No Excuse for This Tax.

The tax Of Is per cent. on German
books hitherto admitted free is one of
those items which are slipping
through under cover of the sensation
al free sugar and free wool features
Of Democratic revision. 1t is cause
of prompt resentment in Germany and
should be a cause of chagrin at home
Like the tax on plastic art, 1t is a
tax on civilization. and should not be
adopted unless very clear case can
be made out for 1t. That case. how
>ver, can. only be based on the non
democratic theory OF protection.

Worse than that" said the guide.

way fer several months, and local

AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum

An old faithful nurse and an exper-
fenced doctor, are pretty strong COM
bination in favor of Postum, instead
Of tea and coffee.
The doctor said
II began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
became victim of insomnia. In a
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as q
baby.
I'm three months had gained twen-
ty pounds in weight. i now use Pos
tum altogether instead of tea and cof-
fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit.
Having little tendency to Diabe-
ties, used small quantity of sacchar-
Inc instead of sugar, to sweeten with.
l may add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients, on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-
erage.
I'm conclusion can assure anyone
that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there Is
nothing equal to Postum"

Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing but Is prepared Instantly by stir

cup of hot water, which makes 1t right

A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper 1t with O
large supply OF cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
