houses they rent at such unusual
high rents that all the employers

of the city of Charleston, in one
great charitable accord should re-

THE FIRST TASTE.

Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.
If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a -caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
'And I contracted the coffee habit
early. remembered when quite young,
the continual use Of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in
the coffee-mill as a substitute for cof-
fee.
'fBut it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard Of

gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast was so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my cores
pendence.

supper, could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak

"a friend persuaded me to try Pos
tum. My wife and / did not like it at
first, but later when boiled good and
strong it was fine. Now we would not
give I'D Postum for the best coffee
