Catch of Cod in Norway.

The catch of cod in Norway for the
season just ended is greater than in
any one of the preceding four years.
However, the value of the catch was
about 22,000,000 crowns. as compared
with a value of 100000 crowns for
the 1920 season. The total number of
fish caught in 1921 was 39,000,000; the
1920 catch totaled 3S,000,000 The

DO vOM discriminate at the dining
table-or are you Momghtless?

In thousands of homes,
a line" is drawn at the
breakfast table. Tea or
coffee is served for
"grown-ups" and Postum
for children. But some
parents do not discrirnin-
ate. Caffeine and tannin,
the injurious contents of
coffee and tea, seriously
retard the development of
the delicate nerve tissues
In children.
Consequently, instead
ofrich, satisfying Postum,
children are over stimu-

grow up irritable and

tell you that this is a
great evil and should be
corrected.
Although some par
ents feel a certain justifi-

indulgence in coffee, yet
the harm to them may
be equally serious. It

longer for the drugs in
