DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble

So common is the use of coffee as g.
beverage, many do not know that it is
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for WHILE
at least, and .pote results. A Virginia
lady found out inpthis way, and also
learned Of new beverage that Is
wholesome as well as pleasant to-
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life
up to year and a half ago, / haG
been coffee drinker.
Dyspepsia, severe headaches ano
heart weakness made me feel some
times as though l was about to die
After drinking a cup or two OF not
coffee, my heart would go like clock
without pendulum. At other times IL
would almost stop and was so nerV~
Gus l did not like to be alone.
IF l took a walk for exercise, as
soon as l was out Of sight of the house
I'd feel as if / was sinking, and this
would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me,
and the pity of it all was, / did noG
know that coffee was causing the trou~
BILE.
Reading in the papers that MANI
persons were relieved of such ailments
by leaving off coffee and drinking Post
UNI, got my husband to bring home
a package. We made it according to
directions and / liked the first cup. It's
rich, snappy flavor was delicious.
Il have been using Postum about
eighteen months and to my great JOY
digestion is good, my nerves and heart
are all right, in fact, am well woman

LARGE Stones the Race.

Rings are enjoying wonderful popu.
larity. Not the small, modest kind
but rings with stones or settings as
big as buttons. The largest stones are
turquoise, or scarabs. fecked with
brown. 1t is highly probable that such
stones are counterfeit, but they are
handsome, and fit in well with ideas
of the moment, which call for effects
that are antique and barbara. Tiny
gems and settings may be very refined
but they are not conspicuous enough
to be modish. Really, the more heavy
stone or setting, the more stunning
it Is now considered.

FOR THE YOUNG LADY
DAINTY MODELS IN PLENTY
MARK THE SEASON.
.nqenue Has Been as Well Taken
Care of as Her EIders-Checked
and Plaid Materials Are
Both Popular.

Unfortunately in our country too
many young girls are dressed accord
ing to their whims rather than &C
cording to the canons of good taste,
and 900 many mothers are weakly
indulgent rather than wisely au-
thoritative in this matter of dress for
their daughters. The fault is not SO
common as it once was. Standards
are better.
With a tailored coat and skirt there
should go at least one pretty dark
blouse matching the suit, and these
little dark blouses of silk or chiffon
are often frightened up by bit of
colored embroidery or white lace
frills.
One or two waists of fine lingerie,
silk or cotton crepe may be added to
the list, and perhaps an additional
waist or two of the fine light wash
flannels may be useful foE outing
wear. There are many one-piece
simple ffocks being made up for

lin, cashmere and other light weight

on much the same lines, but with a
touch Of more festive color or detail.

Governors Praise the Tango.

Colorado Springs the tango
isn't such naughty dance-if you
want to take the opinion of large
number of governors for it. The
state executives who were in conven-
ton here looked at a tango exflibi-
ton. They looked long and critically.
At the conclusion Of the dance there
were encores. Also more encores.
When the tangoers were too tired to
respond to more encores, the COVER
nors gravely announced that al
though we had nothing like that in
our time. this tango dance looks very,
very interesting" Some of them were
even more explicit in their verbal
praise.

Another extremely girlish model

Very smart checked and plaid ma

often one sees one-piece frocks of
plain material with plaid trimmings.

bad for it and sometimes ruins 1t, but

the lace between layers of tissue pa

leaves of book, keeping a heavy
weight on top Of the book for three or
four days. Then shake the powder out
