hold, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable.
There are thousands of cases where
the proof is absolutely undeniable.
Here is one.
A Wis. mother writes:
Il was taught to drink coffee at
an early age, and also at an early age
became a victim to headaches, and as
| grew to womanhood these head
aches became part of me, as I was
scarcely ever free from them.

MY husband and little daughter

they have both been entirely free
from them since we began using Pos
tum instead of coffee. I no longer
have headaches and my health is per-

If some Of these nervous, tired, ir-
ritable women would only leave off
coffee absolutely and try Postum they
would find a wonderful change in
their life. 1t would then be filed
with sunshine and happiness rather

ing. We therefore advise the follow
ing plan under boil weevil condi-
tions on such lands:
Burn all the cotton stalks, and
after the weevils have gone into win
ter quarters burn all the rubbish in
and about the field is early in the
fall as possible. In the spring, bed
on the firm. ground, giving more
space between the rows. Prepare
good seed bed before planting and
maintain ridge cultivation through
the season. The foregoing is espe-
cially for lands where, under wee
vii Conditions, there lis an excess Of
plant growth. q
Fifth. The lands must be well.
drained and NO larger area planted
than can be intensively worked.
Sixth. All the supplies Of food
and forage must be raised at home
and can be on the lands not planted
to cotton.
Seventh. It is practically safe to
make advances in boil weevil terrt
tory If the farmer follows govern.
ment instructions.
Eighth. There should be rigid
system of inspection to see that the
government plan is followed.
The great drouth and the intense
heat in July and August last year
throughout Texas and Oklahoma ac~
centuated the Importance of deeper
tillage and more thorough prepara-
tion of the soil.
I ask every agent of the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration Work
and every farmer in the Southern
States to do his best to make a ban
ner crop of all farm staples in 1910.

determined. City physicians de-
