The Coffee Debate.

The published statements Of a num-
Der Of coffee importers and roasters in
dicate a ''waspy" feeling toward us, for
daring to say that coffee is harmful to
a percentage of the people.
A frank public discussion of the sub
ject Is quite agreeable to us and can
certainly do no harm on the contrary,
when all the facts on both sides of any
question are spread before the people
they can thereupon decide and net in
telligently.
Give the people plain facts and they

We demand facts in this coffee dis
cussion and propose to see that the
facts are brought clearly before the
people.
A number of coffee importers and
roasters have Joined a movement to
boom coffee and stop the use of Postum
Food Coffee and in their newspaper
statements undertake to deceive by
false assertions.
Their first Is that coffee is not harm
ful.
We assert that one In every three cof-

We Will gladly make a present of
$25,O00O0 to any rooster or importer Of
old fashioned coffee who will accept
that wager.

Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely
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.
1t contains the parts of the wheat berry
which carry the elemental salts such as
lime, iron, potash, silica, etc, ETC., used
by the life forces to rebuild the cellular

the phosphate OF potash, also found In

human being.

the person is one of the weak ones and
says II can't quit you will have dis
covered one of the slaves Of the coffee
importer. 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. 1t is the old law of "the sur
vival 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 inves-
tigator 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 1t contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$100,00O.00 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager
