TO the fact that Pennsylvania has been

one is Ed Brown, the big, powerful
man who has played center so success

the most popular choice for the Ali

COFFEE SLAVES
Thousands of Persons Don't Know

we eat and drink
Even bad habits seem to become more
respectable with age The coffee habit
has an ancient pedigree but 1t is none
the less disastrous to many.
During the five years before 1 was

II became a nervous wreck and my
stomach was almost ruined. My food
would not digest, I suffered great pain
after eating, and could not sleep an en-
tire night through. My whole system
seemed to be poisoned.
After my marriage I still used cof-
fee and steadily grew worse About 8
years ago my father who had been at
a sanitarium where they used Postum
food coffee, spoke so often and in such
glowing terms Of it, my husband and /
decided to try it. I have been gradu-

never felt so we'll in my life.
I'VE still use Postum, giving it to our
