DEAD FROGS.
Were Killed by Coffee,

15-1000th of a single grain Of caffeine
from coffee, will kill frog of moderate
size. The frogs die of general paralysis
following violent tetanic commissions.
Falck, Stuhlmann, Brill, Johansen,
Leven and other famous scientists, and
Investigators have repeatedly proven it.
This same alkaloid caffeine. a power
full cerebro-spinal stimulant and diure-
tic irritant, was originally discovered in
1920. Eight years later theme was dis
covered in tea and the two drugs were
afterwards proven to be identical. Caf-
feline in coffee causes the sleeplessness,
increased frequency of the pulse. trem-
ulousness of heart, and frequent urina-
ton noticed after drinking strong cof-
fee. This explains the cause of the
nervous diseases that frequently come
to regular coffee and tea drinkers. The
drug slowly and surely poisons the sys-
tenn and finally brings on some form of
fixed disease like valvular heart disease,
dyspepsia, kidney complaint or some
other. unless the person is strong enough
to stand up against the drug.
Practically every steady coffee or tea
drinker shows some form of incipent
disease. Ask anyone you know and you
will seldom find one entirely well.
Where's the use in smuggling and drug
ging the poor old body until it totters
and trembles with diseased nerves?

Try it ten days or two weeks and your

HIS FACE SWOLLEN.
The President Il Greatly Grieved ct
Death of Craig.

Stockbridge, Mass, Sept. 3.-President
Roosevelt arrived in Stockbrtdge shortly
before IL o'clock having driven leisurely
across the country from Lenox. The
people had turned out to give him a
welcome, but the news of the accident
had preceded him. His face was badly
swollen and he was no doubt suffering
pain, but not to disappoint the crowd,
many of whom had driven some dis
lance to see him, he stopped just long
enough to say few words. He spoke
as follows:
'I presume you have heard that our
party met with an accident in which
one man was killed. Therefore. / shall
not address you beyond thanking you
for your kind reception and request
that you make no applause or demon
stration of any kind"
The president went Immediately to his
train which left as soon as he got
aboard
The president was calm and collected
and deplored the death of Craig.
He was the most faithful man I ever
knew" said he. My children fairly
wOrshfped him.
When Craig saw the impending dam
ger and that collision could not be
averted he was heard to say, "Oh, my
Co.., and then he was hurled through
the air and fell under the car wheels.
his head and body being mutilated all
most beyond recognition. On the right
of him was the driver, Pratt, who was
thrown distance of twenty-five feet.
me president asked the motOrElan:
Why were you running your car like
that?" which brought only the re-
Spouse, Because 1 had the right of
way"
The president, when he saw the car
at such terrific speed, said he felt that
all in the carriage would surely be kill
ed. Governor Crane suggested that the
best thing for him to do would be to go
to his train at once. Another carriage
was procured and in company with
Governor Crane, Secretary Cortelyou
and Representative Lawrence, the start
was made for Lenox. By the time the
president reached Lenox the people in
the town were in state of consterna-
ton. The swelling on the PRESIDENT
face was growing all the while, but he
kept his appointment at the Aspinwal]
hotel where he referred to the accident,
assuring the people he was not badly
hurt and requesting them not to ap-
plaud.

BABY HERO. WILL LIVE.

Seven years old and a saver OF
human lifel
That describes little Charlie
Hutchins, Highlandtown, Md.
Charlie is probably the youngest
hero having TO his credit the saving
OF human life by physical exertiou
in the world today. The rescued
one being the lads own brother, IL
years old.
Ills brother broke through the ice
In Colgate's creek and commenced to
cry for help: all the boys but Charlie
held back for fear of thin ice; the
little fellow, the tears streaming down
his cheeks and sobbing as if his
heart would break, tcddled off to
rescue the "big brother" he loved so
well; he crept out Oh the thin ice,
and turning on his stomach put out
his little feet for Harry to catch hold
OF; his half benumbed brother pulled
himself out of the air-hold and
cheated the grave.
Charlie is q delicate lad, weighing
just so pounds, and it was no wonder
that he fell ill and barely escaped
pneumonia.
