COFFEE CAUSES stomach
TROUBLE AND OLD Ace
Physician Says it Interferes With Di-
gestion and Hastens Death by
Hardening Arteries.

Among other physiological effects OF
coffee drinking it is found that this bev-
erage with its drug, caffeine, is one of
the causes of premature old age, accord
ing TO DR.. j. RI. kellogg, Of the Battle
Creek Sanitarium. He says:
"Ihe evil effects OF coffee on all per
sons of whatever age may be briefly
summed up as follows;
First. the fannie acid in coffee inter
feres with digestion.
second, the caffeine of coffee is a
nerve poison.
"Third, the effects produced are similar
to those of alcohol. When long used,
the result is damage to the poison de-
stroying glands, particularly the thyroid
gland, liver and the kidneys, as re-
suit hardening of the arteries and prema-
ture old age. All medical authorities
forbid the use of caffeine OF coffee TO per-
sons whose arteries are hardened OF who
have high blood pressure. This condition
is always present in elderly people
coffee is particularly bad for young
children, because the thyroid gland and
other misunderstanding glands are not
yet well developed. Any intelligent
parent would not permit a child 10 use

Pu>t-Ofiice Department Announces
Simplltied Method.

BY means of a greatly simplihed key
recently arranged by the United States
PostOrfce Department. it will be a
much easier task for merchants and
all others TO find the parcels post rate
to all the various zones.
With the new key all that is neces-
sary is to look In the post office guide 10
find the unit number of the place TO
which the parcel Is TO DO sent, and then
to place il on the official zone key.
Opposite the unit number will be found
the zone number. and thus the rate
may be learned. For instance, II the
post office to which n parcel is to he
sent has tho unit number $50. or any
number from 900 to 963. that post Off C
viii be found in Zone 4. and so on.
The new key does away with the ne
cessity Of locating every zone number
by means Of a map. and Is Il great
simplitcation of the old system.
The new key has been arranged with
every post-ofiice in the United States
as starting point, and it's compilation
was an almost endless task. Copies of
