Even When the Facts About Coffee

1t Is curious how people will refuse
to believe what one. can clearly see.

coffee-tends to weaken the neart, up
set the nervous system and cause indi-
gestion and they may laugh at you II
they don't know the facts.
Prove it by science or by practical
demonstration in the recovery of cot
fee drinkers from the above conditions,
and a large per cent OF the euman fam
lily will shrug their shoulders, take
some drugs and-keep on drinking COT
fee or tea.

ports along the eastern coast is that of
Il fishing schooner coming into the har-
Dor with an American flag hoisted at

flag always brings a pang of distress,
for it means that one or more of the
crew are missing through some calam-
ity of the sea. But to the members of
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe The flag is hoisted
from their viewpoint to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship is not full and they live on hope
for long time before they aCkuowl-
