So the Creator has use for Whiskey.
Tobacco and Coffee to ,ovel down the
successful ones and those who show
signs OF being successful, and keep them
back in the race, so that the great field"
(the masses) may not be left too far be-
hind.
: And yet we must admit that same all
wise Creator has placed 1t in the power
of man to stand upright, clothed in the
armor of clean cut steady mind and
say unto himself, II decline to ex-
change my birthright for mess OF
potage."
II will not deaden my senses, weaken
my grip on affairs and keep myself
cheap, common and behind in fortune
and fame by drugging with whiskey,
tobacco or coffee, life is too short. 1t
is hard enough to win the good things,
without any sort of handicap so man
is certainly a fool trader when he
trades strength, health, money, and the
good things that come with power, for
the half-asleep condition of the drug
ger with the certainty of sickness and
disease ahead"
1t is matter each individual must de-
eide for himself. He can be leader and
semi-god if he will, or he can go along
through life drugged clown, cheaS
"hewer of wood or carrier Of water"
Certain it is that while the Great
Father of us all does not seem to mind"
If some of his children are foolish and
stupid, he seems to select others (per-
haps those he intends for some special
work. and allows them to be threshed
and castigated most fearfully by these
Jewelers."
If man tries flirting with these lev
elers awhile, and gets a few slaps as
hint, he had better take the hint or
a good solid blow will follow.
When man tries to live upright,
| clean, thrifty, sober, and undrugged,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator intends he should, happi-
ness, health and peace seem to come to
him. Does it pay?
This article was written to set people
| thinking, to rouse the God within"
for every highly organized man and
woman has times when they feel some
thing calling from within for them to
press to the front and "be about the
Fathers business" don't mistake it;
the spark of the Infinite is there and it
pays in every way, health, happiness,
peace, and even worldly prosperity, to
break off the habits and strip clean for
the work cut out for us.
1t has been the business of the writer
to provide a practical and easy way for
people to break away from the coffee
habit and be assured of a return to
health and all of the good things that
brings, provided the abuse has not gone
| too far, and even then the cases where
the body has been rebuilt on a basis Of
strength and health run into the thou
sands.
1t is an easy and comfortable step to
stop coffee instantly by having we'll
made Postum Food Coffee served rich
and hot with good cream, for tLe color
and flavor is there, but none of the caf-
feline or other rnerve-destroying elements
of ordinary coffee.
On the contrary the most powerful
rebuilding elements furnished by Ma
ture are in Postum and they quickly
set about repairing the damage. Seldom
is it more than days after the change
is made before the old stomach or bowel
troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart,
head or nerves show unmistakable evi-
dence of getting better and ten days
time changes things wonderfully.
Literally millions of brain-worlling
Americans today use Postum, having
found the value and common sense in
the change.
