Whoever heard of coffee causing Il man
to abuse his wife or commit crimes such
as whisky has been responsible for?"
There seems to be some reason for the

chemist or physician to see a prominent w.

breakfast she may start in her round OF
work lighting against whisky and tobacco.
We must allow that she does not really
know that the enemies she is contendlng
against are simply older brothers of the cof-
fee that has placed around her the spell Of
habit which she is so free to denounce in
these who use one or the other of the broth

coffee contains the same alkaloids as whis-

imaIs and 81 LapIanders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A cablegram re-
ceived at the War Department to-day from
DR.. Jackson, at Alien, Norway, announced
that the steamship Manitoban chartered by
Lieutenant Devore for the government, had
just sailed from that port for New York
with $50 reindeer and eghty-seven Lapp
men and women to care for the animals
and drive them on the government relief
expedition when they arrive in Alaska. The
War Department is now making arrange
ments for the transportation of the deer
across the continent from New York to
Seattle. In answer to inquiries that have
been made at the department. instance as
to the probability of finding in Alaska the
moss on which the reindeer feeds alto
gether in his native country the Bureau of
Education has submitted some correspond
ence it's agents have had on this subject
The inquiry had special reference to the
vicinity of the Chilcat region and samples
of the Norwegian moss were sent up there
for Identification. In response the Presby-
terrain missionary at Haines, Mr.. w. w.
Ware, writes as follows
THE reindeer moss came by the last mail
and | have asked a good many natives and
whites about 1t. The net outcome is that
there is very little indeed along the coast.
but fifty miles over the coast range there is
a great abundance. Some say the whole
country is covered. / accept that statement
with some reservation. but l should judge
that there must be a good DEAL
The War Department has contracted with
the Pennsylvania Railroad for the trans
portation of the reindeer now the way
from Norway from New York to Seattle.
The route will be over the PENNSYLVANIA
lines, the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Great Northern. Passenger traip
time is to be followed. and the government
reserves the right to stop the train and rest
the animals at points selected by its agents
The price paid is $24S.77 for stock cars and
$l6S.17 for box cars, and the railroad COM
pany is to furnish accommodations for the
