"CHlLDREN AND FOOLS,"
"Judge of a Thing Half Done..

This is particularly applicable in cases where persons seriously troubled from the effects of coffee drinking and who take up Postum Food Coffee in its place, attempt to make the beverage with a little hot water and two or three minutes boiling That sort of a lick and a promise" pro- duces drink that is simply exasperating. It is flat and tasteless, whereas the per son who will boil the Postum full fifteen minutes after the actual bubbling and boil ing begins, will have a beverage that is something.
 There is point between twelve and fif- teen minutes boiling, when the character of Postum is changed, the food value is ex- tracted and the delicious flavor, which much resembles the milder and more ex- pensive grades of Java coffee is pro- duced.
 A lady in Salem, Ore, says: 'eWhenever l drank coffee at night I always passed restless, wakeful night. Extreme nerv- ousness and a weak stomach have fol- lowed me ever since I have been using coffee. Finally I got into such a state that my dyspepsia took the form of spasms and heart weakness.
 T suffered intensely, and when a phy- sician was called, he inquired, among other things, if I drank coffee and insisted that l leave 1t off. I did so and took up tea which I found almost as bad. Finally hus- band brought home a package of Postum and we tried it (strctly according to direc- tons, for we believe In the adage that children and fools judge of thing half done.)
 "The new coffee was delicious and from that day until now (which is year) it has been our only drink at meals. My dyspep- sia, spasms, etc, are a thing of the past. My husband had suffered some years with bilious headaches and indigestion, but dur ing the past year, on Postum Food Coffee, he has entirely recovered his health ani gained much in weight. Our friends fro quently comment on our improved appear ance and change in complexion" Name of writer supplied by Postum O., Battle Creek, Mich.
