Postum is free from the possibility of harm
for any one, and full of comfort and satisfac-
ton for every one. Even the little children
can share in the delights of hot, mealtime
cup of Postum.
No fears, either that Postum will rob the
night of sleep as coffee so often does. Postum
is a friendly drink for any one any time.
And it's goodl When you've tried Postum
few days you'll wonder why you ever thought
of sacrifice in leaving off coffee or tea. Rich
and favory and satisfying, Postum suits the
taste so that there's no longer any thought
that you should drink it; only the thought
that you want to drink it.
Postum opened the better road and the safe
road for coffee and tea drinkers more than
a quarter of a century ago, and a steadily
increasing multitude is travelling that road
up and on to better enjoyment, better eff
cheney, better accomplishment.
You can buy Postum wherever good food
and drink are sold and served. You can begin,
now, this turn to the right road which you
would so quickly recommend for Brown-by
ordering Postum from your family grocer or
telling your waiter at the restaurant to serve
you Postum instead of coffee or tea.
Make Postum according to directions and
enjoy its delicious flavor; find the change in
feeling after weeks use ofPostum. Let the
family join you in the trip up the sunrise way.
You'd know what to say to Brown-say it
to yourself.

road, and Do It Now:

Suppose the road Brown is on is the coffee
or tea road. Hundreds have had trouble on
that road. Doctors have sounded the warning
for the public, and raised the 'no-trafic" sign
for the:-. oatients-time and time again. The
drugs, caffeine in coffee and THEM in tea, keep
whipping the Understanding to interfere with
sleep, upset digestion, produce high blood
pressure, and to wear down health and eff
cheney by the disturbance of rest and nervous
balance. Some folks go a long way on the road;
some folks don't seem to notice the jolts-for
while, anyway.
But what would you say to Brown about
choosing the safe road instead of the risky oneP
And suppose Brown were you?
Postum users travel the sunrise road
away from the coffee and tea jolts and risks.

Tho words stirring. beating. cut
ting and folding so often used in the
directions for cake baking have very
definite and distinct meanings.
To stir is to mix ingredients. One
stirs for the purpose OF blending the
materials.
To beat is to turn the ingredients
over and over for the purpose OF in
PRODUCING a large amount OF air into
the mixture.
To fold and cut is to actually cut
one ingredient or mixture into an
other with a knife or spoon held in
a verticle position and 10 lift and fold
one ingredient into a mixture in
such way that air already beaten
into the mixture is prevented from
escaping.
Very often the success or failure
Of a cake may be traced directly TO
the method employed in mixing.

SUPPOSE it was Browns case that was
~ up for consideration. Brown is heading
in a direction that has brought trouble to a lot
of people-a direction known to be full of risks.
Brown himself isn't going any too good. There
are days when he hits the bumps harder than
he can comfortably Standard he shows it.
There's another road that Brown could
travel safely-smooth, comfortable, pleasant,
and absolutely safe.
And Brown came to you for advice. And
you'd look at the facts and you'd say: "Why,
Brown, there's nothing to this thing. 1t

\ HEALTH TALK.

Travellers throughout Northern Rus sia during the Czar's reign could not get accommodation in any city. town or village before they had taken a Russian bath. This was to protec ct the community against disease. Every person was required by law to bathe at least once a week in the public steam bath.
 Of course they were but small baths-a little hut with some heated stones that were thrown into a buck ct of water but the public rubber saw that the old and dead skin was removed by hand-rubbing.
 America has the same system of bathing but it is not compulsory. It is a luxury under the modern appoint ments and highly skilled manipuIa- tors But the same health is to be found. The Atlas Turkish bath is an example of the modern natat oriums of America.

The Market Basket
By JESSIE WErzEL KNOTT.

Spring and summer should bring 4 read djustment and simplifying of many of the routine tasks of the household and an entirely new schedule of meal planning, so shat we can have more time outdoors and to entertain our guests
 In most families the heavy meal of | the day is in the evening, and it is a problem to prepare ahiS meal without spending a good deal of time at the task. But these spring and summer afternoons are too precious to let slip away while we are housed in the four walls of a kitchen. The ready-to- serve meal and the one-piece meal will go far to solve the problem.
 Rcady-to-Scrve Foods.
 It is amazing how much Ghe mar lIets have to offer in the way of ready-tO-Serv meals You can find something for every course of the meal from soup 10 dessert. There are bouillon, Eumbos, broths and con sommeS, and any number of cream soups, which can be prepared in an instant A dash of seasoning gives a home made taste.
 Then there are salmon and tuna fish, SardineS and the more eXpen- siVe lobster and crab meats. Do not serve these plain. but make a white sauce highly seasoned with salt, pep De rand paprika and cayenne pepper, and add a few caperS. chopped olives or a teaSpoOnful of Worcestershire sauce Crisp buttered toast. or hard boiled eggs, make a pleasant addition to these crcamed dishes.
 Sometimes make up some baking powder biscuit split them and put the creamed fish between and on top.
 Cooked meat comes in many varie- ties. Ham, corned beef and tongue all have great possibilities for quickly prepared dishes Sliced and served cold with a peppery relish they are very paIatable.
 However. ready-to serve meals will not solve the problem entirely. There must be careful planning. as well. Set the table for dinner you are clearing away the luncheon dishes and then cover il with a nice clean tea cloth. Wa.h you menu planned and the materials at hand so that no Eime will be wasted hunting for vari- ous things, the vegetables washed and put in the ice box, salad dressing g, made and ready, you will be surprised how the meal seems to fly together when you start to prepare it.

of the terms by which stocks are known and what it represents.
 Has Prior Claim. Preferred stock, as it's name inn upon the property and earnings of a corporation in preference to some other stock. It comes next in consld- eration after the bonds and floating debt, if any, of the company. and ranks ahead of what is known as common stock
 Just what form this preference takes differs in different corpora tions, but as rule, the preferred stock holders have the right to be paid out of the assets before the common stockholders receive anything.
 The conditions as to the payment of dividends on preferred stock also vary. In some cases a dividend must be paid, if earned; in other cases it must be paid before any dividend upon the common stock" It may be cumulative" or after the com mon stock has received an equal amount, both may share alike, and so on.
 Sometimes Two Kinds.
 The usual way, however, is to give the "preferred stock the first claim upon dividends up to a certain per cent.
 There is another division known as first" and "second" preferred issues. the nature of their preference being somewhat different from each other, but both having preference over common shares. Sometimes Glass A" and Glass B' preferred stocks are issued. being simply another name for first and second.
 Preferred stockholders usually. though not in all cases. have the right to vote at stock olders' meet ings Preferred stock sometimes holds a greater voting power than common stock.
 >.ext week I will write about "com- mol stock"
 In the meantime spend prudently. save systematically and invest wisely.

 What is still more important even than eating too fast, is that germs plus digested meat are a factor to be thought about
 Dr. Palier of New York, in the course of some experiments to prove the poisonous properties of germs found in the inteStines injected into the abdomen of mice cultures of germs from the intestines contents or mice fed on bread and water, ana there was no effect whatever But the same mice died within 24 hours when injected with germs obtained from a culture of meat to which they had been added. Also a, culture ob- taiTied from the intestinal tract ot a man who was d great meat eater caused the death of a mouse within 24 hours.
 Now the germs here referred to are the bacillus coli conmunis. a germ very common in the intestinal tract and ordinarily not very polsonous or dangerous These are the germs Dr. Met tclhnikoff sought to destroy by pre- zcribing the harmless tactic acid germ CbaciIfus BulgaricuS) which attacks and destroys the colon bacillus Al ter ma king many like experiments, Dr Palier concluded that the non-pols- onous tendency of the colon bacillus is because intestinal contents are or dinariIy deficient in nutrition for this germ and that, in order to become poisonous and dangerous, this colon ba ciIIus must have "a nutrient me dium of dead flesh that IS, undl- gested meat
