ME TOO
The Tall Enders That Follow Gen
uine Articles
It is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy imitations of genuine
goods
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee on scientific
lines
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original with no knowledge of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part
Is transformed properly and the val
uable nourishing elements made di
gestible
Such imitations may be foisted on
the public for a short time but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt then the imitators go out of
business
Something like 400 of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past 9
years and practically all of them have
gone the long journey Just lately
a new one has come to life and evi
dently hopes to insert itself in public
favor by copying the style of the Post
um advertising in the papers
This is a free country and every
man who makes an honest product
and honestly labels it has reason for
some recognition but the public has
the right to know the facts
Po3tum Is the one original and gen
uine Cereal Coffee made skillfully
and for a definite purpose It has
stood through all the wars of the im
itators has won the approval of the
Physicians and the people
People who really seek to free
themselves from the coffee habit and
at the same time to rebuild the soft
gray matter in the nerve centers and
thus reconstruct the nervous system
broken down by coffee can rely on

DIET OF THE EUTUEE
VEGETABLES AND FRUIT TO RE
PLACE MEAT
Dictates of Destiny Point Strongly To
ward This End Abundance and
Cheapness of Natures Production
Bound to Turn the Scale
That Americans are great meat eat
ers may be considered a fact of de
rivation from the hunting and fishing
stage of the countrys life So long
as meat was abundant and cheap it
had the recommendations which left
to Its choice as the principle article of
food The vegetarian who here and
there raised his voice in protest
against the consumption of flesh foods
was little heeded A people are guid
ed in the selection of their foods very
little by deliberate choice They eat
the things which are closest to hand
The time may come with that remote
future to which is referred everything
Utopian when nations will deliberate
ly select the predominating articles of
their diet with reference to the devel
opment of specific racial characteris
tics But at present people in general
are not even convinced that what
they eat has relevancy to what as a
nation they become
For a few centuries to come Amer
icans certainly will continue to eat
the food convenient to them while
good humoredly allowing the sereal
ists to tickle their palates with health
foods But even American independ
ence or indifference is amenable to
the dictates of destiny Just now
Americans seem destined to drift more
strongly than ever toward a fruit diet
The moving consideration is the fancy
figures with an upward tendency at
which flesh foods are sold The other
consideration is the abundance and
cheapness of fruits As wisdom takes
counsel of necessltj a third motive
which of itself would not have great
weight is the superior wholesomeness
of fruit foods
We produce the biggest apple crops
sn the world our peach crops are un
paralleled our watermelons and small
fruits respond in abundance to the
mere tickling of the soil with a hoe
The same story holds true of all do
mestice fruits But this term has be
some elastic California distributes
throughout the country great quanti
ties of tropical fruits and the area of
cultivation of these is constantly ex
tending When the Panama trench is
dug the Pacific coast fruits can be
brought to the eastern markets with
greater celerity and less cost Mod
3rn means of transportation have
made the plantations of the West In
dies also almost the same as though
they were within the country confines
It is safe to predict that the con
sumption of bananas especially will
soon be increased Oranges are being
consumed in rapidly increasing quan
tities Certainly during the summer
months fruit will be king During the
winter months the force of habit will
prevail and more fruit and less meat
will be eaten Baltimore Herald
Drove Trade in Autographs
Dr W G Grace the most famous
cricketer in England probably has
given his autograph as often as any
other celebrity Ata match not long
ago he wrote his name in the note
book of a little girl A couple of
weeks later much to his surprise the
same little lady shyly sidled up to
him with the necessary documents
and the request for his autograph
But I gave it you only a few days
ago laughingly said the veteran
Oh came the answer I changed
that one for two bishops Dr Grace
laughed heartily as he replied Well
my dear if a cricketer is worth two
bishops I dont believe I ought to give
you another autograph But your
naivette is so delicious I suppose I
must So there you are

man mentioned that while this

she had not become a gentleman
Then he capped it all by lifting his

From Strength to Strength
Defeat Nay verily such fato
Never can whelm thee trustful soul
As God lives some time soon or late
Thine is a splendid goal
As frosts that grip and storms that

And droughts that fire the verdant

But warp and closer interlock
The oaks reluctant bands
So are they friends not enemies
Who seem to work thee foulest wrong
Scorn buffet and rebuff though these
Thou growest but more strong
Irue night may find thee sick forspent
Fain to give oer the strife but dawn
Will nerve thee with more brave intent
For all these hurts foregone

WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED
Why do we lead all the nations of
the earth in prosperity happiness and
Individual contentment
Why are we as a people regarded as
an invincible power of impregnable
strength
And why do we compel the admira
tion of the whole world at times
grudgingly given but given anyhow
It is because we are free and inde
lendent in the truest meaning of the
vords
We think for ourselves act for our
selves govern ourselves more than the
people of any other nation
We are absolutely self reliant a na
tional trait that renders us independ
ent of all other nations Independence
is the keynote of our supremacy
And this is the reason why up-to-date
grocers and storekeepers appreci
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills of their own
and do not need -interested advice
Every up-to-date grocer knows per
fectly well that for more than a quar
ter of a century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a wel
come drink at the tables of millions of
American homes
He knows and everybody else knows
that it has always kept its old
friends and steadily made new ones
Good reliable trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this and all in
dependent housekeepers will insist up
on having Lion Coffee and no other no
matter what kind of an argument gro
cers of obstinate principles may ad
vance
Americans want the best and they
get the best and purest in Lion Coffee

EVIL OF PRESENT DAY
Mental Faculties Greatly Disturbed by
Noise
Noise in my judgment is one of
the most powerful and most success
ful disorganizers of the mental facul
ties in the world said a thoughtful
citizen to a representative of the
New Orleans Times Democrat and
when we reflect on the enormous in
crease in noises of all kinds we will
probably be convinced that the time
is rapidly coming when the race will
be in no small danger mentally on ac
count of noise Progress is noisy
necessarily so I suppose But when
I speak of progress of the noisy type
I of course mean material progress
We cant build in a material sense
without making noise Intellectual
progress even is not always along
quiet lines But I was thinking of
noise in a lighter aspect Have you
not noticed how some men become
mentally reckless on account of loud
talking Have you not noticed that
children will sometimes shriek them
selves into a highly nervous state
They become mentally disorganized
on account of the noise they make I
was a rather close observer of a man
at a game of baseball the other day
He started to yelling gently and grad
ually worked his way up to the alti
tude of the shrieking rooter Before
that game ended that fellow was as
mad as a March hare He had been
crazed by his own voice Noise Is a
dreadful distractor when you come to
think of it and the trouble about the
noisy rooter at a ball game is that
in driving himself to the madhouse he
is likely to take a few other fellows
with him
DOG DEALERS HARD LUCK
Pup He Thought Worthless Turned
Out First Class
I am an unscrupulous dog dealer I
had for sale a very fine Irish terrier
His mother cost me 500 and his sire
cost 750 I thought their get my
pup now a year old worth 200 and
so advertised him
I was incensed by an offer of 10
over the phone
Party never saw the dog and said
any good ratter would do him this I
had claimed for mine he did not
care for pedigree breeding or cost of
parent dogs
A bright idea struck me I knew a
curley haired alley dog I could get
for 25 cents I told the fellow I would
accept the 10 offer He asked me to
meet him at depot with the dog He
was going home on a suburban train
I met him with the curly haired alley
dog on which by the way I had an
option but at 50 cents not 25 cents
as I expected My customer sneered
when he saw the dog but handed me
a 10 note
I smiled when I thought of my joke
Next week I received a postal card
from my customer that read Your
dog is the best ratter I ever saw He
caught forty two rats the first two
days He is worth all you advertised
him at 200 I would hot sell him for

Dont think Im longer blinded by the

And another one is honor and some more
are truth and right

EVER TREAT YOU SO
Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come
Up
A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa
tells of his coffee experience
My wife and I used coffee regular
ly for breakfast frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper always
the very best quality package coffee
never could find a place on our table
In the spring of 1S96 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping
It seemed to come from coffee
drinking but we could not decide
In the following July however
she was attacked a second time by
the vomiting I was away from homo
filling an appointment at the time
and on my return I found her very
low she had literally vomited herself
almost to death and It took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach
I had also experienced the same
trouble but not so violently and had
relieved it each time by a resort to
medicine
But my wifes second attack satis
fied me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee The old symp
toms of disease disappeared and dur
ing the 9 years that we have been
using Postum instead of coffee we
have never had a recurrence of the
vomiting We never weary of Postum
to which we know we owe our good
health This Is a simple statement
of facts Name given by Postum
