POISONING BY TEA.

When the Cup That Cheers May Be- come Msnacs Co Health.
 1t is only in comparatively recent times that tea drinking has been at all prevalent in this country. Coffee is the national drink and is more largely con- stunned by far than any other beverage, But tea drinking is making great strides. the reason for which is not hard to find The advantages of tea over coffee as stimulating and cheer ing drink do not consist in supeFiori- ty of it's, component parts, but in the fact that a good tea can be more easily produced than good coffee and that it is more easily made than coffee.
 A very great deal of the virtue. Of coffee consists in the manner In which 1t is converted into beverage. and seldom is the art carried out efficiently Many of the connections which are sold as coffee in restaurants and consumed in private houses are not worthy of the name On the other hand. tea is easily made. the chief point being that the water used for the infusion boils and that the infusion is drunk when fresh and not allowed to stand
 However, there are occasions. and these not infrequent. when tea drink ing is harmful Tea poisoning is q more or less common condition in those countries in which the habit of drink ing tea is prevalent. as in Engla nd. for instance Among the working classes the women often become addicted to the tea habit and not only drink to ex- cess. slipping tea throughout the day. but drink it in such state that the poisonous properties are most evident. The tea Is in stewed condition. the pot being kept on the stove the whole day. Men. too. who work at indoor trades and at trades which from their nature tend to create thirst often be- come excessive tea drinkers.-Medicai Rn4rSfff

STEvENS0N's REGRET.

The Authors Picture of the 6ritish
 Throne at Washington.
 Mrs. Osbourne gives an interesting glimpse of Robert Louis Stevenson fin conversation in the folio wing account of his second call on Mrs. Virgil Will Hams:
 He had peculiarly beautiful voioe. with rich. round. but not provincial Scotch accent While he conversed with Mrs. Williams he paced up and down the floor in his usual fashion. with rapid and graceful motion. or hung on the mauteipiece. It was not strange that the converse ton turned on the subject of the relations of America and Great Britain.
 Stevenson regretted that England had lost the colonies. He pictured the states under British rule, with Amer ica the seat of government of the whole empire. He dwelt upon the benefits that would have accrued to the whole English spea king race from such union and to all mankind. with Great Britain and America ruling the world for peace and Righteousness. In a flight of fancy and with ali the rich ness Of language that was his he pie tured the actual transporting of the fOyd AduAiv aho aii tHe pardI10efndiIa of government across the Atlantic, the pageantry Of the ships and the gor- geous landing and the setting up of the throne at Washington,
 'sWf1ile Stevenson was talking MT Williams came in. He looked doubt fully from Mrs. Williams to the stran- ger. for. as he told his wife afterward, he thought a tramp had got in and she could not get him out again. But it was only for a moment. and soon the two men were taIking with all the in- terest and pleasure of those who feel much in common. and from that day began a friendship that never ended until the death of Virgil Williams."- BoOkman.

FLOWERS FOR
 THANKSGIVING

The earliest Thanl<sgiving Day in America was the one kept by the Pil- grim fathers at Plymouth, Ma ss, in 1921, because of their gratitude to the Almighty for an abundant harvest; and Thanksgiving was again oft en ob- served during that and the ensuing century, and also annually during the Revolutionary War; and special thanksgivings were appointed for the return Of peace in 1784, and upon the and. again. in gratitude for the gem elal welfare of the nation in 1795. It's observance was renewed by President Madison for the return of peace in 1915. The Episcopal church in 1789 rec ognized. formally, the authority Of the Government to appoint thankGgiyings, and the Catholic church in 1888. The Thanksgiving festival has been annu- ally ol served since 1877 ill New YorK State; and the presidents of the Uni- ted States since 1863. have annually appointed, by proclamation, the last Thursday of November as Thanksgiv- ing.
 This festival, for such it long ago % giving. - is S characterizeS a a.s M b ythe reunion of families, kinsmen and old friends around the family board, loaded with such favorite viands as roast turkey, goose and pig, followed by chicken pie, the Indian pudding, mince and pump kin pie, and the ever present cranber- ry sauce to go with the turkey or goose
 As nations refinement increases. there arises in it a longing for the beautiful which is almost as urgent as it's natural appetite for food, and so it has come to be more and more Ithe custom at Thanksgiving, when the family and invited guests gather in a glad reunion around the hospitable board, for the host t6 deck his table and home with flowers, with which the Thanksgiving season is so Fep1ete, namely. the fragrant Violet. the deli cate Lily of the Valley, the exquisitely beautiful Orchid, lovely GaFdenia, and pretty Swet Pea for the ladies' cor sages, and the Carnation, flower of gods for the gentlemen's boutonnieres.

Woman Suffrage In Michigan Is
 Still In Doubt

Detroit, Nov. 22The fate of the woman suffrage amendment voted on at the recent election is again in doubt Complete returns from 61 of the S4 counties in the state show a fa- vorab1e majority for the amendment of 142s6 These figures. however, do not include the vote in Wayne Coun- ty (Detroit), where unofficial reports indicate an adverse majority of about 14, 900.
 The unusual delay in reporting the vote from Wayne County has led to charges of fraud by advocates of the amendment. It is alleged by friends of the measure that the vote in this county is being. withheld until it can be definitely learned the exact num- Der of votes necessary for it's defeat. This delay caused Gov. Osborne to de- mand that the official figures be cer- tified to the Secretary of state imme- diately.
 'sThe question seems to be largely one as to whether the liquor interests will control and run Michigan, said the governor, today. eff the liquor in- terests defeat the amendment, the fraud, proved or suspected, the people of Michigan will reta1iate in my opin- ion, by adopting statewide prohibi- tiou.'

 Postmaster Marigo1d has about 300 of these at the local post office, gath cred within the last few days. The postal regulation covering this class of mail matter is strict. It provides that no cards of this sort will be shipped through the mails. In order to send such posta Is they must be enclosed in a sealed envelope.
 This regulation was made because of the nuisance arising from the scat. tering of the tinse1 and similar coat ings of cards through the other mail matter and of the injurious effect it was believed to have had upon the mail clerks

Women in Politics.

As long ago as 1878 women were among the speakers at both Republican and Democratic national conventions, and in 1900 MT. Bryan's nomination was seconded by a woman delegate from Utah. The first woman's suffrage convention was held at Seneca Falls, N T.. in f648. But the movement was by no means new even then. Abigail Adams and Mary Warren tried to se- cure recognition of women when the federal constitution was made. and in colonial days Margaret Brent. as ex- ecutrix of Lord Baltimore. demanded a seat in the assembly of Maryland Chicago News.
