There is an apparently growing sentiment among many poople that to constitute any body of men a political commission with such vast power as the ability to make or unmake any railroad rate on the 70.000 miles of railroad in the country, would afford such an enor mous centralized power as has never heretofore been dreamed of by the most radical advocates of the central government Idea as against the dlftu slon of power among the people and the several States.

They have overcome disease caused by it. The plan was easy and sure. Quit Coffee and use Postum. Proof with one’s self is stronger than any theory. The Postum army grows by hundreds of thousands yearly. The old-fashioned Coffee Magnates arc now derid ing Postum through the papers. Because their pocketbooks are hurt, they would drive the people back to the old coffee slavery. One coffee prevaricator says: “It (Postum) has lately been exposed and found to contain an excess of very ordinary coffee.” Another that “it (Postum) is made from a small amount of parched peas, beans, wheat, dried sweet potatoes, and paste of wheat middlings.” Here’s to you, oh faithful followers of the tribe of Ananias: ---------- ------ w.ll be deposited with any reputable trust company (or a less amount if desired) against a like amount by any coffee roaster or dealer. If the charge, prove true we lose, if not we take the money as partial liquidation for the infamous insult to our business.

They are shown into every cranny and examine every ingredient and process. Each visitor sees Postum made of different parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechan ical methods and one part blended with a small part of pure New Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and New < 'rleans molasses. It took more than a year of experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how to develop the diastase and properly treat the other elements in the wheat to produce the coffee-like flavor that makes suspicious people “wonder.” But there never has been one grain of old-fashioned or dn< coffee in Postum and never will be. Another thing, we have on file in our general offices the original of every testimonial letter we have ever published. We submit that our attitude regarding coffee is now and always has been absolutely fair. If one warns a stimulant and can digest coffee and it does not set up any sort of physical ailment, drinkit But, if coffee overtaxes and weakens the heart (a»l it docs with some).
