One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. 1t is abb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try cup Of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.

of sea-golng bootleggers, indignant
have reported to their various con-
nections that liquor running off the
Long Island coast is no longer the
pleasant and profitable business 1t

increased zeal of police and dry az
