headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
Naturally ! have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has been
left of and Postum used.
Il observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. 1t
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry 1t up,
and where tea causes nervousness.
Il find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most

A Georgia congressman gleefully
tells of an experience during his last

The next important step after the
excavation work is the erection OF

other, nearly one and half miles. This
wall will rise four feet above the sur

TWO HANDSOME EDITIONS.

The Christmas edition of the Deseret
Evening News, out Saturday, thor
oughly maintained the high standard of
excellence set by that paper in previ-
Gus editions of similar character. A
glance through the 1907 edition dis
closes the retention of all the desirable
features of earlier efforts, and the ad-
ditiOn of many that are most commen-
dable. The Christmas News, with it's
ninety-siX pages of interesting infor-
nation, its timely illustrations and it's
liberal advertising patronage, is a
splendid example Of well directed news
paper enterprise.
Another entirely commenda6le
Christmas edition was that gotten out
by Goodwin's Weekly, that made its
appearance on Friday last. Goodwin's
Outdid this year all of it's work of the
past. From beginning to end of its
fifty-siX pages it is altogether worth
while, The Chilberg title page and the
Simpler Sunset on Great Salt Lake
would alone justify high praise of the
edition, and there are so many other
excellent features that mention of all
of them is impossible.
The Herald extends congratulations
to both Of its contemporaries, and
hopes both viii continue to enjoy the
prosperity that is theirs.
