Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands of peo-
Pile each month and the coffee import
ers themselves are cordially invited.
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.
1t contains the parts of the wheat ber-
ry which carry the elemental salts.
such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc,
ETC., used by the life forces to rebuild
the cellular tissue, and this is particu-
larly true of the phosphate of potash,
also found in Graps-Nuts, which com
bines in the human body with albu-
men and this combination, together
with water, rebuilds the worn-out gray
matter in the delicate nerve centers all
over the body and throughout the
brain and solar plexus.
Ordinary coffee stimulates in an I'M
natural way, but with many people it
slowly and surely destroys and does
not rebuild this gray substance so
vitally important to the well being of
every human being.
These are eternal facts proven, well
authenticated and known to every
properly educated physician, chemist
and food expert.

The published statements Of num-
ber of coffee importers and roasters
indicate "waspy" feeling towards us
for daring to say that coffee is harm
full 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 act In
telligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care of themselves.
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 movement to
boom coffee and stop the use of Pos
tum Food Coffee and in their newspa-
per statements undertake to deceive
by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harm
full.
We assert that one in every three
coffee users has some form of incipi-
ent or chronic disease; realize for one
moment what terrible menace to
nation of civilized people, when one
kind of beverage cripples the energies
and health of one-third the people who
use it.
We make the assertion advisedly
and suggest that the reader secure his
own proof by personal inquiry among
coffee users.
Ask your coffee drinking friends if
they keep free from any sort of aches
and ails. You will be startled at the
percentage and will very naturally
seek to place the cause of disorder on
something aside from coffee. whether
food. Inherited tendencies or some
thing else.
Go deeper In your search for facts.
If your friend admits occasional neu-
ralgia. rheuma atism, heart weakness,
stomach or bowel trouble, kidney COM
nlaint. weak eyes or approaching nerv-
ous prostration induce him or her to
make the experiment of leaving on
coffee for 10 days and using Postum
Food Coffee, and observe the result

something to think Of OF course, II

Plague Spots in the Blood
A Remedy Found TO Cleanse the Entire
System.

Half Of the diseases from which man.

That headache, those pains i'm the Joints
and muscles, that tired feeling, are all
caused by pOisOns i'm the blood. The
reason rheumatism, Sciatica and GOut
cannot be cured by rubbing with lini-
ments and oils is that the disease origi-
mates in the blood, and an internal dis
ease originates i'm the blood, and an in
ternal disease cannot be cured by am
external remedy.
RHEUMACIDE is the most power
ful blood purifier in the world. RHEU-
MACIDE "goes right to the seat Of the

CHAMPIONS OF THE
PAST AND FUTURE.

Digging through a lot Of old stun
the other day | came across some pic
lures Of the fighters Of hundred years
ago, and they put me in mind of the
difference there Is between the fellows
that stepped into the squared circle In
those days and the lads that put the
gloves on now.
When a fellow looks back that way
he sees a few changes that set him
thinking. | don't know how long II is
since men got together In a personal
encounter to fight with their fists, but
| should guess it was about the time
that the old swords and dirks went
out Of fashion. I've been told that the
tournament was about the closest thing
to modern prize fighting and there
hasn't been a tournament in a long
time. but the idea looks reasonable.
Of course. men have fought ever
since they've been on the earth, but
the fights I am talking about are the
ones where there was a purse held up,
and where the chaps that fought we're
not settling some old grudge. AS far
rs | know the first OF the regular box
ers was Tom Figg, and he did some
tall work from 17l9 on to 1870, when a
boy named Greeting took his measure,
Those were the days when a man stood
up against his adversary and did what
things he could to him before the other
fellow knocked him into a cooked hat.
There was mighty little footwork in
those days, and the science Of the busi-
ness was a whole lot In the future.
From all I've been able to find out
about, they just used TO pound away
at each other and a mans ability was
gauged by his staying Qualities-in
other words, on his capacity 70 take
punishment II was a great game and
a fellow didn't go into It unless he
could stand the gan. As the years
went on l believe some attention was
paid to guards and blows OF a differ
ent order, but It wasn't until well
along into the ffties Of last century
that the modern fighter began to sit
up and take notice.
About this time the rules began TO
look up and It got to be considered
rude to whale a man over the head
with a club because you had your
money on the other lad This used to
be a fayorite pastime when the fights
we're held on the turf. and I'm told It
used to breed some very neat and ef-
fective little discussions on the side.
However, 1t was Jem Mace who was
the first man to invent real punches,
sidesteps and the like. and he is to be
credited with the modern pugillsm,
one might say.
The old-time champion was fellow
who would stand up with a funny
guard and beat his man down by main
strength and awkwardness. II used to
be a favorite idea to catch a fellow in
a wrestling grip and then grind him
down into the mud, but that dropped
out after awhile. The rules began to
provide that skill was the thing that
was needed more than strength and
the bite and chew, kick-in-the-stomach
idea was asked to take back seat
When certain alleged noblemen used
to keep a stable OF fighters, just like
they would horses, things were a lot
more brutal than was necessary, be-
cause these folks seemed to want blood
and lots Of II.

Coming down to cases, however in
the last IS years or so the game has
gone through a lot Of changes, and per-
haps the difference is more to be no
ticed during that time than during any
other. To go back to 1882 when John
l. Sullivan beat Paddy Ryan down in
Mississippi, you might say that John
was about the last Of the old guard Of
fighters. He was the boy who would
stand up and fight to the last gasp, and
his greatest trouble was I'm getting the
men to stay where he could hit them.
London prize ring rules were never
meant for John, and a lot Of people
made the mistake Of thinking Sullivan
was champion Of the world. He never
was. for he failed to whip Charley
Mitchell when they fought at Chantilly
in France for the championship. That
was the last time | think that the L. p
r. rules were used, and It was a good
thing for Mitchell that he fought un-
der them then. for Sullivan had him
going a whole lot at different times
and If Il hadn't been for the rules and
the crowd, that made It hot for John,
a different story might have been told
and Sullivan might have been the
worlds champion.
Well. as I was saying. Sullivan was
the last Of his style. He used TO stand
up and pound away at HIS man until
he had him down and out, and he was
a shlfty fighter at that, was John,
but there was a change coming along.
Jim Corbett went after Sullivan down
in New Orleans. and tried a new sys-
TEN on him. a system that had been
growing fast. It was the hit and get
away idea, that Is said to be the acme
OF science. and Corbett, then a likely
lad. was about as shlfty on his feet as
a cat. He soaked Sullivan any time
he wanted to. but he was never on the
SPOT when Sullivan wanted TO hit him.
and poor old John punched himself
tired-at nothing. That was the first
Of the modern changes. The gladiator
the stolid man of muscle, gave way to
the shifty man, with the fair punch,
who could get in quick. strike quicker
and get away again before his man had
a chance 10 counter.
For some years that was the ideal
school. and then somebody found out
that Corbett didn't have any particu-
larly hard punch and that he mostly
wore his men down by letting them
work themselves out, putting in a good
lab here and there TO help the work
along. think | can safely say that
I was the chap Of the new school who
made the next change. took Corbett's
