KNOW NOW
And Will Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable. There's no doubt
about it.
i learned the truth about coffee in a
peculiar way" says a California wom-
an. MY husband who has, for years,
been Of a bilious temperament decided
to leave off coffee and give Postum a
trial, and as ! did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals l
concluded to try Postum, too. The re-
suits have been that while my husband
has been greatly benefited, | have my
self received ven greater benefit.
when I began to drink Postum
was thin in flesh and very nervous.
Now | actually weigh 16 pounds more
than I did at that time and | am
stronger physically and in my nerves.
while husband is free from all his ails.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall continue to do SO.
We have no more use for coffee

Washington. Feb. 15.-EolloWing
Americas lead, it has been learned
that Norway, Sweden and Denmark
have protested to Germany against
it's war zone decree. Though less Wig
orous than the Washington note, the
Scandinavian communications were
said to stand firmly behind the prin-

is acknowledged that the German for
eign office considers the American
note protesting against the proposed
submarine blockade has greatly COM
plicated the international situation.
The imperial chancellor has gone oyer
the outlines Of the note with the for
eign secretary. The position already
assumed is that the American demand
has greatly embarrassed the imperial
government and that it will have to be
made the subject Of a cabinet council.
No reply will be made at present.
It IS understood that the text Of the
message has been communicated TO
the kaiser, who Is at the eastern front,
and that the chancellor will leave at
once to confer with him.
Germany Cannot Change.
Although recognizing the possibili.
ties presented By this latest message
sent by the United States, ii is insist.

that Americans are protecting Ger

the hostile countries and declares that
Americans must be given "the utmost
courtesy and hospitality"
The newspapers all declare that the
acts complained Of have been the work
Of a few misguided individuals" and
are not in any way typical Of Ger
many.
The few officials who have krowl-
edge Of the text Of the note frankly
declare that they believe its tone is
not warranted by the circumstances.
Officials generally insist that mas.
much as England is plainly trying it's
best to starye out Germany, including
its civilian and non-combatant popu-
%lation,' an act Of retaliation will be
justified. 1t is declared that recent
assurances given to all neutrals that
Germany will protect all neutral ship
