tice of a breathing exercise will not
only do this, but will give poise and
self-confidence.
The movements of respiration stand
in a double relation to the nervous
system, being required to introduce
oxygen into the blood, which takes up
the oxygen, and freeing itself of the
carbonic acid it contains, the latter
thus acts as a powerful stimulus to
the lung nerves.
One should remember to avoid col
lar-bone breathing, to cultivate the
raised and active chest, and to gain
control of the diaphragm in order to
have complete mastery of breathing.
1t is not necessary to take a long,

But knowledge is not the only thing
required. 1t is its application that
counts. and this means steadfast de-

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of us-
ing Postum in place OF coffee If one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and nay physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum
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 cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is SO delicious. 1t 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.
ITO make a 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 Inn
provement in brain and nerve power"
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. There's a Reason"
