CLEVER WIFE.
KNEW HOW TO KEEP PEACE IN FAMILY,

II is quite significant, the number of persons
who get well OF alarming heart trouble when
they let up coffee and use Postum as the
beverage at meals
There is nothing surprising about it. however
because the harmful alkaloid in cofYee-cafYeine-
is not present In Postum. which is made Of
clean hard wheat.
Two years ago l was having much trouble
with my heart writes lady in Washington
that at times l felt quite alarmed. My hus-
band took me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
The doctor said he could find no organic
trouble but said my heart irritable from
some food l had been accustomed 10 eat, and
asked me to try and remember what disagreed
with me.
II remembered that coffee always soured on
my stomach and caused me trouble from palpita-
ton of the heart SO stopped coffee and be
gan TO use Postum. l have had further
trouble since.
"A neighbor OF ours, old man, was so irri-
table from drinking coffee that his wife wanted
him to drink Postum. This made him very angry.
but his wife secured some Postum and made il
carefully according to directions.
He drank the Postum and did not know The
difference and is still using 1t his lasting
benefit He tells his wife that the coffee is bet
ter than il used To be. she smiles with him

to any authority to define the Presi-
dents attitude, and | am at a loss to I'M
derstand how my remarks could have been
otherwise interpreted.

OF the letter to tho President which elicit
ed the response from Mr.. Loeb, but it's
substance and purport was as follows:
