MESMERlZED
A Poisonous Drug Still Freely lie I'd.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-
tenn makes 1t hard to loosen its grip
even when one realizes it's injurious
effects.
A lady writes: II had used coffee
for years; it seemed one of the ne
cessities of life. A few months ago
my health, which had been slowly fail
ing, became more impaired, and
knew that unless relief came from
some source would soon be physi-
cal wreck.
II was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled so much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.
Finally we saw Postum advertised
and bought a package. I followed di"
rections for making carefully, and
added cream, which turned it to the
loyeliest rich-looking and tasting
drink / ever saw served at any table.
and we have used Postum ever since.
II gained five pounds in weight in
as many weeks, and now feel well
and strong in every respect. My
headaches have gone, and am a new
woman. Ny husbands Indigestion
has left him, and he can now eat
anything"

THE NEW YEARS EVE FATES
What Is in Store for Them
An Italian Custom.

Every maiden wonders what the flu
ture has in store for her, and this is
what she must do on New Years day
to learn her fate:
Turn the pillow at midnight, the
31st of December, and you will
dream of the man you are to marry.
Or let her take her hymn book to her
bedroom, blow out the lamp, open the
book and mark hymn Tin the dark
put it under the pillow and sleep on
it. Next morning when she reads the
hymn she will find its text will ind;-
cate the event of the year.
On New Years eve the Italian maid
en- places in one corner of her bed
a third ashes and in fourth ring.
Upon waking in the morning, if she
sees the ring first she will be married
that year; if she sees the water first
the year will be unlucky; if the
fortune will smile on her;
if the ashes, she will die.
On New Years eve, If a maiden
wishes to know her fate during the
coming year, she must go into the
open air with psalm book in one
hand and piece of silver in her
mouth. She must allow the book to
fall open, and if it opens at the death
psalm she will die; If it opens at the
bridal psalm she will marry, and what
ever else it opens to will indicate her
ate.
On New Years eve, while the clock
S striking twelve, repeat three times:
food st. Anne, good st. Anne,
send me a man as fast as you can
md you will be engaged in Q year.
