he was an habitual coffee drinker. and.
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling, which practically IN
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home

began to use it. Although it was in

my entire living for about six weeks
OF severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with a little bread and butter and
a cup OF hot water, till I was wise

After the first two weeks I began
to feel better and during the whole
winter rinever lost a trip on my mail

THE constant marvel to me was
how a person could do the amount of
work and endure the fatigue andshard-
ship as I did, on SO small an amount
OF food. But / found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that I have
continued them-using both Postum

ness of the cause for which we fought.
This not selhshly for ourselves, but for
our descendants. We know. and will
forever know. that We were right. Then
let US see to it that our children know
it. Be sure that our children, and
their children. to the remotest genera
ton will know it-know it without
doubt and without question. know that
their fathers we're not rebels. but pa
triots-not traitors but martyrs. They
should know that we fought not for
conquest but for defense; not for en-
richment. not for territory, not to main
tain slavery, but to preserve the pre-
cious rights won by and handed down
to rs by our forefathers We fought
without pay our only reward being
the consciousness Of duty wen per-
formed. we fought for our freedom,
our fresides, our women, and our
God.
