FIXED THE MINISTER.
AND He Neeaea Lool.lnr After.

"In minister's family in Los An
geles where was visiting some time
ago, the wife complained of serious
Indigestion and dyspepsia. She adj
mitted that she used coffee, and said
she more than half believed that was
the trouble. l told her that 1 knew
| it was the trouble, for L had gone
through with the experiment myself
and had only been cured when l left
off coffee and took up Postum Food
Coffee.
She said she had tried the Postum,
both for herself and her husband, but
they did ont like it. With her per-
mission, 1 made Postum next morn
ing myself, and boiled it full is min
utes after the real boiling of the pot
began. Then when it was served, it
was a rich, deep brown color and had
the true flavor and food value that
every Postum maker knows 1t is all
folly to talk about trying TO make
Postum with one or two minutes
sleeping.
You can't get something good for
nothing. 1t must be boiled, boiled,
boiled, and to keep it from boiling
over, use small lump of butter, per-
haps twice the size of a pea. That
morning the minister and his wife
liked Postum so well that their whole
lives were changed on the question of
diet, and they abandoned coffee at
once and for all time.
Now after hard days work, they
are comforted, refreshed, and rested
by cup of well-made Postum for
supper. They are both enthusiastic
in its praise. The wife has entirely
recovered from her dyspepsia. will
not go into details of my own case,
except TO say that was desperate

was the cause of it. / quickly got |

tendance was as large as could be
comfortably accommodated and the
fun continued till well into the
morning hours. Supper was served
at midnight in the dining rooms.
The parlors of the Broadway Pres
byterian church were the scene of a
gay assemblage last evening on the
occasion of the annual sale of fancy
work with the accompanying supper
given by the ladies of the congrega-
tion. The sale opened at in the af-
ternoon and supper was served from
5 TO s in the evening. During that
time it is estimated that about GOO
persons visited the sale and 400 of
them took supper. The east parlor
was given up to the sale of the fancy
work which had been made by the
ladies and young people of the
church. The west parlor was re-
served for the sale of fruits and
home made candies and the serving
of ice cream and cake. The supper
tables were set in the old Sunday
school room on the second floor and
the dumb walters were used 10 COM
municate with the kitchen in the
basement. The facility with which
the crowd was handled, especially in
the matter of serving supper, was
matter which reflected much credit
upon the ladies in charge. The au-
ditorium of the church was used to
accommodate the overflow from the
dining room and for the storing of
wraps. Many from other churches
we're present during the evening and
the affair is accounted one of the
greatest successes, particularly in a
social way, that has been held at the
church in wears
