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.
