FOOD COFFEE.
80 BOXES OF GOLD.
Easv Mining for Pin Money,

To secure some desired information direct from the people. it Is proposed to send a trim little box containing 5 gold dollars to each of 30 persons who write the most interesting description of their experience and observation on the following topics:
 How have you been affected by Coffee drinking?
 Do you know any one who has been driven away from Postum because 1t came to the table weak and character less at the first trial?
 Did you set such person right re- garding the easy way to make Postum clear black and with a crisp, pungent taste?
 Have you ever discovered a better way to make it than to note the clock at the time actual boiling commences Cnot when pot is first put on stove). and keep it boiling moderately for full Is minutes, using heaping teaspoon fuls for each cup of beverage?
 Give names and account of those you know to have been cured or helped in health by the dismissal of coffee and the daily use of the Food Coffee in It's place.
 Address your letter to the Postum Cereal Co.,, Linn, Battle Creek, Mich, writing your own name and address clearly.
 Decision will be made and the 30 lit- tie boxes of gold sent out on June 30 next.
 Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship, while the little boxes of gold will reach many a modest writer whose plain and sensi- ble letter contains the facts desired. although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing.
