PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it, try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
,upply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called 1.-The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" 1t acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out of
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
iong-standing cases of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try it.

MORE BOXES OF GOLD
And Many Greenbacks.

325 boxes of Gold and Greenbacks
will be sent to persons who write the
most interesting and truthful letters
of experience on the following topics:
/. How have you been affected by
coffee drinking and by changing from
coffee to Postum.
2 Give name and account of one or
more coffee drinkers who have been
hurt by it and have been induced ID
quit and use Postum.
g. Do you know any one who has
been driven away from Postum be-.
cause it came to the table weak and
characterless at the first trial?
f. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make it
clear, black, and with snappy, rich
taste?
5. Have you ever found a better
way to make it than to use four heap
ing teaspoonfuls to the pint of water,
let stand on stove until real boiling
begins, and beginning at that time
when actual boiling starts, boil full 10
minutes more to extract the flavor and
food value. CA piece of butter the size
of pea will prevent boiling overD
This contest is confined to those who
have used Postum prior to the date
of this advertisement.
Be honest and truthful, don't write
poetry or fanciful letters, just plain,
truthful statements.
Contest will close June LIST, 1907, and
no letters received after that date will
be admitted. Examinations of letters
will be made by three judges, not
members of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd Their decisions will be fair and
final, and a neat little box containing
a $40 gold piece sent to each of the
five writer's of the most interesting let
tiers, box containing S. gold piece
to each of the 20 next best, 81 green
back to each of the 100 next best, and
a 81 greenback to each of the 200 next
best, making cash prizes distributed
to 1925 persons.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company, as an
evidence of such friendship, while the
money will reach many modest writer's
whose plain and sensible letters con-
tain the facts desired, although the
sender may have but small faith in
winning at the time of writing.
Talk this subject over with your
friends and see how many among you
can win prizes. 1t is a good, honest
competition and in the best kind of a
cause, and costs the competitors abso-
luteiy nothing.

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.
