Some misinformed parties have cir
culated the report that the Hail lnsur-
ance Company which am representing
in this County is not reliable and that
the parties insuring with me will loose
their money in the event of hailst0rm.

best people in the county have intrust-
ed their business to me In spite of
these false reports. ! represent none
bnt antitrust companies, both fire and
hail. The people composing these
companies are straightforward, honor
able, gentlemen and require the same
characteristics of their agents. quote
as follows from q letter received this
week from the treasurer OF the COM
pany:
whoever circuIates the report that
we will not pay out is not telling the
truth. In the first place they do not
know anything about it, and IN the
second place, unless we have great
many more losses than we have now
sustained, we could pay them TEN
TIMES OVER Does this lock
like a busted company to you?
The trouble with the socalled old line
companies has been, that they have
failed to take any notice of losses OF
less than five per cent, and have also
failed to make proper adjustment when
greater losses have occurred The
company which represent will give
you an absolutely fair and impartial
adjustment of any loss you sustain and
protect your crops from the moment
the applicatian is signed in my office.
Even If the company were only able e
pay eighty per cent of its losses this

will receive viii insure you better

THE DIFFERENCE.
Coffee Usually Means Sickness but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and In
this way regaining health and happi
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: I drink cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. I tried to
give up the use of coffee entirely but
found 1t hard to go from hot coffee to
a glass OF water. Then tried Pos
tum.
1T was good and the effect was SO
| pleasant sthat soon learned to love 1t
and have used 1t for several years. j
| improved Immediately after left off
coffee and took on Postum and am
now entirely cured of my indigestion
and other troubles all of which were
due to coffee am now well and con-
tented and all because changed from
coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee for Ii is
SO even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now in our family.
We use Postum and are always we'll
There's a reason and it is proved

1t is said that the reason for the
