NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It 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 / 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 20 new
ideas. we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked
1t and were free Of ills caused by
coffee, Our friends noticed the
change fr4sher 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 cotiee.
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"
Name given BY Postum Co.. Battle

Wellville." in pkgs.
Postum now comes in two forms;
Regular Postum must be well
boiled 15c and Csc packages.

PEDDLERS MUST PAY
ANNUAL LICENSE.

Through the efforts of the Retail
Merchants Association an amendment
to the license law was passed by Coun-
Gil last night which will require ped
dlers to pay an annual license of SD
and they will not be given an opor-
tunity to secure a license for lesser
payment, even if they are here for a
day. This law vii not interfere with
farmers bringing their own products
to town to sell but will prevent buck
sters from Washington selling con-
demned food in this city. At certain
seasons of the year Alexandra is
flooded with peddlers who invariably
victimize their customers by giving
them inferior goods with short meas
ures and weights.
