The counterfeit in this case WAS
put out in packages having the red

public have been given this or some
one Of the other various limitations
when calling at the store for the
original Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
These makers Of articles to furnish
grocers with which to ..substitute'
for some original article have little
idea of hygienic or food value in .
Cereal Coffee. Some counterfeits
are offered in place Of Postum be-
cause the package weighs two
pounds, while the genuine package
weighs but one-auarter of q pound.
One counterlele Z-pouno package

ground. It is probably harmless
enough, but no idea Of food value is
there. Postum is made by skillful
food experts, 20 per cent being Sc
cured from the parts of the cereals
containing the albumen and phos-
pilates required by the human body
to rebuild the gray matter in the
nerve cells. This part also pro-
duces the disatase which digests
starch. That's why Postum '.makes
red blood" and why thoughtful peo-
pie use it regularly. Buyers should
look for the red seals and the regis
tered U. 8. trade mark.
