A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask him if coffee is a cause of con-
stipation, stomach and nervous trou-
bles.
Il have been a coffee drinker all my
life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous prostration, the doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that would have to
give up coffee.
Il got so weak and shaky l could
not work, and reading an advertise
ment of Postum asked my grocer if
he had any of it. He said, Yes and
that he used it in his family and it
was all it claimed to be.
80 l quit coffee and commenced to
use Postum steadily, and in about two
weeks l could sleep better and get up
in the morning feeling fresh. In about
two months / began to gal2 flesh. l
weighed only 14e pounds when 9om-
menced on Postum and now weigh
167 and feel better than l did at 20
years of age.
Il am working every day and sleep
well at night. My two children were
coffee drinkers, but they have not
drank any since Postum came into the
house, and are far more healthy than
they were before" Name given by

JAPS KNOW NO PROFANITY
Their Language Contains No "Swear
words" Unfortunately So Conn
mon In the West

The Jap is always polite, but once in
q while he slips from grace-and when
he does he Is up against it, for there
are no swearwords in the Japanese
language, says a writer in Leslie's
Weekly. When a Japanese meets you
he bows three times and takes off his
hat, but does not shake hands. When
he greets you his first concern is
about your ancestors and next about
your stomach. 1t would be almost an
open insult for one Japanese to meet
another without asking h1ln how his
stomach Jared. On the third bow he
asks: This morning, how is it with
your honorable inside?" AS you come
up on your third bow you answer to
the effect that the place mentioned is
doing as well as could be expected
and in turn ask him what news he
has from the front. Then he lifts his
hat again and says: Your delightful
head this morning, hope it have no
commotion." When you tell him that
you are pleased to report that it feels
well this morning he asks about a
few generations of honorable ances-
tors and then you are free to take up
the weather.
Even though they are deliberately
polite, once in a while one Japanese
will get mad at another. Their anger
kindles slowly at first, finally tanning
to a blaze that knows no staying. But
even though there is a torrent of emo
ton seething in his soul there are no
words to give it vent; it keeps surging
harder and harder until it throws
aside all restraint and gives up all
idea of decency by putting into one
phrase all his bitterness and swapping
squarely into the other mans aston
ished face the worst thing that can be
said in the whole language: Your
stomach is not on straight" This is
the final insult; nothing more can be
added-he has cast the glove. There
is nothing left for him to do but to
give his enemy cutting look, turn on
his heel and haughtily clap-clap away
on his wooden shoes.
