MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children Drink?

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often 1t is tea or coffee.
It Is better to have some delicious,
hot fooddrink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that 1t will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting friend / was
served with Postum and determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage. Since I quit cof-
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
"You may he sure I find 1t a great
comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that I can give my children,
with a clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.

Postum cereaI-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and Csc pkgs.
Instant Postum soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup Of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
q delicious beverage instantly. 30c
