Early that evening
He tried to read his paper. but in
stead he found himself repeating from
memory the line of talk that his wife
would hand him about keeping dinner
waiting upon poking around down
own after he left the office, and how
houghtless he was of her wishes and
L lot more like that
He had his explanation all fran ID

At night, when the lights are glisten-

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
them harm, is a puzzler. But 1t Is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years. but kept drinking
coffee.
One day l asked her why she did
not give up coffee as cousin Of mine
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally. one day. she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish l asked for
a taste.
That started me on Postum and
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend OF mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II 1t
was coffee. told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home. but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made II like ordinary coffee
So l told her how to make it right
and gave her cupful l made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good. and now coffee is banished
from both our homes" Name given

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Younssser Disseminated
in His Prayer.

For several weeks. little Ralph had
enjoyed the use OF Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was friend Of the family. But much
TO Ralph's sorrow. there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry. was a
little girl OF about his own mature
age Of five. Ever since his acauaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him i'll his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale OF the pony.
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then. after
moments thought, he continued:
Please. God, bless the pony Just
the same; but. God. don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony"

The Iowa Homestead.

Good farming based on sound
principles of science and practice, was
never more important or profitable
than now. The Homestead, an agri-
cultural and live stock paper publish
ed every Thursday at Des Moines,
Iowa, is the best exponent of good
farming. The Homestead is edited by
farmers who live upon and operate
their ownt arms right here in the mid
die west; so that their teachings are
thoroughly practical. 1t has depart
ments devoted to horticultural, poul-
try, sheep, dairy, veterinary, laws
affecting farmers, current events,
house and home, Sunday school les
son, editorial comment, live farm Cos
sip, ETC., and it's contributors include
able and successful farmers and exper-
iment station experts throughout the
west. Many farmers in this vicinity
are already subscribers for the Home
stead and all should be; as whatever
adds to the practical knowledge of the
farmers increases the value of land
and enhances the prosperity of the
community. We take subscriptions
for this splendid farm paper at this
Office; and, by special arrangement
with the publisher, can give you low
subscription rate for it in connection
with The Republican.
