Mocha coffee from Yemen in Arabia, is reputed
to be the best; but the principal supplies now
obtain d from Ceylon, Java the West Indies
Brazil and Central America. No matter where it
comes from, every berry of it contains caffeine
which is slow poison. The more coffee you drink
the more your nerves are disordered and upset
and your digestion injured. Coffee makes you
tidgety and wakeful, then you take sedatives to
quiet you. bad business all around. Break it
i up by using Gran-O instead of coffee, Made
from pure grains it is true food and body builder
as well as a delightful and healthful beverage.
Make this change and you will soon cease to real
ize that YOU have nerve in your system. The
coming table drink is Grain-O. Consult your
grocer. Packages 15c. or 25c. each-one-fourth
