COFFEE AND ITS EFFECTS
To the Editor ocala Banner:

To the Editor ocala Banner:
Coffee ranks next to whiskey in
evil effects on man in the drinking
line. 1t contains a poison which is to
be found in the physicians poison
cabinet, along with strychnine, laud-
anum, etc.
Coffee is one of the most fiendish,
nerve-destroying drinks manufactur-
cd yet it is used by ninety percent
Oh the people. At hotel, 1 noticed
that out of four at a table three were
drinking coffee and one was drinking
tea. At a boarding house l noticed
that out of eight at a table there we're
six drinking coffee, one drinking tea
and one was drinking water.
Few parents realize that they are
committing a crime when they give
their babies coffee, and foster the de-
sire in them for the stimulant They
do not realize that when they give
them coffee they are poisoning their
minds and making nervous wrecks of
their children.
There are several brands of coffee
that are advertised as harmless.
Some firms advertise a cure for COT
fee drinking. These so-caIled cures
are nothing but drugs, to which, if
you use them, you viii become as
much a slave as you are to coffee.
Coffee has its worst effects on a
person between the stages Of baby
hood and manhood. After a person
is twenty-five years of age it is not
very injurious for them to drink cot
fee or even tea, which has a very bad
effect on a child's blood.
There are some other reasons which
I will not state, but will say that OF
the two evils-coffee and whiskey,
both containing a deadly poison
whiskey is the most preferable, be
cause the effects of whiskey are more
easily seen. A young man drinking
whiskey soon sees the i'll effects Of it,
and if his mind has not been dulled
and weakened by drugs, like those
contained in coffee, he will stop be-
fore he goes too far. But if a boy
sees his parents drink coffee at the
table as they take their food. he Will
want TO do the same.
Coffee has even a worse effect on a
woman than on a man, because, as d
rule, a man gets more exercise than
woman. thus rarity cOunteracting
the effects. There is one sure cure
for cOffee-One that has never failed
! Now. don't mistake this for an adver-
tisement. for it is not, unless, indeed
it is an advertisement for nature.
The cure that l guarantee to you is
that you drink pure unadulterated
water, not after each meal alone, but
as often each day as you want it
and when you do want it get it, nc
matter how busy you are; you should
always have time to get a drink OF
water.

A MONSTER OF THE DEEP
More Than Fourteen Feet Long and
Weighing Half a Ton

A special from Daytona says that
a stingeray of enormous size and pro-
portions was caught off the Casino
pier at DaytOna Beach, its exact
measurement from tip to tail was IA
feet and : inches and its width 6 feet
and II inches. It's weight is estimated
all the way from 600 pounds to half
a ton and it took the combined
strength of about twenty strong men
to pull it onto the sand at the beach
A continuous string of people were
vending their way to the beach until
a late hour to view the monster, and
Mr.. Cook. the owner of the beast, was
compelled to place a Waterman over
it all during the night to guard
against souvenir hunters despOiling
the animal or cutting its long tail.
Its capture was brought about in
the following way. About five weeks
ago Mr.. Edmund Cook of South Da-
kota. took up quarters at the Surf
Crest with his wife. On one Of his
former visits here he succeeded in
capturing two sharks, and he came
this winter rugged out with a hand
forged steel shark hook and 200 feet
of shark line. He succeeded in land
ing only one shark, but was troubled
almost every day by some animal of
unusual proportions breaking his
hooks like matches and tearing his
lines like threads.
For four weeks he has been sitting
at this pier almost daily, having sew
eral times been dragged nearly over
the railing into the ocean by some
monster which would not come to the
surface, but would take his bait
swirl to the bottom of the ocean and
make the water look like a boiling
mass. break the hooks or straighten
them out and get away, only to return
and repeat the same tactics, until at
last Mr. Cook wired two strong hooks
together and attached them to the
shark line, and on this rigging the
monster was caught and held long
enough by many strong arms until
| Photographer Smith and Mr. Morris
| Jr., put eight bullets into him, which
finally took the fight out of him. A
block and tackle was necessary to
hoist the monster under the pier in
order to have it photographed today
/ by Clark J. Smith, the Daytona Beach
artist.
The bulky monster will be left
hanging under the pier ali this day
and no doubt many of the tourists, es
! pecially those who or some former
iattempts at landing him so yaliantly
assisted. viii take a view Of him and
mo doubt now realize that it would be
/ as easy to hold a steamboat or & 10
connective IS to hold this ocean bat OF
/ sea devil on a shark line in the wa
tier.
/ For nearly four weeks Mr. Samuel
Hawks, of Corning, \. J., was the
faithful assistant of Mr.. Cook in his
