REPORT ON PURCHASES
 FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS.
State Purchasing Agent Was Not Rec
 commended by Committee.

A meeting held in the old senate chamber in the capitol at Hartford on Thursday to consider the matter of making purchases for state Institutions was attended by about 20 heads Of in stitutions and others interested in their management. Dr. Henry S. Noble. superintendent of the Connecticut hos- pital for the insane at Middletown, presided, and Dr. Henry M. Pollock, superintendent of the Norwich hospital for the insane, was secretary.
 The report of the committee ap- pointed at a previous meeting was considered. The report recommended that a permanent organization to con sist of managers and heads of the various institutions of the state be eff fected.
 It also recommended that a joint committee on purchase and the stan ardization of commodities Sbe estab- lished, consisting of the comptroller of or one of the state auditors, one mem bers from the state tuberculosis com mission and the head or other repre- sentative of each of the following in stitutions: State tuberculosis sanatori- ums at Norwich, Meriden, Newington and Shelton; Connecticut hospital for insane. Norwich hospital for insane, epfleptic colony, the Connecticut state prison, Connecticut state reformatory, Connecticut school for boys, Connecti- cut industrial school for girls, Connec- ticut school for. imbeciles and Fitch's home for soldiers and soldiers hospi- tai.
 The committee did not recommend a. state purchasing agent, and the members who took part in the discuss sion impressed on the meeting that the committee did not make a recom- mendation to that effect
 Former Governor Frank B. Weeks said the committee had given a great deal of attention to the conditions in Massachusetts, but the trustees of the Connecticut hospital for the insane, whom he represented, had found that the cost of things purchased for their institution was 50 cents less per capita than in that state where there was a purchasing agent. The per capita cost at the Connecticut hospital for the in- sane was $3.50.
 A resolution was adopted to the ef- feet that it was the sense of the meet ing that an organization be formed and that g. committee of seven be appoint ed, with the object of securing a better method for the purchase of supplies and to look into other matters for the benefit of the institutions of the state

Says tt's all Right as a Medicine But Not as a fcod-Contsins De-
 struetiVe Drug Caffeine.

Tea and coffee are not in any sense food, therefore cannot add constructive tissue to our bodies" declares Dr. Joseph M. Akin, of Omaha, Neb. ''This IS not the worst of it." says Dr. Akin.
 Any substance that is not wholly a food. or that contains destructive in excess of constructive elements for tissue building, is harmful.
 The caffeine and theine in coffee and tea are cerebral stinulants, the tannie acid Is an astringent, affecting especi- ally the muscular flores in the intes- tinal walls. They are useful as Inedi- cine, but not as food. Tea and coffee inenriety is increasing more rapidly than our native born population"
