COFFEE AND TOBACCO JIMJAMS

Speaking of delirium tremens," said q well known physician, s'it is a mis- take to assume that the excessive use of alcohol is the only thing which pro duces this condition. Jimjams is complaint commonly associated with the use of too much liquor, and yet the same condition physiologically and mentally may be produced in another way, and in directly opposite way. Ones system may be stimulated to an excessive degree by using too much whislley, too much coffee or too much of any of the stimulating agencies. To- bacco will produce the same result. too much smoking and too much chew ing may produce delirum tremens in one of it's earlier forms. Of course, the condition is not aggravated in the case of an excessive use of coffee, tobacco and things of that sort. But the symp- toms are there and it is the same old complaint.
 Coffee and tobacco produce more cases of incipient delirum tremens than all the whiskey in the world. The manifestation of the nervous condition following the excessive use of coffee and tobacco is so mild that only the ex- pert and the specialist may notice it. I have seen cases perfectly developed. But what 1 had in mind was a peculiar condition which results from a sudden quitting of the stimulantS of various kinds. The man who drinks heavily. and who breaks away suddenly, is likely to have delirium tremens The nerves cannot stand the sudden change. It is too violent and pro- duces that condition which we call jimjams.. This, of course, applies to cases of alcoholism.
 Suppose we take the men who are in the habit of drinking a great quan- tity of coffee, or using considerable quantity of tobacco. They quit it suddenly. They do not taper off. as the saying goes. The quitting is ab- rupt. Now, in my experience have seen q good many cases where this method has produced exactly the same physiological conditions. Coffee pro- duces jimjams, tobacco produces jim jams, just as the use of whiskey pro- duces the same complaint Of course, there is q difference. But it is q diff ference of degree.
 DhlHS lne pdSI lew years nave had occasion to treat many cases of this kind. Men and women have come to me at different times with the statement that they could not sleep, and that they imagined vain things, their nerves were racked and all that sort of thing. and wheG I began to make q few inquiries about the mat ter l found they had simply quit using coffee, tobacco or something of that sort. In some cases 1 have found that the excessive use of these things will produce an unhappy result, from the standpoint of the nerves. In all of these cases we find what is supposed to be a condition of delirium Really that is what it is, and alcohol does not produce it more frequently than other things which have ] stimulating ef- feet. l have seen some rather curi- ouS cases of nervousness resulting from the excessive use of coffee and things of that sort, and some of them are amusing enough because of the failure of the persons afflicted to un- derstand it all.'-New Orleans Times Democrat.

CONDENSED MILK.

The following interesting statement by a prominent condensed milk manu- facturer will give some idea of the usefulness and extent of the sales of this staple:
 ''Condensed milk is a great traveller and for twenty years the label on the tin has been the message sent by America to millions of uncouth people who never heard of the great republic, and who, if the anti-climax may be al- lowed, never set eyes on a milch cow.
 The explorer and the missionary are the advance agents of condensed milk. It goes wherever they venture, and when the missionary has children it is the one thing his household can not do without There is no wilder ness where a discarded milk tin does not glitter in the sun. It has blazed the way across Africa; it has been very near to the pole, for Lieutenant Peary relates that eighteen years after the Greeley expedition cached canned rations in the frozen north he found the condensed milk as sweet and whoesOme as ever.
 In the fastnesses of northern Lu- Zon, where an American face has nev- CT been seen, General Young's soldiers found tins of condensed milk
 "Condensed milk can also be found all over Mongolia and Manchuria, and even in Thibet. The Chinese. who do not take milk in their tea. use the condensed article as food, chiefly for their children. In India, also, it has. q large sale for that purpose, and it is not too much to say that the product of the American factory has been the l pasulum of millions Of Asiatics.

QUEEN OF A HAREM.

A Boston dispatch says: Miss Boris Marlow, formerly of Philadelphia, now of Boston, was at one time the queen of Turkish harem She was kept q prisoner by wealthy pasha. but. through the good offices of an Englishman. managed to escape. and with the aid of the French police made her way out of the sultan's do- mains and reached this country in safety.
 According to Miss Marlows story her father, who is Philadelphia fruiterer. became associated in busi- ness with a native of Turkey. At that time Miss Marlow was 16 years old and rare beauty The- Turk paid her devoted attention They became en- gagged to be married and it was ar ranged that the marriage should take place in Turkey. The girl and her aftianced husband sailed for Europe and soon after arrived in Constanti- nople. 9r
 But the Turk, upon one pretext and another, kept postponing the marriage and three months elapsed, during which the girl lived with hel. fiancee's $ sisters. One evening he took her for q drive out into the country. Sud- denly the carriage was surrounded by number of men and the girl was captured and led away.
 The next day they took her to q town and she was sold to a wealthy pasha and installed by him as the fa- vorite of his harem.
 Miss Marlow gives an interesting account of her life in the harem. of the oriental beauties of the place, of the horror of it all to an American. and of her escape.
 It appears that the latest choice of the pasha becomes the queen of the harem. It was this choice that hap oily led to the escape of Miss Harlow for the deDosed queen. who happened to have fallen in love with her master became jealous of the new lady and

plotted to get her out of the way. It was her intention to poison the new queen. but as soon as she learned that Miss Marlow wanted to get away, she planned her escape, with the assist ance of one of the attendants.
 When. after midnight, Miss Marlow got out of the place, she was clad in the f1imsy robes of the harem, beneath q dark curtain that she had taken from her room. She told her story to q young Englishman who happened to be staying in the town, and with his assistance managed to get to Paris and thence to her home i'll Philadel- phia-Denyer Times.

PENNY FOR DINNERS.

The Physical Cuiture hXperlmeutal restaurant, which opened yesterday at Pearl street and City Hall place, had such busy time serving one-cent meals to hungry persons, of all ranks and classes, that when it opened this | morning Bernard McFadden. who is | behind the enterprise. ordered that Pot roast and potatoes. with whole wheat bread and butter.' the only 1O- cent dish on the bill of fare, should 1 be crossed out to-day. It was found that the great public clamored so loud ly for the 1-cent vegetarian dishes, and in particular pea soup, that it wasn't worth while bothering over the 10-cent one.
 Although as Mrs Trussell, the el- derly woman who, with MT Trussell, does the actual preparing of the food, remarked, my husband can make as nice brown gravy as anyone ever put 1 into his mouth.'' As now arranged the bill of fare at the new restaurant | is as follows:
 Large bowl of very thick pea soup ..1c Large bowl steamed hominy .......1c Large bowl steamed oats ......... .1c Large bow steamed barley ...... .1c Any of the above named dishes, with butter or syrup and with a slice of whole wheat bread and butter .. 5c Peas with whole wheat bread and butter DC Potatoes. with whole wheat bread ana butter. ....... DC Food coffee, with milk k..... Sc Food coffee, with cream ....... 5c Date and whole wheat meal pudding 5 Any one of the first four dishes, so Mrs Trussell says, is enough for meal. The pea soup is what the crowd clamors for. It isn't any watery fluid, but, as the bill s&ates, s'very thick,'' and the patrons can see just where it is made, which is even more important. They can look in the ice box, too, which is Spotless, and contains Elgin creamery butter made into pats- And then there is q jar on the counter con- taining little biscuit-shaped ioaves of what Mrs. Trussell says is the only perfect bread.
 "For forty years" sine says, ssmy husband and 1 have depended on that bread for our muscle and nerve energy. It's made out of graham four and wa ter, without any yeast. It's raised by the heat of the room, which has to be very hot. l guess if you were out on the plains you'd think that bread was the best thing you'd ever tasted"
 The Trussells eat no meat. They haven't for forty years, nor, so Mrs. Trussell says, taken any medicines either But before that Mrs Trussell says she was afflicted with about all the diseases that any One could have. and would very shortly have had to leave this plane of life.'' So Mrs. Trussell got q new plane and since then she has been all right She says that meat effects her ment Ny, as well as physically, and that would get the blues right away, began eat ing it.
