drinking. A trained nurse relates her
experience with number of different

and attacks of indigestion, so l quit
coffee and went onto hot water, not

husband began to complain Of coffee
coming up in his mouth more or less
during the forenoon, and it made 1t
very disagreeable for him. One day l
said: Suppose we try that Postum
Food Coffee which is advertised so
much. So we did and l prepared it
according to directions. The beverage
proved delicious and we liked it so
much and it agreed with us so well
we have used it for over two years
now.
My palpitation of the heart, head
aches and Indigestion have gone alto
gether. It is very easy to make by
boiling Is or 20 minutes with small
piece of butter put in the pot to pre-
vent its boiling over.
my cousin, who is a telegraph ope-

gave up the use of coffee and COM
menced using Postum, and since that
time he has not been troubled with
dyspepsia.

fered with indigestion for three years.
She drank nothing but tea. I made
Postum for her and showed her how

ORIGIN OF THE IDEA OF INVITING OVER
THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.
Paris. Nov 16.-Deputy Deloncle has been in
terviewed with regard to his statement at the
banquet of the Industrial Commercial and Eco
nomical Society on Friday that he had received
information that the st. Louis Exposition Com
mission had decided to invite President Loubet
to visit America. He says the matter not
intended to be made public yet Two years
ago he mentioned to the exposition officials the
possibility OF a visit from President Loubet. II
was a mere after dinner remark, 20 which he
did not attach much Importance. He was sur
prised, he says. when he received information
from St Louis that the idea might materialize
and that proposal to extend a formal invita-
ton TO President Loubet to visit the EXPOSE
ton was being seriously considered. 81 at
tribute this action NJ. Deloncle continues Ito

There are few events in the history OF
France more glorious than the cessOn of LOuisi-
