THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.
pertinent of leaving OF coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights OF sleeplessness. tried to give
up the use Of coffee entirely. but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass OF water. Then / tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was SO
pleasant that I soon learned to love
1t and have used it for several years
I improved Immediately after I left
on coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all Of which
were due to coffee. am now well
and contented and all because

Postum Is much easier to make
right every time than coffee. for It is
SO even and always reliable. We

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hands or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish'
ment and vigor. without taxing the di
gestion. and yet it is the least expen
sive food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers. factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
II fed on almost any other kind OF
food. All of these facts were proved
and very interesting information
about human foods were gathered by
Professor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in
large size family packages either with
or without china dishes. 8
