POSTUM CEREAL.
LAUGHED AT SEALS.
Says They Told a "Sober
:. Truth"

+. one day. perhaps a year ago, my
husband, who is a physician, handed
me a package of Postum Food Co1Iee'
and requested that 1 make a very
: careful test Of it.
/ .Realfzing the Importance, I gave it
INV especial attention in preparation,
sand when it was served, it exceeded
: our expectations. It came to the table
:~steaming with a delicious aroma, and
the first taste convinced me that ] had
found the long sought beverage.
We had some experience with vari-
Gus so-called substitutes" for coffee,
only to find them worthless-mixtures
: of cheap coffee and other things that
> we could not use in our own family,
: and of course the doctor didn't care to
have his patients use them, but with
Postum it is different. 1 occasionally
hear of Postum being served weak and
: fat but that never occurs when time
enough is allowed in boiling to bring
:..ol,t the flavor Doctor now tells me that
3fie takes pleasure in prescribing Pos
furn TO many of his patients who have
:. ..f6und that coffee acts injuriously,
.:causing nervousness, headaches and
. ~dseranged digestion. These symptoms,
he says, in still more aggravated
form. affect thousands of tea drinkers
who would gain immeasurably in
health and happiness If they would
..banish that seductive herb from the
slipper table and replace it with Pos
tiIm Food Coffee.
:: when we first began to use Postum,
:we'induiged in some merriment at the
red seal on the package, and the state
fnerit that 1T Makes Red Blood" It
was not long, however. before we
learned that it was sober truth. My
family remarked the growing color in
my face. NJ weight steadily increased,
10 such a degree that was forced to
'ascribe the change to the use of Pos
tum, and my entire family have now
become addicted TO the beverage.

One promise of a very large attendance

as the rush for tickets will not begin

BERNAL PARK.
The Supervisors Have Ordered It's
Construction

The residents of Precita Valley are
more than pleased at the prospect of hav-
ing Bernal Park established. The site
the Precita Valley Improvement Club has
selected is a small piece of land belonging
to the city lying between the fork of the
two Precita avenues at the base Of Ber-
nal Heights. The place has been in. the
past receptacle for all manner of refuse
and stagnant water.
To fill this hollow to grade there is suf-
ficient rock within hundred yards of the
place, and the expense of beautifying the
site and making it the pleasure-ground OF
the valley will not exceed few thousand
dollars. Supervisor Aigeltinger, chairman
of the Street Committee, with the Su-
perintendent of Streets, visited the valley
a few days ago and instructed the. con-
tractor to go ahead with the work Of
filling the place up to grade. AS soon as
this is done then the top dressing and
other finishing-off process will be applied.

That was on December II and Mr.. Smith
drew a draft on the State Bank of Hart

money and evidently believing in holding

New York.
This too the accommodating lawyer
cashed. On that day, December %, was
presented the first draft for payment, but
IL was returned dishonored, the excuse
being that Mr.. Smith had no money to his
credit in the bank named. OF course there
was some mistake and Mr.. Goodwin of
New York was communicated with. Here
again was another disappointment, for
MI Goodwin's reply, SO far as can be
learned, was that before Mr. Smith left
