Dorothy and the Stork.


When little Dorothy Walworth was
introduced to her baby brother in the
First Methodist Episcopal Parsonage
In Yonkers, N. Y, she manifested in
tense interest, but was not astonished.
II knew he was coming" she ex-
claimed; II knew it."
Pressed for an explanation, the five
year-old said: II was down to the
Bronx ZOO the other day and saw
the stork in his cage. I recognized
him by the black stripes on his wings
that papa said were there. Well, when
the stork was standing alone on one
leg, went close to him and whispered
in his ear that l wanted him to bring
me baby brother or sister. He didn't
say anything, but knew he would do
it, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye"

A BANKERS NERVE
Broken by Coffee and Restored Wy
Postum.

A banker needs perfect control of
the ner,es, and a clear, quick, accu-
rate brain. A prominent banker OF
Chattanooga tells how he keeps him
self in condition.:
up to II years of age I was not
allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as
got out in the world I began to use
1t and grew very fond of it. For some
years I noticed no bad effects from it's
use, but in time it began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my men,
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew so bad at last
that had to give up coffee altogether.
my attention having been drawn to
Postum, I began its use on leaving off
the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to
testify to it's value. I find it delicious
beverage; like it just as we'll as 1 did
coffee, and during the years that
have used Postum I have been free
from the distressing symptoms that &C.
companied the use of coffee. The nerv.
BUSINESS has entirely disappeared, and
am as steady of hand as boy of

old. I owe all this to Postum"
