CHANGES POSTAL GLASS
CANADIAN POSTAL DEPARTMENT.
MAKES RULING WHICH HITS
!. MANY AMERICAN MAGAZINES.

BY a ruling Of the Canadian postal
authorities practically all Of the lead
ing American magazines and periodi-
Gals, including several Minneapolis pub.
LEGATIONS, are excluded from the second
class mailing privilege which they pre-
viously enjoyed and will hereafter be
compelled to pay a considerably higher
rate of postage on issues sent into
Canada.
American publications enjoy large
circulation In Canada. Some of the
better-known eastern monthly and
weekly publications have many thous-
ands of subscribers in the provinces.
One affected Minneapolis publication
has a Canadian subscription list of
over 5000, and the increase in the cost
of postage will be considerable. p.
In addition to demanding, a higher
rate. of postage, the Canadian post
service, also has ruled that stamps
must be affixed to each magazine at
the rate OF two ounces for l ceRt. The
second class rate of l cent a pound,
previously enjoyed, offered an advant-
age OF 10 cents a pound a considerable
item when the immense volume Of bust
ness of this sort is considered.
For several months the Canadian Of
fcials have been listing the American
publications entering the Dominion, adj
ultloHs DeIHS Hlaue eacn mOnLn. Inc
last ruling announced in Minneapolis,
Saturday, included the Minneapolis
| publications. No particular rule ap-
pears to have been followed in ordering
exclusions. The ruling and the selec;
ton are both said to be entirely arbi
trary, but possible because Of some
loophole in the postal treaties between
the two countries. There is practically
no chance Of retaliation as few publ
cations of the class excluded are pub
| lished in the Dominion.

Colorado Climate and
Doctors Failed 10 Cure

An eloquent and convincing tes-
timonial from MIR. S. L. Davidson
of Denver, Colo, father of the lit
tie group of handsome, sturdy
children whose pictures we pub
lish.
MIR, Davidson and his family were
under the care of the best doctors IN the
east and spent much time and money IN
futile attempts to regain their health.
They finally came to Colorado, thinking
the climate would be beneficial, but
were again disappointed.
Finally Dufy's Malt Whiskey was
tried. and proved successful after every
thing else had failed.
It is necessary to read Mr.. David
sons letter and study the picture to ap-
preciate his gratitude for what Duny
has done for himself and his family.
He says: - 3"

Malt Whiskey has done our 1amlly more
good than ten years OF meolcal attend
ance. We were under the care of the
best doctors in the East and spent tlme
and money endeavoring to secure some
respectable degree Of health. Finally we
came to Colorado. as we thought the
climate would do Us some good. In this
we were disappointed, end I was on the
verge of returning East when my atten-
ton was attracted to Duffys Pure Malt
Whiskey Personally I have not used
liquor in any form, but so much is said
in behalf of your whis1ley, when used as
q medicine l determined to give up doc
tors and take Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key.
From our experience 1 may state that
your Malt Whiskey will bring health to
any invalid except when surgical oper-
alton is necessary. AS our picture will
prove, we are all happy and in the best
Of health.'-S. L. DAVIDSON, Denver,

its use when nature protests, by heart

nervous prostration. The remedy is OBJ

all ordinary coffee, must be discontin-

tinue in spite of any medicine and will
grow worse. y.- ...

son is one of the weak ones and says
I can't quit' you will have discov
cred one Of the slaves Of the coffee i'm
porter. Treat such kindly, for they
seem absolutely powerless to stop the
gradual but sure destruction Of body
and health.
Nature has a way of destroying a
part Of the people to make room for
the stronger. It is the old law Of 'Ethe
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 investi-
gator 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 a low grade Of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
100000 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
$4,000 to any rooster or importer Of
oIdfashioned 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 importers
themselves are cordially invited. Both
