haps IL might be caused by coffee
drinking. / tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly I am now glad

they are using steadily. There ar,
some people that mako Postum yer,

ing the first IL months OF 1909 this has
doomed, the importation of cut dia-

times more than during the same period
last year and almost S6.300,000 more
than during that time in 1907.
In fact, the imports of cut diamonds
for this year, with December omitted.
amounted to moro than $l,000.000 more
than for the IL months of 1907. the bal-
ner year in such importations.
More than s40.000OOO worth of dia-
monds and other precious stones Were
imported into the United States for
the flrst II months OF 1909. This repre-
sents an increase of s2S.00o.o0O Over
