A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
al times for my Homework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, l happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, l gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then l again made application fer
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that l be-
gan to use Postum and / am using 1t
still, and shall continue to do SO, as l
find it a guarantee of good health"

To Organize a Lespezda Growers AS
ISOLATION.

Capt. C. H. Teal has received the
following letter, of general interest
hereabouts, viz:
My Dear Sir:-Lespezda is rapidly
becoming an Important hay crop IN
Louisiana. No other plant is so
suitable for hay production under
some conditions. The price of the
hay on the general market, however,
is not commensurate with the real
feeding value, as compared to other
hays. The price of seed is also de-
clining somewhat. 1t has been con
sidered advisable by interested par
ties to call a meeting OF lespezda
growers for the purpose OF organic
ing an association for mutual pro-
lection and benefit. This meeting
will be held at Baton Rouge, at 8 p.
m, Tuesday, Jan. 18th, in Garis
Hall on the campus of the Louisiana
State University. Mr.. A. ID. McNair,
of the U. 5. Department of Agricul-
ture, will be present to address the
meeting. 1t is sincerely hoped that
you will be able to attend.
Very respectfully.

moved there from the Post of Arkan-
sas in 1921, although in 1920, only

being unable to spike it the retreat
ing soldiers buried it. 1t was resur-
rected during the Brooks Bax ter war,
hence it's present name. The old

just we'll learned to FletcheriZe. pr. AIonzo F. Taylor, professor of physi- ological chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, rises to remark that the greater part of F'letcheism is down right nonsense"
 Is~it possible that we have been xzsting hours of valuable time at the table trying to carry out the tenets of F1etcher's physiologie religion Have we been wearing off our teeth and tiring our maxillary muscles all in vain?
 Anything beyond reasonable amount of chewing" says Dr. Taylor. "is a mere waste of time and energy" X little FIetchcrizing is all right, but the person that sits at the table and chews and thinks of how well he is going to digest food may not he as well off as the person that goes at his eating in a way prompted by a natural desire to appease appetite
 So the weight of authority appears to be about equal on both sides Of the question. Under the circumstances the safest advice to give to those who feel the need of advice is to eat when you are hungry and to be optimistic when you feel like it.-Tacoma Ledger.

If We are only patient we are pretty sure to be able to cite distinguished authority in support Of our habits of eating and drinking and doing numer- ous other things A professor comes forward with counsel contrary to our way of doing things and we are pug zled and convinced temporarily that We have been on the wrong track. We may conclude that our life has been nothing but d series of errors and that complete change is inn perative if we are to survive under modern conditions.
 Have you been FletcheiZing your food? Fletcher informed the world few years ago that people would be healthier and happier if they masti- cated their food longer Optimism and other good things of life were to be obtained by proper mastication. Fletcher wrote a little book on opti- msm. in which he undertook to show how the sum of human happiness would be immensely increased if we all chewed our food long enough. He explained how optimism was neccs- sity of digestion and how physiOlogic mastication created optimism. Opti- mism in connection with good masti cation was the blessed cycle

THE FEAR OF SUCCESS.

In d notable address on 'miscOncep- tions about high finance" before the finance forum of the Young Mems Christian association in this city MT. Paul D. Cravath set down as the great economic and human problem of the day in this country the solution of the fierce conflict between the people and the government on the one hand and the great corporations on the other. And one of the great difficulties i'm pedng honest and effective discussion of the problem is found. he said, "in the deliberate exclusion of the great leaders of finance from any recognized part in the government" This IS not thc case in other countries. and is something of comparatively recent ori- gin here in the United States.
