INSIDE THE GROCERY.
Some Facts Made Known.

1t is often thought that grocers really
have very little care regarding the faod
value Of the articles they sell, but the
real facts are that grocery keepers of
the right sort are extremely particular
as to what they recommend.
One of the fraternity relates a tale.
The highest priced coffee on the mar
ket I introduced to my customers and
used myself. began to have bilious
attacks and after a little observation
attributed them directly to coffee. Ev-
cry time I left off drinking it I got bet
ter, but I felt the need of a warm drink
for breakfast.
Along in Sc a wholesale grocer urged
me to put in some Postum Food Coffee
in my store, which I did with c0nsid-
cradle misgiving, for, at that time, the
now famous Postum was not so we'll
known.
He urged me to try it myself, which
did, and was Disguised with the fat
tasteless beverage; so WAS my wife.
remembered the wholesale grocer said
something about following directions
carefully. so 1 took the package and
studied it. I at once discovered that
we had not boiled it long enough. only
three or four minutes. but il must be
boiled fifteen minutes at least; so we
treid it again, with the result that we
got q perfect coffee, q delightful and
beautiful beverage I have con-
tinued the use of Postum in my home
ever since. We use it for breakfast
dinner and supper
MY bilious attacks quickly left and /
am free from them altogether. I began
TO explain to my customers something
OF the value OF Postum Food Coffee and
now have a very large trade on it,

1t is stated that the new commissioner
will probably make but very few changes
in the staff of his office. There are but
two important positions in the department
not covered by civil service reghla irons.
These are the two deputy commissioner

Mr. Kelly was also in the service before
he was promoted to his present position.
