about the size and shape of a flour
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town,
a man of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday While
preaching he bent forward and shout.
II out with great force the words Of
his text:
The righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from its
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre.
cation. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
Brethren, ! am not hurt, and
don't mind the fall much, but l dc
hate the connection"

COFFEE COMPLEXION.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. / had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine a complex
ion as one could ask for.
When | became convinced that cot.
fee was the cause OF my trouble, |
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as l made it well, ac-
cording to directions, liked it very
much, and have since that time used
II in place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more, as l was when | was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as II was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
[ e trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion IL she will
leave off coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.
