many of the school teachers will make
an effort to hear him. even if they ar
rive a little late. Club niemoer- will

hoped that Dr. Crawford will have an
audience worthy of him.

Either Way—
Drugs Are Harmful!
If a coffee drinker, have you stopped to think that, with every eup of cof
fee, you are taking from two to three grains of caffeine, a slow, but powerful,
drug?
According to.medieal authorities, caffeine is a cause of nervousness, heart
trouble, indigestion, constipation and other ailments. It's'a cumulative drug,
and what's more, a habit-forming drug.
Sometime, when the 'offee-drug gets in its licks, you'll realize the harm it
does; but wouldn tit be better to avoid trouble stop coffee now and use
Postum.
it is a pure food-drink, made from selected wheat and a little wholesome
molasses, carefully roasted, ground and skilfully blended. This gives it a
snappy taste much like that rich, old Java, but Postum is absolutely free from
caffeine, or any other harmful ingredient.
Postum comes in two forms:—Postum Cereal —requires boiling—lsc and
25c pkgs.
Instant Postum—a soluble .form—no boiling required—made instantly in
the cup with hot water —30c and 50c tins.
The difference is only in the form. Both kinds are equallv wholesome and
delicious and the cost per cup is about the same. Be sure to ask for the kind
you want.
"There's a Reason" for
POSTUM
—sold by Grocers everywhere.
— i
partment, Mrs. Edwin S. Herman,
chairman, will inset in the small parlor
on the second door at 3 p. m. It is
hoped that there will be u lull attend
ance at al! of t;>ese department meetl
-
Nominations will be made at the Civ
ic Club meeting for the full quota of
officers, elections taking place at the
April meeting.

There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in February and March,
but happily there is' also a remedy for
these ugly blemishes, and 110 one need

Simply get an ounce of othiuei
double strength, from your druggist
and apply a little of it night and morn
ing, and in a fevr days you should see
that even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the light ones have
vanished entirely. Now is the time to
rid yourself of freckles, for if not re
j moved now they may stay all Summer,
] and spoil an otherwise beautiful com
plexion. Your money back if otliine
fails.—Adv.
