An interesting fact regarding the

(By Oliver W. Curtis.)

The man who wins is the m19 who does;
The man who makes things hDm and buzz;
The man who works and the man who acts,
Who builds on the basis of solid facts,
Who doesn't sit down to mope and dream,
Who humps ahead with force and steam
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret,
But gets there every time, you bet.
The man who wins is the man who bears
A smile to cover his burden of cares
Who knows that the sun VIII shine again,
That the clouds will passive need the rain;
Who buckles down to pile'of work,
And never gives up, and .4eyer will shirk
Till the task is done for toll is sweet
While the temples throb with red blood's heat.
The man who wins is the man who climbs
The ladder of life to the merry chimes
Of the bells of labor-the bells1 of toll,
And isn't afraid his skin Will spoil
If he faces the glow Of tie glafing sun,
And works in the light til his task is done;
A human engine with triple beam
And hundred and fifty pounds of steam.

Easier To Prevent

Most physicians are agreed that
the best way to combat. most ills
is by the indirect method. of stimu-
lating the body's natural powers
in fighting and destroying the
germs of disease. Consumption, for
example, is much easier to pre-
vent than 1t is to cure, and through
out the land a determined warfare
is being waged to lessen the dan
ger of infection by this insidious
disease. Coughs and colds are a
prolific source and should not be
neglected.
At the first sign of cold, steps
should be taken to check it at once,
and this can best be done with a
simple mixture of two ounces Of
Glycerine, half-ounce of Virgin
Oil of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure whisky These
can be mixed together in a large
bottle. Shake well and take a tea
spoonful every four hours. 1t is
claimed and advertised by the
Leach Chemical Co. of Cincinnati,
who prepare the Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure for dispensing
through druggists, that this mix
ture will break up cold in twenty
four hours and cure any cough
that is durable.

says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market / was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally 1 decided to
take his advice and try Postum. I
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value, for got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cot.
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and l persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. It Ger.
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
To make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected i'm
