So the Creator has use for WhiSkey
Tobacco and Coffee to level down the
successful ones and those who show
signs Of being successful, and keep
them back in the race, so that the

left too far behind.
And yet we must admit that same
all wise Creator has placed it in the
power of q man to stand upright,
clothed in the m of a clean cut,
steady mind and say unto himself, Il

man is certain a fool trader" when
he trades strength, health, money. and
the good things that come with power,
for the ~half-asleep condition Of the
~''drugger'' with the certainty Of sick

1t Is q matter each individual must
decide for himself. He can be a leader
and semi-god If be will. or he can go

woman has times when they feel a
something calling from within for them

the spark Of the Infinite is there and
it pays in every way, health, happi-

writer to provide a practical and easy
way for people to break away frcn
the coffee habit and be assured Of q re-

cases where the body has been rebuilt
on a basis Of strength and health u
into the thousands.
