had by her first husband handsome

father fell in love, and who became
his second wife. Thus my father be-
came my son-in-law and my step
daughter became my mother. since she
had married my father. Soon after
ward my wife gave birth to son, who
became my fathers step-brother and at
the same time my uncle, since he was
my stepmother's brother. But that was
not all, for in due time my fathers
wife also gave birth to a boy, who
was my brother and also my step-son,
since he was the son of my daughter.
My wife was also my grandmother,
for she was the mother of my mother.
and thus was my wife's husband and
at the same time her grandson. Final

CAN DRINK TROUBLE
That's One Way to Get It.


Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if they're not afraid to leave it
to a test as in the case Of a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
any one who has ever had bad sick
headache knows what suffered. Some
times three days in the week I would
have to remain in bed, at other times
l couldn't lie down the pain would be
SO great Ny life was torture, and
if 1 went away from home for a day
/ always came back more dead than
alive.
lone day I was telling q woman my
troubles and she told me she knew that
it was probably coffee caused it. She
said she had been cured by stopping
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
and urged me to try this food drink.
That's how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it, for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all Of
my old troubles. All l did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
"Our house was like a drug store,
for my husband bought everything he
heard of to help me without doing any
good, but when l began on the Postum
my headaches ceased and the other
troubles quickly disappeared. | have
a friend who had an experience just
Ike mine and Postum cared her just
as ii did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
improved and am much stronger than
before 1 now enjoy delicious Postum
more than l ever did coffee" Name
