May BE Acquired and Used With

May Re Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the
body ard mind is an art not easily
gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one as
much content. comfort, happiness
and pleasure as those conditions of
easy. restful, resourceful and well
balanced mind and body, that make of
work pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with
hundred duties and harrassed by child
rem; the business man, worried with
the press of daily affairs, debts, etc,
cannot enjoy the peace and restful
repose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how
There is a way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is sure ruin to
the nervous system, and the whole
condition of health and happiness
rests upon stomach, nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop
using things that break down its
power, upset its nervous energy and
prevent the proper digestion of the
food and the consequent manufacture
of healthful blood and nerves, brain
and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Pos
tum Food Coffee. That is like stop
ping the payment of interest and
starting on a career where you are
loaning money and receiving interest.
The good results are double. You
stop poisoning the system with coffee
and start building up the broken down
nerve cells by powerful elements con-
tanned in Postum. These are pure
food elements ably selected by ex-
perts for the purpose of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to
perform this rebuilding.
These are solid substantial facts
and can be proven clearly to the sat
j isfaction of anyone, by personal ex-
perience Try the change yourself
and note how the old condition Of
shattered nerves and worried mind
changes to that feeling of restful poise
of well balanced nervous system.
The managing physician Of a hygi-
enic sanitarium in Indiana says that
| for FIVE years in his practice he has
! always insisted upon the patients

Dead Bodies siIxer.Plated.

A German professor has invented a
process Of silver-plating dead bodies
so as to convert them into metallic
images of the individuals as they
were when in life. Gold plate can be
used if the relatives can afford it. But
as the expense of silver-plating a
body is $4,000, there are probably
few relatives who would deem them
selves justified in squandering an
estate on such a memorial.
