HARD TO DROP. But Many Drop It.

A young Calf. wife talks about cof- fee:
 "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that l was nervous wreck and of course that means alt kinds of ails.
 l"At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and gave it up, but my con- dition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of 1t. At that time & friend came to live with ua. and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink hie coffee any more. I asked him the req son. He replied, T have not had head ache since I left off drinking coffeo, some months ago, till last week, when ! began again, here at your table. | don't see how anyone can like cofreAs anyway, after drinking Postumr
 ''I said nothing, but at once ordered c package of Postum. That was hvo months ago. and we have drank no coe- fee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed ana talked half the night. We were con- vinced that coffee caused his suffering. so he returned to Poctum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of c friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia.
 q, myself. have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to culver. It seems so easy now to quit coffee that caused our aches and ailo and take up Postum."

which includes one negro in each negro house, none of the children or the wives and not all of the men. At the general average, this would put the population of Birmingham at 161 900, and at the min imum computation, the population must be at least 10000. The tendency among those who have closely watched the growth of the population and studied the effect of Greater Birmingham, is to place the figures which the census takers will find at between 140000 and 15o,000
