FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
tThe same drug is found in tea)
There are five children in my fam
ily." writes an Iowa mother, "all of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
my husband and had heart trouble
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing)
Our eleven-year-old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
We changed to Postum he liked it and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes it."
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes delicious beverage
instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
There's a reason" for Postum.

Shows Advance Over 1912.

| wastern Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-This years corn crop
promises to be the most valuable this
or any other nation ever has produced.
although the department of agricul-
ture's preliminary estimate Of produc-
tions indicates it will be more than
half a million bushels less in size
than the record crop of last year. and
the smallest since 1903.
Based on the departments figures
of TOT cents per bushel, the average
farm value on November l, the crop,
as now estimated. is worth s1.741.-
353,019, while the value of the 1912
record crop was $1,520,454 900. The
previous most valuable crop was that
of 1909, when 1t was worth $1.452.s22.-
900.
The departments preliminary esti.
mate of production increased by 80,
100000 bushels the estimate made in
October. and also that made in Sep
tember. This was taken to indicate
that the damage from the drought in
the middle west was somewhat over
estimated. The departments final
estimate of production next month
may show further increase in the
size of the crop.
