AMONG THE CLERGY
Coffee Being Replaced by Postum
Food Coffee


Food Coffee.
II am the wife of a minister. About
three years ago warm friend, an ex-
enplary mother and the conscientious
wife of a minister, asked ME if had
ever tried giving up coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee. I had been tell
ing her of my excessive nervousness
and i'll health. She said: We drink
nothing else for breakfast but Postum,
and it is a delight and comfort to have
something that we do not have to re-
fuse the children when they ask for it.
81 was surprised that she would
permit the children to drink even the
food coffee, but she explained that it
was a most healthful beverage and
that the children thrived on it. A
very little thought convinced me that
for brain work, one should have food
and the very best of food.
My first trial OF Postums was a
failure. The maid of all work brought
it to the table, lukewarm, weak, and
altogether lacking in character. We
were in despair, but decided on one
more trial. At the second trial we
faithfully followed the directions, used
four teaspoonfuls to the pint Of water,
let it boil full fifteen minutes after
the real boiling began, and served it
with rich cream. It was delicious and
we Were all won.
Il have since sung the praises of
Postum Food Coffee on many, many
occasions land have induced numbers of
friends to abandon coffee and use
Postum, with remarkable results. The
