Transcript

If coffee makes you nervous, switch to post-em. The makers of post-em, the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes, present those two lovable old characters from the hill country, love and abner.

Why can't say something so you without being accused of nagging all the time? Yes, it is too bad when a scene like that takes place, and it's even worse if there's the least bit of truth in such an accusation, Because at heart you want to be pleasant and cheerful, not nagging in short tempers.

But did you ever stop to think that when your disposition does go back on you, it may mean you're what doctors call a nervous irritable, and that coffee nerves may be to blame. But don't take that possibility lightly, friends, because in spite of the many people who can drink coffee without getting touchy and nervous,

many others cannot. And that's why. If you think coffee set your nerves on, Ed, you should certainly switch to postums. For postums, just can't affect your nerves. It contains no casting nor stimulant of any kind.

Your fine postum has a cheering, fragrant aroma, and a distinctive full-bodied flavor all its own. Whenever you dine out, you can get postums at hotels and restaurants. So for your own good, if coffee nerves trouble you, drink postums instead of coffee.

drink it for two weeks long enough to give post-em a fair trial and then see if the change hasn't worked such wonders with your nerves and disposition that you will always want post-em as your regular meal time drink.

And now let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. For friends the Women's Protective Association is determined to get a firm hold on politics in Pine Ridge. It is forced the regular village officers to resign and is put up a ticket of its own to fill the vacant positions. The men have induced love to seek re-election as mayor in opposition to the women.
