THE ANTI-TEA AND COFFEE
MOVEMENT

5.-Be it known, that we, the men,
bers of the Anti-Tea and Coffee
League, have resolved to start an
Anti-Tea and Coffee crusade for
public benefit and welfare. We, the
members of this League, recommend
that the importation of tea and c0f-
fee be prohibited at once. Detailed
analysis Of said tea and coffee by our
League Chemist, shows that tea con-
tains (Tannin) and coffee contains
(Caffeine.) Both these stimulants
are very destructive to the human
mind and body. After we, the MEM
bers of the Anti-Tea and Coffee
League, have forced thru legislative
channels our cause, and are blessed
with the proper lawful authority,
we, the members, will prohibit the
sale of said injurious tea and coffee.
We, the members, recommend the
following drinks as substitutes for
tea and coffee. They are as follows:
Parsnip tea, sassafras tea, beet
POODLE, tansy tea Every good for
children with worms.) Anti-chalk

THE .ANT1-SILO MOVEMENT

6.-Be it known, that we, the
Artistic Leagues, do favor the aboli-
ton Of all silos, as our research and
information received, thoroughly
convinces, us that corn and alfalfa
laced in a silo, will within short
time start to ferment. In the Sahara
Code, fermentation of any sort is a
direct violation of Sec. 10, Article B.
v. D. of the U-Kant-Havit Law. The
ensilage contained within said silo,
gives off Injurious and intoxicating
alcohol, and the cattle that partake
of said ensilage, have been known to
be drunk (intoxicated.) We, the
members of the Artistic League, do
condemn silos and ensilage as food
constituent for cattle. We aim to pro-
tect the cattle, and prevent them
from becoming addicted to the alco-
hOlic evil;

DESTROYING OLD MYTHS

that Richard III was not a hunchback. that Columbus
didn't make the egg stand on end and through al

went down 10 Jericho and fell among thieves be any

Il is impossible that Helen of Troy and Cleopatra of
Egypt were not vamps that Alexander never wept for

ly Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, wife of the
inventor, and members Of the Woman's
Club, OF Orange, NJ j., an influential or.
