Children Glad to Have Their Coffee Like Their
Parents.

More than any of the old folks
realize, the little folks at the table
like to have food and drink the same
as Father and Mother
Perhaps you can remember the time
when fork full of the meat or pO-
tato or a sip from the cup that your
Father or Mother was using seemed to
POSSESS some remarkable merit and
flavor.
If children can be given strong,
nourishing food drink such as Postum
Food Coffee it more than satisfies
their desire to have things like the
older folks. and at the same time gives
them a drink they love and fatten on.
A lady up in Cakes, N. D.. says that
since their family have been drinking
Postum the children are stronger and
better than ever before. and are so
glad to think they can have coffee to
drink Just like papa"
The husband and father was taken
sick with very severe attack of
stomach trouble and had to give up
work, being confined to the house for
some weeks, suffering greatly FOR
some time he had been in the habit of
drinking coffee for breakfast. and tea
for dinner and supper. The wife
writes. after reading some Of your

we finally decided to have him quit
tea and coffee and try Postum Food
