The BRITISH ARMY
Obtains Coffee direct From the Plants


The British government formerly
brought the coffee intended for the army
direct from the coffee plantations in Java
and the term "Old Govt Java is famil-
liar to all.
Mr.. P. NJ. Hsnney, now manager Of the
grocery department Of the great house
Of Siegel, Cooper & Co, Chicago. was To-
Gated IN Java for about nine years, pur-
chasing coffee for Her Majesty's troops,
and his ability to judge Of the quality
and flavor Of coffee win hardly be ques-
toned.
Experts of tea. coffee. tobacco and
whisky are not always free users OF the
article they judge so keenly Of. Indeed
the reverse is frequently true.
In Mr. Hanney's family, Postum, the
health coffee made by the Posteum Ger
cal Co., Lin. OF Battle Creek, Mich. Is
used in place of coffee. The immediate
cause being that the wife had trouble in
digesting the coffee, and Mr.. H. know
ing that the grain beverage which looks
so much like coffee and which fits the
coffee drinkers taste, was a pure and
nourisiling drink, introduced il to his
own family with the result that the old
ailments which were directly attribute
BILE 10 coffee drinking, have materially
disappeared.
Proper adjustment Of food and drink
means good bodies. clear minds and tie
ability to push TO the front and make
success of life, while those who insist
upon using such dietary articles as they
know check digestion and impair the
health, will ,ag in the race for prosper
ity. The law of the survival Of the fit
test is plainly marked.
