Common Sense.

A large Minneapolis manufacturing concern, The Pillsbury Co.,, are en- ploying a unique method in advertis- ing their products, "Pillsbury' Vitos, The Meat of the Wheat" in appeal. ing to the "Common Sense" of the American public.
 Their assertions gre modest as con- pared to most of the cereal food ad- vertisements of the last few years, but they carry ring of truth. Their reasoning is certainly rational; here is some of it:
 "We all believe that Wheat is the best cereal the Creator has given mankind.
 Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more nor less than the white heart of this wheat kernel cut out by steel ma chnery and notwithstanding added nothing taken away-no adultera- tion-no favoring-no coloring--no l cooking.
 This product comes to your table in its pure, white, granular form an appetizing dish for young and old. Easily digested because it retains it's granular form when cooked, never lumpy or pasty.
 A two pound package makes twelve pounds of pure white cooked food and Pillsbury quality too. Two generous dishes for one cent.
 We have no competitors because we are the largest millers in the world and get the best wheat. Your grocer will gladly fill your order for Pills bury's Vitos because he knows he sells you satisfaction. Vitos is put up only in two pound packages air tight. Price 20c. Don't be without it.

wreaks it's fiendish malice on those
who use it.

"My husband and l, both lovers of

very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was

spine to the head.

straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew it to one side. causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
to what caused the trouble, until

fee we drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit 1t
and try Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and in
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back Of my
neck relaxed. my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
