MUSIC STUDENTS:
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system Of the musician
Is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset tho
nerves as to make regular and neces.
sary daily practise next to impossible.
Il practise from seven to eight hours
q day and study Harmony two bours,"
writes Mich. music student. Last
September l was so nervous I could
only practise few minutes at time,
and mother said would have to drop
my music for a year.
This was terribly discouraging as
I couldn't bear the thought of losing
q whole year Of study. Becoming con-
WINGED that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, de-
cided I would test it for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and thought I had never
tasted such delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
Of coffee, and by November felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished I am not any more nervous
than when I began.
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.

for this most valuable health bever-
age, and experience has proven its
superiority over all others" There's

When got here there was a fellow

II had little talk with Ducky
Jones, the fellow that used to work
here around the stables, and he told
me the fish bit best early in the morn
ing, just before the mist rose up off of
the bars. He said that when the mist
rose, the fish could see the boats, and
then they tobogganed for deep water,
and that made the fishing slow. But
he said that when the mist was over
the water, they bit to beat Banagher.

hands and both feet
