MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental LABOR
Since Leaving off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work TO perform, day aft
er day. have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post
UNI instead of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
81 had drank coffee for about twenty
years. and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart / was nervous
and extremely Respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
1.-The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee TO Postum
was the natural action OF the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then became less respondent and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. / formerly
did mental work and had to give IL up
on account OF coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich
Postum now comes in new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. 1t
is regular Postum, so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained
A spoonful OF Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce instantly delicious

Dominick and Josh rose and there

open on her lap.

"Therell be brutal and inhuman

stop blocking the way, Josh McCrae,"
said Hazel severely. Il want to go out
that side and there you are right in
the path, trying to be funny"
The cheerful Josh, still laughing,
turned and moved onward between the
seats, the others following him. The
mass of the crowd was not yet leav-
ing, and as the little group moved for

drive, the exciting opening of the VIII

Berry was the last of the line. In
the furry Of departure her silence had
passed unnoticed, and that she should
thus leg at the tail Of the procession
was not in any way remarkable, as.
at the best of times, she was not much
of a walker and in her high-heeled
Sunday shoes her progress was always
deliberate.
Looking ahead of her, she saw the
landscape still as a picture under the
STARTING, lurid sunlight. 1t seemed to
be painted with unnaturally giaring
tints, to be soaked in color. The grass,
crossed with long shadows, was Of the
greenness of an aniline dye. The
massed foliage of tree groups showed
a melting richness of shades. no one
clearly defined, all fused in a thick,
OPAQUE lusciousness of greens. The air
was motionless and very clear. Where
a passing carriage stirred the dust
the powdery cloud rose. spreading a
furnishing blur on the crystalline clar-
ity of the scene. The sun injected
these dust films with gold, and they
settled slowly, as if it made them
heavy. like ground-up particles OF
