HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

"Oh how hard it was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that l finally brought myself to leave
It off.
Then the question was, what should
we use for the morning drink? Tea
was worse for us than coffee; choco-
late and cocoa were soon tired OF;
milk was not liked very well. and hot
water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without it since.
I'VE have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not
take milk, SO we tried Postum and
found she liked 1t and It agreed with
her perfectly. She is today, and has
been, one of the healthiest babies In
the State.

one-third milk and teaspoon OF sugar,

The latest government report is ad-
ditionally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The returns, as interpreted by
the skilled statistician of the New
York produce exchange, indicate a to-
tai harvest of 7O2, 404,0 900 bushels,
against an indication for the same
time last year of 52,351 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the
actual result, for the total yield last
year was 37,159,0OO bushels. Should
there be similar excess this year there
will be a good chance for a record
breaking output.

ed $4,000 damages against the Santa
Fe Railway company by the supreme
