A Long Bath.

A man who is Il lawyer and jour
nalist in one Of the smaller inland cit
les Of Ohio tells of an uncle he has in
the region Of MasSillon. This relative
is one of the pious members of a small
community and, being possessed Of
considerable executive ability. has
been for more than 20 years the super
intcndent of thriving Sunday school.
His besctting sin. if it might be called
such. is his propensity to cNaggerate
stories in order to make them interest
ing to his auditors.
Some time ago he was telling his
LAWYER journalist nephew of how be
cured himself of the ague. 1t was sew

remedy in vain. he at last consulted an
old Indian doctor, who advised him, he
SAYS, TO go down to the creek each
morning Immediately on rising and sit
in The cold water up to his chin. He
was to sit there one minute the first
morning and then double the time each
day for 30 days. The uncle says he
followed the prescription and was
cured.
The nephew. who happens to be Of q
calculating turn Of mind. figured out
how long his uncle would stay in his
cold bath on the twentieth day He

LOST 1HE TASTE
For Ordinary Coffee.

1T is strange how people will try t.
invent some cause for their feeling
bad. rather than to charge the trouble
to som" habit they may have that they
have good reason to believe is the rea
cause. For instance. all the time that
We We're using coffee on our table | was
subject To occasional terrible head
aches, and nv husband was half sicb
with nervous troubles.
I'VE felt satisfied that coffee was the
cause. but were afraid we wouldn't like
Postum Cereal Coffee. and therefore
tried in every way To think that some
thing in the food. or some other rea-
son. was the real cause of our troubles.
After reading several articles in regard
to the evil effects Of coffee drinking
and the merits Of Postum Food Coffee. |
became convinced of the truth of the
statements and called my husband
attention to them.
He was skeptical on the subject, but
to please me. said we would give Pos
tum a trial. so he procured a package
and | made it, but the milk we Wer
using was of the kind that produced
little cream. and that did not give US
as good a beverage as we found after
wards could be secured with cream.
However. in spite Of the drawback. We
grew to like the Postum Food Coffee.
and both of us found ourselves greatly
benefited by the change. My head
ceased to trouble me entirely. and my
husband was practically made over.
I'VE were out of the Postum for
+in,e and having coffee in the house
and feeling 80 much better, we con
cluded to try the coffee again, but in
few DAYS my headaches came back, 50
that we became satisfied where the
raal trouble existed. We used Postum
for quite a long time. and still having
some coffee in the house, tried coffee
again. Imagine our surprise in diScoN-
ering that we no longer cared for the
taste of the ordinary coffee. so the next
morning we had rare treat. in cup
Of piping hot, delicious Postum.
