OUR COFFEE BILL
Little Wonder Tbit There U Such a Uni
versal Demand for Dyspepsia Tablets.
Recent Government Statistics
show that one-half of tho world W"1
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 ot 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 pounds
for every man, woman and cl ild
in the country. The evil effevts
of tho use of tobacco are fully
realized, and even the legisla
tures of many of the states have
placed restrictions on its sale, so
as to keep it oat 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 believed by the wisest
physicians.
Parents who encourage their
children to acquire the habit of
its use are, to say the least, verv
thoughtless. Water is the drink
that God prepared for man, and
experience has shown that man's
attempts to improve on that li
quid has been to the detriment of
those who choose to use artificial
drinks.
