BAKERS ICE WATER.
Cereals Mixed Therein.

Not all the harm said to come from iced
tea is caused by the cold. Many persons
who suffer from stomach and nervous dis
orders, find great relief by abandoning tea
and coffee entirely. 1t is a common prac-
tice of the bakers who work all day over
hot stoves at the Postum Cereal factory at
Battle Creek, Mich, to stir cereals into the
jars OF ice water. Experience proves that
very cold water can be used quite freely in
this way without the i'll effects likely to fol-
low the free use of plain ice water. This
should teach lesson. If one must have
iced drinks at meals during the hot weather,
take all the advantage possible and use
Postum Cereal, the grain coffee, iced with
sugar and few drops of lemon juice. This
gives delicious cooling drink which is food
in liquid state and very nourishing and
strengthening. Postum will agree With the
weak stomachs that suffer from tea or cof-
fee, and is great nerve builder, taken
either hot or iced; try it.
There is but one genuine original Postum
Cereal coffee, with multitude of limitations
offered as ''just as good"

Z. That Is to say, an ounce of gold is
worth today nearly 80 ounces of silver.
s. Yet owners of uncoined silver want us
to accept 1t for free ana unlimited coinage
at the proportion of 16 ounces of silver to 1
ounce of gold.
FIFTH.
1. The effect would be to flood the coun-
try with silver dollars worth SO to So cents.
2. When the government was founded
the ''daddies" believed and intended that
fifteen ounces of silver would purchase as
much as one ounce of gold, or that fifteen
ounces of silver would discharge debt
which one ounce of gold would discharge.
8. Today one ounce of gold will purchase
as much as 32 ounces of silver. II we
coined silver at 10 to l, therefore, we would
be forcing On ourselves dollar of pur-
chasing power or debt'paying power of only
one half the present dollar of our currency,
all its dollars being kept up to value of
100 cents each by the existing gold stand
ard.
4. Free coinage of silver would put us on
the silver standard with China, Japan and
other countries in which labor is in practical
serfage, and civilization is scarcely begun.

Keep it Before the Public.

The American silver has never been de-
monetized.
There was no crime against silver In 1878.
The act of 1878 merely discontinued the
coinage of standard silver dollars.
The coinage of silver dollars was resumed
In 1878 and has continued ever since.
More silver dollars were coined by the
United States minis In the first six months
of 1895 than were coined by the United
States in the first sixty years of the present
century.
From 1902 to 1884 all American silver
dollars were coined at the ratio of Is to L.
Since 1884 they have been coined at the
ratio of 10 to 1. The change in the ratio
was made because of the change in the mar
ket value of silver.
The American silver dollar has always
been and is now legal tender for all debts
public and private, to any amount.
No silver standard country has a stable
government.
No silver standard country has its govern
ment securities at par.
In every silver standard country the great
mass of the people are poor and ignorant.
In no silver standard country is labor well
paid.-Omaha Bee.

5. Thus We went to the single gold stand
ard. On which we have been down to the
present time.
9. Dropping the silver dollar legally from
coinage in 1878 was only making mere
record of what had been actually true from
1884. Silver declined to be coined during
that entire period except in small quantities.
T. The whole amount of silver coined
from the foundation of the government to
1878 was about So, OOo 600, although its coin
age was free and unlimited.
THIRD.
1. From 1878 to July 1, 1896, under linn
tied silver coinage we coined, in full legal
tender silver dollars, S429, $50, 9l6, at the
ratio of 10 to 1.
2. In the eighty-five years prior to 1878
the whole amount of silver coined by the
United States under free silver coinage was
S222, 5s5, 921.
3. In the eighteen years from 1878 to 1896
the whole amount of silver coined under
limited coinage was SAT-, 927,72
A. More than $27, 900 more of silver
was coined in eighteen years of limited coin
age than during the eighty-ive years of free
silver coinage.
5. All the silver dollars in our currency
are full legal tender at 100 cents each lex
cept for redemption of gold certificates,
which are not legal tender.)
6. Subsidiary silver (half dollars, quarter
dollars and dimes) are legal tender to the
amount of $40 in any one transaction.
Z. The total limited legal tender silver
coined is $179, 566, 2ss 60.
s. Total silver coined by the United
States down to July /, 1896, 1896, AGA, S44. 10.
FOURTH.
1. The reason new demand for free
coinage of silver by the United States has
arisen is, that owing to increased produc-
ton, caused chiefly by improved methods of
mining, and better facilities for transporta
ton, output of silver became SO large as to
diminish its value in relation to gold.
2. Down to 1878 silver was more profta-
bic to export than to coin, and that year
only $293, 600 was offered for coinage in the
United States.
8. In 1856 the worlds production of
silver was 81, 100000 ounces; real ratio to
gold, 5.3S to 1.
4. In 1876 the worlds production of sill |
yer was 67,753, 900 ounces, or more than |
double. Ratio to gold, 17.SS.
5. In 1886 the worlds production of silver
was 90, 276, 900 ounces, trebling that of 1856. |
Real ratio to gold 20.7S.
6. In 1895 the worlds production of silver |
was l65, 600, 900 ounces, or more than five
times what it was in 1856. Real ratio to |
gold. 31.56

FACTS ABOUT SILVER.
Cut This Out, Put It in a Business En-
velope and Garry it in Your Pocket
for Ready Reference.

FIRST.
1. Silver has always been measured by
gold.
2. That by which something else is meas
ured is the standard of value. The number
Of ounces of silver an ounce of gold would
buy has always been the ratio.
3. Like all other values, the ratio of
silver to gold has been controlled by supply
and demand.
4. When the government was founded
The commercial or true ratio was believed
10 be Is to 1.
5. At that ratio silver was admitted free
and unlimited to the mint. Gold dollar,
24M grains fine gold; 249lx15 equals 37l4
grains fine silver, the ''silver dollar of the
daddies."
6. The intent and belief of the "daddies"
was that 3714 grains of pure silver would
buy as much of anything as 24% grains of
gold would buy.
Z. Or that Is ounces of fine silver would
pay as much debt as one ounce of gold.
SECOND.
[. The ratio of Is to 1, fixed by law, re.
NAMED actually correct but very short
time.
2. Owing to the admission of foreign coins
which were inferior, no American gold or
silver coins circulated. Coinage of silver
dollars was suspended in 1904, and was not
resumed until 1920. Then 1000 were
soined.
8. In 1884 the ''dollar of the daddies"
ceased to exist. The weight of the silver
aSilar was changed TO 412X grains. This
altered the ratio to 10 to 1.
4. Silver then became more profitable to
export than to coin.
