WHAT'S THE USE?
To Pour in Coffee When Il Acts a. q
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at a time but no one can go
without sleep. For long time | have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now l sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
orous.' says Calf. woman.
DO you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then l have crank coffee and
both times l passed a sleepless night,
and SO l am doubly convinced coffee
moved it
My brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day, He
was troubled with sour stomach and l
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief
Finally he tried a cup OF Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands

proved. A ten days trial works won

But there is limit to everything.
even to the strength of steel. The
strongest substance on earth breaks
sometimes, as we learned a few weeks
ago when the Quebec Bridge col
lapsed. Before tina we did not know
such thing could happen. because
no bridge had ever been built like It
and steel had never been put to sucn
a tension. So it is with Marconi's
system. Its limit must be reached.
Il see the cable company's stocks
are falling and owners of stock are
growing excited. but there is abso-
iutely no occasion for excitement
Wireless telegraphy is something
more than plaything, of course, but
IL never will be a serious competitor
