drug in coffee. She writes:
For thirteen years I have been a

My liver, stomach, heart-in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by 1t.
Last year was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble.
Then 1 began using Postum instead Of
coffee, but with little faith, az my
mind was in such condition that
hardly knew what to do next.
Extreme nervousness and failing
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after quit coffee
and began to use Postum I was able
to read and my head felt clear. am
improving all the time and will be- a

Il have fooled more than one person
with delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.

fine coffee. told her my grocer had

Cause for CONSERVATION.

The inexperienced district school
teacher had exhausted all other ex-
pedients for the maintenance of disci-
pine. Going out into the school yard,
she broke off good-sized switch that
was growing there and administered
primitive punishment to Jimmy Kel-
ley
There were strange expressions Of
Mortified amazement on the faces Of
the children, and when school was dis
missed at noon they gathered in ex-
cited groups and talked in whispers.
Finally the teachers curiosity could
stand it no longer. Calling Henry
Thomas to her, she demanded the
cause of the discussions.
'Why-why-why teacher" he
stammered, ''that-that switch you
licked Jimmy with-that was the tree

Not Necessary to Leave Home.

In an effort to stop the migration OF
dying consumptives to the Southwest,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis will
ask physicians to be more careful in
ordering patients to go away, and will
also ask railroads to discontinue their
practice Of selling charity" tickets
to those who cannot afford to pay full
fare. mo consumptive should go to
Colorado, California, or the West for
his health" says tho association, "un-
less he has good chance for recov-
cry from his disease, and unless espe-
cially he has at least $1,000 to spend
for this purpose, over and above what
his family may need.
Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part Of the United States, and it Is
not necessary for tuberculosis pa
tient to go West. Whenever possible,
the National Association urges tuber-
culosis patients who have not ample
funds to go to sanatorium near
home, and if they cannot do this, to
take the cure in their own homes, I'M
