Cereal Food Millionaire, After fighting Suicidal Inclina tion, Succumbs. HEALTH LONG IMPAIRED Ttifle Seeretcd in I loom and Care Vsed to Elude Xurses lrov Suicidal Intent Had Been Harbored Some Time. SANTA BARBARA. Cal.. May 9. C. W. Post, millionaire cereal food manu facturer of Battle Creek, Mich., shot himself in the head with a rifle here today at 10 o'clock and died instantly. That he had long harbored suicidal in tention was indicated by the prepara tions he made. That he had resisted the impulse was the testimony of Miss Klla Benson, his nurse, who said that for several weeks past he had made repeated efforts to put the inclination out of his mind. She said he had horror of a gun of any kind and that once, at his request, all firearms had been removed from the house. A Coroner's jury tonight returned a non-committal verdict, aimply finding that Mr. Post died from the effects of a gunshot wound. Dr. J. C. Bain- bridge, his physician, testified at the inquest that Mr. Post undoubtedly was temporarily insane when he killed him self. Prolonged 111 Health Cause. Mr. Post had been convalescing, it was thought, from a prolinged illness- lie excused himself from the attending nurse, against her protest, by saying he wished to lie down and to.be alone and quiet. He went to his apartment and in a moment a shot was heard. He had placed the muzzle of a rifle in hi mouth and touched the trigger with his toe. The top of his head was blown off. The home here was one that had been acquired as a Winter residence. Only recently he had discussed with Mrs. Post the plans of a magnificent new residence he contemplated build ing on a tract adjoining. He had char tered a private car to take himself and Mrs. Post and their servants to Battle Creek next Saturday. It was through an illness that Mr, Post became interested in the manufac ture of cereal foods on a large scale He was born in 1854. He engaged in the hardware -and other lines of bust ness there until 1884, when his health broke down. He traveled extensively in search of treatment for some time and arrived here in 1891. His search for health was responsible, it is saM for his investigation into the health food subject, and when his health had been regained he turned all of his at tention to that line of endeavor. Recent Operation Recalled. His more recent illness was believed to be a recurrence of his early trouble. when an operation was decided on h made a memorable trip by special train to Rochester, Minn., at record-breaking speed. As an additional precaution against delay, the special train which carried the invalid was followed over the different roads by an extra en Kine. prepared to take up the trip whould accident interfere with the train. The trip from Los Angeles to Rochester was made- in 61 hours 5 minutes, or 7 hours faster thaji schedule time. Mr. Post was chairman of the Pos tum Ccre&l Company, Ltd.; the Battle Creek Paper Company, the Home and Kireside Company, Ltd.; president of the Louble U. Company, the Post Land Company, and a director of the Central National Bank of Battle Creek. He was for four years president of the National Association of American Advertisers, and was a member of the National Manufacturers Association. He was made president of the Na tional Citizens' Industrial Association of America in 1908 and for several years attracted wide attention because of his attacks on labor unions. He, was an ardent supporter of the "open shop ViOSIER HEARS CANDIDATE V. A. Carter Pays Illgrli Tribute to K. A. Booth. MOS1ER, Or., May 9. (Special.)

EXCHANGE IS FAVORED BlLli TO GIVK OK KGO .V CO M PACT FOHEST KKPORTED TO HOUSE, Isolated Tract Row Valuelens ttP State, Ochoco Reserve Measure Also Acted, on Favorably. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash- inston. May 9. Representative Sinnott, by authority of the House committee on public lands, has reported favorably to the House a bill, heretofore passed by the Senate, authorizing the State of Oregon to exchange its scattered school and indemnity lands In forest reserves for a compact body of forest lands of equal area and approximately the same value. The bill affects about 50,000 acres and was introduced orig inally at the request of Governor West in order that the state, might obtain title to a single tract of land suitable for a state forest. This bill is favored both by the state and the Federal governments, for the Fcattered school sections are of prac tically no value to the state, lying in isolated tracts, and the Government prefers to have its holdings in com pact areas, if possible, for. administra tive purposes. Mr. Sinnott has also reported from the public lands committee another bill passed by the Senate authorizing the secretary of the Interior to issue oaten to land within the Ochoco National for est for lands owned by private nar ties, when such private holdings are conveyed to the Government. The pur pose or this out is similar to that o ine qui previously reierred to. save that this bill affects privately owned rattier man (state lands within the res crvauon. A third bill reported by Mr. Sinnott provides that where a homestead try man who has made final proof on an original entry or ibo acres has land udjonune: a tract that has been des ignated for enlarged homestead entry, . iie may nave tne privilege of enlare ing his homestead to an aggregate of o acres. As the law now stands, th rietht of additional entry is denied to all homesteaders who have submitted ilnal proof.

If everybody could have a bottle or two of Peruna after they have had grip they would get well a great deal sooner than they usually do. "There 13 no better medicine in the world for colds and grip than Peruna. One bottle did more to re lieve me of a bad cold and case of grip than any remedies that I have ever taken." Other things being equal, th. ready - to - take medicine i the cheaper. On this phase of the sub ject Mrs. Weir says: I am a widow with a very small income, and have to look to every penny very - closely. Under these circumstances your medicine is a godsend to me. One bottle of Peruna has accomplished for me more than an expensive course of treatment of any other sort. Of this I feel sure. As a matter of economy every one ought to. have a bottle of Peruna in the house.
