THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

II parents realized the fact that cof-
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink
when l was q 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
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And so / contracted the coffee
habit early. l 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 coffee-mill, as a SUBJ
stitute for coffee.
but 1t 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
was %, and when l, got into Office
work, began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast l was so
nervous l could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper. / could hardly sleep. and on
rising In the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and,I did not like
It at first, but later when boiled good

not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.

Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

FROGS FROM THE CLOUDS

At the conclusion of an extraordl.
narily violent thunderstorm the other
week, Mr.. Jack Ayre of Temple Bot
tom, near Cruwys- Morchard, in Devon
shire, Eng, found long stretch of
road covered with thousands of frogs,
which, it is declared. cried like rab-
bits"
Mr. Ayr expresses the opinion that
the frogs came down from the sky,
and he is supported in this view by
another resident of the district. who
has experience of monsoons abroad.
This expert says that in the still
ness which precedes mOnsoons in trop-
ical regions all sorts of creeping
things come out of their hiding places
They are often carried up into the air
by whirlwinds, and when the mon
soons break down they are deposited
again in transforms. as appears to
have been the case at Cruwys- Nor
chard.

stating prices. A customer may be
deceived in the quantity of the goods
he is buying by what the advertise
ment states, but IL the advertisement
says a certain article will be sold for
four cents or four dollars, that goes,
and If the advertiser should put the
figures up the least little bit, the GUS
toner would raise howl that no sort
Of explanation would quiet. The ad-
vertiser might explain about quality
and get away with his published mis-
representation, but figures are figures
and the price that is printed the gen.
uine price. The customer knows
enough to claim the full truth as
stated in the advertisement and he
gets it. 1t is a reprehensible code of
ethics which permits an advertiser to
misrepresent 1t one way and not in
another, and, at least, a fair degree
of consistency should be maintained.
Whether it is contrast. or whether
1t is the innate love of truth that lives
in most consciences, / do not know,
but the advertiser who has proved
himself truthful in his advertisements
so inspires confidence in those who
read that they will put themselves to
almost any Inconvenience to buy from
him and no matter how alluring the
advertisements of the other kind may
read they believe that the only virtue
in the goods offered is in the adver-
tisment, and stick to the real thing.

ADVERTISING EPIGRAMS

ADVERTISING EPlGRAMS
Advertise and keep au-
vertising until you have
made enough money.
The value of advertising
is not in proportion to its
size, but in proportion to its
persistence.
Don't look for results as
soon as the first man has
read your advertisement.
The newspaper is the old
reliable advertising medium.
A poor joke printed is a
boomerang. A good joke
diverts attention from your
prices of goods.
Put prices in your adver-
tiSements.
II you are using a small
space, talk about one ar
ticle at a time.
Talk about your goods,
not about your firm or what
a fine place your store is.
Sign all your advertise
inents the same way.
Advertise the thing
there's profit in.
Be brief. People who
have time to read long ads.
have little money with which
to buy goods.
Change your ads. often.
People think you are not
alive if you don't.
