HONEST NEWSBOY RETURNS
GOLD-P|ECE TO WOMAN

Poor but honest" might be the
retold because 1t affords a pleasant
contrast to the many stories one hears
OF the fall before temptation.
Jacob KIaus is a poor little boy
OF Pendleton and he is a cripple be-
sides. With Christmas approaching
he felt the longing for the things In
the store windows common to all
children and he might have gratified
his longing In a fashion far beyond
his dreams had not his ideas Of right
and wrong been stronger than the
temptation to which he was subject
ed.
To earn a few nickles with which
to buy Christmas presents, Jacob
joined the ranks Of small boys who
sell East Oregonians on the street
each evening. Several evenings ago.
Mrs. Briggs Of 712 West Webb street,
bought copy OF the paper from him
and by mistake gave him a five dol
lar gold piece for a nickle. Neither
noticed the mistake until they got
home Mrs. Briggs discovered her err
ror and reported II to the East Ore
gonian. However. she could not de-
scribe the boy from whom she
bought the paper and had small hopes
of recovering the money. She fig
ured. however. without taking into
consideration Of little Jacobs honesty
Early the next morning he reported
to the office that someone had given
him gold piece by mistake and he
returned it. Mrs. Briggs rewarded
him for his honesty and Jacob was
quite happy
It's Just little incident but mighty
pleasing these days.

RANIsHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cor-
fee, even after they know 1t Is doing
them harm, is a puzzler But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
"One day | asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin Of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish, asked
for a taste.
THAT started me on Postum and I
now drink 1t more freely than | did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich. Write for booklet, "Ths
Road to Wellyille."
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum Unjust be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing, but is prepared instantly by stir
ring 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 1t served that way In the future.
There's Reason for Postum
