MENDED CHINA
Don't Do Well With Hot Water

1--WE housewives know better than
to use hot water on mended china, and
common sense tells me that coffee or
tea should never be used by those who
have undergone operations for stom-
ach trouble or appendicitis, etc. In
fact, If it were not for the stomach
troubles set up by coffee, I believe
these operations would not be neces-
sary in nine cases out Of ten," says

fee. find it much richer and clearer
by making over, always adding a little
more fresh Postum and then proceed as
if fresh. My husband never likes it
fresh as well as the second or third
make-over. Our physician who rec
commended Postum to us was q con-
firmed coffee drinker, but found that
one cup of Postum satisfied him and
improved his digestion immediately.
Another physician acquaintance had a
similar experience. But I started to
ton. He had four operations for
stomach trouble. I feel certain that
had he used Postum in place of tea
and coffee for years preceding this
the operations would never have been
necessary.
several weeks ago Our Postum ran
out and he used coffee for several days.
His old trouble asserted itself at once
and there was an immediate rush for
Postum, which drove the trouble a.Wav

Dr.. Leverson Addresses a MisceIIane-

DR.. Montague r. Leverson disccurs-
ed before 100 persons in the hall Of
the house of Representatives last even
ing on the evils of vaccination. Half
of the audience were women, and less
than dozen members of the legisla-
ture heard the talk.
DR.. Leverson practically repeated his
lecture delivered at the Metropolitan
ten days ago, and laid special stress
on the statements that vaccination
was pernicious practice, productive
of serious injury, and had nc basis cf
fact or science to support it, and that
smallpox when properly treated rarely
was attended with serious results.
He stated that he would like to de-
liver a course of a dozen lectures, but
declared that no medical school in the
country would listen to him.
At the close of the address J. w.
Griggs read a letter from Judge Sever
ance, of Mankato, in which the writer
stated that he was with the anti-vac-
cinationists in their stand.
