at the dining 
table ? 
I F your mealtime cup of coffee leads 
you into midnight wakefulness and 
mid-afternoon drowsiness (as so often 
happens) why not stop giving the 
promise to pay? 
It is so easy to keep out of debt by 
turning to Postum. 
Postum is a satisfying, mealtime drink, 
rich in flavor and aroma—and with no 
regretful settlements, afterward. 
Sold by 
All Qrocers 
Why not try Postum instead of coffee 
today, and pave the way to better 
health and happiness? 
Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) 
prepared instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling 
water. Postum Cereal (in packages, for those who pre¬ 
fer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) 
made by boiling fully 20 minutes.

pay? How soon must I put in the debt? 
Should I send it to the administrator? 
New York. <j. m. 
Tf the husband and wife had a deed to 
the property as tenants by the entirely. 
tln> survivor takes the whole immediately 
at the death of the other. The husband 
could not alien his interest in the pro¬ 
perty by contracting debts so as to bind 
the wife. You could therefore got a good 
title from the wife, provided the deed 
went to the husband and wife as such. 
You do not state whether the rent you 
speak of was coming from the property 
owned by the wife or not. The adminis¬ 
trator lias no authority over real pro¬ 
perty, except in certain eases where it 
is given him by the surrogate. If rlie 
administrator has advertised for debts 
you should file your claim during the 
time named. It may be filed at any time 
before settlement. N. T.
