A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
I suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my Homework, did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
/ 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
| was widow and had child de-
pendent upon me. It was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the Same way that I was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fitted by leaving OF 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, 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 ny out OF my mouth
Then again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble IN
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that be-
gan to use Postum and I am using 1t
still, and shall continue to do SO, as
ind it a guarantee OF good health"

A Tramp and the Toothache.

The bitterness toward the dead
president Of the Traders Bank SEEM
ed To grow With time. Never popu-
lar, his memory was execrated by
people who had lost nothing, but who
were filled with disgust by constantly
hearing new stories of the mans
grasping avarice. The Traders had
been favorite bank for small trades
people, and in its savings department
il had solicited the smallest deposits
People who had thought to be self
supporting TO the last found them
selves confronting the poorhouse,
their two or three hundred dollar
savings wiped away. All bank fail
ures have this element, however, and
the directors were trying to promise
twenty per cent. On deposits.
But, like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgot

did not mention Jack Bailey: ! had
found nothing to change my impress

ING PLACE WILL BE
GOOD INVESTMENT.

A, revival of interest In the boy of
number of gentlemen OF this city
through a boys club. 1t is the belief
of the parties interested that 1t would
be good investment. seeing that 1t
clubs for boys in the United States.
II is pointed out that given a little en-
by the community, boys
of the street respond in most instances
by becoming steadier In their habits;
they soon learn to do something worth
while; all of which means less tax
on their parents and great good I'LL
timately to the community.
A concrete example of the worth of
a club for boys is that recently re-
ported in St Joe, Mo, papers. A
Russian boy fourteen years old, SELL
ing papers for a living developed a
talent for sketching. The Arts and
Crafts Club of that city became in
terested in the newsboy and gave him
a free scholarship in art under a
competent instructor. Here Is only
one of many instances that could be
cited to sustain the contention that
it pays to look after the boy of the
street. OF course. 1t must be under
stood that the management of the
boys club aims to get in touch with
the parents of the boys in order to
enlist their aid. Thus ii happens that
some boys are between two fires, and
eventually fall in line as the best
course to pursue.
The rooms will be opened in a
week or two. The following gentle
men comprise the advisory commit
tee: Rev. S. c. Hatcher. n. D.. Rev.
j. T.. Mastin. r. w Duke and l.. A.
