morning paper to have her eye caught
by the advertisement headed: "Why
Pay Rent?" A contractor had erected
several houses which he was anxious
to dispose of for cent or two down
and the balance the same as cheap
rent. In year or two, paying the
very lowest rent in America, the pur-
chaser of one of these houses would
have a clear title to it. 1t was better
than a gold mine. Your money was
working for you every day in the
week.
Before the bride had read that ad-
vertisement through, she had deter
mined to show it to James that eve
ming. When she had finished 1t her
mind was made up to give him glad
surprise. The breakfast things had
scarcely been cleared away when she
donned her hat and set out. She found
the street and the houses and the
philanthropist The houses had been
painted with only one coat, but that
was to give purchasers chance to
put on the last coat to suit their
tastes. The houses about covered the
lots, but that was an advantage. II
hogs got in there was no place fol
them to root. Every objection raised
was met and turned to the advantage
of the buyer. In fact, it was case OF
philanthropy all through.
Mrs. Carter expected up to a Ger
tain point to get the house she hat
decided on for five cents down ane
five dollars a month as rent. That Ger
tain point was when she was told
that she must pay $50 down and $2'
per month. The selling price was 81,
500, and as she stood with her moutl
omen the contractor remarked that thu
s25 per month would pay for the hous
almost before she could get settled
He had given so different person
the same chance, and in a very fey
minutes-or days-they were hous
owners and tax payers.
The house was bought. There Woul
be papers for herself and husband t
sign after two or three days, but sh
had to leave her $50 then and there
That was to prevent the contracto
from selling the house to some on
willing 30 pay 100000 for 1t.

POSTUM FOR MOTHERS
The Drink That Nourishes and Sup

my husband had been unable to
drink coffee for several years, so we
were very glad to give Postum trial
and when we understood that long
boiling would bring out the delicious
favour, we have been highly pleased
with it.
1T is one of the finest things for
nursing mothers that have ever seen.
It keeps up the mothers strength and
increases the supply of nourishment
for the child if partaken of freely. I
drank it between meals instead of wa
ter and found it most beneficial.
"Our five.year-old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bloodless.
began to give him Postum freely and
you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great improvement, we never fall to
tell them that we attribute his gain
In strength and general health, to the
free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.
II have always cautioned friends to
whom have spoken about Postum, to
follow directions in making 1t, for
unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
other hand, when properly made. it is
very delicious. want to thank you
for the benefits we have derived from
the use of your Postum"
