Coffee Finds Its Place
The Literary Digest, of March 28, 1914, quoting the New York World,
says:
"Cocain and its allied intoxicants appear to be
about the cheapest things in the market. They are
seemingly cheaper than whiskev, cheaper than
beer, cheaper in proportion to effects than tea or
coffee."
I he best teaching of to-day is distinctly against the use of coffee, tea
and other drugs, and drug-bearing beverages—especially among the young.
It is well established that headache, nervousness, indigestion, sleepless
ness, and other aches and pains are commonly caused by coffee drinking.
People are becoming alive to this fact and thousands have quit coffee
and now use
POSTUM
A pure food-drink
Made of whole wheat and a small per cent, of molasses, Postum is a .
rich, flavoury beverage much resembling high-grade Java in taste, but is
absolutely free from the coffee-drug, caffeine, or any other harmful sub
stance.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum— must be well boiled—lsc and 25c packages.
Instant Postum —a soluble form—requires no boiling—3oc and 50c
tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.
"There's a Reason" for POSTUM
—sold by Grocers everywhere.

Marshall Criticises
Educational System;
Favors Socialism
Washington, D. C., May 18.—Vice-
President Marshall's declaration that|
one of America's ills to-day "is that
there is too much science in the so
called educational system and too little
God Almighty," occasioned comment
in Washington to-day. The statement
was made at a church gathering here
last night.
"There is this thing wrong in many
of the churches," said the Vice-presi
dent, "that because church and State
are separate and the States makes the
schools, the church feels itself absolv
ed from any duty in the direction of
education of youth.
"The State is permitted to mold
children from the age of six up
through the time when they are go
ing through colleges, where many of
the professors are agnostics and athe
ists. But now the church is awaken
ing to the fact that the children should
be reared in the way of Christian
faith from the nursery upward. I be
lieve that there is in this country to
day a great spirited awakening, and
the church is beginning to see that
it has turned entirely too many of
its functions to the State."
The Vice-president also let It be
known that some day he would forget
all of the other political parties and
Join the Socialist. "But," he added,
"I shall never do this until it becomes
a friend of the church: never while
its flaunts on the streets a red banner
in the face of faith in God and the
marriage service. The Socialism in
which I believe and to which I hope
some day to adhere, is not that which
concerns itself with consideration of
power and property, but that of
spirit."
