ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
THE EXTENT OF THE COFFEE HABIT.

When one notices the difference in the average
people Of England and America regarding their
diet and digestive abilities some natural inquiries
come up What does the Engishman eat that
gives him such good digestion, and what is the
reason for SO much dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out a pie belt through
New England and says Its pathway is strewn with
dyspeptics. The Americans love for lard-loaded
pastry is probably the Of some trouble, but
the apparently harmless coffee is without doubt
the father of stomach troubles In America
than any other item of food drink. Great
Britain consumes about 30OOO,0O0 pounds of coffee
annually, while America dispOses of something like
800, ,0OO, 900, nearly quite eleven times much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the same poisonous
alkalOids in coffee found in strychnine, NOR
phine tobacco and whisky.
These slight poisons taken daily, accumulate until
the effect on the nerves and stomach is pitable
with some people (who peculiarly susceptible to
poisOns); the doses continued from day to day
without knowledge of what is surely destroying
the power of nerves and stomach.
Ii Is trial to give up coffee but a beverage
has made its appearance the market which Is
like Java coffee in its deep seal brown color and
assuming the rich golden brown Of thick Mocha
when cream is added, that lovers Of coffee who
denied its because of the effects adopt this
food drink freely. The change in taste is so
slight that many do not discover that any change
has been made. The product Is called Postum
and 1t is asserted by the manufacturers, the
Postum Cereal Co, Limited, Battle Greek, Mich,
that it consists wholly and solely of wheat and
other cereals. carefully cooked and roasted in

They Return Home Satisfied With the
CordfnIity of Their Reception.
Messrs. Cartwright and Davies, the Cana
dian cabinet ministers, who have been
here for week consulting leading men of
this country on the question of closer
trade relations between the United States
and Canada, left today for their homes,
well satisfied with their visit and with the
cordiality with which they have been re-
ceived.
In their report to the Dominion govern
ment the commissioners will recommend
the formation of a commission to make
this inquiry, and they hope that similar
action will be taken by the government of
the United States.
Commissioner Cartwright, speaking of
the results accomplished, said:
I'VE return very well pleased with the
reception given and impressed by the
frank and cordial manner in which gentle
men on both side of politics were prepared
to discuss the question of trade relations
We had no notion whatever of making a
reciprocity treaty or interfering with the
tariff in general at the present time nor
any idea that the tariff bill now being
formed by the ways and means committee
would be in any way altered by reason of
our visit. We are also impressed with the
desirabihty of more frank and cordial in
tercourse between the leading men of
Canada and gentlemen on this side of the
line, and are strongly of the opinion that
such intercourse would tend to remove any
understanding and bring about a closer
state of feeling between the two countries -
