Eternal Problem,

Having a girl on your mind is what
makes the others in the Office wonder
what the boss keeps you here for any
how. but you can't get promoted so as
to marry her because you can't think
business and get ahead while thinking
about her; and you cant stop thinking
about her. so you might as well go 1t
like all get out and get her, because
1t is hell when you have them, and
It is another when you haven't.-New

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Notices. Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience Of a
Kansas City mother is case in
point:
Il was great coffee drinker from
child, and thought l could not eat
meal without it. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart,
d which was added two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born Z months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it. too. suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking 1t
from me!
IN my distress consulted a friend
Of more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk, have since
ascertained that it really dries up the
milk.
so, quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then 1 turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
Of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well Of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
IN my heart or sour stomach. Post
nm has cured them.
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank. Name given
by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

She took only few boxes, but they cured
