There are many people who would be glad to abandon the habit of drink ing coffee if they could only find some substitute for it. That substitute is Grain O, made from pure grains and, in the opinion of those who have giv en it a thorough trial, a beverage in every way preferable to coffee. Grain O is not a stimulant, it is something better. It is cheering, nutiitious and strengthening. In other words it is a food drink, as coffee is not. It is ac ceptable to the most delicate stomach, and agrees even with confirmed dys peptics. Unlike coffee Grain-O pro duces no nervous action. It never interferes with sleep. As for the flavor of Grain-O, people who use it say that after using it a week or two they like its taste better than that of coffee. Grain-0 is sold by all grocers at 15c and 25c. per package.
