Food Coffee; she was troubled for
years with asthma. She said it was
no cross to quit coffee when she
found she could have as delicious an

Another lady who had been trou-

found immediate relief on ceasing cof-
fee and beginning Postum twice
day. She was wholly cured Still
another friend told me that Postum
Food Coffee was Godsend to her, her

after leaving off coffee and taking on
Postum.

policy of telling the plain Truth

sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.

Partial Fruit Crop Expected.

Denver.-A Florence dispatch says:
The warm sun of the last two days
has proved that the freezing weather
for nine nights has not killed all the
fruit in the county, as had been feared
There will be many cherries, apples
and small berries. This is said to be
due to the buds being undeveloped
when the frost came. This is true
not only in Florence but in all parts
of the county and it is not possible to
estimate how much fruit will be pro-
duced this year. In order to recoup
their losses the fruit growers are busy
breaking ground and will conduct gen
eral truck gardens this year.
