DEMAND CHICoRY.
Foreign Born Americans Introducing
New Product.

q New Product.
The steady demand by those who
have emigrated to this country from
Europe is daily creating a greater de
mand for chicory to improve the fla
vor of coffee.
1t is fact not generally known to
Americans that chicory, owing to its
peculiar properties, neutralizes the
harmful effects which result from the
drinking of straight coffee as bev-
erage.
Now that 1t is becoming so difficult
to secure coffees at any price which
are really palatable. 1t is worth re
membering that mixture of coffee
and chicory will give a beverage
which we have diligently sought for.
but SO often failed to find, for the
family breakfast. viz, the same good
coffee we SO much admire in firsi
class restaurants and hotels.
We have our European citizens by
adoption to thank for this. Used as
they have been for more than hun
dred years to add little chiocry to
their coffee this was a custom that
clung to them after coming to Amer
lea.
Their constant demand for 1t upon
our merchants led to its being import.
ed in largely increasing quantities
until one of the largest foreign firms
engaged in preparing it established
great works here in America.
Since then it's use has widened un-
til nearly all classes are now using ii
daily. Because 1t improves the taste
of coffee and takes away its bad ef-
fects.
Leading merchants are now put
ting up their package coffees with
the addition of the proper proportion
of chicory and plainly labelling the
package accordingly.
This insures you coffee and chicory
of the quality that will produce bev-
erage like that served in the best ho-
tells and restaurants.

General Demand
Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known

sanction for family use because its COM

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success
That is one of many reasons why
