A Better Beverage

From South America Comei the Great
est Drink of All -Mate - the Quality
Beverage (hat Has Been Used
Continuously Su.ce Its Dis-
covery and la Now Pre-
ferred by 20,000,000
People to Aay Other
Drink.
Every traveler who ha* visited
South America has commented
upon Mat# being an ideal drink,
and every book describing South
America praises the virtue* of
Mat#. It 1* endorsed and recom-
mended by scientists, phyrlciau*
and food Experts.
Frank G. Carpenter, the world
wide traveler, says In his Geo-
graphical Reader: "Mat# I* good
for the brain and will refresh you
when you are tired."
W. D. Boyce, well known news-
paper man, in his book, "Illustrated
South America," says: "Mat# Is
rather bitter, but I llkbd it. One
English doctor told me that he
bad used it himself for forty year*
and it gave great strength and en-
durance to the nerves."
pr. E. Lenglet, former president
of the International League of Pure
Food, says: 'Mat# stimulates the
crease to the extent of more than ®cott' George W. Wilson and Hooker; relatives at Chickasha.
& Wishart. a co-partnership composed

action of the cerebro spinal organs,
gives great capacity to undergo fa-
tlgue and invigorates the brain."
Gen. Rocha Gallado, of the Bra-
zilian army, says: "During a space
of twenty-two days I was witness
to the fact that an army was al-
most exclusively fed on Mat#: the
want of rations on that occasion
not permitting any halts."
United States Consul Johnson at
Santos, Brazil, writes: "Mat# is
especially beneficial to those of
sedentary habits and to brain work-
ers."
United States Consul Ayers,
Rosario, Argentine, writes: "All
authors, from the Jesuits down
to Bompland. Mantegazza and
Parody, are unanimous that Mat#
can sustain the system during long
intervals of labor."
J. C. Oakenfull, in his book,
"Brazil," says: "Take a good bowl
of Mat# and a crust of bread at
four a. m. and you can work in
the harvest field until noon. It has
no aftermath, no injurious influ-
ence on the digestive organs and
its action is stomachic and laxa-
tive."
Darwin, the great scientist, thor-
oughly appreciated its \value, and
in many letters to his friends as
well as in his "Journal of Re-
searches," written after a South
American journey, he refers to
Mate as an ideal driuk.
Soothing, Refreshing and
Strength Sustaining
There is nothing else like Wood-
ley's Mat#. It is a pleasing, invig-
orating beverage that can be drunk
three times a day with positively
no deleterious after effects.
Mate aids perfect digestion.
Those who drink it regularly sel-
dom suffer from constipation or
stomach troubles. It is a safeguard
against insomnia.
This wonderful product of South
America is now on sale in this city.
Its use is economical; it is the
least expensive table beverage to
be had. A 50-cent package of
Woodley's Mat# will make 100 to
200 cups.
Serve at Every Meal
Woodley's Mat# can be served
at every meal—three times a day.
It is delicious hot or cold, and the
day's requirements can be easily
made at the one boiling for break-
fast. Directions on every package.
