"Our Boys was very acceptably given
at yesterdays matinee at the Jefferson

a large audience greeted the production
of "The Great Randolph Mystery. " u
The story of the latter play needs little
dilation as Its plot hinges on murder
which gives 1T melodramatic atmosphere
while there are introduced love scenes
and amusing incidents which keep the
audience interested from start to finish.

some time ago while was in bed with
nervous prostration.
q The physician had strictly forbidden me
to use coffee, and l had tried little

it was served it tasted so fiat that l
broke the rules Of the doctor and occa-
sionally drank cup of coffee, although
each time / suffered for it. During her
conversation, she asked me why | didn +
try Postum. "Oh,'' said, 81 have tried
that, but it's no use, | can't drink it. =
She laughed out loud and said. why,
my dear, you have been imposed upon.
II you once have Postum made right,
you will be in love with it from that time
on l listened to ner with little inter
est and much incredulty, but she kept
on insisting.
4 Shortly after, when recovered little,
I was visiting friends house, who
asked me if / would like cup of Postum,
and when it was served. it tasted no bet

rarently, a most thorough experience
with the taste of Postum, and l knew its
taste to be decidedly fiat and insipid.
However. I found for the good of my

fore it commenced to boil, then l allowed
it to bubble and boil fifteen minutes
more, and after it had settled, poured
out cup which certainly was as ricf
a dark brown cup of coffee as ever saw

From that time on you can imagine
