The Use of Tea.

originally cultivated in China, but now
grown extensively in India, Ceylon and
Japan, and to very small extent IN
the United States. Ii has no food
value in itself, for it is pure stimu-
liant, and as such is injurious unless
used in moderation. Tea and coffee
have virtually the same effect on the
body, and owe their stimulating prop
critics to the same chemical substance,
though il is called theme when il ap-
pears in tea and caffeine when il ap-
pears in coffee. This substance, which
we may as we'll call by its more CON-
mon name, caffeine, is present in the
proportion of about three or four per
cent in tea and one and one half TO
two per cent in coffee. Since We use
a larger amount of coffee than OF tea
to make cupful, the quantity of caf-
feline in a cupful Of coffee about equals
the quantity in a cupful Of tea.
Caffeine is similar in chemical COM
position and in stimulating properties
as we'll as in its power TO bring about
injurious effects-to creatine, which is
present in beef tea. Judging BY the
fact that nearly everyone drinks either
tea or coffee, it is probable that, ex-
cept in unusual cases, a moderate
amount of caffeine taken daily does
no special harm. Those who preach
against the use Of those beverages as
sert, however, that they contribute IN
the disturbances attributed 10 an eN-
cess or uric acid in the blood-high
blood pressure, rapid pulse, headache,
vertigo, insomnia, rheumatic pains and
disease Of the kidneys. One effect OF
tea or of coffee taken with meals is 10
retard digestion, which is not always
undesirable, as it prolongs the stay
ing power" of a meal; but when diges-
ton is poor, often no benefit results
from treatment until the patient ceases
entirely TO use tea and coffee.
We best appreciate the benefit OF
tea as a stimulant il we take il in the
afternoon when our energy has begun
to flag little; then a cup Of weak tea,
without food, will give US renewed
strength to finish the days work. Two
small cupfuls taken an hour or two
apart will do more good than one large
cupful; but in the United States few
of US seem to have the time FOR even
one cupful, although it woCld perhaps
be better for some OF us il we took
few minutes early in the afternoon
for the cup that cheers, rather thaa to
wait until later when we are tagged.
Tea should be poured on the leaves
very quickly; most persons let it stand
too long, and thus extract too much oil
the caffeine as we'll as OF tannin. II is
a curious fact that the tea habit, or
its equivalent in coffee, cola, Paraguay
tea, or guarana, is almost worldwide
Caffeine is far nearer universal form
| Of stimulant than alcohol

In the past there has been too much

day of equalization when these condi-

should prepare. One of the important
steps is to go to the polls in September

Expenditures for Roads

Instead OF syStema attic preparation and
study, the attempt has been made to learn
by doing, and the money of the State has
gone into mudholes and on lodges, into
clay as well as sand, under one general
rule OF application, the result being ruin
in short time. Betty cen 1918 and 1918
the State Highway Commission has spent
SO, 357, 1853 That improvement has re-
suited, must certainly be admitted, but
at terrible cost. When State roads, stone
roads, costing Sc, 600 mile or more, go
to pieces in two years, in spite of daily
repairs and supervision by weil-paid
agents, something is wrong, and to find
the cause and then change practices to
conform to the demands of the situation
seems the first step indicated.
With all the improvement made the
question of permanent roads is still in the
air, but there's something behind of
greater significance to the taxpayer. 1t
is the proposed change in the constitution
to permit radical increase in the debt
limit, that 10000, 900 may be made avail
able for highway purposes, wholly indie
pendent OF what the towns may raise at
their annual town meetings
The one feature which calls for action
by the tax payer, is that under the final
action by the Legislature, this $40, 600, 600
if the voters permit the increased bond
issue, becomes a permanent debt for all
time
Maine receives from automobile fees
yearly very close to 100000, SO that it
is easy to claim that far more than the
interest on this bond issue is provided for,
but that is not the point. Every wise
business man provides for the earliest
possible payment of principal as well as
interest and sets aside yearly sinking
fund, so that when the obligation mat
ures, the debt will be cancelled Failure
to so provide will force the thinking man
to vote "no" at the special election in
| September. A state debt becomes claim
against the property of every taxpayer,
| and prudence as well as good foresight,
| demands that not only economy be insist
ed on at every step. but that safe provi-
sion be made for payment of interest and
principal.
Improved highways are a necessity,
| but their permanence and consequent
protection are equal obligation on all in
authority.

pieces of so much of our state road, after
only one or two years. use, it should be

may have been carried as a keepsake
by one of the Spanish conquerors and

The coin is valued by Mr.. Hibler,
