ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago l was a great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use ] be-
came so nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
sician consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev.
erage l did not see how l could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end of about eight days
! was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so went back
to the old habit as soon as / got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making wreck of me.
Il heard Of Postum and decided to
try it. did not like it at first, be-
cause, as 1 afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. / found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so l bade farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of "The
Road to Wellville.'
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup Of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
There's a Reason" for Postum.

RIVER MAKES RICHES
FOR LOCAL MAN
Wakes Up After Floods Recede
to Find Himself Owner Of
Much New Land
BY Associated Press

Realty holders or real estate pro-
moters who wake up of a morning and
find that their holdings have been in
creased overnight are few and far be-
tween. Yet one Harrisburg real
estate holder has had this experience.
OF course it didn't take place like an
Arabian Nights dream, in just few
hours. but the increased holding re-
suited after a few Spring rains up
State and river that carried the loam
and sand from the north.
Last year the islands west of Inde-
pendence Island, owned by c. E. Ems
minger, who conducts a garage at
1122 Green street, were two separate
and distinct bodies of land with q con-
siderable space between them. But
when the Spring floods cleared away
and boatmen put over there they found
that what had been two islands before
were now but one. Hence Mr.. Ems
minger is richer by many square yards
of land than he was at this time last
year. And, according to rivermen,
when land is once formed this way
along the islands at this point 1t keeps

sent the added patch of land is only a
barren stretch of sand. But later,
only perhaps in two or three years, 1t
will be covered with vegetation and
become real property which may some
day be of considerable value.
