THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby,

! II parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-cafeine-which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals 1
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so / contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the ~cofee-mill, as a sub
,stitute for coffee.
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long. before Postum was ever heard
OF. ! continued to use coffee until l
was q, and when I got into office
work, l began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast was so
nervous I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
cat night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and OF
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and 1 did not like
it at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we yer tasted.
Il can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. 1

Board of Health. Of this number
% have resulted in death. Nine

Every effort to determine the

afflicted, but many adults have been

CORN EDUCATION.

Free Bulletins for School Teachers
on Corn Production.
The United States department OF
agriculture has recently issued two
bulletins of universal interest to
rural teachers. They have been
prepared by Dick ]. Crosby and f.
w. Howe, specialists in agricultu-
raj education, and are entitled
School Lessons on Corn" and
School Exercises in Plant Pro-
iuction." These bulletins are
based on the sensible assumption
that the child is primarily inter
ssted in the practical and expert,
mental side of any science, and that
any general interest in agriculture
will be the result of some special
agricultural experiment in which
he may be engaged.
Thee thousand boys in South
Carolina this year raised an acre OF
corn. Many of them will receive
The diploma awarded by the State
board of education for producing
sventy-nve bushels per acre. we
confidently expect five thousand
boys to take part in the corn con.
lest next year. The air is full OF
corn talk. The teacher OF South
Carolina should have a part IN ex-
lending this movement and should
use this acute special interest as a
means of teaching general agrlcul-
ture.
Through the kindness Of the de-
partment of agriculture and the
courtesy Of Senator Tillman, Mr..
W. X. Tate, State supervisor OF ele-
mentary rural schools, has 5000
copies of these bulletins for distri-
button. A supply has been sent by
him to each county superintendent
of education. Any teacher may
have copies of these bulletins by
writing to Mr.. Tate in Columbia.
