Then the article proceeds to de
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect OF
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
Where few years ago every.
body drank coffee. several cups q
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink it. (The underscoring is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths. carpen-
tiers, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use of
coffee; as there is not person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among his own circle Of acquaint-
ances. Is it not well for the Brazil
ians to sit up and take notice?"

feline in coffee clog the liver, de-
press the heart, and steadily tear

on one or more Of the dozens Of
types of diseases which follow
broken-down nervous systems,
many people don't know it.
But 1t remained for the man who
has coffee, morphine or whiskey
to sell, to have the supreme nerve
to say: you only imagine your
disorders. Keep on buying from

Some persons seem to have en-
cess vitality enough to use coffee,
tobacco and whiskey for years and
apparently be none the worse, but
the number is small, and when a
sensible man or woman finds an ar
t1cle acts harmfully they exercise
some degree Of intelligence by
dropping it.

Dill that has been creating distur-
Dance In the political arena Of the
capital city since its Introduction
IN fact the dissatisfaction concerning
the Nashville charter bill has gone
somewhat beyond the confines Of the
city and has appeared to reach out
through the State. This is probably
due to the belief among the Tennes-
see prohibs that the Nashville chart-
er IT adopted would endanger the ex-
cCtlon OF the Statewide law. The
