Coffee DOES disagree with many, and in these days of accurate scientific knowledge there’s no virtue in appearing astonisned when this truth is faced. Caffeine (the drug in coffee, and in tea also) leaves the system in an overworked and debilitated state, and is responsible for various serious ills and discomforts. Thousands who desire an appetizing hot table beverage with none of coffee’s drawbacks, find a most delightful cup—one containing no deleterious substance whatever—in POSTUM —tin l pure cereal food-driitk.

Dodge Brothers MOTOR CAR Satisfying the demand which the goodness of the car creates is still our one great problem. Dodge Brothers works are attaining the proportions ol a city in themselves, but the demand grows in excess of the expansion. Owners have found that its economy and its efficiency are unchanged through the changing seasons. It runs as well in Fall as in Spring—in M inter as in Summer — and at no greater cost. Its merits are now so universally admitted that they arc rarely a sub ject of discussion. That the car is all it is represented to be is taken for granted. That it is good value is conceded. It will pay you to visit us and examine this car. The gasoline consumption is unusually low. The tire milcage is unusually high.
