SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee HabiA.'

The injurious action of coffee on the
hearts of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cot
fee, as that was the principal cause of
the trouble. She writes:
"My heart was so weak it could not
do it's work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
I would never breathe again.
1.-THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop it, but it seemed
could not give it up until was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven. weeks lay there and
suffered. Finally husband brought
home some Postum and I quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly l
got we'll. Now I do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know 1t Is Postum that
helped me. The Dr. said the other
day: 7 never thought you would be
what you are I used to weigh 81
pounds and now weigh 15S.
Postum has done much for me and
l would not go back to coffee again,
for believe it would kill me if I kept
at 1t. Postum must be prepared &C
cording to directions on pkg, then 1t
has a rich flavor and with cream is
fine"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to Well
ville," in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes delicious beverage
Instantly. 30c and SOC tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost per cup about the same.

To Be in Vogue.

To be in vogue in our skirts we must
have a smooth, fat hip look, with a
decided flare at the hem and, il the
figure permits, the fullness should be
accumulated at the sides and fiattened

skirt from the one you wore seven
years ago the dressmaker will proba-
blv accentuate the wavy look at the
edge by a shallow scallop or slight
lifting at front or sides.
