A man is prosperous in his business for number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the 'leveling infiu- ence" at work on him. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps it is whiskey, to- bacco, coffee, women. gambling. or some other form. The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses.
 A nation becomes prosperous aud great like ancient Rome. If no leveling Influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "leveI- CTS" at work. Luxury, over eating and drinking. Iicentiousness, waste and ex- travagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure, Sure.
 The law of the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same pro- caees Weakness Gin chfldhood), gradual growth of strength, energy. thrift. pru6ity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease. relaxation, selfsindulgence, lux ury, likeness, waste. debauchery, dis ease. ana the wreck follows. The lev elers" are in the bushes along the path way of every successful man and wo- man and they bag the majority.
 Only now and then can a man stand out against these 'Ievelers" and hold his fortune, fame and health to the end.
 So the Creator has use for whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and keep them back in the race, so that the great ''heid' (the massey may not be left too far behind.
 And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed 1t in the power of man to stand upright, clothed in the afmor of a clean cut steady mind and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of potage."
 T will not deaden my senses. weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap. common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whiskey, tobacco or coffee, life is too short. It Is hard enough to win the good things, without any sort of handicap, so a man Is certainly a fool trader when he trades strength. health, money and the good things that come with power for the half asleep conditions of the 'drusser' with the certainty of sickness and disease ahead"
 It Is a matter each individual must decide for himself. He can be a leader and semi-god if he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap newer of wood or carrier of water"
 Certain 1t is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to mind" If some of his children are foolish and stupid, he eeems to select others (per- haps those he intends for some special work) ana allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these '1evelers."
 If man tries flirting with these Jewellers awhile. and gets e few slaps as hint. he had better take the hint or a good solid blow will follow. When man tries to live uprirht clean. thrifty. sober, and undrugged. manifestinG as near as he knowa what the Creator intends he should, happI- ness. health and peace seem to come to him.

 It has been the business of the writer to provide a practical and easy way for people to break away from the coffee habit and be assured of a return to health and all of the good things that brings. provided the abuse has not gone too far. and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilt on a basIs of strength and health run into the thous- anda
