The “Reason” for Postum Food Coffee.

The real trouble with tea and coffee drinking is not generally understood. Physicians advise, for a well-defined reason, the discontinuance of both tea and coffee when a person is sick. Educated physicians know of the following test:—

When tea is added during the process of digestion, 34 per cent of albumen will be left undigested, and 66 per cent will be digested; while if coffee is added during the process of digestion the result will be but 61 per cent digested and 39 per cent undigested. When tea and coffee are taken into the human stomach, serious interference is set up with the natural and healthful operations. If one has an exceedingly powerful digestive apparatus, he can stand this abuse for a time, but it is sure to tell sooner or later.

Slicing Room.

This machine cuts the Grape-Nuts loaves into slices and deposits them in wire trays, ready to go to the dry kilns.

These facts should never be forgotten.
