Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof
fee even after they know It is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it 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 I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin Of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
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 80
freely and with such relish asked for
o taste.
"That started me on Postum and
now drink 1t 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 It
was coffee. told her 1t was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
1.-THE next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee.
So I told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful 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

At night, when the lights are glisten-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as itTcan be applied

Disappointed Youngster Disseminated

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of Shetland pony,
the property of horse dealer who
was friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to 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 acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first

Ralph hesitated when he reached his,
