An after the show invitation was
extended last night to the audience
for the Royal Entertainers So by
these tokens tho management would
extend to subjects of Priscus and
the unelect as well a reminder of
joys untested which await the end of
the merry carnivat Hours All day
today the exhibition will be open and
again tomorrow and for a week be
yond As was the case yesterday
during today the program will be sub
ject to carnival conditions
Are there any germs on it was
the sincere question of one good wom
an who yesterday was invited to give
space to one of the yellow and red
posters cf the tuberculosis exhibition
Many others likewise have an idea
that the exhibition is both dangerous
and unpleasant Both ideas are far
from the reality It may be said that
few places in town are as free from
danger as the exhibition There is no
disease on exhibition There arc no
specimens of disease or diseased
parts of the human body The exhi
bition tellsall about tuberculosis but
it dont show tuberculosis

PUBLIC SPEAKER
Advises Postum Instead of Coffee
Some people think they must have
a cup of coffee or tea before attempt
ing any special work some want it
afterwards
The same harmful effects of the
coffee poison caffeine arc sooner or
later made manifest in either case
As a public speaker writes a
Penna man I had been in the habit
of drinking a cup of coffee after my
evenings work
My nights were nearly always
restless or when I did sleep 1 would
awake with a heavy dull feeling and
every movement became an effort
Reaction of the coftee poison My
nervous system eventually became so
unstrung that I was obliged to place
myself under the care of a physician
The doctor advised me to give up
coffee and drink Postum which 1 did
Postum not only assures me a good
nights sleep but nourishes the s s
tern I have used it for a year and
have taken great pleasure in inducing i
several families a our neighborhood
to use Postum instead of coffee i
One neighbor a highstrung nerv
ous woman who had drank coffee all
her life frequently had attacks or
stomach trouble frcm which she sut
i
fered untold agonies Since she drop
ped coffee and has been drinking Pos
tum she is in good health I
A young man who had been used
to coffee three times a day found his 1
nervous system calling for something
stronger He began to use spiritous
liquors and was on the down grade i
He finally decided to stop coffee I
and alcoholic beverages and drink <
Postum Not being made right at I
first he did not ilSte it but when 1
showed him how to make itboil it
15 minutes he liked it i
This young man is now prosper
ous healthy and of good Habits He i
believes Postum saved him from be I
coming a drunkard i
