THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.
pertinent Of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
l had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. l tried to give
up the use Of coffee entirely, but found
it hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that soon learned to love
it and have used it for several years.
I improved Immediately after 1 left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. I am now we'll
and contented and all because I
changed from coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
so even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now in our family.
We use Postum, and are always we'll"

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with OF
without china dishes.

in and He

The most permanently uncOmfOrt-
able man in Betzville is Rocco Mack
intosh, and it is all due to his two ma
lures, which he inherited from his
parents. From his mother, who was
Rosa Gallucci, he inherited the hot
blooded nature of Italy, and from his
father, Sandy Macintosh, he inner
tied the cautious nature of Scot,
and while both these natures are ex-
cellent, they do not mix well, and IN
Rocco Macintosh they did not mix
at all. They remained at all times
distinctly separate, like the streaks
of fat and lean in piece of bacon.
Three weeks ago last Wednesday
Rocco woke with his hot Italian ma
ture in the saddle, so to speak, and an
overpowering desire came upon him
to write Black Hand letter, SO he sat
down and began to write one. but
when he was about half through his
cautious Scotch nature warned him
that he was doing very dangerous
thing, and that if he was discovered
he might be taken to court and made
to pay a fine. But when he decided
not to write a Black Hand letter, his
warm Italian nature rebelled and in
sisted that he write the letter. So,
to placate both his natures he wrote
the letter and addressed it to himself
Then he took the letter to the post
office and mailed it.
When his Macintosh nature re-
ceived the letter the next morning he
was very much excited. Never be-
fore had he received threatening let
ter, and it made him properly angry,
but he swore that, no matter what
happened, he would not put 500
under a stone, as the letter command
ed him to do. Instead he went out
and borrowed a shotgun from Uncle
Ashdod Clute, so as to be ready for
the worst.
Along about four o'clock that after
noon his Italian nature took hold of
him and he sat down and wrote a
threatening letter to himself, ten times
worse than the first, and mailed it to
himself.
When he received this letter the
next morning his Scotch blood fair
ly boiled. He was so angry he could
hardly hold his pen while he was
writing another Black Hand letter to
himself that afternoon, but he was
wise enough to take every precaution,
and before he went to bed he barri-
caded the house by pushing all the fur
niture against the doors. Even then
he was so excited he could not sleep,
and several times in the night he
arose and wrote Black Hand letters
to himself
BY the end of the week he was in
such state of fear that he only VEN
tured from the house once day, and
that was to mail to himself the let.

ing, and they all mentioned last
Wednesday as the last day of grace
If the 500 was not put under the fiat
stone at the crossroads by noon that
day ample vengeance would be taken
on him.
Everyone in Betzville noticed the
change that had come over Rocco
Macintosh, but no one suspected what
his trouble was, and Wednesday morn
ing dawned upon placid scene. The

flat as ever, and the cross roads
