Or do you dread going to bed, only to stare, sleepless, at the walls? The difference between sleeping and staring is simply a matter of nerves. W hen your nervous system is in a sound condition, you are certain to sleep well. But when your nerves are worn out and beyond your control, your rest is broken and your awakening leaves you languid and irritable. Doctors know that much of the nerve disorders result from tea and coffee drinking. The drugs in these drinks over-stimu- late, often causing the serious ills which result from disturbing the regular bodily functions. It is for your health’s sake that many doctors now say you should quit tea and coffee. Drink Postum, the delicious meal-time beverage instead! in flavor it is much like coffee. Postum is fundamentally a nerve strengthener because it lets you get sound, restful sleep. Postum is a skilfully-made cereal beverage, and the secret of its popularity is its protection to health and its delicious flavor. Ask your grocer for Postum. Drink this hot, refreshing bever­ age in place of tea or coffee for 10 days and see what a wonder­ ful difference it will make in the way you feel. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.

The New Improved Essex adds gasoline mileage. Oil econ­ omy is greater, although old Essex cars averaged around 300 miles to the quart. Its tires often give 10,000 to 15,000 miles of service. New cord tires are standard equipment and greatly increase tire mileage. Old Essex owners hardly understand how reliability could be increased. Many—hundreds, in fact—report upward
