Postum Food Coffee, but the first morning
II was served to her II was so insipid and
weak that she gave 1t up and went to
drinking hot water, for she did not care
for tea or cocoa
About this time / went visiting, and

finally I asked for second cup and she
burst out laughing and remarked. SO your
folks don't like Postum L was astonished
and said. This is not Postum Is it?' She
sent for the package in order TO satisfy
me and II was exactly like the one mother
