In fact, as the city grows, by far the tures in which three or more families cook, live and carry on separate house keeping, The huge new apartmenr houses in which rents run into the thousands a year are all tenemonts to our department.

Today is repeated practically the same thing The Brazilian Coffee Trust, operated by foreign money kings, working outside the control of our National Anti-trust laws, have imposed a tax upon American Citizens which has raised the price of even the cheapest grade of coffee from 15c to 25c per Ib. During three past years this trust has taken Hundreds of Millions of Dollars from the pockets of American Citizens. It has given Brazil 85 Millions of Dollars with which to retire her National Bonds. It has given Brazil 10 Millions of Dollars to pay interest on her bonds, It has given Brazil a ‘“‘bought and paid for’’ supply of coffee on hand worth 90 Miltions of Dollars and— It has paid millions upon millions of profit into the coffers of the Foreign Money Kings, and yet the coffee people report a falling off in sales of about 200 million pounds in the past two years. Why this Heavy Reduction? Until recently the ever increasing army of Postum users thought only of health as a “‘reason’’ for quitting coffee. Now Economy is another ‘‘teason.’’ A third “reason,’’ Improved Flavor, has come in with Instant Postum prepared instantly by placing a spoonful in a cup and pouring hot water over it. This presents a delicious beverage much resembling high grade Java in color and taste, but absolutely pure and free from the coffee drug ‘‘caffeine’’ or any other harmful ingredient. Health, convenience, flavor and economy have induced people to change from coffee to Postum; then follows better health, freedom from headache, indigestion, nervousness and other coffee ills. The Result— In hundreds of thousands of American homes today coffee is forgotten and Postum has become the regular table beverage. It is an American drink made by Americans from American products.
