 What kind of a picture do you mean?" tte druggist asked
 One like this,' said the woman, holding up an attractive advertising print.
 T may have one or two of them left" the proprietor said, but 1 haven't many of them"
 The woman said she only wanted one, and her tone indicated that she was anxious for that one. She ex- plained that the one she had with her had been given to one of her children. Another child, she stated, was sick, his brother had.
 That's bad way to bring up your children" ventured woman customer in the store. Do you try to give a child everything he cries for just be- cause his brother is more fortunate?"
 But" said the mother of the chil- dren, you don't know. The children are twins and what one has the other wants"
 Suppose" objected the moralist, when your children get older, they fall in love with the same girl, what will they do?"

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry near ly all the time!
 Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest.
 But we get in hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are indigestion and it's accompanying miseries.
 A Phila. lady said, the other day:
 My husband and have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals.
 "We tried doctors and patent medi- cines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit.
 "Accidentlly, 8 small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surz. prising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since.
 "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, ''The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a Req son."
