IN MANHATTAN BOROUGH

New York. Feb. 9.-On an income of
between $1,000 and $1,150 a year a
family Of five can live, under ordinary
conditions in fair comfort in the
borough Of Manhattan: and an income
Of between $1,100 and 1920 probably
is necessary for he average family to
maintain unaided a normal standard
Of living in that borough, preserving
health, mind. character, self respect
and proper conditions of family life"
This is what the experience of the

the Vanderbilt tenements has taught,
according to a report issued by the or

n average family, based on its OBJ
servations, the association allows IS
cents for rent and $1.29 for food.
Clothing is given at 43 cents per day
and miscellaneous items bring the

year, for q family of FIVE.

"Mr. Holton." she said. believe me

did not relinquish it. nor did she at
tempt to draw 1t way.
"If you ever hear anything concern
ing me-now or in the future, will
you withhold judgment until-until
you ask me about 1t and have me ex-
plain?"
II PROMISE" replied Holton. There
was a faint pressure on his fingers, a
bright smile, and the next instant he
was standing alone.

Coffee's Weight. on Old Ago.

When people realize the injurious
effects Of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.

hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making a
visit to distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the
merchants Of the place. I noticed a
somewhat unusual favour of the 'cof-
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it that, after
the meal was over. bought package

prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO we'll pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was we'll and
