watching Rogers keenly, IT have a

Rogers.
The latter hesitated an instant, and

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects Of coffee and the change in
health that Postum a bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit Of others.
MY mother, since her early child
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 I was making a
visit to a 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 vas Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, I bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
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 cor
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 well and
hearty.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members Of the FAM
lily, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case Of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing" Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two FORMS:
Regular Postum - must be well
boiled. 15c and 25c packages.

Ratio in conoresx

The ratio of representation in the
lower house of congress at Washing
ton has steadily changed since the
year 1883, when the Constitution began
Its work, the ration was $1,000 to the
representative. In 1910 the ratio was
100000 to the representative. If the
ratio did not rise the members Of the
lower house would in time become too
numerous for business. 1t is for the
purspose of keeping the membership
within reasonable bounds that the ra-
ton is made to keep pace with popula-
ton.
