MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffee

The manager of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while a regu-
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri-

the performance of his business du-
ties.

Il finally concluded that something
would have to be done. l quit the use
of coffee, short off, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn't boil it long
enough, and l did not find it palatable
and quit using 1t and went back to cof-
fee and to the stomach trouble again.

The PASSING Of the Wife.

We have known for some time that
the wife would have to go. We have
held off as long as possible the in
evitable moment, but it might just
as well be over at once.
The wife was a very desirable ar
ticle while she lasted. She mended
the hose and did the homework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
person certainly-one to love, to hon
or and obey.
Now the suffragette age is upon us
and the wife is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct, says Life.
In q few more years she will be ex-
hibited in museums.
Adieu, madam! We respect your
memory!
