HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks Of Postum.

We usually consider our best
friends those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
Crl observe that it is one of the
meGnest of all enemies, for It stabs
one while protesting friendship.
Coffee contains poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs Of
the body If its use is persisted in.
II had heart palpitation and ner-
vousness for four years, and the doc
tor told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave 1t off,
but thought I could not" writes a
Wis lady.
"On the advice of a friend I tried
Postum Food Coffee, and it 80 salts
fed me I did not care for coffee after
few days trial Of Postum.
"As weeks went by and continued
to use Postum my weight increased
from SO to 118 pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. / have used 1t year
now and am stronger than ever was.
/ can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitation, and am cured Of
nervousness.
"My children are very fond of Pos
tum. and 1t agrees with them. My
sister liked it when she drank 1t at
my house. but not when she made It
at her own home. Now she has
learned to make It right, bell It ac-
cording to directions, and has become
very fond OF 1t. You may use my
name If you wish, as I am not
ashamed of praising my best friend

most unhappy and most disagreeable

tians. One of the first things true
religion does for people is to make It
possible for people to live with them.
It may be probable that fault-hnding

I am sure God has special crown

True happiness is not the growth OF
