AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experience

A woman who has used Postum since
1t came upon the market knows the
wisdom OF using Postum in place OF
tea or coffee If one values health and
clear brain. She says:
AT the time Postum was first. put
on the market | was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally | decided to take
his advice and try Postum. got a
package and had 1t carefully prepared,
finding It delicious to the taste. So |
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me OF It's
value. for got well OF my nervousness
and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until 1t had affected
his nerves terribly, and | persuaded
him to shift to Postum. was easy
to get him to make the change, for
Postum Is so delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
"Wc soon learned that Postum does
not eXhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and tho
stomach 80
ITO make long story short, our
entire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results as shown in
Our fine condition of health"
Better health follows the use OF
Postum in place of tea and coffee.

( Divine.

A class Of thirty-two members, in
tcluding several adults, was confirmed
at Christ Church, Washington parish,

service was an elaborate one, with mu-
sic given by vested choir under the
direction OF w. Arthur Storm, who has
been choirmaster at Christ Church for
ten years.
Following the service Bishop Hard
ing held a long private conference with
the new vestry, which is favorable to
tno rector, the Rev. A. S. Johns, as
respects the contention in the parish
over the Boys Brigade. Bishop Hard
ing talked at length of the strife in
the parish which resulted in the GUST
ing at the parish meeting Easter night
of those vestTymen opposed to the rec
9tor.
: An echo of that fight comes in the
announcement by member of the ves-
try prominent in behalf of the Rev.
Mr.. Johns that stringent restrictions
have already been adopted to prevent
outsiders from renting pews solely for
voting purposes at parish meetings"
: Charges were made before the parish
meeting by each sides that the other
was doing this recruiting. The in
terror of the church is to be beautified,
II is announced, through money raised
by women of the parish.

the Oldest Episcopal Church in Wash

Suffrage Problem Bobs
Up in House Committee

The question of woman's suffrage
bobbed up in the House Foreign Affairs
Committee yesterday Congressman Kent
and Hayes OF California, a State where
womans suffrage pervails, appeared in
support of a bill which would amend
the law of 1907 disfranchising women
who marry foreigners and continue to
reside in the United states.
The two California members insisted
that the Federal statute worked hard
ship on the women of their State who
might marry foreigners who had omit
ted to become naturalized
Congressman Hayes and Kent con-
tended that as California has given
women the right to vote and administer
property, the Federal statute is vir-
tuaily nullifying the will of the people
of California. The committee took the
knotty problem under advisement.
