1T WORKS
The Laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
Il was for IL years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after l entered the telegraph service.
There l got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and was soon very sick man.
l quit meat and tobacco and in fact 1
stopped eating everything which l
thought might affect me except coffee.
but still my condition grew worse, and
was all but wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and com
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and l am speaking the truth
when | say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today
am we'll and can eat anything l want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.

could digest a brick II had a cup Of
postum to go with IL.

The Ever Changing Waist Line.

Consider the mental agility it takes

headlines in the morning papers the
waist line is positively at the knees.

All in Fight Against Tuberculosis.


Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance COM
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently APP
piled for permission to erect a sana-
forum for its policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of iliegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau.
where it's policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights of Pythias. Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmeu's Cir
Gle. have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana-
toria for their tuberculous members.
