Sankey, who the authorities said deserted the drab life of a ranchman to take the more lucrative racket of a "big time" kidnaper, apparently had no objection to going to South Da kota, for he waived extradition, and was quickly on his way, carefully guarded by five department of Jus tice agent led by Melvfn Purvis, chief of the department's Chicago of fice.

In a drip coffee maker, boiling water drips only once through a coffee specially prepared to yield its flavor quickly. In a percolator, water passes many times through a coffee prepared to yield its flavor slowly. The same coffee can be used for both methods, but like a "Jack-of-all-trades" it is "master of none" neither drip nor percolator. In one or the other, little things happen. It's a little weak, or a little strong, or a little cloudy, or it has a little less flavor. It's these little things that make or mar good coffee. Be sure to use the correct coffee for each method. Your grocer has two Schilling Coffees,identical in flavor, but each is specially prepared for its purpose each one different in blend, roast and grind.

CreomuUlon may be better heip than you need. It combines seven major helps In one th bt help known to ticlence. It u mule for quick relief, for safety. Mild coughs often yield to lesser helps. No one can tell. No one knows which factor will do most for Ay certain couh. So careful peop.o, more and more, are using Creomulaloa for any cough that starts. ' The coat is a little more than single help. But your druggist guar antees it. so It costs nothing If it fnlls to bring you quick relief. Coughs are danger signals. For safety's sake, deal with them In the best way known. (adv.) Chicago Wheat CHICAGO, Feb. 2. fi Wheat: Open High Low Close May - 90-91 91 9(P 91i July 89 V. 90i 89i,i. oni.
