PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and he 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
North Carolina says:
My mother since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drfnker
and had been troubled with her heart
for number of years, and com
planned Of that weak all over feeling
and sick stomach.
Some time ago ] was making an Of
1cial visit to a distant part OF tine
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants Of the place. no
ticed a somewhat peculiar favor Of
the coffee. and asked him concerning
it. He replied that it vas Postum.
Il was so pleased with il, that after
the meal was over. i bought q pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked il SO we'll. that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely
Il had really been at times very anx-
ious concerning my mothers condition.
but We noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt So
much better than she did prior to it's
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
lily. but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother. as she was
a victim of long standing"

SUGGESTIONS for Fall Work.

For some time past there have been
many letters from both old and young
asking for suggestions that will be
helpful in club. school and Sunday
school work. In most instances the
social side is emphasized with a re-
quest that some scheme to mako
money be combined with it. Until the
time comes when We all set aside .
proportion of our income for charit-
able work on the same business basis
that we regulate our other expenses
there will always be demandssfor
ideas with which to cajOle the al
mighty dollar into empty treasures
and sugar-cOat the pill of getting
money to keep the wheels of great
charity organizations turning. True,
there is the social side that We all
need and is worthy of consideration.
Owing to lack of space l have con-
densed these schemes into as few
words as possible. leaving them to be
enlarged by those who try them.

mush served with cream and sugar
in quaint little blue bowls. which were
purchased at ten cents each as souve-
Mrs. Then there was regular old
fashioned corn-hulling bee the CON-
pany being divided into sides The
corn was then put in bags. a pound
to each and it was distributed to the
various charitable institutions where
there were children
An easy way of saving money is
carried out by class Of boys who are
in school: they save every penny bear
ing the year date of their birth. AS
these pennies are collected they are
turned into a common treasury and
given at the end of the year to a
charity that all decide on. As most
of them have enlisted the services of
their family and friends in watching
for these special pennies, there is u.s.
ually quite sum collected with very
little trouble.
Twelve young matrons organized
magazine club in this way: Each one
for a periodical, the choice |
being made at meeting in Novem-

finally collected at one house. When |

Bolivia is famous for it's silver. but

of gold, supposed to have been de-
