SALLOW FACES.
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that
coffee so .disturbs digestion that it

A ten days trial of Postum Food
Coffee has proven a means, in thou
sands of cases, of clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her ex-
%perience:
"All of us--father, mother, sister
and Orother-had used tea and cof-
fee for many years until finally we
all had stomach troubles more or
less.
"We we're all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all of us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
1--WE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one
day we ran out of coffee and went to
borrow some from a neighbor. She
gave us some Postum and told us to
try that.
although we started to make it
we all felt sure we would be sick if
we missed our strong coffee, but we
we're forced to try Postum and were
surprised TO find it delicious.

|capital of the province

American west coast. 1t is
Mortified seaport and has a
)2tion of about one hundred and

1t is connected by rail with San

formed San Francisco.
There are two sections of Valpar-
also, one devoted to commercial &C
iivity and the other to domestic life,
hat part of the city fronting the
water, on which immense ware
houses and spacious docks and quays
are built, having been in the early
lays of Valparaiso the centre of its
thrift. AS Valparaiso began to grow
there was a gradual movement back
rom the shore front, until to-day the
slopes leading to the heights are oc-
supied by magnificent residences, the
homes of the big merchants of the
city, all built to endure, and forming
one of the show sights of the Chilean
city.
OF course, the streets in the old
quarter are crooked and narrow, but
he enterprise which struck the city
three decades ago is seen in the regu-
