From the home of the famous 'Keyh'

down South, comes an enthusiastic let,
ter about Postum.
Il was in very delicate health, suf,
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that l could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind Of cot
fee, which was like poison to me, pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
d could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that could not get
my own consent to give it up for some
time, and continued to suffer, till my
father one day brought home a pack
age of Postum Food Coffee.
Il had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it n fair trial. 1t proved to have
a rich favor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream great
1y improves it.
MY health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old coffee
was removed and the Postum Coffee
had time 10 make its influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re-
Iieved and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always
came to soothe and strengthen me
after had drunk Postum-in a very
short time I began to sleep better than
j had for years before. l have now
used Postum Coffee for several years
and like it better and find it more
beneficial than when | first began. 1t

When Jacob Riis was a boy he went
to Copenhagen to serve his apprentice
ship with a builder. On the third day
after he reached the capital he visited
an art exhibition in the palace of Char

spoke to him and offered to show him
where to go. SO they went up the
stairs together, carrying on an ANNA

The gentlemans part Of it was con-
fined mostly to questions, which l was
in no way loath to answer. told him
about my plans, and he listened with a
curious little smile, and nodded in a
very pleasant, sympathetic way, which
1 liked to see. 1 told him so, and that
liked the people Of Copenhagen we'll;
they seemed so kind to stranger.
Then. he put his hand on my arm, and
patted it in friendly manner that
was altogether nice. So we arrived to-
gether at the door where the red lackey
stood.
The man bowed very deep as we en-
tered, and I bowed back, and told my
friend that there was an example Of
Copenhagen courtesy; for l had never
seen the man before. At this he laugh

Before l could shake hands with him
he was gone; and presently my broth
