HOW CHILDREN GROW

Children grow by northumberland
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
life-sustaining blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are under-size, UNDER
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emu1sionwhichis pure medicinal nourish-
ment. It sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. Scott's is growing food fo1
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.

Truth, with ominous GOODNESS.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and l both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention TO new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we liked
1t and we're free Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
ehange-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked It better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
