FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects OF special foods
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has a long list of customers
that have been helped In health by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago I had been
drinking coffee, and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
80 irritable and upset that I could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as / was selling 30 much
Postum there must be some merit in
1t and suggested that we try 1t. I
took home a package and she pre-
pared 1t according to directions. The
result was a very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared, and
today 1 am all right. l would advise
everyone afflicted In any way with
nervousness or stomach troubles, to
leave of coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee" There's a Reason" Read

Flowers Much Worn,

Flowers are more the rage than
ever, whether real or artificial. and
they are worn in punches on the
blouse or tucked in the buttonhole Of
the jacket OF course, now that Dame
Fashion has decreed that one may
wear silken flowers as well as those
created by Mother Nature, it Is not
particularly expensive to keep on
hand a stock of orchids, gardenias,
azaleas and poinsettias, and these are
the ones that are most popular. When
natural flowers can be worn they are,
of course, preferable. but the imita-
tons are now so perfect that very lit
tie difference can be noticed unless
the delicious fragrance is missed. This
is sometimes supplied by good per-
fume. Strange to say, this spring
many women are wearing autumn
leaves instead Of flowers. which really
does seem slightly out Of season.
