TO PRETENDERS
a wholesome word for Guidance.

Just a word TO you. Golfers" and
other glaring examples Of Modern Yel-
low Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you q viewpoint
from which It is difficult to understand
that some people even nowadays act
from motives OF old-fashiOned 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 nos be Of kind
70 understand IL.
Some Of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretendeTs. but your
training does not taiut the old-fash-
ioned person trained without knowledge
U1 pretense and deceit
These letters came TO Us absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped OF entirely healed by follow
ing the suggestions TO quit the food or
drink which may be causing the physi-
cal complaints and change 10 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 dtf-
ference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
pictes all the cheap books your presses
will produce and sell them Gs best you
can, out such acts and your learned
editorials are but commercial. and seek
only dollars and mucn by pretenCe.
When you branch out into food values
you become only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. The field
may be small but it is safe.
This first letter is from the Presl-
dent Of the Christian Nation" a
worthy Christian paper of New York.
