Tea and Coffee Bad for Children.

A noted physician says that it is ali
but a crime for mother to give her
baby tea and coffee. Neither of the
drinks can possibly do the child any
good, and the first drinks are sure to
cause disagreement, and the child is
the worse for them for several days,
and, in fact, until the system gets to
the place where it can assimilate the
new drugs" for such they are. There
are men that say good, strong coffee
acts upon them like a drink of whisky
and that it stimulates them to re-
newed mental action. The woman tea
drinker declares that she. feels all
gone to pieces" ill she gets her strong
cup of tea, and it is quite common
to arrange for strong draughts Of both
If one is called to sit up far beyond
the usual time, for the purpose of
keeping one awake. From this it ought
to be conclusive evidence that tea and
coffee are not fit for children to drink,
and it is a mooted question whether
they are really fit for human use, out
side of the drugs and medicines that
are found in the doctors books" OF
course it is the abuse of things that
makes them harmful, and most people
abuse the use of tea and coffee. the
newest theory concerning coffee now is
that it's unrestricted use brings on
early loss of sight and total blindness.

Mr.. Hanna was accompanied by Col.

On his arrival at the Waldorf Mr..
Hanna was greeted By host of friends
and held an informal reception. He
was in the best of spirits naturally
but declined to be interviewed until he
had met Mrs. Hanna and his daughters.
Mr.. Hanna was asked how the presi

question. He declined to speak for
Major Mckinley beyond repeating a
statement made by the president-elect
before the Marquette club in Chicago
in February last, when he said he was
not an advocate of a schedule. but of
the principle Of protection.

against trusts, capital and great prom
ises, labor saw through it all and re-

that their final trip through Illinois

main here week or so to wind up at
