Transcript

Suppose you were late for an appointment with someone, and when you got to the doorstep, this happened. Oh, you, is it? To not tell when you got here, I thought you were never coming. Well, don't just stand there. You might as well come in.

You know at that point you might well feel you'd rather not go in. Yet if you know, as thousands of doctors will tell you, that many people who are crossed and cranky suffer from what they call nervous irritability, you probably just overlook at it.

However, friend, when you laugh at yourself, you can't be sure that people will overlook it. So think of this. Is coffee nerves making you cross and irritable? There's a good chance I would you know.

Although many people can drink coffee without the ill effects, many others just can't. So if you suspect you have coffee nerves, switch to a post-em. For a post-em can't make you nervous and cranky. It contains no caffeine or stimulants of any kind, and Postam has a cheering, hotening quality all its own.

A truly distinctive flavor that made it the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes. So if you're bothered by coffee nerves, drink Postam regularly instead of coffee. Try it for just a couple of weeks.

We, as no nerves, don't become steadier. See if you don't become more good-natured, thanks to switching to post-em. And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. You know when the winter boom on first arrived in Pine Ridge several weeks ago?

Lumb, who had answered her advertisement for her husband, decided he did not want to marry her because of her seven children. He agreed to give Squire Scam $25 if the Squire wouldn't get the widow out of town.
