Israel is bound up with that of the warning nations of Europe As one result of the titanic upheaval, it is quite possible that the dream of a Jewish nation in Palestine may be realized. If the Ottoman Empire goes down in the struggle, it is not at all improbab ble that the flag of Israel may again be hoisted over Jerusalem. Tn the manttine, the Jewish colonists in Palestine have suffered much in the last year, and the Zionist move ment in Europe has been disrupted.

ON TEA, COFFEE, AND COCOA.

Many person claim that the above
mentioned stimulants produce greater
energy, especially for mental work,
and that the process of thought may
be facilitated by their means What
ever this property may be, 1t is avail
able only in small amounts in such
stimulants and does not exceed a GER
tain limit beyond which lies danger,
for the same rule applies to these
beverages as to alcohol.
Some authorities condemn them en-
tirely and go even so far as to call
them poisonous. The best medical
thought, however, does not %condone
exaggeration and fanaticism in any
form but teaches moderation and So
briefly in all things. Millions of hui
nan beings who use these stimulants
daily would find life b~urdensome with
out them. Consequently, it would be
of little use to make prohibitions
which will Motive almost said cannot
be kept. We can with wisdom, how
ever, point out the dangers of the e
cessive use of tea, coffee and cocoa
and advise that some limit be set for
their use so that they may be taken in
moderation.
There are two varieties of tea, both
of which, however, are gathered from
the same plant; their only difference
lies in their method of preparation;
their differentiation is in color-black
and green. The most important ele-
ments in tea are theine-a substance
that is identically similar to caffeine
in coffee-certain oils, and tannin.
Green tea contains more theme, oils,
and fannie acid than black tea, hence
it is stronger.
A cup of tea is usually followed by a
feeling of great comfort; we fee
lighter and less fatigued as a result
of the combined action of the oils and
the theme. The fannie acid contained
in tea is often beneficial in certain oil
the diarrheas. Many persons do not
bear tea well because of the digestive
disturbances set up by the fannie acid
Hence it is not advisable to take tea
when the stomach is weak. Excessive
tea drinking is productive of nervous
irritability, sleeplessness, %palpitatiou
of the heart, trembling, etc. Small,
qualities of a strong infusion produce
the same results; hence it should be

taken weak. Tea is also more irritat-
ing to the kidneys than coffee.
The most important constituent of
coffee is caffeine which, as before men.
toned. is chemically identical with
theme. When coffee is roasted aro-
matte oils arise which give to it a de-
licious aroma. In moderate quantities
coffee exercises a beneficial effect
upon the kidneys. In excessive quaint
tiles it is a powerful stimulant to the
heart and nervous system. Hence,
when coffee is taken it is more hygi.
enic to take it not too strong and in
variably with cream or milk.
Cocoa is a very mild stimulant and
at the same a very valuable article
of food. AS it's active principle it con
tains theobromine, a substance similar
though not identical with caffeine. Co
Goa presents fewer drawbacks than tea
or coffee; it is less exciting to the
nervous system and is much more
nutritious as it contains albumins,
carbohydrates, and fats. We think
therefore, that it is clearly the best
of all stimulants in spite of the fact
that it very slightly increases the
amount of uric acid. Certain persons,
however, who possess an individual in
tolerance for cocoa should drink it
very weak or not at all.
We would very strongly advise
against the use of tea, coffee, or cocoa
for children. This is especially true
Of tea and coffee which, even in very
weak i%nfusions, are decidedly harmful
to the growing child.
1t is not advisable to drink either tea
or coffee three times a day. Often
coffee is used for the morning meal
and tea for the moo or eneing meal. In
this event not more than one cup
should be taken at each meal. Per-
sons who use tea or coffee only once a
day may take two cups provided the
infusion be not too strong.
Let us not forget that excessive tea
or coffee drinking endangers the heart
and nervous system. The damage
may not be apparent today or tomor-
row or even next year, but, constantly
developing, it will appear with the
passing seasons and, like all such pro-
gressive disorders cannot be quickly
repaired. We assure our readers that
such maladies leave much to be de-
sired and should be wisely avoided in
| the moderate use of tea and coffee.

Did you say they were dead?
Nay tits pot so.
True, they've gone from us to the land
above
And left this earth below
But they sleep, a sleep profound and
deep
And rest for their labor's DER.
Once they walked and talked like us,
On this earth below.
Conversed with us; and met with us,
Yes and helped us grow.
But they grew weary and God knew
best
And he babe them rest, forevermore
They are not dead; there is no death,
For they, who love the Lord
God is life and we are hid in him
When we trust in his word.
And this great change ascribed to
Is a manifestation of the power of
God.

Did l say my sisters did not die
While l know they've gone away
To return no more, for they reign on
high
Until that great and perfect day
Their lips grew pale there was a stare
in their eyes
But they are not dead, for they live
for aye.
We shall miss them for we loved them
everyone
Yes It's true
But God loved them best and took
them from us
To reign in the Heavens blue.

They await us in a fairer cline,

breath
And they went up there to shine.
We too must go but we fear not death
We are trusting in God sublime.
Hush. tread softly, bow the head,
We pause to drop a tear
For we are mortals and the sorrow has
