Wocc Burners In Paris.

Despite all modern improvements, Paris still heats it's offices and it's hoslses to large extent with wood. It's bakers and confectioners use hard ly anything else for fuel.

TO PRETENDERs.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just word to you, Golfers" and
other glaring examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which it is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty.
/ There are honest makers of foods
and healthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There Is, although you may not be
of kind to understand it.
Some Of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not faint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to US absolutely
without solicitation. We have great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes change in the cells
Of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
Of knowledge. makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and. worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
bestyou can, but such acts and your
learned" editorials are but CONNER
cial, and seek only dollars" and much
by pretence.
When you branch out into food
values you become only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. The field
may be small but 1t is safe:
