Glow of Health Speaks for Postum.

1t requires no scientific training to
discover whether coffee disagrees or
not.
Simply stop 1t for a time and use
Postum in place of it, then note the
beneficial effects. The truth will appear.

Il was then an inveterate coffee
drinker, but it was long before could
be persuaded that it was coffee that
hurt me. Finally decided to leave 1t
off few days and find out the truth.
1.-THE first morning left off coffee

Of coffee (The headache was caused
by the reaction of the coffee drug
caffeine.)
Having heard of Postum through

and tried 1t. / did not like 1t at first
but after learned how to make 1t
right, according to directions on pkg,

anything.

it is possible. This was very strongly brought out
not long ago in asylum near Chicago. There
was a patient there who had the idea that he
was King Edward. The king was all right in
every other way, but his idea on this point was
strong within him that it gave his normal
part very little room TO move about From
morning until night he would talk various
matters of state with his cabinet ministers, who

CHRISTMAS CHEER
As Ever 1t Calls on the Housewife for Sweets Pies.
and All the Rest of the Good Things
of the Holidays.

Spread over buttered tins and cut in
squares.
An excellent imitation of one of the
newest of store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
such high favor. To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter, and,
after sailing it slightly, shape it into
the forms desired Some of these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain;
others may be covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity of the amateur candymaker
may suggest. In any form, however,
they are quite as delicious as the can
dies that are sold in stores.
A fruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal to the housewife at
Christmas time is made by chopping a
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls of
dates, half cupful of figs, and half a
cupful of Maraschino cherries that
have been drained free from liquor.
When chopped, and they shoIld not
be chopped too fine, mold into the
shapes desired, and dip each piece into
syrup made by boiling half pound
of sugar with half a pint of water until
it will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple, and dates, figs or
any kind of nuts may be coated in the
s"ne manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty an ex-
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with cupful and half
of sweet milk and half a tablespoon
full of butter for about ten minutes. At
the expiration of this time beat with
spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick. 1t may then be
spread in buttered tins to cool, or, for
the sake of variety, the candy may be
divided into three equal portions, one
part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
IAndied cherries.
Sailed nuts are now so great
favorite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them.
AS ordinarily prepared, however, the
sailing of nuts is quite serious task,
but if the cook desires to save time in
cooking them she may attain the same
result more easily by dropping them
into a kettle of deep fat-lard by
preference-and letting them remain
from 10 to Is minutes. When done,
they must be drained thoroughly be-
fore being sailed to taste, and they
will be found to be just as palatable
as the nuts that have been prepared
by the far more laborious process.
If you are in search of novelty, in
stead of sailing all the nuts for the
Christmas dinner, try the experiment
of "brandying" some of them. To do
this, soak the nuts for about sc hours
in brandy-French brandy, peach
brandy or applejack will do-tien
cover them with a Thin fondant, or
merely roll them in powdered sugar
Ths result will be hailed with delight

Conscience.

A man who does not use his con-
science often has terrible paroxysms
of it; but man who uses it all the
time never comes into what is called
q state of conscience. 1t comes on
him as dew on flowers, and falls on
him gently as rain on the ground. He
is full of conscience, but it is not con-
centrated at any single point. 1t is
distributed through the brain, the
nerves, the muscles and the skin. 1t
is in every part of him. 1t Dervades
his life. 1t does not, therefore, rise
up into a freshet.-Henry Ward
