The chance from warm to cold Is wel
comed by the Ice men, but all of them
are pessimistic, predicting that tho frigid
weather cannot contlnuo long enough tp
enable them to harvest the normal crop
of the natural product.
The Omaha Ice and Cold Storage com

hereabouts and at the offices of this com
pany it was stuted that no matter what
the weather may be, unless the spring
Is abnormally late, there Ib bound to be

It Is said that with continued cold

as soon as Saturday, but not before that
date. Thero Is not enough of this Ice to
begin to fill tho houses of the city wltn

Some of the companies have cut'a little

entirely unfit for anything except cooling

"Coffee and tea should never

Besides being an educator, Madame Montessori is a phy
sician, and bases this advice on her scientific knowledge that
an ordinary cup ot coffee contains about 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 tho baneful effects of
tea and coffee drinking, not only on the youth, but on thoso
(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

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 delight

This rcclpa makes a pint of cough
syrup enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or aa
good cough syrup for $2.50.
Simple as it is, it uives almost Instant
relief and usually stops tho most obsti
nate couch in 24 hours. Tills is partly
duo to the fact that it is slightly laxa
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonio effect. It is pleasant to
take children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, croup, sora
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, eto.
Mix ono pint of granulated sugar with
pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2, ounces of PInex (fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or

Colds are caught In many
ways: Illy ventilated rooms;

stuffy school rooms; offices illy
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
