Power in the SiIences.

Here is hint for the women who
fidget and fret and fuss Go into the
silence at certain times of the day.
One need not necessarily retire for
formal prayer. "He who is in the path
of duty needs no prayer" said a wise
Oriental But in the silence you will
find the peace and strength of prayer.
In withdrawing from the pressure of
things and getting in touch with the
great sources of power, you will find
the peace and strength of prayer. In
withdrawing from the pressure of
things and getting in touch with the
great sources of power, you will alb
sorb power. Slip away for 10 minutes,
and picture your work before your
minds eye as triumphant and COM
pleted whole. Quit your spirit, hold
ing yourself open to the divine cur
rents, feeling that you are a channel
for your measure of the central pow
er, and you will emerge sustained and
soothed by the inflow from the central
sea. You will go forth to your work
able, like the poets brook, TO make
pastime of each weary STEP" With

no surer way to fling off the shadows
of fear, to Danish the nevis and bats
of the worries and flurries.-Edwin

SISTERS TRICK
But It all Game out Right.

How q sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to o coffee fiend
is an interesting tale:
@I.was coffee fend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. I Knocked at Postum and
would have none of 1t.
"One day my sister substituted cup
Of piping hot Postum for my morning
cup Of coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. / noticed the richness
of 1t and remarked that the coffee
tasted fine, but my sister did not tell
me I was drinking Postum for fear I
might not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee
until I grew stronger, more tireless,
got a better color in my sallow cheeks
and clearness to my eyes, then she
told me Of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me In place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple
Of Postum and no words can do JUS
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. I will not try to tell 1t.
for only after having used 1t can one
be convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's
power. to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed, "There's a Reason"
