SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Experience of a Southern Man.

'Please allow me to thank the origi-
nator of Postum, which in my case.
speaks for ITSELF" writes a Fla. man.
81 formerly drank so much coffee
that my nervous system was almost a
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause it contains caffeine. the drug
found in coffee.) my physician told
me to quit drinking 1t but l had to
have something. so 1 tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise l saw quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was a year ago and now
my nerves are steady and / don't have
those bilious sick headaches which /
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And l do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when get up morn
ings. When Postum is boiled good
and strong, 1t is far better in taste
than coffee. My advice to coffee drink
ers' is to try Postum and be con-
,vinced."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
creek, Mich. Write for copy of the
little book, "The Road to wellville."
POSTUM comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled
instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup OF hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage
instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
Ihere's reason" for Postum.

ANOTHER SIDE TO MATTER
Ono Man Has Discovered That offos-
Ing Floral Bouquets to the Living

There has been a good deal in the
paragraph section of our exchanges
for some weeks to the effect that you
should give the bouquets now; not
wait to lay them on the coffin lid."
says Tom Thompson in the Howard
Courant. Ella Wheeler before she was
Wilcox wrote poom on that
theme; Chancellor Bradford at the
chautauqua dinged 1t into US, and
most of US have been affected by it.
But. say, my brother-sister, have you
tried 1t yet? l have-twice. First,
tried on very dear friend of the
other sex. and she began to get nerv-
out like she thought was trying to
fiirt with her. Then I quit, for l am
prominently no flirt. Next tried 1t
on brother in my lodge and Sunday
school, and he SHE'D off like he expect
ed me to ask him for a loan. So after
this shall water my flower beds and

sions exclusively. Very few people
know how to receive floral offerings,
anyway.-Kansas City Star.

What So Precious
As a Healthy Baby?
Every Youngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion IF Gfuen q Good
Baby Laxative:

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated. and 1t is fact that
constipation and Indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxativetonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy Is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced Of its merits buy the
dollar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal medi-
cine for children, and 1t is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure In its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little Of 1t is required and its frequent
use does not cause 1t to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation. Indigestion, bilious
ness. sick headaches. ETC.. among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

tie son Howard was fifteen months old
