OUR COPF0E BILL Little Wonder That There la Such a Unl versa! Demand for Dyspepsia Tablets. Recent GovernmeUf'statistics show that one-half of tho worli'i production of coffee comes to the United States. We pay over one; million dollars a week forourcof fee, and, of course, send the mon ey out ol the country. Notwith standing the fact that France and Germany together have one-third more population than the United States, they consumed last year only half as much as we did. We consume over 800 million pounds, or about ten and one-half pourds for every man, woman and child in the country. The evil effects of the use of tobacco arc f Un realized, and even the legisla tures of many of the states have placed restrictions on its sale, so as to keep it out of the hands of children and youth ; but coffee, the twin sister of tobacco, seems to be getting in its pernicious work, comparatively unmolested. Perhaps, if men were as great champions of reform as women, coffee would have been placed on the shelf with tobacco long ago. That coffee is responsible for much of the stomach trouble of this day.is bolievod by the wisest physicians. Parents who encourage their children to acquire the habit of its use are, to say the least, vcrv thoughtless. Water is the drink that God prepared for man, and experience has shown that man's attempts to improve on ,hat li quid has been to the detriment of those who choose to use artificial drinks.
