Postum.
"AIy brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles Of
my mother and brother have disap-

place of coffee.
"A sister was i'll nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea The doctors told her she must
leave them alone. as medicine did her
no permanent good.
"Ehe thought nothing would take

her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is a happy little

GETTING GOOD MILK INTO THE CITY.

Copenhagen, Denmark.-Would 1t
not be a relief to you II you knew
where you could get absolutely good
milk, and cream, and butter; II your
milk and cream were guaranteed to
be rich, and pure, and fresh; IL you
could buy brand of butter which was
always up to standard, always had the
same flavor, and the same amount Of
moisture in 1t, was never over sailed
or under sailed, and was always abso-
lutely free from faint of age. Most
Of us In America get good butter and
good milk at times. All of us get
bad butter and milk at least occasion
ally. Over in Denmark there is an
entire nation which is united In
common purpose of producing good
milk and butter. Its success Is due to
team work; the COW does her part,
the farmer does his part, the cream
cry does its part, the delivery man
does his, and the government itself
takes hand in the process. Not very
long ago there was a complaint from
England that the quality OF Danish
butter was falling off. It was treated
In Denmark as II the national honor
had been attacked and every reason
able complaint was attended to at once
by the united action of all concerned,
1t was not a local question, but ma
/ tional one. Primarily Danish butter
and milk is good because the Danish
farmer is scientific in his methods.
But the milk after 1t leaves the farm
Is dealt with by the distributive agen.
Giles in way no less efficient, and sci
entific and businesslike. This Is
where the Danes surpass the Ameri-
cans. and with the result both con
sumner and producer In Denmark have
occasion to be satisfied.
Why American Milk Is High to the
Consumer and Low to the Farmer.
Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, now di.
rector of the government bureau of
rural organization. who at one time
made thorough investigation of the
prices of farm products, says in his
book on the Principles of Rural Eco
Monies" that the milk for which the
