JUST BEFORE THE TROUBLE
How Could the Listener Know What
His Friend Was Trying
to Say?

II any man ever admired his wife,
that man was Howler. And when the
Fitzboodles asked Mrs. Howler to get
up and sing, There is a Garden in
My Face" the husband glowed with
pride.
No matter that she had face like
a hippopotamus and voice like an
elephant, he sat beaming as she sang.
and could not refrain from bending
over to his neighbor and whispering:
Don't you think my wifes got fine
voice."
"What?" said his neighbor, who
was a little deaf.
Don't you think my wife's got a
fine voice." repeated Howler.
"What?"
Don't you think my wife's got a
fine voice?" roared Howler.
Sorry" returned the neighbor,
shaking his head Cant hear word

This is one Of the highest COM
pliments ever paid to the level-head-
ed, common sense of Americans
who cut off about two hundred mil
lion pounds of coffee when they
found by actual experiment Gin the
majority of cases) that the subtle
drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis
comfort and varying forms of dis
ease.
Some people haven't the charac-
ter to stop habit when they know
it is killing them. but it is easy
to shift from coffee to Postum, for,
when made according to directions,
it comes to table cup of beverage,
seal brown color, which turns to
rich golden brown when cream is
added, and the taste is very like
the milder grades of Old Govt Java.
Postum is a veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts of wheat carefully pre-
pared to which is added about ten
per cent of New Orleans molasses.
and that is absolutely all that
Postum is made of.
Thousands Of visitors to the pure
food factories see the ingredients
and how prepared. Every nook
and corner is open for every visit
or to carefully INSPECT. Crowds
come daily and seem to enjoy it.

Then the article proceeds to de-
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect OF
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
"Where few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink 1t. (The underscoring is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen-
