DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.


1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee IS dls-
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con
tains a poisonous drug-catfeine
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements IN
choice hard wheat with a little mo-
lasses.
A Phila. man grew enthusiastic and

NEW YORK, July with the

enter upon the second half of their

won fifty and lost eleven games for

twenty-siX games and won thirty
