TO PRETENDERs.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just a word to you, Golfers" and
other glaring examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which 1t 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 1t.
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 a 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 a 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
best you 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 nelt1
may be small but it is safe.
This first letter Is from the Presi-
dent Of the Christian Nation. .
