CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured a 20 Years Trouble Without
Any Medicine.

Any Medicine.
A wise Indiana physician cured 20
years stomach disease without any
medicine as his patient tells:
~ had stomach trouble for 20 years,
tried allopathic medicines, patent
medicines and all the simple remedies
suggested by my friends but grew
worse all the time.
FINALLY a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part Of
the state told nae medicine would do
me no good, only irritating my stom-
ach and making it worse-that must
look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
81 cried out in alarm, Quit drinking
coffee!' why, What will I drink?'
Try Postum said the doctor, I
drink it and you will like it when it is
made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious and has none
of the bad effects coffee has"
well, that was two years ago, and
| am still drinking Postum. My stom-
ach is right again and | know Doctor
hit the nail on the head when he de-
cided coffee was the cause of my
trouble. I only wish I had quit it
years ago and drank Postum in it's
place" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Never too late to mend. Ten days
trial of Postum in place of coffee
works wonders. There's reason.

book, THE Road to Wellville."

"Old Home Week. which has be-

according to Everybody's Magazine.

a Friendly Talk on How 1t May Be
Attained

AltdIftC0s
John, go down to the basement and
shut off that furnace; this house is
like an oven
Down John goes to the cellar, closes
all the drafts and returns to Mary's
side to enjoy his evenings rest.
1t is a bitter cold night outside and
John, in his anxiety to keep the house
at comfortable temperature, had
heaped up the furnace with good hard
coal, opened up the drafts and let
her rum. The result was as Mary
said, the house soon was as hot as an
oven, and John had to take another
trip to the basement to close the
drafts he had an hour previously
opened.
Time passed quietly and pleasantly
in this happy home and John and
Mary sat reading, occasionally chat
ting and thoroughly enjoying their
comfortable evening together.

remarked, "and I believe the Their

keep the furnace going pretty strong"
''You had better attend to it now"
said Mary, for | begin to feel the
cold creeping down my back"
Down to the cellar again goes John
and opens up the drafts which but
short time before he had closed.
John was naturally a good-natured
fellow, but when he returned to his
coy chair he muttered, II wish | had
a machine to regulate that furnace"
We'll" said Mary, why don't you
buy one? When l was at Aunt Sarahs
in Minneapolis last year she had what
they called a Thermostat in their sit
ting room, and that opened and shut
the drafts to the furnace so that the
house was always at a uniform tenn
perature."
why, how could it do that?" said
John.
ooh, simple enough" said Mary.
''It worked by contraction and expan-
sion of metal caused by the change
in the temperature of the room. AS
the metal in the Thermostat contracts
or expands it comes in contact with
a metal point which is connected with
an open circuit battery and a spring
motor which is connected by chains
running over pulleys to the furnace,
so that when either circuit is closed
the motor is set IN motion and the
drafts are opened or closed as may be
directed by the temperature of the
house"
THAT is certainly wonderful said
John, 'but it will keep the house too
hot for some people and too cold for
others. Different families like differ
ent temperatures"
THAT is so,' answered Mary, ''but
you can set it to any degree of heat you
wish between 60 and 80 and it will al

said John, land I will look into the
matter further. If it will do what you
say | shall certainly have one. Will

certainly; hot water or steam
plants and all kinds of stoves can be
fitted with this apparatus, anything
that has a front and back draft"
Where did you say she got it,"
asked John.
II didn't say" said Mary, "but they
are made in Minneapolis by the Elec-
trio Heat Regulator Co"
We'll, I'll write tomorrow for one"
said John.
Il know you will never regret it,
