Standard statistics Of the coffee .rado
show q falling off in sales during TIE last
two years Of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the
Postum factories in this city show q
tremendous increase in the sale of Postum
in a like period Of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll
known breakfast beverage during 1911 is
very likely due to o public awakening to
the oppression Of the coffee trust.
Such an awakening naturally disposes
the multitude who suffer from the i'll
effects of coffee drinking to be more re-
ceptive to knowledge Of harm which so
often comes as a result of the use Of
the d~rug-beverage, coffee.-Bo@1c Greek

The library is of stone, the 1S2 tablets composing 1t having carved on them the thirteen classics" these be- ing the summary and essence of all Chinese culture.
