THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife of an employe of one Of the
great roads says:
"My husband is railroad man who
has been SO much benefited by the use
OF Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked 1t
strong.
Tea has, of late years. acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first 1t soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then 1t began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work In the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
1t, and 1t somehow seemed to do him
good, he added 1t to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew, better. he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more. and his sleep IL
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
His brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by US to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given BY

Uncle Sam and His Divorces.

Almost every twelfth marriage In
this country ends In divorce. About
two-thirds Of the divorces are granted
TO the wife. Thirty-nine per cent OF
divorces are due to desertlon. Ths
marriage rate in southern states il
larger than in the north. America
with the single exception of JapanD
leads the world In the number OF dl.
vorces. The divorce rate is three times
as large as 1t was in 1870. or the di.
vorcs cases that come up only is per
cent are contested. and Is per cent. Of
the divorce applications are granted.
Uncle Sam not only has high divorce
rate, but has the highest marriage rate
on earth. his only rivals in the latter
line being Hungary. west Australia
and Saxony. Ireland has the lowest
marriage rate and Sweden the next
lowest
