and hopes that no one who needs a
small temporary loan will hesitate to
take advantage of the company's offer
because of any fear that the rates
might be too high. They have been
made so low that even the poorest
can easily afford to get loan.
The furniture is left with the bor-
rover, and there Is absolutely no pub
lcity, for the company realizes that
that is just what the public are most
anxious to avoid.
AS for the payments, each borrower
Is permitted to say just when 1t would
be most convenient to pay. Most of
those who have taken out loans so far
have preferred to pay III small month
ly instalments. Some pay by the week,
but in no case is the borrower COM
PEELED to pay all at once.
1t will be noticed at once how much
better it is to get loan this way than
by pawning things. With this plan
you have the use of the goods while
you also have the money.
The company intends to make loans
anywhere within twenty-five miles Of
Scranton. All applications should be

WHY DON'T THEY GO?
A Way to Push Off the "Hang on's.

Perhaps some day you will wake up
to the fact that coffee is quickly and
surely doing the business for you. You
wonder why the symptoms of disease
which grow more and more pronounced
do not disappear, but hang on in spite
of all the medicines you can take.
Fixed organic disease may result If
you keep up your present course, and
yet it is an easy thing to give up coffee
and get well. Have your cook make
Postum Food Coffee strictly according
to directions, and that Is easy. Use
enough of it and boil long enough to
bring out the taste, then you will find
that the famous food drink will satisfy
your coffee taste and the old troubles
gradually disappear
There are hundreds of thousands of
cases in America that prove the truth
OF this statement.
A gentleman from Columbus, Ca,
says: "My wife had been an invalid
for some time and did not seem to yield
to any sort of medicines. She could
not eat anything without distress, and
naturally was badly run down in every
way. H..
FINALLY we concluded that perhaps It
was the coffee that hurt her, so she
quit 1t and went on to Postum, also be-
gan using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food,
She Immediately began to improve and
kept gaining strength and health. Now
she can eat heartily of anything she
wants, vegetables and anything else,
without hurting her. She has gained
nearly thirty pounds since she made
the change.
Il saw such an improvement in her
health that decided to quit coffee my
self and you would be surprised to see
the change. have gained in flesh about
rs pounds. and have entirely lost the
old, dull headaches that used to have
