an interesting tale:
81 was a coffee iend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away. my
strength. I Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
zone day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my norm
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. / noticed the richness of
it 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
q 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 justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. | will net try to tell it, for
only after having used it can IN be
convinced of its merits"

stroyed. There's a Reason"

is that a means be sought to prevent the holding of large farms
by persons or corporations who do not work them themselves"
the suggestions made in the letters received since the commits
sion has made it's report.
Here is a part of a letter sent directly to Theodore Roosevelt
from Kansas:
There are several reasons why the farmer doesn't get the
enjoyment out Of this life as it is enjoyed by other classes. 1t
faults, consequently the testimony of farmers who seldom if ever
get out of their own counties, can have little weight compared
to that given by those who have lived on both sides of the
question. Personally, I spent 3S years in cities and towns
and the past ten years upon this farm and I think my observa-
tin can shed a little light in answer to your question.
First, it Is well known that the higher the education, the
higher the plane of living, so my first suggestion is to improve
the rural schools. l fd that here in the western states (agri-
culturaD the same system is in use that was formed to fit
in pioneer days. AS this matter is almost wholly in the hands
of the farmers themselves, and as they have never shown by
their actions that 1t needs changing as well as everything else
that they use, they are in a measure excusable for they know
upt modern methods. Laws should be passed compelling the
farmer to adopt the advice of educators who have made the
teaching Of the young their life work"
Here is a letter from another man who lives In Kansas, not far
from the town of Garrett: apparently he is of a social nature and
feels the need of the passing compliment" He says in his letter
to the commission that he has had ten years of farm experience
though before that he lived in a town OF good size. Then he
adds: II want to say that what I miss more than anything else
is lack of compliments or someone to Jolly you up When in
business, the travelling statesmen were always full of compl-
ments and your friends and business neighbors had pleasant
things to say about your way of conducting business and keeping
store, but farmers are not lavish with praise of anybody or any
thing, and you take the average farmer, and his appearance
and the looks of his place all seem to say Il started out with
bright hopes and prospects, but crop failures and low prices
have left me a sour and discouraged citizen, but I must stick
to the farm for I have no training for any other business. No
one jolies him, but all try to make him feel better by recounting
their own troubles"
The statement OF this man with ten years experience, as most
farmers know, can hardly be held to apply to the great

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an iniamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is infamed you have a rumbfing sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when ii Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal cOndi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
