BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But 1t Is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
zone day / asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin q mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum. and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
a taste.
"That started me on Postum and I
now drink 1t more freely than ! did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II 1t
was coffee. told her 1t vas Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
"The next day she said she did not
see how | could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee.
So | told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful ! made, after
boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
