MEAL-TiME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children Drink?

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often 1t Is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
On, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: II used
coffee many years in spite of the con-
Viction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend I was
served with Postum and determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored. rich
ly colored beverage. Since quit cot
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure / find 1t a great
comfort to have q warm drink at
meals that I can give my children,
with a clear conscience that 1t win
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

among the various contestants for the
republican nomination for president
The trend TO Hughes has been pro-
nounced in the last week. Even
friends of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
here are beginning to admit that
Hughes now stands somewhat better
chance OF winning the nomination than
does the Colonel. They attribute this

he rendered his government in the ex-

Not In many years has so much pop.
ular interest been manifested in case

Admission was restricted to about
100 persons, including representatives
Of the press.
Two Defendants on Trial.
In the formal charge Easement Ia
described as of no occupation and NO
fixed abode. The charge against both
defendants read:
For that they did between the first
day OF November, 1914, and on divers
other occasions between that day and
the 21st day Of April, 1916, unlawfully
maliciously and traitorously commit
high treason within and without the
realm Of England In contempt of our
sovereign lord and king and his laws,
