strong and refused to stop. saying it

three years ago when l drank it there
and liked it so well l got a package to
take home with me. My husband had
one Of his severe sick spells and the
doctor told us to deceive him if we
could with the Postum. We made it
for him and he has never known the
difference to this day. He has not had
one Of those spells since and is not
nervous like he used to be.
1--WE cured him but it was against his
own will for he was one of those stub

me- and still believes it.

I make it according to directions on the
package. My daughter who is n school
teacher can testify to the good she has
received from Postum. for she was a
great sufferer from coffee indigestion
and constipation until she cut OF
coffee and drank Postum. Now there
is n great change for the better.
"Our minister was here and had some
of our Postum and said it was delicious.

The Financier says: The striking fea-

were the large decrease in loans. which

chiefly to exports of gold to Paris and

Of the decrease in reserve requirements
caused by the reduction in deposits
Through the Withdrawals OF cash from
the banks incident 10 the exports to Paris
amounted to about 100000. the aYera ges
of the sums withdrawn were little less
than 100000. The decrease of cash shown
in the statement was, however, 81. 346 zoo
indicating that the offseting gains of
