Every Woman’s Duty
in matters pertaining to the family table is to decide
not only what is best for herself, but for the husband
and children as well.
Take the table drink, for instance; the housewife
may like her tea or coffee. She knows that coffee and
tea are harmful to many, but she uses her favorite
beverage in moderation, and thinks it doesn’t harm
her.
But there’s John. He’s irritable and nervous;
perhaps his irritation and sleeplessness may be due to
tea or coffee.
Apain, almost everybody knows that tea and coffee
are especially harmful to the little folks. The next
thing, then, is “what to serve as a wholesome table
beverage?’’
In many families the quick and happy answer is
Instant Postum
Here is a delicious, “coffee-like” beverage, as hot
and savory as high-grade Java coffee, yet pure and free
from the drugs, caffeine and tannin, which often dis
agree with health and comfort.
This pure, food-drink is made instantly
by using a level teaspoonful in a cup and adding hot
water, also sugar and cream to taste. Everyone can
drink all they desire without the slightest chance of
harm.
Instant Tostum. a real American discovery, is
made of prime wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses,
blended and roasted just like cofTee. Its flavor, purity
and wonderful goodness have won tremendous favor
everywhere.
“There’s a Reason”
