AN OLD TIMER.


A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market years ago knows from ex.
perience the necessity of using Pos.

She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market 1 was suffer.
Ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got sample and had It
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So I continued
Its use and very soon its beneficial ef-
fects convinced me of its value, for
I got well of my nervousness and dys-
pepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and 1t was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make long story short our
entir7 family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely sat

Foreign Born Men Of Fame.

OF the 100000 Canadians engaged
in business or following professional
pursuits in the United States many
hold prominent posts. Who's Who
in America" mentions 245 Canadians.
Allowing one-eighth of those born in
Great Britain but brought up in and
therefore rightly to be credited to
Canada, the number of Canadians be-
comes 276, or 2.3 for every 10000
Canadians in the United States. With
this may be compared the British rate
per 10000 of %, that of 81 for the
Dutch, that of s. for Swedes, and
that Of 8 for native Americans (black
and white), OILS for native white
Americana.

II Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
Co. at eroc<ton.

The dedication short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. L.
Douglas Shoe Co. as part of it's mann
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm In all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to 8 D. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye. especially the Offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1900 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments Of the plant were
open for inspection. the three factories
as well as the new building. and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the Industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
OF the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and GUS
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and go feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.

complete stock Of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers.

bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to

made to suit their convenience. There
will be finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an Office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed. with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph

gradual budding and blossoming OF art
the theme OF the Christ-Chiid has lent e.

ways. At times the Christ is alone or

One OF the earliest painters to present
these groups was Grotto. as is revealed
by the frcscoes that remain IN the Santa
