Thousands of people suffer from nervous
ness. They are run down and miserable without
knowing the reason why.
They do not stop to think that much of their
trouble may be caused by drinking tea and coffee
which contain the drugs, them and caffeine When
you over-stimulate the system for any period of
time, the result may be nervousness with its
many accompanying ills. You may fail to sleep
properly and your sleep does not refresh YOU as
it should.
Postum, made from scientifically roasted
cereals will help you 70 overcome all these
conditions For it contains only healthfuI SUBJ
stances, instead of drugs, as are found In tea
and coffee.
Postum helps build sound nerve structure,
oy letting you get sound, restful sleep.

Nearly One Half Of
Japanese Budget

Toxic, April 26.-The forty
fourth session OF the imperial diet
termed mediocre during the first
mart of its work, will go into thS
history Of Japan as a memoraDle
session. On one accomplishment
or mistake, according as it shall be
iudged, will this meeting OF ia
mans representatives be CLASSIFIED
as an important gathering. Tne
one action was the voting OF 76z'-
600, 900 yen, or 1877 per cent OF
the nation budget, for the I'M
provement and upkeep Of the jap
anese army and navy. BY thus
voting. as the house Of peers did,
by standing vote, just three days
before the forty-fourth session
ended, the program OF naval ex-
mansion of the miltiaristic clique
of Japan was upheld. BY this vote
there was reason given for the
charge that the budget, as adopt
ed. was the most militaristic ever
adopted by any modern nation In
times of peace"
The Diet ended it's deliberations
on Saturday, March rs, and sun
day, March 27, the official closing
ceremonies were held in the house

certed action for the overthrow OF

I Receive a Strange Letter
Chapter &c

McMasters would make Cissy a
movie star as soon as his reforma-
ton promised to be permanent.
So Rose detailed current history
as manufactured in the studios. 1t
was really on account of Cissy's fan
mail, Rose said. That proved that
Cissy had a fund of popularity which
the producer could bank on to pay
dividends.
My own fan letters had done n
good deal for me. Most of them
were very welcome, some were
astounding, some mysterious, and
once in a while, one was terrifying.
Quite early in my career a letter
had come to me from a far corner
of Brazil. Motherdear, who was nv
only private secretary at the time,
sent the autographed photograph re-
quested. Next the South American
wrote that he was on his way to this
country-and coming just to call
upon mel. He appointed the time
for the interview!
After that Motherdear vas most
unreasonable. 1 had no more free
dom than a convict. Never once was
/ allowed to go alone on the streets
for months. All the men of the
company were pledged to guard me
at the studios. A private detective
hampered me when / went shopping.
The excitable South American was
deported by the government. in the
end. But Motherdear lost pounds
while he was loose in this country.
1 ceased to laugh yer the situa-
ton long before it was concluded.
for it certainly was uncanny to be
the object of an iHfatuation, to be
pursued and neve once to have a
glimpse of the pursuer.
1t was almost as strange to be
continually reminded of the devotion
