No doubt exists about the fact that coffee
contains caffeine, drug which doctors prescribe
as an emergency stimulant for the heart and
nervous system; and many coffee drinkers know
from experience that for them, coffee causes
nervousness, headache or stomach trouble.

when you can lave a safe meatime drink,
such as Postum?
You will like the delicious flavor of Postum.

Redwood County Still Has Much Do Achieve Great Daymg Success
High School Team
Defeats Gaylord
LONG END OF Is TO 13 SCORE
COMES TO LOCAL BOYS,
WEDNESDAY EVE.

Last Wednesday evening Gaylord
High School suffered defeat at the
hands of the local high school boys
at the Armory. The score, 18 to 13,
indicates in some measure the quality
OF the game which was fast ami
cleanly played throughout.
Gaylord started the scoring when
l.. Chambard sank a pretty shot
through the nets from past the cente--
OF the floor. Redwood Falls redoubled
their efforts and good passing and the
Redwood fighting spirit resulted in
three baskets by BoDzin and Hosken.
With the count and against them
Gaylord started a dribbling offense,
led by Capt. Lichtenigger which the
ing and which resulted in two baskets
thereby causing 6 and 6 tie. Cole
dropped in free throw as did Huesl-
kauips for Gaylord and Bobzin shared
another field goal as the half ended
Redwood at the long end of a 9 to Z
score.
The second half was almost a du-
piicate of the first. Although never
in the lead Gaylord was a constant
menace to the Redwood aggregation
who were compelled to set fast
pace to maintain the advantage they
held.
Capt. Art Manning was not in the
Redwood lineup due to previous i'll
ness but he was on the sidelines in
uniform ready to enter the fray if
necessary.
Capt. Lichtennigger was without a
doubt the Gaylord luminary. Besides
being responsible for ten of his
teams points he played one of the
best floor games seen here this sea-
son.
1t is difficult to choose any one star
among the Redwood players. All of
them played hard and clean. Englund
played his usual good defensive game
while Corbett, Hosken and Bobzin
carried the ball far into the Gaylord
defense time after time.

Al. Jaehning Buys
Brothers Store
GEO. A. JAEHNING SELLS IN.
TERESTS In HARDWARE BUSI-
NESS BECAUSE OF ILLNESS.
TRANSFER MADE MON.
BUSINESS GROWN TO BE ONE
OF LARGEST IN THIS
SECTION OF STATE.

A dissolving of the partnership of
the Jaehning Brothers Hardware
Company took place Monday, Alfred
Jaehning taking over the interests OF
his brother George A. Jaehning in the
stock, fixtures and good will Of the
business which is one of the larges.
hardware businesses in this section of
minnesota. This dissolution was mad..
necessary by the illness of George
Jaehning who has been i'll for the past
two years and is unable longer to
continue the strain connected with the
business. The firm will hereafter be
known as the Jaehning Hardware.
Papers have been signed and the
transfer of property has been made.
The Jaehning store has been big
factor in Redwood Falls business life
since it started here nearly thirty
years ago. At that time A. c.
Schmahl was the senior partner, the
Jaehning Brothers, George and Al
fred, owning together half interest.
George became Immediately active in
the business while Alfred had charge
OF the Wood Lake Creamery which
the two brothers also owned and
operated. Later the boys bought the
interests of Mr.. Schmahl and George
Continued the management OF the
store. Five years ago the creamery
at Wood Lake was disposed OF and
Alfred moved to Redwood Falls, tax
ing an active part in the management
of the store. During the past few
years the store space has been prac-
tlcally doubled and the stock lncreas-
eo until now the store is one OF the
most complete and best equipped to
be found in any town of this size.
This increase in the business Al
fred Jaehning states is due to the ex-
cellent management and the untirinG
IaIor of his brother who carried the
!aroe share of the burden during tne
aarlv years of the. business, while Al
fred was at Wood Lake. George mas
aiways been tireless worker, man
of shrewdness and ability and OF sup
stantial business qualities which maui
for success. With these characters
Ties he possessed an overpoweflng
energy which led him often TO WORK
far beyond his strength. Mucn o.
his present poor health is traceaoie u
his over-anxiousness to make a pig
success of the business. Since ms Ill :
ness Alfred Jaehning has carried 1or-
ward the business with the same ac-
,;vitv and has met with marked sue
cess even in these times which nave
been characterized by financial depres'
sion,
