Is Your Salt
Untouched by Hand?
A model factory, wonderful automatic machinery, rigid scientific control and the handy pourer package enable Cerchos to be placed on your table without at any time being touched by hand. Salt of unknown origin packed without these safeguards cannot give you the same security. Therefore always use Cereboa for its unvarying purity.

(Special Air-Mail Service)
Sunday Feb. 13.--Field-Marshal Sir William Robertson, who rose from the ranks and was Chief of the Imperial General Staff in the war years, 1915-18, died suddenly in bed at his residence in West- bourne-torrace, London, W., yester day morning, at the age of 73 years. Death was due to heart failure, and according to the London Daily Telegraph it must have occurred within a few seconds of the seizure. Sir William's death came as a great shock to Lady Robertson and the members of the family, for up] to Saturday he showed no sign of illness or fatigue.
On Saturday morning, indeed, he played a round of golf, and dined out in the evening. When he re- tired there was no reason to imagine that he was in any way unwell.
He was in his usual cheery hum pur yesterday morning when, about half-past seven, he took his early cup of tea. But at half-past eight, as he was about to get up, he com plained to Lady Robertson that he felt unwell, and collapsed with startling suddenness. Miss Helen Robertson, the younger daughter. telephoned for Dr. E. N. Showell- Rogers, of Kensington Park-gar- dens, and the latter was joined by the family medical man, Dr. Ar- thur Shirley, of Curzon-street.
No Inquest Necessary. Only Lady Robertion was with her husband when death occurred, and it came 87 suddenly that for a while she failed to realiss that he had passed away. An inquest will not be necessary.
The elder daughter, Rosamond, wife of Lt.-Cmdr.. Walter Lockett Agnew, lives not far from her fa ther's house. Her husband and she hurried to Westbourne-terrace receiving the news.
