We tried leaving off coffee but for a morning or two the breakfast was not tempting.
 Then Postum Food Coffee was brought to my notice, and unfortun- ately, the first morning 1t was care lessly made by the cook, and was not at all satisfactory. I determined to look personally after it's preparation. and after noticing that the directions called for full fifteen minutes boiling after boiling had really commenced, I made it that way, and these were some of the exclamations at the breakfast: Why, it's far better than coffee P What an exquisite flavor ? Deli cious, delightful etc.
 ''The effect of the change on my health was magical. The headaches and nervousness were gone, and in their place a peculiar and grateful exhilaration possessed the entire body. I was not the only member of the fam fly that was benefited by the change. One member who had suffered serious ly with stomach trouble, was relieved entirely in a very short time. Perhaps you might be interested to
 know that there are several of our friends who have been greatly helped by the. use of POstum. Mrs. Emma Max used to be greatly troubled with
 nausea and sick headaches; Miss Addie
 Slight was cured of stomach trouble;
 Charles Everson, formerly suffered greatly with headaches and nervous ness; Miss Eliza Smith was great
 sufferer from severe bilious attacks.
 All of these persons have been re-
 lieved of their difficulties and put in a fine condition of health by abandoning
 coffee (which evidently was a poison
 to each of them) and using the Pos-
 tum Food Coffee.
 T am convinced that your claim that Postum furnishes the particles of phosphate of potash and albumen ne- l cessary to rebuild the delicate matter in the nerve centers, is true, for my own experience and that of my family
 and friends gives every indication of it."

ANOTHER BRAIN WORKER
Gives Experience in Coffee Drinking,

My work (writing for papers and magazines) calls for such steady use of the brain, that, like many fellow workers in that line, I became badly exhausted at times, and naturally felt a desire for some sort of a>stimulant
 Coffee I have used considerably. Its effects finally became so apparent that I decided I must make a change, for I could not endure the headaches and extreme nervousness that follow ed. Then came the objections innu- merable from the other members of the family. What shall we have for breakfast In the place of coffee, for you, of all people, are very particular about your morning drink

some judicious advertising might be done in way which would indicate that our privileges are for the whole people and not limited to a favored class of young men. We have now in course of preparation a bulletin board to be placed on the outer wall, on which "The Institute" with it's privileges and terms will be boldly outlined. The Institute Library and Reading Room printed in gilt on the front windows might attract the attention of many passers-by on the other side who do not see the sign at the top of the build ing.
 The serious question with us always is, how to secure and maintain mem- bership sufficiently large to meet our current expenses. Our permanent in- come is now large enough to fairly provide for the purchase of books and periodicals. But 1t is hardly fair to trench upon 1t foe our fixed charges. We must therefore, resort to every available means to make the place at tractive and necessary to larger DOT tion of our citizens. Since the return of MT. BordenB our membership has in- creased steadily and many of our old members are coming back to us.
 Annual dues from six hundred mem- bers would be ample for our wants and l trust we may yet reach that fig ure again. One young man recently told the librarian that there was no place in the city where he received so much for his money.
 The roapaoorpept of ba 1ih,nr1r io now such as to render it worthy of the public favor. Both MT Borden and MT. Shelley aim to accommodate all by ev- cry possible means. Our charging sys- tenn is so free from all red tape that no one is detained at the desk for more than a moment after the selection of book. The librarian is constantly consulted by patrons about the choice of book, and some gentlemen rely entirely upon his guidance for their weekly reading. Investigators find him always ready to give them the benefit of his general knowledge of books for the purpose of looking up any special subject. Affability, efficiency and promptness are the qualities especially enjoined upon our librarians, and, as far as my observation goes, they are faithfully carried out. Fines are not enforced except in the Special Loan Library" in which the fine for each book is fixed by the day or week. This department is now on business basis, and while it yields no revenue it is a great convenience to many patrons, who are bent upon reading every new book almost as soon as it arrives from the press. For this purpose, we some times have as many as ten copies of a popular book on the shelf, and it re- quires careful management to secure a sufficient circulation to pay for them all. The department is popular one, and is often used by members, who pay twice as much for the privi- lege. This sometimes leads to per- manent membership.
 We have made much use this year of trial cards, limited in time which we have sent with explanatory circulars to possible patrons. Many have found by such a use of the institute that they were desirous to become regular mem- bers. This seems to me to be one of the most judicious and effective means
