WHAT'S THE USE
Sticking to a Habit When II Means
Discomfort?

Old King Coffee knocks subjects
out tolerably fiat at times, and there
is no possible doubt of what did it. A
Mich. woman gives her experience:
Il used to have liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took medicine
which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in a while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. 1t
seemed as though every time 1 took a
breath l would die. No one could
suffer any more and live.
Finally I got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that could
not turn over in bed, and my stomach
did not digest even milk. The doctor
finally told me that if did not give up
drinking coffee would surely die, but
/ felt l could not give it up
However, Husband brought home
package of Postum and it was made
strictly according to directions. 1t
was the only thing that would stay
on my stomach, and I soon got SO I
liked it very much.
Gradually began to get better, and
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now l am in perfect condi-
ton, and am convinced that the whole
cause of my trouble was coffee drink
ing, and my getting better was due to
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum.

coffee and found, to my establishment,
that did not care anything about it.

more. / hope you will use this letter

TINY BABY'S PITIFUE CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, Z st. Johns Place, Ridgewood
Heights, N Y, Apr. 80 and May i, '09.''

THE MOTHER AND THE BOY
Childish Condolences That Should
Never Be Repealed, But Al
ways Encouraged.

A boys heart is full and overflow
ing. He needs some one who will listen
to his condolences. If he is repealed
and finds himself alone, he becomes
fretful indnlent or worse His affairs
are not nonsense" a good mother
never says: Run away; l am busy"
She listens, encourages.
Important discoveries may be made
in these outpourings. She gives SYM
pathy, enters into his feelings, sees
things from his point of view. If he
tells her of something which proves
that he is at fault, she does not repri-
mand at the time, because this will
check further condolences. She gives
her attention quietly, tells him she is
glad he has confided in her, and that
she will talk of it again to him.
If mother has insight she can
solve many problems. She is interest
ed in her boys sports, collections, his
school and companions. The choice Of
his companions should not be left to
chance. 1t is well if they are from
families known to his parents.

Kansas Takes
1000 Overland Cars

Our agents in Kansas have ordered for
this season 1000 Overland automobiles.
Nebraska takes 75o-Iowa 1,0O0--Texas
$500. Thus has the Overland-after one
years's experience-captured the farming
states.
1t has captured the cities, too. New
York City takes 1000 Overlands this year.
Boston takes 500-San Francisco 800
Washington 500-Philadelphia $50.
Our agents have contracted for 10000
0verlands-for s240OO,OOO worth of Over
lands-to supply the demand for this
year. That's a. larger sale than any 9TH
er car commands.
Yet, two years ago few had ever heard
of an Overland. This sensational success
is due to the creation of a remarkable
car.

Danger in Splitting on Sidewalks.

In order to show that splitting on the
sidewalks is dangerous to health AN in
vestigation has been made by DR., John
Robertson, medical health officer of
Birmingham, England, which shows
that seven per cent. of the "spits" COL
lected in public places contained con-
sumption germs. On the other hand
the dust collected from the floors of
the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage
sanitarium has been found to be free
of tuberculosis germs, showing that a

The Simple Car

The success Of the Overland is mainly
due to it's amazing simplicity. A 10-year-
old child can master the car in five min
utes. Push a pedal forward to go ahead,
and backward to reverse. Push another
pedal for high speed. There is nothing
else to do but steer.
Any man with the simplest instruc-
tons, can run an Overland thousand
miles and back.
There was never a car so easy to care
for-so easy to keep in order.

There Is a romance that clings to the
musty old volume which was unearthed
by Mr. English In search for information
of Miss Thompson. The story is as fol-
lows:
While Miss Thompson was a student
there came to live In Salem young
man who was named NJ c. Walker. He
was tall dark as an Indian, and had a
powerful frame. His eyes were the col
or of the skies and his hair black as
night.
Susan was introduced to him one night
at dance which was given by the
school,. and straightaway fell in love
with his swapping blue eyes and gleam-
ing white teeth that contrasted so
strangely with his brown face. He was
a divine dancer and Susan danced three
sets with him. AT the end, blushing ana
laughing, she asked him to call, having
received permission from her mother to
do so. He gracefully accepted and can .

not speak of love, but remained the same

to account for his hackwardness until
she thought of her wealth. She had a
fortune in her own name but Walker
was only struggling young attorney.
So matters went along, Susan grievng
because Walker did not speak, and he
eating his heart out because he could not
do so and retain his self-respect. At
