MINISTER'S TRIAL.
Coffee Hit Him Hard Indeed.


 A minister of the gospel writes about Postum. T was for years a suf- ferer from headaches; sometimes they were so violent that grooming in agony I would pace the floor or garden hold ing my throbbing head for relief.
 "1 tried all sorts of remedies known to the allopathic and homeopathic schools. sometimes I thought it was caused by the stomach or biliousness and again I would suspect 1t was pure ly nervousness and treated myself ac- cordingly, but nothing ever gave me permanent relief. Having to appear before the public nearly every night, 1t was sometimes almost impossible Tor me to fulfill my engagements. Eli. nally l came to suspect that the use of tea and coffee had something to do with my disorder and abruptly discon- ttnued the use of both and took POs- tum for a trial
 From that happy hour I commenced to mend; gradually I got better and better and now I do not have a head ache once in six months and all my other troubles are gone too. am now using Posutm exclusively and want no better beverage.
 T know of others who have been benefited by the use of Postum in place of coffee. A friend of mine here in Key West. a hardware merchant. suffered for years with stomach. and other troubles while he was using cof- fee. finally he quit and began using Postum and got well. He Is devoted to Postum and when worn and weary with business cares takes a cup of if piping hot and in short time fecis rest ed and nourished.
 Some I know have become preiu- diced against Postum because careless or ignorant cooks tried to make it as they would coffee and will not allow 1t boil fully fifteen minutes, but when they try 1t again. we'll boiled, 1t stays for 1t is as delicious and snappy as the mild, smooth. high grade Java Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek.

much, so far as success in business
was CONCEIVED. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well

Today it is necessary for bushes,
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see a piece of JOB print
ing crowded and the type damned
too close together, with dirty-loOking
ink and finger marks smeared over
it, on a low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
