WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.

Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. l determined to give
them Postum instead OF coffee when
they visited me. so without saying
anything to them about it, l made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each n passed up her cup to be re.
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand Of
coffee / used. l didn't answer her
question just then, for / heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos.
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked so we'll at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked 1t was because it was properly
made.

Sudden Death

The close connection between the

nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
