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

fare. mo consumptive should go to

Tuberculosis can be cured n any
part of the United States. and 1t is
not necessary for a tuberculosis pa
tent to go West. Whenever possible,
the National Association urges tuber-

THIRTEEN YEARS
UnIucky Number for Dakota Woman

The question whether the number
"13" is really more unIucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Oak. woman, after thirteen
years Of misery from drinking coffee,
found way to break the ''unlucky
spell" Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She writes:
For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, hearth fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by it.
Last year was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble
Then began using Postum instead of
coffee, but with little faith, as my
mind was in such a condition that I
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 l will be q

''I have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.
S. wanted to know where bought my
fine coffee. I told her my grocer had
it and when she found out it was Pos
tum she has used it ever since, and
her nerves are building up fine.

Early blowing after the wheat har-
