 T don't care what they call me su long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum.
 While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration. which took me three years to rally from
 Mother coaxed me to use Postum. but thought coffee would give me strength. So things went. and when l married I found my husband and I were both coffee topers, and can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cups.
 At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it. served il with good cream, and asked my bus band how he liked the coffee.
 We each drank three cups apiece, and what satisfied feeling it left Our conversion has lasted several years and will continue as long as We live, for 1t has made us new-nerves are steady, appetites good, sleep sound and refreshing"

"My names Mrs. Margaret Bick-

into the most comfortable chair in
the Googans' studio. But l don't
think there's the least use of consult
ing you, because land knows, it's an
awful peculiar thing"
1.-The more terrible it is, the larger
we can make our BILL" encouraged
Lilly Googan The statement produced
two distinct effects-it encouraged the
client and it made her DESTROYS to
discourage any idea of large bill.
THE only complicated part is try
ing to make you understand the cir
cumstances," sighed the woman. 'T
just hate to tell about it, but 1 do be-
lieve you are the only ones who can
help me out. I've heard about you"
The Googans bowed their heads
politely.
ooh, l never can spunk up courage
to tell you," protested the client.
"You see, it isn't so much my fault
oh, it's awful, it's awful" She buried
her face in her hands and wept dis
mally.
But after their usual tactics the
girls drew out the following details.
well, there's woman l knew
years ago coming through here Tues
day, and she is going to stop over
with me for the day, and you see,
we've corresponded off and on and
kept track of each other, though
we've always hated each other like
poison Sometimes mortal enemies
hang together faithfuler than friends.
I've always been afraid to drop Mary
Ann Upper, and l guess she's felt
the same way toward me. When we
was girls even, Mary Ann always tried
to make me feel like a crawling worm,
and later she used to write such boast
full things I just couldn't help writing
her thing or two myself. It's so
easy when you start exaggeratin' to
keep going, and I've kept goin' ever
since. l never expected she'd get
back to this part of the country, but
now she's coming Tuesday of next
week, and l can never face her, and
yet I've got to. 1 didn't mean no
harm, and you girls can't begin to
understand why l told her l owned

| talk"

I'm not going to take you away out
to our place in the suburbs" chirped
Mrs. Bickford, because l want you to
see something of the city, and my
friends here and us are all going to
luncheon at one of the best places.
1 want to give you a good time, Mary
Ann, for 1 imagine yours hasn't been

Mary Ann rolled her eyes, started to
speak, and thought better of it.
ITS a nice day." she said finally.
Have you been we'll all the time,
Margaret"
Quite" said Margaret. How are
your sisters children?"
The Googans, content to be shadows
on this occasion, enjoyed studying
their client and her guest

That's sarcasm; she don't believe I've
got one," explained Mrs. Bickford, in
dignantly.
We'll show her you have!" cried
the Googans, enthusiastically.
Margaret Bickford was so nervous
and excited she couldn't sit still, and
vet she feared to move on account OF
her new finery. She held tightly the
side of the dashing motor car and
turned pale every time it wove its way

The Googan girls had in measure

She'll walk down my throat even

And then the train pulled in. The
Googans were so busily engaged in

they missed the first greeting between

American Progress.

The department of commerce and
labor has just issued publication en-
titled Statistical Record of the Prog
ress of the United States, 1S00-19O7, y
which furnishes a great deal of timely
and highly suggestive information. 1t
is shown in this work how the country
has advanced in material things, and
an especially interesting part OF the
exhibit is that which relates to the
financial progress since 1897. 1t ap-
pears that on July 1, 1907, there was
in circulation in the United States the
sum of 100000, against $685.
100000 in July, 1906, and 81, 900, 900
in 1897. In total bank deposits the
showing was s13,O0O,0O0,0 in 1907,
against $4,000, 100000 in 1897. This is
a presentation which proves how the
circulation and the bank deposits have
kept pace with the growing needs OF
business and have illustrated the gen
eral prosperity of the country, says
the Troy IN. " Times. And the
progress is likely to be accelerated by
the steps recently taken to afford
needed financial facilities.
