COFFEE DWARFS CHILDREN
 PHYSICALLY Y--MEN1ALLY
Prominent school workers assert coffee drinking school children are undersize, underweight and
 backward in studies,

The State Board of Health of Tex effects of coffee upon school chil- dren. Children who drink coffee for breakfast" says one report, "come to school exhilarated, they work strenuously in the morning, and are overfowing with energy and vitality, BUT THEY DO NOT LAST under the school routine; they become fatigued more quickly than the other pupils, and by the close of school in the point of stupidity. They are nervous and therefore unstable in their de- pertinent"
 It has also been found by other investigators that "children who drank coffee averaged from one and one-half to more than four pounds less in weight, and from one-half inch to more than one inch less in height, than the children who abstained from coffee. They were also found to have an average of three pounds less in hand strength than the children who never drank coffee"
 NOTE-Many parents have found it to their children's advantage to give them Instant Postum as the hot morning beverage instead of coffee. This delicious food-drinE resembles coffee in looks and flavor, but is e,l- tirely free from the disturbing coffee drug caffeine, or any other harmful ingredient.

HOW TO OWN YOUR OWN HOME

An event of much importance to people who desire to own their own home will take place in New Britain, Saturday, Oct. 23; Monday Oct. 25, and Tuesday Oct. 26. At this time people with limited amount of capi- tai will have an opportunity to lay the first stepping stone to a home when the choice lots on Lyon, Lim- wood, Columbia, Brooklawn and Nun roe street extentiCn will be offered for sale at public auction and on very easy terms that will suit the man with limited capital and put him in a position to save a few dol lars each month and encourage him to own a plot of ground on which to build a home for himself and those depending and dear to him. If it were not for this method of buy ing, ninety per cent. of the home owners today would still be rent pay CTS. After the first payment is paid one cannot realize the enthusiasm it puts into ones body and soul to ob- tain a home for himself. It is not being an individual pleasure. but one that is given to the whole family and a duty that is due them, for an in- Vestment unexcelled. Wealthiest citi- zens got their first start in life by investing in real estate. Just stop and think how your neighbors first started to make their wealth and happiness. Don't loose this opor-

4 Hint to Mothers
 of Growing Children
A Mild Laxative at Regular Intervals Will Prevent
 COnStipatiOn.

A vital point upon which all schools of medicine seem to agree is that nor nal regularity of the bowels is an es- sential to good health. The inn portance of this is impressed par ticularly on mothers of growing chill dren.
 A very valuable remedy that should be kept in every home for use as oc- casion arises is pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, a compound of simple laXa- tive herbs that has been prescribed by Dr. w. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, H., for more than twenty-five years, and which can now be obtained in any we'll stocked drug store for fifty cents bottle.
 In a recent letter to Dr. Caldwell, Mrs. H. c. Turner, 844 Main St, Buff falo, N. Y., says, "I bought a bottle of Dr. Caldwclps Syrup Pepsin for my baby, Roland Lee Turner, and find it works just like you said it would. It is fine for the stomach and bowels"

 Some further reductions can prob ably be made from the proceeds of property sold and from earnings, all though the necessity for improve ments and betterments is likely to take all surplus earnings until d definite financial plan is effective.

TEN WEEKS IN BED--EMINENT PHYSICIANS FAILED--WON
 DERFUL RECOVERY

I wish to inform you of the great benefit have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kid ney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most emil nent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty four hours I could see that I had been greatly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-Root until had used sev- eral bottle when I really felt that my old trouble was completely cured and I am positive that any person suffer- ing with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this prepara- ton.
 am now in the best of health, bet ter than I have been for ten years or more. do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefited as I have been. It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation.

 on, and every year the hunting brings l with it's spells in the form of hu- 1 man sacrifices. For the benefit of gunners who are planning to go after game this Fall, the following list of don't is given: Don't take any chances. The func- ton of a shotgun is to scatter shot, but be very careful where you scat ter it.
 Don't blaze away in haste and don't get excited. Many a shooter has filled his favorite dog full of lead just because he was over anxious !. Don't point a gun at any person in jest. It is always the gun that i've didn't know was loaded" that goes off and does the damage. The only time to point gun is when you in- tend to kill.
 Don't take every rustic of bush or a bough to be a sure indication of game. Remember sometimes an in- quisitive person has a penchant for being in strange places.
 Don't carry a loaded gun through the street or on cars, trains, automo- piles, or any other kind of vehicle, or leave it around farm houses to have some child playfully blow head off.
 Don't get excited and shoot without making sure that your object is game.
 Don't shoot until you see the rab- bit, and then be sure that he is clear of both man and dog.
 
 with the muzzle pointed toward you
 Don't hunt with anyone hat you gun or lean it against a tree until you get over. Put it through the fence and on the ground business end before.
 Don't hunt withanyone that you know to be careless. Carelessness with three and a quarter drams of powder behind and one and one- eigth ounces of shot in inviting "sure death.''
 Don't load your gun until you are actually ready for business. At all other times it should be empty. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are looking down the barrel at your game.
 Don't use a cheap gun, as it is apt to explode when a heavy charge is used.
 Don't borrow a dog or gun or loan ! either.
 l Don't rest on the muzzle of your gun. Don't violate the game laws. It is
 not only criminal but sometimes very l costly.
 l Don't "hog' all the game. Leave a 1 little behind for the next fellow. Don't rest the muzzle of your gun
 on the ground. A gun muzzle clog
 ged with dirt or mud is a dangerous 1 proposition.
