memory to keep track OF his own
affairs.
Many advertisers whose own
affairs naturally seem to them
to be the most important things
on earth expect that a l;.tle ad-
vertisins row and then will so
strongly impress the public that
results will be large and con-
tinuous. A moments reflection
shows that such is not and cam
not be the case. Other peoples
mi n d S are full OF their own
affairs.
In order to get the continu-
Gus custom of a considerable
number of people advertising
must be vigorous and persistent.
You can't tell your story too
often, and the time will never
come when you can afford to
stop.
Years ago retail merchants
used to advertise once or twice
a week; now they find every
day, morning and evening, is
none too often. It's the same
way with magazine advertising.
Once a month is good, but every
week is better.
THE SATURDAY EVENING Posi-

all the desirable magazine fea-
lures. 1t reaches 700. 900 homes

What the Baby Needed.

81 suffered from nervousness anc
headache until one day about a year
ago it suddenly occurred to me what
a great coffee drinker I was and ]
thought may be this might have some
thing to do with my trouble, SO i
shifted to tea for awhile but was not
better, IL anything worse.
AT that time / had a baby four
months old that we had to feed on
the bottle, until an old lady friend TOLD
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months g I commenced using Pos
tum, leaving of the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared
but since then I have been giving
plenty of nurse for my baby and have
q large, healthy child now.
Il have no desire to drink anything
but Postum and know it has benefited
my children, and ! hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
tor themselves what q really wonder
full food drink it is" Name given by
Postum CO., Battle Greek, Mich.
Both tea and coffee contain Quanti-
ties Of a poisonous drug called Caffeine
that directly affects the heart, kidneys,
stomach and nerves. Postum is made
from cereals only scientifically blend
ed to get the coffee flavor. Ten days
trial of Postum in place Of tea or coffee
will show q health secret worth more
than = gold mine. There's q reason.

The Wise Witness.

The crosS-examiner had kept the
witness on the stand for some time,
and the witness naturally was getting
weary.
eff you would only answer my Ques-
tons properly" said the cross-exam-
liner, we would have no trouble. II
1 could only get you to understand
that all | want to know is what you
know, we"
at would take you a life time to &C,
quire that" interrupted the witness.
What l mean is that l merely want
to learn what you know about this af-
fair" the lawyer said, frowning. u
don't care anything about your alb
stract knowledge of law or your infor-
nation in regard to t%heosophy, but
what you know about this case"
"Oh, that isn't what you want"
said the witness in an off-hand way.
I've been trying to give you that for
some time, and"
The lawyer got in an objection an6
the witness had to stop.
IF I don't want to know what you
know about this particular case and
nothing else," inquired the lawyer
later, what do you think l want to
know"
That seemed SO easy that the wit
ness laughed as he said:
at isn't what l know that you want
to know; it's what you think | know
that you're after, and you are trying
to make me know or prove me a liar
Then it was that every n in the
court room knew that he had been on
the witness stand before.
