People of Washington must be polite

is to sass them back, no matter what

Judge KimbalTs theory, and his ques-

pertinent answers should be returned.
So, # is not proper to reply At home"

PRESSED HARD
COnee's Weight On Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
Injurious effects or coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their
Testimony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says;
"My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er. had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and COM
planned OF that weak all over reel
ing and sick stomach.
Some time ago ! was making an
Official visit to a distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one OF
the merchants of the place. i noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning IT..
He replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with II. that
after the meal was over bought a
package to carry home with me, and
had wife prepare some for the next
meal. The whole family were so
well pleased with IL, that we dis
continued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mother
condition, but we noticed that after
using Postum for a short time. she
felt so much better than she did
prior to its use, and had little trou-
BILE with her heart and no sick stom-
ach; that the headaches were not so
frequent. and her general condition
much improved. This continued I'M
til she was as we'll and hearty as the
rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family. but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case Of my mother. as
she was a victim of long standing.

Every worker In the ranks hopes
for a competence that will make his
old age comfortable and indepen-
dent. Sudden strokes OF fortune are
rare. and. besides. they seldom come
to those who fail to put up their
lightning rods. There is no royal
way to wealth. and the only way the
average person can hope for that
competence Is by saving. You must
plant pennies and nickles and dimes
now. that they may grow to dollars
when You need them. That seems
rather slow way, TO be sure. but IL
is the only way You cant any more
hope TO gain. Independence by spend
ing all you make than you can hope
