DOCTOR KNEW.


The doctor who has tried Postum
knows that Il Is an easy. certain, and
pleasant way out OF the coffee habit
and all of the ails following and he
prescribes IL for his patients as did
a physician OF ProsDertown. n. J.
One of his patients says:
During the summer Just past I
suffered terribly with a heavy feel
ing at the pit OF my stomach and
dizzy feelings In my head and then a
blindness would come over my eyes
so l would have to sit down. |
would get so nervous ! could hardly
control my feelings.
FINALLY / spoke 10 our family
physician about IL and he asked II
drank much coffee and mother told
him that did. lie told me to inn
mediately stop drinking coffee and
drink Postum in its place as he and
his family had used Postum and
found II n powerful rebuilder and
delicious food drink.
II hesltated for a time, disliking
the idea of having to give up my
coffee but finally got package
and found II to be all the doctor
said.
'slnce drinking Postum in place
of coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone. my bowels
are regular and am again well
and strong. That is a short state
ment of what Postum has done for

BANKERS MEET.

TeXarkana, March12. -Indica- tions are that the gathering of bankers of this portion of the state here today will be the lar gest of all the meetings thus far held by the various groups of the Arkansas Bankers Association.
 Almost every bank in the coun- ties of Miller, Columbia, Little River, Hampstead, Nevada, 'Se- vier, Howard, Pike and Clark is represented by a delegate and some of the institutions have more than one representative here.
 Charles C. Staiti is chairman of group six which comprises the above named counties. He is an ardent advocate of a banking law for the state and it is prob able that resolutions will be a. dOpted in line with recOmmenda- tlOnd for the enactment of an adequate state banking law. 1t is quite probable that the postal savings bank will be condemned by the bankersA
