You must stop both coffee and tea,

healthier as a drink
Il bought a package of Postum,
made it according to directions. and it

ious coffee She was surprised to hear
1T was Postum. as she had tried Pos
tum before and it was weak and taste
less, but when she found out that 1t
must be boiled quite a long time in
order to bring out the food value and
the taste, she adopted it and is now
using 1t entirely. Her children. as we'll

A PROHIBITION SUGGESTION.
May Offer a Million Votes to the
Democratic Party in Return for
u Prohibition Plank.

u Prohibition Plank.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The Record to-
morrow will say:
1t developed to-day that the Prohibi-
tionists of the United States expect to
go before the Democratic national con-
vention at Kansas City July 4, with a
list of one million voters pledged to
support William j. Bryan if the Demo-
cratic party will adopt a Prohibition
plank in its platform. The advocates
of this movement do not expect the
Democrats to favor such a plank, but
they believe and insist 1t will be the
entering wedge which will finally split
n OF the other of the two great par
ties and build upon the ruins the
foundation of a new party.
The plan of pledging one million vot-
ers who signed an agreement to sup
port no candidate who would not stand
firmly on the Prohibition issue orig
mated with the Rams Horn, a maya
zine which is recognized as the mouth
piece of prohibition. 1t is said the Ma
tional Prohibition convention to-mnr-
row will endorse the effort of the
Rams Horn.
