An Oppressive Trust

Before the Coffee Roasters Association. in
sion at Chi cago Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb
Of Chicago, charged that there Is in existence
coffee combine which is the most noustrous i'm.
position In the history Of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeratlon about this
statement II comes very close to being literally
true. There Is a coffee combine I'm Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk OF the coffee used
IN the United States, which is backed by the gov
ernment Of Brazil and financed by it, which
pes American consumers Mr.. webb said "to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consume
ers OF the United States have been compelled to
put up the Money through which this combine.
90 further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States Those taxes
were Denounced imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
Ike. The taxes removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed export duty apon
coffee up TO the full amount OF the former custom
taxes In this country The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury Of the United States
diverted to the treasury Of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued him the
old price
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorlzation plan evolved in Brazil
Through this plan the government, using the
tnues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses takes al Of the surplus crop in a Of
large yields and holds It off the market thus
keeping the supply down 10 the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters 10 receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the Of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting financing and
maintaining trust designed and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumcrs TO pay eyorbitant prize for the coffee
they used What is the remcdy?-Seattle Post-In.

Standard statistics OF the coffee
trade show a falling off in sales dur
ing the last two years Of over two
hundred million pounds. Authenticated
.'cports from tho Postum factories IN
this city show a tremendous increase
IN the sale Of Postum in a like per-
iOd OF time.
While tie sales Of Postum Invariably
show marked increase year over year,
the extraordinary demand for that
well-known breakfast beverage during
1911 is very likely due to Nublic
awakening to the oppression of the
coffee trust.
Such an awakening naturally dis
poses the multitude who suffer from
the III effects Of coffee drinking to be
more receptive to knowledge Of harm
which SO often comes as a result of
the use Of the drug beverage, coffee.

NOT SALTS AND

IL Constituted, Bilious, Headachy,
Stomach Sour. get 10 cent
box of Cascarets.

You men and women who can't
get feeling right-who have head
ache, coated tongue, foul taste
and foul breath, dizziness, can't
sleep, are bilious, nervous and
upset, bothered with sick, gassy,
disordered stomach, or have
backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels
clean with Cascarets, or merely
forcing passageway every few
days with salts, cathartic pills or
castor oil? This is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep:
cleanse and regulate the stom-
ach, remove the sour, undigested
and fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the
system all the constipated waste
matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning
q 10-cent box from any drug
store will keep your stomach
sweet; liver and bowels regular
and head clear for months. Don't
forget the children. They love
Cascarets because they taste good
do good-never grippe or sicken.
