Berne, by the way, is the most Swiss
of all Swiss towns and one that has
preserved its picturesquesness more
than most Of the rapidly modernized
cities of Europe. The old part is full
of quaint old houses, forming arcades
called "lauben." At regular intervals
there are beautiful fountains with
statues, some serious, some humorous.
But the most comical corner Of the
town is the famous bear pit. This is
probably the oldest bear pit in the

'I have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that 1t is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he is fine and
healthy, and when five months old,
won prize in a baby contest. 1t

many homes and see a sweet-faced
baby with the whole top of it's head
solid mass of scurf, caused by poor

RAPID GROWTH OF BOMBAY

Payment of Ten Pounds.

London.-Bombay was a gift horse,
which Englishmen at first looked very
discontentedly in the mouth. Mr..

fronting thy (England'6 richest sea

'the inconsiderableness of the place
of Bombaim it being, il

really so as was described to our
king In the draft Of it. but a poor lit

that "the king and lord chancellor
and other learned men about the
king" had been grossly deceived in
the matter.
Bombay was one Of the earliest
Portuguese settlements in India. The
British, recognizing its strategic i'm
portance, attempted to seize the place
in 1926. They failed, but Bombay be-

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe.
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and Is just as harmful as coffee)
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and ! gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried a small
quantity Of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must let
It alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put little bit Of but
ter In the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich favor
and the deep brown color.
II have advised great many Of
my friends and patients to leave Off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily

Many thousands of physicians use

their own homes and prescribe It to
patients.
