COFFEE WAS 1T.
People Slowly Learn the Facts.

"All my life l have been such
slave to coffee that the very aroma
of 1t was enough to set my nerves
uuivering. / kept gradually losing my
health but used to say Nonsense, 1t
don't hurt me-.
Slowly was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
whole nervous force was shattered.
my heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me,
about a year ago, that 1 must stop
drinking coffee or 1 could never ex-
pect to be well again.
81 was in despair, for the very
thought of the medicines had tried
so many times nauseated me.
thought Of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
FINALLY l concluded that l owed 1t
to myself to give Postum trial. SO l
got a package and carefully followed
the directions, and what a delicious,
nourishing, rich drink 1t was! Do you
know 1 found 1t very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
almost Immediately after I made
the change I found myself better. and
as the days went by kept on improv-
ing. My nerves grew sound and
steady, l slept well and felt strong
and well-balanced all the time.
Now l am completely cured, with
the old nervousness and sickness all
gone. In every way l am well once
more"
It pays to give up the drink that
acts on some like a poison, for health
is the greatest fortune one can have.

years before they leave school. show
ing to what extent their vocational
desires change and shift, and to what
effect they are likely to make wise
choice of their life work. This is
but first step in a movement that Is
growing all over the country for the
purpose of bringing education into d.
rect alliance with livelihood. II It

be possible to so direct his education

educational boards are cooperating
with labor exchanges and boards OF
trade in an effort to keep track OF
pupils after they leave school, and to
save them from falling into lines OF
