"DoN'T USE BIG WORDS"
Amelia Bingham Gives Advice to Those
Not Making Themselves Plain.

Don't use big words" is the advice
of Amelia Bingham, the well-known
actress-manag who is to be at the
Odeon this evening in The Lilac
Room"
I'm promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tations," says Miss Bingham, land in
articulating your superficial sentiment
talities and amicable philosophical or
psychological observations, beware OF
platitudinous ponderosity. Let your
conversational communications pos
sess clarified conciseness, IL compact
ed comprehensbleness, a coalescent
consistency and concatenated cogen-
cy. Eschew all conglomerati tons OF
fatulent garrulity, jejune babblement
and asinine affectations. Let your ex-
temporaneous descantings and unpre-
meditated expatiations have intelligi-
bility and veracious vivacity without
rhodomontade or thra sonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro-
fundity, pompus prolixity, psittaceous
vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and
pestiferous profanity, obscurant or
apparent In other words, talk plain
ly, briefly naturally, sensibly, purely
and truthfully; keep from slang; don't
put on airs; say what you mean: mean
what you say, and don't use big

Trouble, But He Had an Object.

Mo. man was so much benefited by
changing from coffee to Postum, that-he
was willing to ride about ~ miles to
get it, His daughter writes:
My mother, father and myself have
been drinking Postum for two years
and have all been greatly benefited by
it's use.
Before we dropped coffee and began
to use Postum, mother was poorly
nourished and only weighed 95 lbs.
After she used it a few weeks she be-
getting stronger and better until now
she weighs about $50 lbs, and we all
believe it is due to leaving off coffee
and drinking Postum Food Coffee, be-
cause she has taken no medicine of any
kind. While she drank coffee she was
very nervous but since using Postum
she has had no such trouble.
Father was troubled with indiges-
ton, when he drank coffee, but Postum
has changed all that. He says he likes
the taste of it much better than cof-
fee. When l happen to be visiting and
drink coffee I am usually sick few
hours, everything sours on my stom-
ach and get very nervous.
1--WE find there's big difference in
the way Postum is prepared. 1t should
be boiled properly according to direc-
tions-then it's flavor is fine.

A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
~ Your Stomach is Lacking in Digest
i've Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its ENTHUSIASTICALLY
When II Costs Nothing to Try?

When 1t Costs Nothing to Try?
Not with drugs, but with REIN
forcement of digestive agents. such as
are naturally at work in the stomach?
Scientific analysis shows that diges-
ton requires pepsin, heterogeneous fer
ments, and the secretion of hydrochlor-
ic acid. When your food fails to d.
gest, 1t is proof positive that some OF
these agents are lacking in your d.
gestive apparatus.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements nee
essary to digestion and when placed at
work in the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs
need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges-
tive organs back to their normal condi-
ton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain nothing but natural digestives
