DO you discriminate at the
dining MbIe-0r are
you MoMghtlesS?

In thousands Of homes line" Is drawn at
the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for
grown ups" and Postum for children. But
some parents do not discriminate. Caffeine and
tannin the injurious contents of coffee and tea,
seriously retard the development Of the delicate
nerve tissues in children.
Consequently, instead of rich, satisfying
Postum, children are over stimulated by the
drugs in tea and coffee; and so may grow up
irritable and nervous. Any doctor can tell you
that this is great evil and should be corrected.
Although some parents feel a certain justi6-
cation for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet
the harm to them may be equally serious. It
may take little while longer for the drugs in
coffee and tea to affect an older person. but in many
cases the nervous system and allied bodily func-
tons will become weakened. The surest way to
avoid such possibilities is to quit coffee entirely and
drink Postum instead. The change permits you
to get sound, restful sleep.
Postum is the well-known meal-time bever-
age. Like thousands of others you will like it
because in flavor, it is much like high-grade
coffee.
Do away with the distiction at the table.
Serve delicious Postum, piping hot, to all the
family. One weeks trial and it is likely that
you'll never return to tea and coffee.
Postum comes in two forms Instant Postum (n tins)
made instantly In the cup by the addition Of boiling water
