Dear Mr.. Pritchard:
Noticing Postum Food Coffee adver-
tised each week in your reliable pa
per. I concluded to try it, and feeling
it a duty towards those who may have
suffered as l have from Indigestion,
desire to state what wonderful bene-
fit 1 have received from Postum al
though using only a short time, and
not do. l alone realize and appreciate
it's good effects, but friends remark,
How much l have improved and how
we'll I look, and I tell the facts about
Postum every time, for since using
it l have not had one attack of indi-
gestion. 1t is invigorating, healthful;
does not affect the nerves as ordinary
coffee, and If properly made, a most
delicious drink. Although / have not
had much faith in general advertls-
ing, yet, finding Postum has done so
much better for me than l expected I
am more inclined to prove all things,
hold fast that which is good" I am
so thankful for good health that I
want it known what a blessing Pos
tum has been to me, You may use
these few lines as an ad. If you so de-
sire and my name also.
Very truly yours,
Anna S. Reeves.

information concerning the defenses
of France. Ullmo was arrested here
on Oct. 5 on the charge of being a
