in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for the

A Superintendent of public schools IN
one of the southern states says:
MY mother. since her early child

had been troubled with her heart ZOE
a number of years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach
Some time ago I was making an
official visit to a distant part OF me
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. I noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the COT
fee. and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over / bought a package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased with
it. that we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely

for a short time, she felt so much bet

The above dramatic plot really had a
chapter in Topeka. Last week the
Canadian officer and the father of the
young girl were signing up the proper
papers in the federal court of this city.
Warrants had been issued by United
States Commissioner Frank Campbell
and the marshal had been sent to west
