A young woman out in la. found a

ion was blotchy and yellow After
meals l often suffered sharp pains and
would have to lie down. My mother
often told me it was the coffee I drank
at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd
have a severe headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
81 began to use Postum as soon as I
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
1 have no more trouble. Indigestion is
thing of the past, and my complex

my grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
'She finally was induced to try
Postum which she has used for over a
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to do
for years. She says she owes her

1888 miles for Waterloo, 1887 for OF
tumwa, 1912 for Jacksonville and

Burlington has over thousand miles
less to travel than any of the cities
named and several hundred miles
less than the other teams. This is to
be accounted for by the central loca-
ton of Burlington
Burlington plays three Sundays at
Waterloo, two at Keokuk, two at

Justice should secure a good photo
graph of the man in citizens clothes
and give it prominent place in the
department Of curios of the state, for
he has certainly won sufficient dis
tinction to entitle him to such place.
From an economical point OF view
the schedule maker should have paid
the association instead of the asso-
citation paying him for the effort, for
