1t Is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations OF genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original, with no knowledge of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val
liable nourishing elements made d.
gestble.
Such limitations may be folsted on
the public for a short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out Of
business.
Something like 400 of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past 8
years, and practically all of them have
gone the -'long journey" Just lately
a new one has come to life and evil
IDENTIFY hopes to insert itself in public
favor by copying the style of the Post
um advertising in the papers.
This is free country and every
man who makes an honest product
and honestly labels 1t has reason for
some recognition; but the public has
the right to know the facts.
Postum Is the one original and gen.
uine Cereal Coffee, made skillfully
and for definite purpose. 1t has
stood through all the wars of the i'm
itators. has won the approval OF the
Physicians and the people.
People "io really seek to free
themselves from the coffee habit and
at the same time to rebuild the soft
gray matter in the nerve centers. and
thus reconstruct the nervous system,

Is 1t not surprising. therefore. to find

figures, and when cleared and put into
cultivation these lands are as fertile
as the valley of the Nile, producing
heavy crops of oats, wheat, hay, veg
etables, garden truck, fruits, etc. They
are well adapted to hop raising, and

AS stated above, there are at the

logged-off lands ready to be turned
into profitable farms of anywhere
from twenty to 100 acres The man
in the east who is renting farm and
who, year in and year out, can do no
better than to make bare living for
himself and family, should come out
here and invest in a logged-off farm.
He can secure the land, in most cases,

by paying down small sum and the
balance in installments or for share
in the crops. 1t will take but little
capital to get started, and the indus
trious farmer who is willing to put
in a few years of hard work clearing
the land of stumps and developing it
into a productive farm will soon find
himself the owner of a very valuable
piece of property, home of his own
and no encumbrance on it, to say
nothing of being free from the grasp
of the landlord. 1t is fact that log
ged-off lands that can now be bought
for from $3.50 to 500 per acre, about
one-half down and the balance in in
stallments, will be worth 500 per acre
the moment the stumpage has been
cleared away and a house has been
erected thereon for home. Thus,
while the farmer is clearing his land
and also making a living for himself
and family from off it, its value is
rapidly rising. This alone is more

Loeeed-Off Lands in the West End.

This is a subject but little under
stood by the vast army of people in
the east who look westward with a
longing to locate somewhere on Puget
Sound. To them the term ''logged-off
lands" is one to conjure with, and
few of them can have proper idea of
what these lands are until they come
out themselves and investigate.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the section of the state lying west
of the Cascade range there may be
found section upon section of the most
fertile land to be found anywhere,
which only needs the clearing of
stumps to be put under the plow and
yield heavy and profitable crops. Log
ged-off lands are both hilly and valley
lands which have been denuded of
their merchantable timber by the log
ging companies. When once this tim
Der is removed the lands are in many
cases placed on the market at low

than sufficient to compensate the own
err for his first four or five years of
hard work.
If more people in the east under
stood this there would be such an in
flux into this region as would soon
take up every available acre of logged
off land. 1t is small settlers of this
class that we want-men who come to
hew a home for themselves and FAM
lilies, not men who come with piles
of money and gobble up thousands OF
acres of logged-off lands for specula-
tive purposes. Our settlements want
larger populations, and to secure them
each community must let the people
of the east know what there is to be
had in the way of fertile virgin soil,
without any severe storms or inclem-
ent weather.
