"The cause Of more than half the
family scraps that are scrapped to a
finish." says an exchange, us the In
law A man or a woman marries
some one absolutely antagonistic to
all the other members of the family,
and then, putting this person on a
pedestal, demands that all shall do her
or his will. For the sake OF courtesy,
often a whole family will yield many
points, and gradually the 'in-law' be-
comes more and more insistent. and
so things drift along, always the one
side giving in, until some straw, some

SHE QUIT COFFEE
And Much Good Came From II.

It is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as it
did a woman Of Apple Creek, o. She
tells her W story:
II did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said I liked
It so we'll I would not quit drinking It.
even II it took my life. but I was q
miserable sufferer from heart trouble
and ervou prostration for four years.
II was scarcely able to go around at
all. Had no energy. and did not care
for anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until
I thought I could not endure It. I
felt as though l was liable to die any
time.
Frequently I had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would up.
set me terribly. I vas gradually get
ting worse until finally one day, 1t
anne v e me, and l asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine so that I
can indulge myself in coffee?
$50 1 thought I would see If I could
quit drinking coffee, and got some
Postum to help me quit. I made it
strictly according to directions, and
I want to tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because I had the
Postum which I like better than I
liked the old coffee. One by one the
old troubles left, until now I am in
splendid health, nerves steady, heart
all right, and the pain all gone. Never
have any more nervous chills, don't
take any medicine, can do all my
'housework, and have done a great
deal besides.
my sisterin-law, who visited me
this summer had been an invalid for
some time, much as I was. I got her

gained five pounds in three weeks,
and I never saw such q change in any.

And he was gone. Mrs. Granmore
seized Miss Morgan's hand and shook
It.
THAT was splendid" she exclaimed.
1T was perfectly dear Of you to put
all those big price marks on the other
hats and show them to him first, but
l was horribly afraid some one else
might have taken this hat since l de-
cided on it yesterday, even though l
did ask you to hold it for me-"

I'll bet" Mr.. Granmore said on Eas-

found a hat that suited you better
than this one does"
I'm sure l couldn't, dear" Mrs.
Granmore answered, gratefully.
Which remark filled Henry with a
perfectly justifiable pride.
