RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum from Per
SonaI Test.

No one is better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor. Tea is just as harmful as coffee
because it, too. contains the drug caf-
feline.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving of coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
81 wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and part OF the time was IN
able to attend to my business.
81 was a moderate user OF coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe It to the change from coffee
to Postum.
81 am prescribing it now in cases of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.

found satisfaction in objective funer-

They were condemned to short terms
of imprisonment, and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen

* ant tests in seed bed prepare
ton for wheat at the college
farm at Manhattan:
Ground was pIowed July Is and
September -. Two plots were plowed
in July, one seven inches deep and the
other three inches deep. After plow-
ing both plots were worked alike.
Three plots were plowed in August,
all seven inches deep. One plot had
been disked in July, and of the other
two one was worked as thought de-
sireable throughout the summer and
the other left without working until
September 10, when il was worked in
the same manner as the September
plGwed plots. Three plots were plOw-
ed September 10. Of these, one was
d:sked early, the other two had been
uncultivated previously to blowing
and We're pIowed deep and shallow,
respectively.
OF these methods the early, deep
plowed plot gave the largest yield,
$3.50 bushels per acre. The next
largest yield was from the shallow
blowing of the same date This plot
made a yield of 1916 bushels per acre.
Of the plots plOwed in August the plot
disked July 10 made a yield of 80. 6S
