SHE QUIT
But II Was a Hard Pull.

It is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such condition as it
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story:
II did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked it
so we'll l would not, and could not,
quit drinking it, but was miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
GUS prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had a
constant pain around my heart until /
thought could not endure 1t.
Frequently l had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. l was gradually
getting worse until finally asked my
self what's the use of being sick all
tie time and buying medicine so that
l could indulge myself in coffee?
so got some Postum to help me
quit. / made it strictly according to
directions and want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. 1t was easy to quit coffee be-
cause l now like Postum better than
the coffee.
"one by one the old troubles left
until now l am in splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medi-
cine, can do all my house work and
have done great deal besides"

Creek, Mich. Read THE Road to

Postum comes in two forms:
Postum cereaI-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack
ages.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup of hot wa
ter and, with cream and sugar, makes
. delicious beverage Instantly. 3Oc
and Soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

the same look of quiet authority; 1t

little personal oddities, meanness and

ElizabethtOwn, Ky.-The Lincoln

din and Larue counties this year, az
both counties already have made ap
plications for state aid and made indi
vidual appropriations for the work
Larue county has made an appropria-
ton to build the unfinished gap OF
about three miles between this city
and Hodgenville and to build a ma
cadam road to the Lincoln farm itself
The Lincoln and Jackson Way from
Louisville to Nashville probably will
be built this year, if the lower counties
will make appropriations for this pur,
pose. Some have already taken action.
Hardin and Hart counties have already
made appropriations and application
for state aid to reconstruct the high
way from West Point to Munfordville.
By the close Of the year there should
be a first-class macadam road from
Louisville to the Tennessee line, from
which there is a comparatively good
macadam road. AS the South has a
number of macadam roads, an automo-
bile route will then be assured to Chat
tanooga, Atlanta and other cities in the
Southern States.

BOYLE WILL ASK STATE AID.

Danville, Ky.-At meeting of the
fiscal court here it was decided to &C.
cept state aid for the reconstruction of
the turnpikes of the county. The pro
rata allowed by law for Boyle county
is $4,000. The fiscal court appropri-
ated $4,000 for reconstruction work
and will ask for a similar amount from
the state. AS the road mileage In
Boyle is small on account of the linn.
tied area Of the county, it is believed
all roads can be converted into boule-
wards in the course of a few years.
The first road to be reconstructed will
be the Stanford and Harrodsburg turn
pike, which is a portion of the pro-
posed Boone Way from Cumberland
Gap to Louisville. The fiscal court
also set aside $4,000 to be used for
the repair of the pixies.
