that coffee was the direct cause Of the
insomnia from which l suffered ter
ribly, as well as extreme nervousness
and acute dyspepsia.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But 1t was. and the time
came when l had to face the fact, and
protect myself. l therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely. and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.
II began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after l took
on Postum. The change proceeded
gradually, but surely, and it was a
matter OF only few weeks before l
found myself entirely relieved-the
nervousness passed away, my diges-
tive apparatus was restored to normal
efficiency, and l began to sleep rest
fully and peacefully.
"These happy conditions have con-
tinued during all OF the years, and
am safe In saying that l owe them
entirely to Postum. for when l began
to drink 1t ceased to use medicines"

Psychology Of Practice.

The question of short versus long
periods Of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. X. 8. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. AcQuisi-
ton OF skill in archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third. forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
THE relatively greater efficiency Of
short periods OF practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits In man. and In
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man, the
length OF practice periods required Is
usually too great for maximum eff
