EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex.
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about 1t by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out OF coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
My wife was victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss OF ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
ave knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as If by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou-
BILE relieved, appetite improved and.
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration,
as it all happened so quickly. Each
day there was improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle OF this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos

Suffering in the little community
was intense during the first winter.
There were only two frame houses.
Firewood had to be carried from three

died from starvation. and the other
three were too weak TO pull even an
empty wagon, Mr.. Jackson continued.
Yet the little group managed to keep

hardships were more easily met and
overcome. Now, In addition to having

From the inception of the settle
ment Jackson and HIS colleagues tried
to advertise their movement for a Ne
gro farming community IN such a way
that white people would not hear
about II and come In and take up the
land where It was hoped that colored
farmers would settle. These efforts
were only successful IN measure.
and many OF the best locations were
taken Up by white settlers. AT the
same time Mr.. Jackson speaks with
considerable satisfaction of the type
Of white man who came into the com
munity. and Of the fact that most OF
them have shown n willingness to sell
out their holdings at reasonable valu-
ations to prospective Negro settlers.
Owing to the laws governing tho
taking up of homestcads IL was not
possible for the settlers TO gather to-
gether and clear one common plot for
cultivation. Instead, the method OF
cooperative help used was for a
group to collect on the homestead OF
one settler after another and clear
away enough land on each claim to
start the prospective owner. In this
way each colonist soon had under cul.
