Having laid waste the north side of the river, it crossed the stream and advanced toward Lambton Hall, where the old lord was living alone and Cesolate.

A our nerves and your sleepless nights %‘w you can drink all the coffee you want LEEPLESS and restless hours until dawn . . . this is the penalty so many people pay for yielding to the temptation of coffee, especially at night. Yet what is the lover of coffee todo. .. the lover of coffee whose nerves are susceptible to the stim- ulating effects of caffein? The answer is Sanka—the won- derful new coffee that has won the favor of discriminating Euro- peans and in a short space of time has found its way to the tables of America’s smartest homes. This remarkable coffee — deli- cious beyond description, rich, fragrant with a bouquet as seduc- tive as old wine—can be freely drunk by everybody without the slightest danger of unpleasant after-effects. For Sanka is free from caffein, the stimulating drug that causes sleeplessness, nervous- ness and other disagreeable complaints, Sanka is a real coffee, and not a substitute in any sense of the word. Nothing has been removed - but the caffein. And you don't taste the caffein in coffee — you only know it is there if it affects L your nerves, heart, or digestion. None of the rich, full coffee flavor is lost when the caffein is removed. When you drink Sanka you drink real coffee—and you will enjoy it as much as any other coffee you have ever tasted. If you are a lover of fine coffee—if you are one of those who have had to give it up'and have found there is no substitute that quite takes its place—you will welcome Sanka not only as a great health discovery but as a notable achievemerit in the blend- ing of fine coffees. A rare coffee blend Aside from its health value, Sanka's aroma and flavor alone make it a notable coffee. In creat- ing Sanka the finest coffees were selected . . . coffees grown high on the mountain plateau of Central and South America for unvarying quality . . . rich, plump Mocha and Java for character, spice and bouquet. From these selected coffees countless experiments were made, until we found exactly the right blend for the sophisticated taste, Result—a coffee that you would drink because you prefer its '\ flavor and aroma, regardless ot any other factor, Drink all you want Sanka is 97% caffein-free, which means that all but a negligible trace of the caffein has been re- moved. So you may drink all you want, whenever );ou want it Think of being able to enjoy a fragrant, steaming cup of coffee with every meal and then again at midnight, with never a worry about sleeplessness! _Even children and invalids can drink Sanka. which makes it the P O 3 : motion? LOIS LEEDS. (Copvrizht. 1927.) ideal beverage for every meal. It does away with the need for more than one beverage. For almost everyone preferscoffee, especially if it has no bad effect on health. Doctors quick to recognize its value Doctors have been quick to recog- nize the value of this wonderful coffee. Everywhere, they are rec- ommending it to patients who suffer from sleeplessness and nerv- ousness. They are recommending it for general family use, as a wise health precaution. Ask your own doctor. He will tell you to drink all you want—that Sanka is as kind to your nerves as milk. You can’t tell the difference « . . make this test So skilfully is the caffein removed from Sanka that you cannot tell the difference between Sanka and the same blend which hasnot been decaffeinized.
