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.
 It 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 en, but rever hurt them.
 A Yorkstate lady says: T used coffee many years in spite of the con- yietion that it injured my nervous sys- tenn and produced my nervous head aches. While visiting a friend I was served with Postum and I determined to get 8 package and try it myself. The result was all that could be de- sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich ly eolored beverage. Since l quit cof- 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 l find 1t a great comfort to have warm drink at meals that can give my children, with clear conscience that it will help and not hurt them as coffee or tea would"
 Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum Cereal-the original form must be well boiled 15c and o5c pkgs
 Instant Postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa ter, and, with cream and sugar, makei a delicious beverage instantly. 30' and 50c tins.
 Both forms are equally deliciou and cost about the same per cup.
 There's a Reason" for Postum.

Fate of Annie Laurie.

The familiar song of Annie Lau- rie," says the London Chronicle, was written by a soldier in Flanders to his ladylove at home The writer was William Douglas, and Annie Laurie was one of the three daughters of Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton.

When hawk-weed first appears, one should ride over the pasture and along the fences on horseback. locating ev- cry patch This is easily done when the weed is in bloom A sack and a hoe should be carried along and every patch of the weed carefully dug up and carried of to be burned. This will not take long and if faithfully attended to every year. there need be little fear of hawk-weed Another good plan IS to salt the cattle only on the patches of hawk-weed. as a heavy application of dry salt will nearly kill the hawk-weed, and the licking of the cattle will help to wear it out Above all things, dc not let the weed go to seed. for the seeds are equipped with feathery plumes and scatter far and wide. If the patches of hawk-weed are too large to be dug out or salted. they should at least be mown early in June. just as the weed is coming into full bloom. using sharp scythe and being careful to clip off all of the flower stems.
