GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.

The large army of persons who have
found relief from many chronic all
ments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
1t is only a simple question OF trying
it for oneself in order to know the joy
of returning health as realized by an
Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been a coffee drinker nearly
ali my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and l was seldom
without a headache l had heard about
Postum and how beneficial it was, so
concluded to quit coffee and try it.
81 was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache My stomach has gotten
strong and l can eat without suffering
afterwards. l think my whole system
greatly benefited by Postum.
My brother also suffered from stom-
ach trouble while he drank coffee, but
now, since using Postum he feels SO
much better he would not go back to
coffee for anything"

the stupendous world-taSk of the time.
He grew. to know greatness. but never
ease. Success came to him. but never
happiness. save that which springs from
doing well a painful and a vital task.
Power was his. but not pleasure. The
burrows deepened on his brow. but his
eyes We're undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders We're bowed.
but his steel thewS never faltered AS he
bore for burden the destinies of his
people. His great and tender heart
Shrank from giving pain: and the task
allotted him was to pour out like water
the 1ife-blood of the young men. and to
feel in his every fiber the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened but never dis
mayed him. AS the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing his
duty in the present, even facing the flu
ture with fearless front. high of heart.
and dauntless Of soul. Unbroken by ha-
tired, mistaken by scorn. he worked and
suffered for the people. Triumph was his
at the last: and barely had he tasted it
before murder found him. and the kind

ever.

the two greatest of our public men,

qualities which rendered each able to
render service to his nation and to all
mankind such as no other man Of his
generation could or did render. Each had
lofty ideals. but each in striving to attain
these lofty ideals was guided by the
soundest common sense. Each possessed
; infiexible courage in adversely, and a soul
wholly unspoiled by prosperity. Each
possessed all the gentler virtues common

Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes

flesh. making me Cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could. but / got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
1 could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem

OF recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-

and itching flesh and brought me the
