POINTS TO YOU
How Coffee Sets Its Grip and Is
Never Suspected.

1t is surprising how many people
never suspect that coffee is causing all
their trouble until they are finally
knocked out OF some disease caused
by coffee has become chronic and al
most incurable.
Even in chronic cases the chances
are a shift from coffee to Postum Food
Coffee will build the sick one up and
in time effect a cure
Sometimes this happens with surpris-
ing promptness. A lady of Syracuse,
Neb.. says: Last spring year ago my
doctor told me I would have to stop
drinking coffee. I had heart trouble so
bad that the least excitement would
cause me to choke up so could scarcely
get my breath and I was so nervous
could not bear to have the children
move around the house.
Doctor told my husband to get
Postum for me but before he did so we
moved to the country and I fell back on
milk and water but even such exertion
as climbing a flight of stairs caused my
heart to hurt me so I would feel sick
and faint.
This continued all summer until in
the fail we again moved to Syracuse
There 1 got some Postum and began to
feel so much better after using one
package that Continued its use alto
gether and I am now. better in health
than 1 have ever been before in eight
years am stronger and feshier than L
ever was ard have not had the head
ache but three times since began to
use Postum year ago. The cnange
certainly seems wonderful for L nave
had no return OF the heart trouble at all
and I never get tired telling what Pos
turn has done for me-" Name given by

BIRTHDAYS IN JAPAN.
Singular Thing About Them Il Every
hoy Il Supposed to lie Born
on March J.

With the exception OF the emperor
there are no individual birthdays In de-
lightfully interesting Japan. The peo-
pie. however. make up for this neglect by
naving sort OF general birthday of
everybody in common. which is cele-
brated with great rejoicing.
There are two OF these general holi-
days, one for each sex. The male birth
day, which is known rs the celebration
of the boys" occurs on the third day Of
the third month and the fifth day of the
fifth month. These days are generally
put aside and boys and girls respectively
receive Lresents according to their sta
tion.
The birthday OF the emperor, or Ten-o,
as he is more properly styled, is also n
general holiday for the japanese every
where. The houses are all decorated
with flags. and in the evening the streets
are gay with the lights of innumerable
colored lanterns. In the morning the
highest authorities go to the palace and
offer their congratulations In person and
the lower degrees offer them vicariously
to their supcriors. All the Japanese
would, somehow or other, congratulate
their monarch on having added another
year to his age.
