w. c. T. U. LADIES
stand True When They Know the Facts


She was a nervous little woman with
eallow complexion and an uncertain con-
dition of health. sit is a shame to have
80 many articles appearing in the paper,
CHASING coffee with whiskey and to-
bacco. she said. "Whoever heard of
coffee causing a man to abuse his wife or
oom,pit,criines, such as whiskey has been
responsible for. I"
There seems to be some reason for the
little woman's argument, until the sub
iect Is looked upon from fair and un-
preiudiced standpoint. We.are all inclined
to quickly resent any inputatlon cast
unon our favorite drink or habit
It is a curious spectacle to philoso-
pher, chemist or physician to see promi-
nent W. C. Z. q. woman drinking coffee
and serving it to her family, while lmme-
diateIy after breakfast she may start IN
her round of work, fighting against Wnls-
KEY and tobacco. We must allow that she
does not really know that the enemies
she is contending against are simply
older brothers of the coffee that has placed
around her the spell of habit. which she
is SO free to denounce in those who use
one or the other of the brothers OF this
family; but when she is told that coHee
contains the same alkaloids as whlskey
and tobacco, has very much the same
effect upon the body and nerve centers,
that delirium tremens caused by excessive
coffee drinking, is by no means uncom-
mon, and that the active cause of much
of the nervous prostration of women
throughout America comes from that
same smooth, polished, insidious destroy
er of nervous vigor and physical health,
she is half inclined to follow the exam
pie of our friend spoken of in the begin
ming of the article.
When one becomes convinced that
health Is worth more than the continu-
ance of habit, then is a good time to
make a trial of Postum Food Coffee, an
article made for those who caDnot digest
common coffee, and who like hot, frag-
rant, delicious beverage at the meals.
The food elements contained in Postum
and which go directly to rebuild the nerve
centers. are shown by the analysis on the
slip in the package. Grocers sell Postum
in l5c and 25c packages.

matter with starting a club? By that is
meant the reorganization of the old and
yet famous Warren.
| There are hundreds of people here who
would be willing to join the club, if
started. All the movement wants is a
start. Here is the first push, and, as it
is a good thing, it will no doubt be-
pushed along.
All persons who would be willing to
help reorganize the Warren Club should
send their names to the Sporting Editor
of THE Sun, and when enough have been
secured meeting will be held, when
matters will be put in working order
and the Warren Club will once more
