Continual headache may lead to serious trouble.
 Coffee causes headache and various ailments in many persons who do not understand the cause. They take tablets or powders that simply benumb but do not remove the cause.
 Stop coffee 10 days and use Postum instead, as the regular table beverage. Pos tum contains no drug like caffeine, found in coffee nor any other harmful in- gredient.
 POstum is made of clean, roasted wheat and a small amount of pure mOlasses, and while it tastes life cof- fee, it is a wholesome food drink. Taken with good cream and piping hot it's delicious, and There's a Reason.

BEST CONDITIONS EVER KNOWN HERE
Building Trades Are All Pushed 20
Limit, with Plenty In sight
TO Make Full Summer
Campaign,

A bigger force of skilled workmen
artisans and laborers than ever worked in
Omaha will be busy during the season just
opening. This army of builders will be en-
gagged in the erection Of structures Of per
mauence and substantialness.
This statement is on the authority of
Secretary Grgg Of the Omaha Builders
exchange and the opinion of the leading
contractors of the city.
Work already laid out is of a nature
which shows that Omaha is becoming a
city of permanence. In former years build
ings were thrown together, often with only
an eye to immediate use. Now the men
with money are putting it into structures
which shall endure during the years to
come. First cost is less considered than cost
per annum in the lifetime of a well con-
structed building.
Prices of material have advanced only
very slightly during the last year, this
being particularly noticeable in lumber.
Shortage exists in the supply of locally
manufactured brick. Six firms in Omaha
manufacture brick These are al! working
at full blast and still the fact remains that
more than two-thirds of the brick put into
Omaha buildings last year came from
Kansas.
Neither a scarcity nor an oversupply Of
