5ANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
zee even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it 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.
Zone day l 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 slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible TO
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish l asked for
a taste.
That started me on Postum and
now drink it 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 if II
was coffee told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
The next day she said she did mo-
see how could drink Postum. founC
she had made it like ordinary coffee
So told her how to make it righ
and gave her cupful l made, afte
boiling It fifteen minutes. She sait
she never drank any coffee that tastet
as good. and now coffee is banishe,

ties, nor Chicago theatre contagratlon to surround
the theatre goers with all possible safety from
accidental DEATH horrible of conception. Municipal
government should plan to protect life as well as
property, to the limits of architectural discovery.
Above all things school boards and teachers in
direct charge of school children should constantly
avoid and quickly remedy all evidences of danger.
Children of school age cannot be charged with re-
sponsbtes of this nature and the neglect of those
who have these matters in charge is criminal
whether there be or be not fatalities.
Consonant with this idea it is refreshing to observe
the comment of the Utah State Journal the safe
guard taken by San Francisco to provide the youths
of that great city with adequate safety The Journal
says:
San Francisco is furnishing good example of how
school buildings should be erected A tentative ap-
preparation of 100000 has been made by the board
of supervisors and the citizens of San Francisco will
be asked to vote the proposition of bonding to
that extent next Monday.
1t is designed to make the school buildings
not only hre-proof but earthquake-proof as well.
To secure this result the buildings will be erected
on the mission style, broad and low, none of them
over two stories high and every possible precaution
will be taken to avoid accident.
Another commendabe thing in this connection is
the determination of the San Francisco authorities to
secure plenty of ground to give the children breath
ing room, out in the Sushine and the air. If this is
commendabe in San Francisco where ground is
enormously high, it is all the more commendabe in
cities like Ogden where land is still comparatively
cheap The board of education of this city will be
wise, it, when they locate their new building they
see TO that there are spacious grounds for parks,
campus and playground
Nor does it that cities like Ogden with all
conditions favorable should hesitate long in a mat

The DandeIiOn Pest.

The prolific growth of the dandeon in the blue
grass yards of the many cities of Idaho is pest
well worth the industrious attention of the citizens of
the state who aspire to surround their homes with
beautiful lawns.
Very many otherwise green yards are destroyed by
these weeds Few weed pests grow faster than the
dande1on and any idea which will contribute to their
eecual destruction is worthy the effort of those who
labor to maintain pleasing lawns
The Tribune of Pocatelo has the following so1u
ton for the problem which reproduce for the con-
sideration of our readers:
A Pocatello man who is authority on caring for
lawns, states to the Tribune that there is only one
sure remedy for removing dandelions and that is
to hire small and cheap but willing boy to rid the
lawn OF the pests as soon as they appear While
this conflicts in way with Madame Grundv's recipe
for killing dandelions which is found in her budget

leaps and bounds and, Inspector Gwydr has re-
