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 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 were free of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-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 Il better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"

the old-time labor In caring for milk
has been abolished, proved by the
separator wholly useless.
The cream Is In much better condi-
ton for churning and of uniform
quality. One of the prime recon-
mendations for the butter maker Is
that her product always may be OF
the same grade.
Few can attain this and only with
the best facilities. The cream gauge
fixes the thickness Of the cream alb
solutely.
The rule for sailing may thus be
as rigid as for bread. The cream can
easily be kept at the same tempera-
ture every time by the use OF the Ice
or cold water. And thus the butter is
always alike, consequently is in de-
mand at fancy prices.
Cream for the table uses Is always
available in the very best form. The
