Coffee IS such a secret worker that

The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was Tie Worm

use Postum regularly In its place.
The wife says: We found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble. and We would have
gladly paid a hundred times the
amount Of the doctors charge when
we found how wise his Judgment was.
THE use Of Postum Instead Of COT

it has made my husband a strong

WHAT THE HATBAND TELLS.
Nothing in the city-ln College Town
Your Fraternity or Sport.

The striped hatband for straw hats
is more in evidence this year than it
was last, so much so that men folks
report that you can't get a plain
black hatband of the adjustable sort
if you want it. In college towns the
hatband has a meaning that is all its
own. 1t may show what is the wear
er's particular form of athletic sport
or what is his society. Greek letter
or otherwise. In the city it doesn't
mean so much. for the odd colors
worn by some Of the college men may
happen to take nOn-cOllegians fancy.
With the result that he wears some
thing that ordinarily would indicate
his fraternity or his athletic team.
In some ways the hatband in COL
lege towns has added a complication
TO wearing apparel. The average
person couldn't tell from the shape
or color of the varsity letter worn
by the athlete what team he was on,
and now he cannot tell about the
haIband either. At Harvard, for in
stance, the perpendicular stripes on
the band may mean track, crew, foot
bali or baseball, according TO whether
they are crimson and white, crimson
and black, or depending on the way
they are arranged
The national fraternities have hat
bands done in their colors, some of
which make rather gaudy decora-
tons. They look rather better on
banners than on hatbands. but in a
college town almost anything goes
