THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cot
fee contains a drug-caTeine-which IL
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when ! wal a child in my moth
Sr's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals !
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground It in the ~coftee-tnill, al q sub
stitute for coffee.
"But It did not taste right and they
went back to ooffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. I continued to use coffee until !
was ~, and when I got into ONCE
work. / began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast / was SO
nervous I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, / could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. NY wife and I did not like
It at FIRST, but later when boiled good
and strong II was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.

from nervousness and headaches.

The chief plea of the beneficiaries OF
protection is that the cost OF labor IN
this country is relatively 30 high that
the industry employing It must be pro-
tected against the cheaper foreign Ia
Dor. And so far as the people believe
that protection is necessary to the
American laborer-so far as 1t Is
necessary to give him a decent stand
ard Of living-so far they are willing
that the industries should be protect
