Washington. February s.-Reports to
the effac, that the republican leaders o.
the senate have found dehnite plans FOR
an extra session Of congress for CUR

they say they are eng ged in an oirnest

Food Cannot he Boiled as Quickly as In
| Low.
The curious experiences people
have with coffee drinking are worth
pondering over if anyone is ailing
and does not know the exact reason
thereof.
Coffee is u secretive worker, and
through the nervous system affects
different parts of the body in diff
ferent people.
\ young married woman, Mrs. 7.
L. Blackman, of Oswego, Montana,
had conclusive experience in the
effects of coffee on her eyes. She
says. II have used coffee since a
child, but a short time ago my eyes
began to grow weak, and the least
eXertion such as reading or sewing
would cause shooting pains and
wavy lines of light so that 1 could
see but little else for minutes at n
time.
This alarmed me and L earnestly
sought the cause of the trouble.
Someone told me that coffee some
times affected the eyes. / at once
decided to quit il and see if / would
be benefited, but 1 must have some
thing to take the place of coffee, for
| wanted to modify, az much as pos
sible, the sacrifice of giving il up.
So 1 decided to try Postum for my
self. When it came | made it strict
ly according to directions and was
wonderfully surprised and pleased
with il. Husband says that my Pos
tum is very different, indeed, from
that he once drank at Il friends
table.
l frankly own that 1 like Postum
better than L ever liked coffee. 1t
has a rich body to il that coffee
lacks. i boil il longer than twenty
minutes and it improves it. Per-
haps it requires longer boiling in the
attitudes. / think ii does.
For three months now l have been
using Postum and have been wonder
fully benefited. My eyes no longer
pain me, and are strong as they ever
were. My complexion, instead of
being sallow as formerly, is clear
and rosy. 1 know to a certainty that
my Improvement has been caused by
leaving off coffee and using Postum,
for that is absolutely the only
change / have made, and 1 have
taken no medicine.
A Mr.. Randall, a friend of ours,
has obtained relief from his stom-
ach trouble and headaches by leav-
ing off coffee and taking Postum.
We think we know something of the
facts about coffee and about Postum.
