The Coffee Debate.

Please remember we never say or.
dinary coffee hurts everyone.
Some people use It regularly and
seem strong enough to Withstand its
attacks. but there is misery and dis
case In store for the man or woman
who persists in its use when nature
protests, by heart weakness, stomach
and bowel troubles, kidney disease,
weak eyes or general nervous prostra-
ton. The remedy is obvious. The
drug caffeine. contained In all ordinary
coffee. must be discontinued absolute
ly or the disease will continue in spite
OF any medicine and will grow worse.
1t is easy to leave of the old-fash-
ioned coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee. for in It one finds a pleasing
bot breakfast or dinner beverage that
has the deep seal brown color. chang
Ing to rich golden brown when good
cream Is added. When boiled long
enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not
that of rank Rio coffee but very like
the milder. smooth and high-grade
Java, but entirely lacking the drug
effect of ordinary coffee
Anyone suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely de-
pend upon some measure OF relief by
quitting coffee and using Postum Food

discovered one OF the slaves of the cof-
fee importer. Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction of
body and health.
Nature has way of destroying a
part of the people to make room for
the stronger. 1t is the old law of "the
survival of the fittest" at work, and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people. not all. but
an army large enough to appal the in
vestigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
OF roasted peas. beans or corn. and
mixed with low grade of coffee and
that 1t contains no nourishment
We have previously offered to wager
$100,000.00 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager
and they will not.
We will gladly make a present of
s25 100000 to any roaster or importer OF
old-fashioned coffee who will accept
that wager.
Free inspection of our factories and
methods Is made by thousands of peo-
pie each month and the coffee import
ers themselves are cordially 91vited.
Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are abso-
lutely pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula of Postum and the an
alysis made by one of the foremost
chemists of Boston has been printed
on every package for many years and
is absolutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum

great many people injure their eyes

'rhere are so many styles and sizes of
lamps that it is not difficult to find just
what is wanted in that line. d
medium-sized lamp Is preferable TO a
very large or a very small one for gem
eral use. A glass bowl is better than
metal one, for there is little danger
of running 1t over when it is being
filled.
Some lamps have an opening near
the centre on top. so the burner need
not be removed for filling. Be sure
the base is large and heavy enough
to keep it from turning over easily.
Get the best grade of burners. for
there is more difference in durability
and quality of light given than there
is in price. Be sure the wick fits and
do not sew or pin the new wick on to
the old one. The wick acts as sort
of pump, and there should be nothing
to interrupt the flow of oil.
The tall standard lamps in such
common use are dangerous, unless the

Of exquisite pain.
II was nine years old. My brother
was twelve, and with superior strength
and determination he overruled my de-

home. The trouble arose from the fact
that we had tallowed the boots the
night before and the tallow had hard
ened. 1t was necessary to suffer until
the warmth Of the foot melted the tai
low and made the boots less torture

ChRAstmma Presents a Subject De-
mRnding Serious study.
Giving Christmas gifts Is almost a
science. II Is certainly a study for one
who really wishes to give and not dis
tress and embarrass. No one is more
helpless than the woman who receives
an utterly useless and undesirable gift.
She Is fairly forced into falsehood and
ID obliged to express gratitude which
she does not feel.
The woman who has a green parlor
and receives blue rug, or the woman
who has blue dining room and re-
ceives a set OF dollies embroidered with
purple viOlets, or the woman with a
sallow complexion who Is given q deli
cate pink shawl, Is actually made to
sin against truth. She feels, II she Is
OF naturally grateful and tender dis
position, that she must express thanks
which she does not feel. Then, ten
chances to one, II II Is not struggle
for her not to pass along those useless
gifts next Christmas and fairly in
volve herself In a mesh of deceit, she
goes about terrified lest by any un-
foreseen chance the first giver should
discover the gift in the hands of the
second recipient.
