KNOW NOW And Will Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee thinker 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 peculiar way" says a California wom- an. My husband who has, for years, been of bilious temperament decided to leave off coffee and give Postum trial, and as I 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, l have my self received even greater benefit.
 ''When I began to drink Postum l was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 16 pounds more than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves, while husband is free from all his ails. ''We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about PostuIn, 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 the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich Read "The Road to We'll yille,' in pkgs
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum-must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum-is soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar. makes delicious beverage h. stanty. BOG and Soc tins.
 The cost per cup of both kinds Is about the same.
 There's Reason" for Postum.

GAS, DYSPEPSIA
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsn' settles sour gassy stomachs in Five
 minutes-Time It!

You don't want slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an uncertain one-or a harmful one-your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; it's harmless ness; it's certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stemachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach troubles has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-keep it handy-get large fifty-cent case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its prompt ness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a reve- lation to those who try it.-Adv.

GOOD NORTH CAROLINA PLAN
Establish Store With Patronage Divi- dends-Farmers Buy and Use Im-
 proved Machinery Together.

After paying unfair prices for our supplies and not getting what we ought for our eggs, butter, etc, we decided to start a store of our own. We bought out a grocer located in the center of our neighborhood. in order to make it convenient for all The following is the plan on which We run it. We sell all, members and non members, at the same price We charge for our goods just what other merchants do. We keep an accurate account of our members trade and di- vide profits according to patronage, writes J. l.. Tunnel of North Carolina in Progressive Farmer We also keep an account of the trade of all widows and let them share in the profits like members We encourage all that can to take stock. We pay 6 per cent in terest for hi-o of money At the end of the first two months after setting aside 10 per cent of profits for a re- serve fund, we had net profit of 12 per cent on every dollar traded by our members
 CO ou SCSt LII Olitl Idl li6I, II you have been spending $500 a year for supplies you ought to have a dividend of S60 year. If you have been pro. viding for a family 20 years that wolld amount to $1,200 to say noth- ing about interest, that some fellow has gotten and is out automobile driv- ing on. while you and your family work hard
 If we have butter, fruit, or any thing of that kind to sell, we take it to the store. The manager finds the best market for it. If we have eggs to sell, we take them there and get just What they net So you see there is no speculation We also buy our fertilizers together in carload lots and save great deal that way.
 Again, most of us are small farmers and not able to own all kinds of i'm proved implements And if we were able, it wGU.S not pay to invest so much in machinery while farming on a small sc2le like most of us do. Therefore, We buy our implements and machinery together. Some buy hay balers, others reapers, etc, and do one another's work, thereby giving us all the advantage of improved imple- ments without any one having much invested, and enabling us to do our work economically In regard to shipping our products, we have no railroad transportation near. and have to ship by boat We suffered loss a long time by unfair captains. Since we organized we can control it. The boat that does our work is owned and run by members of our local. We all patronize it, enabling them to give us a lower freight rate
 l want to say too, that we have the advantages of a telephone in our neighborhood that We would not have had without cooperation We also have a nice schoolhouse with tbree rooms in it, employ two good teach. CTS, and have eight to ten months school a year That we would not have had and could not have had with. out cooperation

New Anesthetic.

A new anesthetic is being used in the treatment of wounded in the pres ent war. It is understood to be re- lated to amalgersine, preparation dis covered, as this, too, has been by NJ. Paulin distinguished French chemist and a pupil of Pasteur. It's action is not local; it operates upon the nerve centers of the body, and produces a state of obliviousness to pain which may last for several hours. It is claimed that by an injection of this fluid into his system the wounded sol dier may be rendered unconscious suf ticiently long to cover the period of his removal to the station. where the first serious treatment of his injuries may be seen to.

not repent in the least, for he saw
