Carter Lake Club
Has Fine Outlook
For Coming Season
Activities at Carter Lake club are In
creasing and praptlcall'y all of the old
membershlp-sU tad: In the fold. More
applications are being acted Jupon at
every meeting 6t the officer' arid the
outlook is now that, before' the opening
day., May, 30, the total -will bo over 1.X.
The worlot adding 4o. the, comforts at
the club house are gothfefjsteadlly forward
and the most5 recent-'Improvement is In
tho form of ;d number of heayy leather
chairs, a Bettee and a large table- from tho
United ' States 'National bank. It was
formerly parf of the concern's equipment,
and wis purchased at a very reasonable
price. Thjs furniture is being fixed up
and will adorn the lobby of the main
building when repaired.
A new set of lockers, where valuables
can be kept, have been put in the men's
and women's check rooms In the main
building. An, attendant will so look after
Jewelry and valuables, affording club
member, an of,ten-wlehed-for convenience.
On of the most serious obstacles to the
betterment of rural schools would be re
moved If the office of county superinten
dent was removed from the turmoil of
election campaigns, Tolltlca rarely helps
schools. Institution and teacher alike are
damaged by the squabbles of present day
electioneering. "No other person In
school work," says the Nebraska Teacher,
' Is compelled to campaign for his election
spending days and dollars of his own, and
then for his re-election, spending more
dollars of his own and weeks and months
of tlmo that belongs to tho schools and
their Interests. If the' position were ap-
polnttvo, as all other school positions aro,
from tho rural teachers to the presidencies
of the highest Institutions, would not tho
interests of tho schools be better con.
served? And would It not tend to estab
lish the county supcrlntendency as a prtxo
to be sought on Us merits, as an exalted
school position?
"If tho position offered greater perma
nency, there would bo greater preparation
for Its duties on the part of thoso seeking
it, and more valuable experience could be
brought to the service of the peopte and
the schools In a fow brief years. Nor
should the selection be limited by state
or county boundary lines, although un
doubtedly tho appointing power would
and should prefer home talent, other
qualifications being equal or nearly so.
Thero Is but little difference between
schools on oppoclto sides of a county
boundary line, and the littte knowledge
possessed of local conditions by a county
teacher should not weigh heavily against
tho superior information and qualifica
tions of another, whose education and
training and experience in other fields
might place him far in the lead of the
home, talent In a very few weeks. But
the "fact once established that a county
superintendent could make a record In
ono county and bo called up higher to a
larger arid more important county, as cltv
superintendents how are, would undoubt
edly place tho county auperlntendency on
a mgner processional plane."

Overwhelming Verdict
A few months ago, a man in no way connected with the making of Postum or. the market
ing of ceffee, wrote to quite a number of physicians all over the country asking their unbiased
testimony in the case of Postum vs. Coffee, i
The following excerpts from their letters constitute an overwhelming verdict
In Favor of Postum
"1 have discarded coffee altogether in
my. family, and Instead uno Postum
which we find . makes a rich, delicious
drink, without any. of tho deleterious ef
fects attendant on the continuous use of
coffee."
"Our family have been users of Postum
for a long; time. We were very liberal
coffee drinkers, but -were conscious that
coffeo was harming us our nervous sys
tem, digestion and heart action so we
quit the coffee and begaff using Postum.
Now we reljBh it far more than we did
coffee, and are all relieved of the old
coffee troubles. An a physician I havo
induced several families to quit coffee
and use Postum."
"Postum when it lg desirable to leave
off coffee on account of over-stimulation
of gastric disturbances."
"Postum has been used In my family
nearly ever since it was placed on the
market, and I recommend it to my pa
tients. It is a nourishing drink. A great
many families are giving their children
Postum in place of coffee with best of
results..'
"I have used PoStum in my family for
years with the most satisfactory result
so much so that we have practically
abolished coffee, and with it the coffee
headaches, nervousness, and lying awake
the best part of the night."
"I drink Postum every morning and
recommend it to my friends who have
'nerves' and indigestion."
"No more coffee for "me. I urn ualng
Instant Postum and advise my patients
to do Ukowise. I prefer it to the best
coffee, and have no more .sour stomach
attacks s I used to."
. "For years I have been uilug Poslura
In the family and advocating it for my
pationts. I consider it to bo exactly what
its manufacturers claim for it. Postum
is excellont In place of coffee where the
latter is contralndlcated. The food value
of PoBtum plays an important part when
compared with coffee."
"Have had many cases that could not
drink coffee on account of its reflex ac
tion of tho heart. Postum always sup
plies, the place of coffeo without the bad
effects."
"I have .used Postum for the past eight
years In placo of coffeo. Defore that I
was troubled with frequent bilious head
aches duo to excessive use of coffeo, and
was then, advised tp use Postum. Since
that time I havo not hnd a single attack,
which effect I attribute entirely to Post
um. I frequently recommend it to others
who experience, equally gratifying results."
"Hardly a wek goes by that I do not
advise some patient with an irritable.
acid stomach add nervous heart to stop
i at opce tho use qf all coffee and take up
the uso of Postum, and always with good
results."
"I am satisfied that coffep Is responsi
ble in n. great degree for the premeture
breakdown of our active men and wom
en. They Buffer from caffeine polaon
ing. Of tho truth of this there is not the
shadow of n doubt. Our common sense
tolls us that the dally swallowing of
caffeine over-stimulating the heart and
brain- will be followed by nervous de
pression, and finally by njoro or less
disastrous results. believe If people In
general would, use Postum aa a beverage
in place of coffee and tea their mental
and phj-slcal condition would bo much
Improved."
In the light of such testimony it would soem the part of wisdom to stop coffee mid uso Postum.
Postum is a genuine food-drink, made of whole whout and n email percent of molnsa'es. Cdnttin& the nutritious
values of the grain, but is pure and absolutely free from the coffee drug, caffeine, or any other harmful substance.
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum must be well boiled to bring out its fine flavor. 15o and 25o packages. ' V "'
Instant Postum a soluble form. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water with sugar and ereani added makes
a delightful beverage instantly. 30e ond 50c tins. The cost ppr cup of both kinds is about tho same.
