FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents dc
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble
(The same drug is found in teal

whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.

and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble

continually used as in coffee drink.

"Our eleven-year-old boy had a weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked it and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes it,

Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of not water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.

Now is the season when philanthro-

THE COMMON TOWEL

Without doubt the frequent use of
the household towel by all members
of the family is one of the worst
means Of spreading disease in the
home, beside the filthy practice of
the common use of the towel.
To those who are careful in this
regard, it seems difficult to under
stand how others can be SO careless
and actually slovenly in using the
same towel that is used by all the
members of the family. There is as
much need for legislation against the
common towel as there is against the
use of the public drinking cup. While
public institutions and public build
ings have nearly all put out the filthy
towel and replaced it with paper ones
yet in thousands of homes this prac-
tice of using filthy towels over and
over again will continue. There are
soap that are transmitted to others
in the use of the towel, as well as
the common comb When an epidem-
ic of disease goes through the family
it is often accounted for in just such
careless practices.
In u we'll ordered home, every in.
diyidual has his own comb and his
own towels. This can easily be han
died If the housewife sees that each
child knows its own peculiar towel .
Different style materials should be
purchased. For instance, the blue
and white toweiing can be used by
one, pure white by another, red and
white by still another, and so on. If
the pure white toweling be preferred,
then colored thread Topped in the
end of the towel, or an initial in the
corner may be used to identify the
childs own property. Not only should
the danger of the common towel be
needed, but actual cleanliness should
prompt the child to demand his own
towel. There is nothing so helpful
in this towel subject, as to purchase
the paper toweling. After these are
once used they will not be discarded
for the dirty linen towels so common
ly used. A roll of the paper towels
should be hung in every wash ROOM
as we'll as In the kitchen. They not
only save the heavy washing OF tow
cling but are cheap. A 35 cent roll
will do an ordinary family a month.

keeper who buys the towels, but to
the city woman who must send her

life. The housewife is curious to
know who is advertising for positions
as servants. Working people want
to know who is asking for help. Peo-
pie who own or who wish to buy or
rent real estate are interested In the
pending transfers. 1t is hard to find
class Of people who do not follow
these notices week by week.
Hence 1t is perfectly astonishing
how many answers are often receiv-
ed from a simple little insertion in
the To Rent, For Sale, and Want col
umns. Anything you can do by per.
sonal inquiry is multiplied a hundred
fold by the press.
Some people will put in hours or
days and time worth dollars, running
around and making inquiries haphaz-
ard, when they want to rent a place
or sell some property. Meanwhile b
few nickles or dimes spent in the
newspaper would reach hundred
fold more people Usually the man
whom you expect to interest has other
ideas, while the newspaper brings
inquiries from strangers and sources
that would never occur to you.
This kind Of advertising permits
the buyer to get the best price, be-
cause he learns whether there is to
be any competition. 1t gives the
seller the most advantageous trade,
because he finds whether there is
really to be demand.
In many places farmers are al
ready doing good business through

Using. They are developing a trade
that would rather pay a special price
than buy through middlemen. The
classified advertising is a time saver
