Facts b the Beverage That Ars No

Facts About the Beverage That ARE Not
Generally known.
The inhabitants of the United States
consume annually, statistics show, $780,
600, 900 pounds OF coffee. and as there
are about rs, 000. 900 Inhabitants each Of
them has to his credit ten pounds in
the course Of the year. Eotwithstand-
ing this a wave OF fear sweeps over
the country every little while and the
coffee drinkers lift up their voices and
say: Are we not harming our health
with drinking 80 much coffee?" The
subject has lately been discussed by
a number Of medical societies. Physi-
clans are pretty generally agreed that
the moderate consumption of coffee is
not injurious and moderate consump-
ton" they decline Is one cup at break
fast, one at moo and one in the Eve
ming. Coffee taken plain, without eth
er cream or sugar. they say, Is less
harmful than the sweetened cafe-au-
lait. or milk coffee. which, fermentiug,
Is bad for the digestive organs. Smok-
ers are better of with coffee than

weakens the hearts action, while cof-
fee, a stimulant, strengthens It, so that
the heart Of the smoking coffee drink
er does not vary, as a rule, from the
heart Of him who has neither the one
habit mol the other. The smoker who
does not drink coffee has usually a
weak heart. The disciples Of the no
breakfast faith say that one cup OF
coffee between two cups of hot water
in the morning is better for the health
than all the breakfast cereals or health
foods advertised-Ex.
