1t Is Not My Business. '

A wealthy man in St. Louis was asked to aid in a series of temperance meetings, but he scornfully refused. Being press ed, he said:
 "Gentlemen, it is not my busi- ness.
 A few days later, his wife and two daughters were coming home on the lightning express. In his grand carriage with liveried at tendants, he rode to the depot, thinking of bis splendid business and planning for the morrow. Hark, Did someone say "Acci- dent?" There are twenty-five railroads centering in St. Louis. If there has been an accident, it is not likely to have occurred on the --- and Mississippi Rail road. Yet it troubles him. It is his business now. The horses are stopped or the instant, and on inquiry he finds that the ac- cident has occurred twenty-five miles distant on the - and Mississippi. He telegraphs to the superintendent:
 Il will give you $500 for an engine. " The answer flashes back, Non'

Coca Cola Condemned.

It is reported that the War Department has forbidden the sale of Coca-Cola in post ex- changes, the action being taken after an official investigation of the effects af this common bever- age. Officers reported that the drink was harmful to health and morals, and it is said that Dr.
 Wiley, of the Department of Agriculture, found, upon analysis,
 that the drink contained both cocain and caffeine, in a majority of samples. We cannot speak

1t does contain caffeine and in much larger quantities than the same poison is contained in coffee. But aside from the question of what it contains, we believe that any man with ordinary sense can discover that the drink causes a serious disturbance of the nervous system. It ought to be let alone, and so ought a good many other popular drinks which are supposed to be entirely harm less. Good temperance people are properly unwilling to en- courage the use of beer as a beverage, yet it is highly probable that many drinks against which we raise no protest are much more harmful, glass for glass, than is beer. Alcohol is a poison and to be avoided; but we should not lose sight of the fact that alcohol is not the only poison.
