"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT Me-

the coffee and wouldn't believe it could
do such damage.
What / needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
Il had read much about Postum, but
never thought it would fit my case un-
til one day I decided to quit coffee and
give it trial and make sure about it.
So I got a package and carefully fol-
lowed the directions.
Soon l began to get better and was
able TO eat carefully selected foods
without the aid OF repsin or other di-
gestants and it was not long before I
was really a new woman physically.
Now ] am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and I know this wonder

coffee and got the nourishment I need

Mayor Breitmeyer's recommendations
In asking for improvements in the fire
department for the coming year. The
mayor recommended two new engine
houses.
The department would have two
new houses in the north end of the
city, one an engine house for the NIL
waukee Junction manufacturing dis
trict. and the other truck company
for the residence section of the north
end. The Woodward-ave. subway now
presents an obstacle to the fire de-
partment, the steep grades firing the
horses
Another fire house is needed, the
commission believes, In Fairview, and
also one in Woodmere. The old en-
CINE house No. 5, on Alexandrine-ave.
is also so unsanitary that the depart
ment may abandon II and a new house
is required in that district.
