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:
Il began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork, L
became a victim of insomnia. In a
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, l could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as a
baby.
I'm three months had gained twen-
ty pounds in weight 1 now use Pos
tum altogether instead of tea and cof-
fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit.
Having a little tendency to Dlabe-
tes, used a small quantity of sa1char-
ine instead of sugar, to sweeten with.
/ 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.
In conclusion I can assure anyone
that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there is
nothing equal to Postum"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich. Write for booklet, 'The
Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Unjust be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing but is prepared instantly by stir
ring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary
cup of hot water, which makes it right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
There's Reason" for Postum.

Mexican Revolt

Joseph Tumulty, secretary to the
president, stated that unofficial, but
satisfactory advices had been received
confirming the Huerta ultimatum, and
that Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
had been given his passports. The
American representative was given
forty EIGHT hours to leave the Mexican
capital. The United States govern
ment was given until midnight Mon
day by President Huerta to recognize
Mexico, it is officially stated.
A press bulletin from Mexico City
to Washington stating that the United
States government had been given to
midnight to recognize the Huerta gov
ernment created a great commotion in
administration circles. The gravity of
the situation caused Secretary Tu-
multy to get Secretary Bryan out of
bed.
President Wilson severely repri-
manded Ambassador Henry Lane Will
son and apologized to the British gov
ernment for the ambassadors action
in issuing a statement criticising the
British foreign Office.
The Matin of Paris, France, having
cabled President Huerta that some
anxiety had been caused by dispatches
received there concerning the rela-
tions between the United States and
Mexico, has received the following
message from Mexico City: Anxiety
over the relations of Mexico with the
United States is without foundation
