ABOUT EYES.
Glasses Are Not Always Necessary

Glasses Are Not Always Necessary.
Parents are often advised to get glasses
for their children by the school authori-
ties who attribute the weak. watery con-
dition of the eyes of the child to some de-
feet in the vision, and do not realize tnat
the trouble may arise from the common
practice of coffee drinking.
A case in point, Mrs. c. E. Knapp, of
Elyria, o., says, "Six months ago we
were a family of invalids; my husband.
myself and two children were all afflicted
with stomach trouble. l would get SO
faint before it was time for regular
meals, and after eating had pain and
distress in the stomach, which felt as
though there was hard lump in there.
l felt drowsy and stupid most of the time.
If 1 was out in the wind my eyes would
water so it hindered me from seeing.
My son was the worst afflicted. His
eyes blurred they hindered his pro-
gress in school and we thought it would
be necessary to have them treated. His
teacher finally had him bring his reader
home with word that l have him read an
hour each day out of school. He could
not read a paragraph without stopping
to wipe his eyes or close them. We were
great cOH6e especially NY UOy,
but never thought that was the cause of
our trouble until | read an article on the
subject in the Cleveland paper.
We were discussing it at table one
day and my daughter said, L know it is
coffee that hurts me for when 1 do not
drink it 1 do not have that lump in my
stomach. My boy said, "A lump is
nothing, every time l drink coffee my
fingers prickle just as though they were
asleep l was both scared and aston
ished at such information. and told them
| had made the last cup of coffee l ever
would for home use. l got package of
Postum Food Coffee and tried it for our
next meal and we soon learned to like it
and think it better than coffee.
We have none of us been troubled
with our stomachs since we commenced
to use it, Our eyes do not water any
more when in the wind, our cheeks and
lips are red instead of blue or purple
when we are out in the cold; the drowsy
feeling has left and the priekly feeling
has entirely left my son. We use 1t
twice a day and give it freely to my 20
months old babe We find it better and
cheaper than coffee. We cannot speak
too highly of its merits for we know we
owe the change in our health to Postum
Cereal Food Coffee

week after the strike was called of,
according to Manager Starkey, not one
Of the foray was left. and all the old
hands were back in their places. When
the strike was declared off, the nom
unionists, all Of them imported, began
to leave, and the company filed their
places with old employees as fast as
the vacancies occurred. There were no
conflicts Of any kind between the two
classes of employees.
Not few Of these imports were
members of the United Mine Workers
who went on strike at the North Amer
lean company's washery in Schuylkill
county, Pa. and were persuaded to go
to work at Minooka, where they were
not known. On leaving Minooka they
bought tickets to Punxsutawney. JET
