COFFEE AND ITS EFFECTS'.
Not Injurious Whan Used Moderately
by Persons In Health.
lu tbe light of the data that bave
been seen mu lu led In respect to tbe
physiological action of coffee It may
safely lie affirmed that it Is not lu-
jurlous when used moderately by rea-
sonablv healthy people,
With the
neurasthenic and tbe dyspeptic It Is a
somewhat different matter
While
nlnrming symptoms have followed the
ingestion of enormous quantities, there
1« no evidence that fatally toxic effects
have ever ensued.
Coffee is a mild stimulant, and the
effects are rather transient. Tbe mod­ 1
erate use of coffee will not make a
well man sick.
Such moderate use
will not occasion disagreeable symp­
toms I d tbe healthy, such as Insomnia,
headache,
nervousness,
drowsiness,
palpitation, dyspepsia, vertigo, etc. On
the other hand, it will obviate or re­
lieve fatigue.
|
We do not consider coffee a neces­
sary concomitant of civilized life,
which some extremists claim It to be.
To our minds It Is rather a luxury
which It la Dot necessary to dispense
with unless ooe Is compelled to do so
as a part of the attempt to combat

AUCTION SALES.
COURAGE OF NAPOLEON
Elisha Yale Held the First Ono In
England In 1700.
Tbe first auction gale in England
wag held Iti 1700 by Elisha Yale, who
bud been governor of Madras and who
adopted that plan for selling tbe East
Indian wares be bad brought borne
Tbe sale attracted wide attention and
I was so successful that others immedi
stely adopt«1 tbe plan.
Before tbe close of tbe eighteenth
century England began to place a tax
on auction sales, and at times these
duties have ranged as blgb as 5 per
cent In IMS the tax was repealed,
but a charge Imposed on tbe license to
be taken out by all auctioneers. Tbe
abuses at auctions, caused by combi­
nations of brokers to bld up tbe offer-
logs, led to tbe adoption of stringe l :
regulation
In America auctioneers of a certain
class bare also been guilty of manj
Impositions on tbe public. Fake "auc­
tion sales" of alleged bankrupt stocks
of merchandise, "fire sales" and simi­
lar schemes have long been used to
Impose on tbe credulous. At maDy
such sales tbe auctioneer baa confed­
erates In tbe crowd wbo start the bid­
ding and continue It until tome legiti­
mate bidder bas offered a price tbat
affords tbe promoters a handsome
profit Tbe imposition of heavy fines
and prison sentences bas discouraged
this class of auctioneers In most sec-
tions.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
