This is the story. On September IA, 94S, Saint

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the 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 a Southern state says: My moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one OF
the merchants of the place. noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the eof-
fee, and asked him concerning il. He
replied that it was Postum. | was SO
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, bought a package to carry
homo with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal: the
whole family liked 1t SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers CON
ditlon, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
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 aa well
and hearty as the rest of us.
i know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
ily' but in more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing"
Ever read the above IetterP A new
one nppears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF human
interest.

shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago, in consequence OF
commercial panic, there was a severe
run on a bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. By his
directions. a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in frying pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. why, they're quite hot!" said
the latter as he took them up "Of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are colning them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
