brown collie dog which showed

master, who had in the meantime de-

All day long the dog stood at the

him. The porters and janitors and

him to leave the building at night, but

the human animal is determined to
assert his superiority over ALI the

displays in discovering or manufAc-

The great majority of mankind are
the slaves of one or more poison
habits. OF these habits the tea habit
is one of the most subtle, insinuating

1T is mooted point whether tea
does not do more harm in this country
than alcohol. 1t does not make its
victims drunk and incapable but It
certainly does make them drunk. To

dendent on it, is to be tea drunk.

And the great-grandfather used to tell
my friend Harmsworth that the Co
lumbus story had been told to him
when he was boy OF 9-that is in the
year 1724-by an aged great uncle Of
his who was nearly a hundred at the
time, having been born in 1924. This
great-uncle used to tell Harmsworth's
great-grandfather that he had first
heard the story when he was about 10
years old from the lips of one Will
liam Sutcliffe, retired sailor, who
was then in his 9Sth year. having been
born in 1886. Sutcliffe went to sea
when he was boy OF -, shipping as
cabin boy in brig bound for Vigo.
Spain. and there he fell in with an old
sailor, 70 years of age, one Marco
Guzman, who, as lad Of is. had
sailed with Columbus to discover the
new world. And Marco. the sailor.
told Sutliffe the story.
80 you see. from the lips OF that
sailor Of the Santa MariA to my ears
the story came through only four per-
sons-Sutcliffe. the great-uncle, the
great-grandfather and my friend
Harmsworth. A few years ago, when
Harmswor.a was living, he could have
said that between him and a sailor OF
Columbus only three lives intervened.
So. you see. after all tradition is o
thing not to be lightly disregarded."
"And what was tho story?" asked
one OF the party.
"Oh, I have forgotten Just how 1t
went now" said the statistician.

Tradition" said another man, "are
you aware how few lives it takes to

stance, the discovery OF America
seems long time ago, and I suppose
traditions concerning Columbus and
his crowd you would consider Of no
reliability; yet. do you know, that
only four lives intervene between me

Yes, sir. ! am in possession OF a story
told by sailor of the Santa Maria,
which passed through only four peo-
pie before 1t got to me, and yet it
Ipanned the centuries from 1892 to
the present time. The story was told
me by Christopher Harmsworth. who
died in 1885, at the age of 95-a clear
headed old man with an excellent
memory, especially for things he had
learned in youth-like most old peo-
pie.

The Coffee Debate.

Please remember we never say o.
dinary coffee hurts everyone
Some people use 1t regularly and
seem strong enough to withstand its
attacks, but there is misery and dis
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in its use when nature
protests, by heart weakness, stomach
and bowel troubles, kidney disease,
weak eyes or general nervous proStra-
ton. The remedy is obvious. The
drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary
coffee, must be discontinued absolute
ly or the disease will continue in spite
of any medicine and will grow worse.
1t is easy to leave off the old-fash-
ioned coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee, for in it one finds pleasing
hot breakfast or dinner beverage that
has the deep seal brown color, chang
ing to rich golden brown when good
cream is added. When boiled long
enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not
that of rank Rio coffee but very like
the milder. smooth and high-grade
Java. but entirely lacking the drug
effect Of ordinary coffee.
Anyone suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely de-
pend upon some measure of relief by
quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee.
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea.
son expect it to disappear entirely In
reasonable time after the active
cause of the trouble is removed and
the cellular tissue has time to natural-
ly rebuild with the elements furnished
by Postum and good food.
It's only just plain old common
sense.
Now, with the exact facts before the
reader. he or she can decide the wise
course, looking to health and tho
power to do things.
II you have any doubt as to the
cause of any ache or all you may have.
remember the far-reaching kilograms
of a hurt nervous system travel from
heel to head, and it may be well worth
your while to make the experiment Of
leaving Off coffee entirely for ten days
and using Postum in Its place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts, worth more than a gold
mine, for health can make gold and
sickness lose it. Besides there's all
the fun, for it's like a continuous in,
ternal frolic to be perfectly veil.

discovered one OF the slaves of the cof-
fee importer. Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction Of
body and health.
Nature has a way OF destroying a
part Of the people to make room for
the stronger. 1t is the old law Of "the
survival Of the fittest" at work. and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people. not all. but
an army large enough to appal the in
vestigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
of roasted peas, beans or corn, and
mixed with low grade Of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$100,O0000 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our WAGER
and they will not.
We will gladly make present Of

that wager.
