SISTER'S TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.
How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee Head

"I was a coffee fiend—a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet dinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. 1 mocked at Poatnm and

^5ae day my sister substituted a
cap of piping hot Postum for my morn-
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what It was. 1 noticed the richness
of it and remarked that the ‘coffee*
tasted fine but my sister did not tell
me I was drinking Postum for fear I
might not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept giv-
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
I grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a dearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve-
strengthening life-saver she had given
me la plaoe of my morning coffee.
"From that time I became a disciple
of Postum and no words can do jus-
tice in telling the good this -cereal
drink did me. I will not try to tdl it,
for only after having used it can one
be convinced of Its merits.”

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. It re-
sults from War conditions.
These leading tires—built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always—are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August—when war began—the
world’s rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others—in that panic—were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
world’s rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub-
ber. They bought—before the advance—1,500,-
000 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the world’s
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of a constant supply, and our pick ofN
the best that’s produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick-
est in action. As a result, we shall soon have in
storage an almost record supply of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices. *
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected. But that “off rubber” now sella
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in-general are far in advance of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the same
tire as always. And that grade won for
years the top place in Tiredom—the largest sale
in the world.

them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers,

until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That mean* that Goodyear*—the best
tires built—are selling way below other tires.

WASPS OF WAR
Both Are Getting Their First
Real Test in This Con-
flict in Europe.
MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now Is Prepared to
Pull the Other’s Sting, but Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.
Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons, and for the last
century there have been countless In-
ventions for the carrying on of war-
fare in a particularly destructive man-
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible thta it must soon pass away
from the face of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible contrivance was
invented and Introduced Into armies
and navies inventors - immediately
busied themselves by offsetting and
discounting its probable effect. Con-
sequently war not only has not passed
away, but we still have it with us.
Thus it is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the world’s last con-
flagration, is found upon examination
to be false, and the end of war is not
yet arrived.
Trying Out Inventions.
In the present war In Europe there
are being tried under the conditions of
actual hostilities many Improvements
and inventions that previously have
been tried only under laboratory con-
ditions. Their real worth, will only be
discovered at the close of the conflict.
No army or navy engaged in the
present conflict in Europe but what is
possessed of nearly all of the modern 1
Improvements made since 1870. The
WASTE LAND MADE FERTlLr
submarine, which was a dream In
.1^65, is owned by the navy of the
smallest power. It is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much In a real struggle, so
the larger navies of the great powers
have fleets of submarines. The aero-
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession of all arm-
ies In Europe today, yet they,, too, are
only expected to be of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little Insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, apro-
T.
planes have been used to a limited ex-
tent, and this use has been sp much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by
the present war.
It is much the same with the wire-
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest effi-
ciency. In the intervening decade, how-
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. It is now possible and, In-
deed, is a custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
of more than 6,000 miles. This, then,
is a new and important factor m naval
operations, as was seen by the censor-
ship put over the great sending sta-
tions cm this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authortiies.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence In
1904, but it was a very' different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today- Yet Its
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
In all the navies o< the world.
The latest edition of Brassey’s Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines In the various navies,
and shows what interest Is being
taken in the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has 76 built, and Is building 20
more; Germany, who only began build-

Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are/
small and probably of little efficiencyJ
and France has numerous types about
which little Is known by the out-4'*-'
world The German submarine
said to be built along tha He
lines, whilef the Russian subi
are said>to follow one or more of
Fsench types.
The submarine, f*om a
viewpoint, should be a great factor
deciding a naval engagement, but the
fact remainaJEfcat up to the present!
time it has done nothing to prove its
value. It waVbelleved that the moral
effect of ‘ the submarine would be al-
most as important as its physical ef-i
feet upon an enemy’a warship, but
this belief has not been justified, up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would'
be terrific rights under the seas by;
submarine meeting submarine and de»
straying each other. But it has been*
found that when submerged the sute'
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re^
sort to the use of the periscope, which
emerges unostentatiously above the
water, in order to see its own ooureaj
It is known that tha periscope la
the eye of the submarine, and natural;
ly attention has been paid to the beat
way of destroying tbit vital part of
their boats.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon it being seen. It waa
believed that it would go upon its wayj
dealing death without observation, al-
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and whew
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But It has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course of s submerged submarine
with ** great accuracy as if it was
running on the surface. The diyigtbi#
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submartna, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like w
fish.

which under tha ordinary system pre-

tion of this area, and it Is expected
that it will bring from $75 to $100 aw
