AS children, we were not permitted to drink
tea or coffee, because it would stunt our growth

Finally upon the instructions of the doctor,
Mother gave up her tea and coffee. But that

But our time came, and we learned by ex-

we tossed about in wakefulness most OF the night.
And then we found Postum, pure cereal
beverage free from the harmful drug, caffeine, in
