constipation. A lady, for many years
State President of the w. G. T. u,
told me she had been greatly benefited
by quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee; she was troubled for
years with asthma. She said 1t was
no cross to quit coffee when she
found she could have as delicious an
article as Postum.
Another lady who had been trou-
bled with chronic dyspepsia for years,
found immediate relief on ceasing cof-
fee and beginning Postum twice a
day She was wholly cured. Still
another friend told me that Postum
Food Coffee was Godsend to her, her
heart trouble having been relieved

Postum.

WHAT Mr.. KALTENBRUNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA.

Writing from Regina, Saskatche'
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A. kalten-
Drummer writes:-
"Some years ago ! took up home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek Is a
low, level and heavy land. We put
in 70 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat
That means the BEST wheat that can
be raised on the earth. We did not
sell any wheat yet, as we intend to
keep one part for our own seed, and
sell the other part to people who want
first class seed, for there is no doubt
IL you SOW good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
$50 acres. 80 acres has been fall
plowing, which yielded 80 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 30 bushels to the acre. These
cats are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got So cents per
bushel clear All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch it.
notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.

BUYING PAINT eLINpLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and SO 1t is, the way
they do 1t. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge, Building, New York City, will
send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

That languid, lifeless feeling that comes with spring and carry summer, can be quickly changed to a feeling of buoyancy and energy by the judicious use of Dr Shoop's Restorative.
 The Restorative is genuine tonic to tired rundown nerves, and but a few doses is needed to satisfy the user that Dr Shoop's Restorative is actually reaching that tired spot. The indoor life of winter nearly always leads to sluggish bowels, and to sluggish circu- lation in general. The customary lack of exercise and outdoor air ties up the liver, stagnates the kidneys, and oft times weakens the Hearts action. Use Dr Shops Restorative few weeks and all will be changed. A few days test will tell you that you are using the right remedy. You will easily and surely note the change from day to day. Sold by all dealers.

Reports in the tobacco trade indicate that dealers throughout the country are laying in stocks of presents in order to be able to meet the rising boom in tobacco tag saving. In places where thesdealers are not supplied with presents, the American Tobacco Company is redeem ing by mail, tag-savers selecting the presents they wish from free cat alogue.
