Montessori on her recent tour of America included Battle Creek, the great Pure Food Center, in her itinerary. Speaking of diet for children she makes the following statement (in the Chicago Daily Journal of Dec. 31, 1913): "Coffee and tea should never be placed within reach of a childish hand." Besides being an educator, Madame Montessori is a physician, and bases this advice on her scientific knowledge that an ordinary cup of coffee contains about 2/2 grains of caffeine —a poisonous drug, (also found in tea). In these days of liberal education the average American parent is becoming informed concerning the baneful effects of tea and coffee drinking, not only on the youth, but on those further along in life. How much better to place before the children (and older ones too) a wholesome, nutritious, pure food-drink such as POSTUM Made only of prime whole wheat and a small percent of pure molasses, Postum contains only the rich native value of the grain—good for young and old. Postum is free from caffeine or other harmful substances. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled to bring out its rich flavour and food value. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water—with cream and sugar—makes a delightful beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for POSTUM —sold by Grocers everywhere. rr-■ hw- mmikw ♦ WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG Sfijfeftj TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 4, 1914.

Why Doctors No Longer Claim to "Cure" People A few years ago it was a common thing for the family doctor to say, "I will cure you in a few days." This cheerful prophecy often gave the pa tient new hope and courage, but it is no longer good form. Doctors still "cure" malaria and a few other troubles in which their medicines have a direct or "specific" action on the virus of the disease. In other cases they simply give supporting medicine and keep up the strength of the pa tient until nature effects a cure. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure chlo rosis and other trouble due to thin blood because the have a specific ac tion on the blood, building it up, puri fying and enriching it. This direct action on the blood also makes them the best supporting and strengthening medicine. If you are thin and weak, breathless after slight exertion, if you have palpitation of the heart, gas on the stomach, cold hands and feet, if you are nervous and easily Irritated and show other signs of weakened vitality, try these strengthening pills at once and let the rich, red blood cure you. Get a box to-day at the nearest drug store and begin at once to build up your health. Write now to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y„ for the free book let.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp Itching and falling hair! Just a few applications will prove a i revelation If your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur no one can tell, because It does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.—Advertisement.
