Carloads Received with Post
Toasties, the Double Crisp Corn

at Battle Creek
Progressive Firms Here Buy Post Toasties in Record
Breaking Quantities to Keep Up with Increasing Local
Demands for Crisper, Better Corn Flakes

Local iobbers and wholesalers
report big increase in the sales of
Post Toasties. Post Toasties have
become a favorite here, they say,
because of the fine quality of the
corn fakes and the special toasting
process of the Postum Company
that seals in the true corn favor in
lasting crispness.
Post Toasties are the corn fakes
that keep their favor and crispness
in milk or cream. Local grocerS
have recognized this trend of public
taste, and have contributed to the
growth of Post Toasties sales by a
good display of the famous red and
yellow, wax-wrapped Post Toasties
package.

One of the most unusual food
events of recent months occurred
here with the arrival of record
breaking shipments of Post T castles,
the double-crisp corn fakes, fresh
from the ovens at Battle Creek,
Mich.
! 1t was an impressive tribute to
the size and importance of the food
industry to see case after case of
Post Toasties unloaded from car
load shipments. According to local
dealers, Post Toasties have made
themselves favorite here because
of the double-crispnesS that seals in
the true corn flavor.
The local district manager of
Postum Company, makers of Post
Toasties Double : Crisp Corn
Flakes Posts Bran Flakes, Posts
Bran Chocolate, Postum Cereal,
Instant Postum, Grape Nuts and
carbohydrates, wasinterviewed.
j He said: These record-breaking
shipments of cereal foods are some
thing that both local food firms and
the Postum Company may well be
proud of. The Postum Company
is the worlds largest manufacturer
and advertiser of grocery products.
1t is very gratifying to me to have
these record breaking shipments
come into my territory.
Only the whole-hearted coop
Grafton of local food firms could
have made such tremendous ship
ments possible. Post Toasties have
justly earned their place as the
favorite breakfast food here. It's a
matter of great pride to me, and
should be to everyone who is inter-
ested in better foods, that local firms
have brought these record-breaking
shipments here. Now everyone can
have Post Toasties at their best
crisp, havory and fresh from the
ovens at Battle Creek

 At meeting of the class held yesterday Claude o. Rhoades was elected president. Howard G. Ro- mig, vice-president. Jean Bunnell. secretary and James J. Connors. treasurer. Those who have loyalty supported the building of this in stitution for the young men and young women of the Territory now find that its progress is sufficient to justify every effort that has been put forth in the interests of higher education. For the first time since it opened in 1922 it is a complete unit with its adminis- trative offices, class rooms. labor atories, central heating and power plane and dormitories for men and women. Another year will find the college opening with all it's available dormitory space reserved well in advance. A conservative estimate is that when the tenth year of the College begins there will be an attendance of at least 25O enrolling in regular four year courses.

Consideration Of Measure
Will Be Deferred Until

WASHINGTON Dec. 16 H9 = The
$500 100000 tax reduction BILL the
smallest passed by the house since the
war, awaited a generous reception to-
day by the senate.
Before the measure could be for
mally received, the senate being in
recess for the day, Senator Summons
of North Carolina. the ranking demo-
crat on the finance committee, which
will take up the legislation, reiterated
his declaration that a $400, 100000 slash
lis safe and possible"
While republican leaders we're pre-
pared to attempt to hold the total cut
within range of the administration
limit of $225, 100000, they were making
no predictions Of success in view OF
the temper displayed by members OF
congress since the session began.
The finance committee probably will
defer consideration of the bill which
received house approval last night un-
til after the Christmas holidays, but 1t
plans no extensive hearings. Secretary
Mellon and other officials of the
treasury will be invited in for fur
tier expression Of their views as tc
where the cuts should be made. Arous-
ed by ac' ion of the house in going be-
yond the. reduction that had been sci
by republican leaders there, Chairman
Madden. of the house appropriations
committee gave notice today that house
members had "foreclosed their chance
of making an argument with me" fol

Of the "a representatives who votec
against the bill, added that he haE
endeavored to keep some money II

niands that will be made upon it dur

Although Chairman Snoot of thu
senate finance committee is anxious tt
hold the total reduction under $780,,

mittee as it determined to go to the
bottom OF documents published in
Hearst papers purporting to SNOW
that a $1,215,OOO Mexican fund was
created for four United States
senators.
Accepting the unqualified dentals
of the four senators named in the
documents -Borah of Idaho, Norris
of Nebraska, Heflin of Alabama and
La Toilette of Wisconsin-that they
received any Of the money, the COM
mittee pressed forward today in its
effort to establish the authenticity OF

After another brief hearing it was
still confronted with the story OF
Miguel Avila, American born son OF
Mexican father and Italian mother,
that he bought all the documents
with money furnished by William

IS PE1ILANDERER, WIFE AYERS


NEW YORK, Dec. 16 (P)-The
charge that Sebastian S. Kresge,
wealthy chain store owner, lived
the life of philanderer while dis
tributing huge sums to charity, was
made in supreme court today by
counsel for his wife, who is suing
for a separation. The charge was
made during argument on a mo-
ton for counsel fees for Mrs. Doris
M. KreSge, who attorneys said had
been forced to pawn her jewels to
meet her legal expenses. No spec
ific amount was asked.
Walter ]. Lynch, of Mrs. Kresge's
counsel, asserted that from Decem-
Der. 1926 tC April, 1927, Kresge
lived in New York with Gladys
Adele Fish, of Natick, Mass, a
sister of girl emplOye of one of
Mr.. Kresge's stores and known to
her associates as "The Princess"
Lynch said that private detec-
tives would swear that they, with
Mrs. Kresge, followed Kresge to
an apartment in East Forty
Eighth street where they found
