Coffee drinking?
2. Do you know any one who has
been driven away from Postum because
it came to the table weak and charac-
terless at the first trial?
g. Did you set such a person right re-
garding the easy way to make Postum
clear. black, and with a crisp, rich
taste? -
f. Have you ever found better way
to make it than to use four heaping tea
spoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand
on stove until real boiling begins, then
note the clock and allow it to continue
easy boiling full fifteen minutes from
that time, stirring down occasionally?
5. Give names and account of those
you know to have been cured or helped

name will not be divulged to them)
ADDRESS your letter to the Postum Ce-
real Co. Gtd), Battle Greek, Mich,
writing your own name and address
clearly
Decision will be made on May lst
next, by three judges not members OF

man race. A request to omit name will
be respected.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write, and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company, as an evil
dence of such friendship, while the little
boxes of gold and envelopes of money
will reach many modest writers whose
plain and sensible letters contain the
facts desired, although the sender may
have but small faith in winning at the
time of writing.
Talk this subject over with your
friends, and see how many among you
can win prizes. 1t is good, honest
competition, and in the best kind Of
cause Cut this statement out, for it
