OBNOXIOUS TIPPING PLAGUE
The tipping custom has been legislated against
in many , of the atates and in some of the foreign
countriea, hut all efforts to eliminate the plague
seems to have failed. Itr some of .the foreign coun
tries, the tipping practice Is made obligatory by
adding a certain percent to the meal ticket. In this
way,, the patron of the hotel or eating place is re
lieved of embarrassment of haying, to settle the
amount of the, tip for the waiter. ,
■ ,The Brooklyn Standard Union in commenting on
, the. practice, furnishes some interesting Information
on thecmrtpmt U.wyst , :
. -“American. .tWuwta,T»who in . the snmmer had

The new sytemi has been adopted in.,Holland but
not in Vienna, where even the passenger op tho
municipally; owned iwd operated tramway is expect-
t*d to tip. tho conductor.”
Some years ago n law was cnactod'ln this state
prohibiting tipping, but it was not long.lived, as few/
observed it. When traveling It is almost second, na
ture 1o tip the bell boy, the porter nnd the waiter
All of this class come under tho classification of
tipping. If it, is not done, theso people do as little as
is possible for the tourist,or traveler; if liberal tips
\fl» uven. there is nothing good enough for the, do-
hor, so after all, no doubt .the stranger, p»«ing
through receives n rotum for his tips.
However, such n law would save the public a
great deal of money whlohrfbey OhOtUd not Jie ax-
pected to hand out to everyone, who is serving in
the capacity of ‘‘waiter.” If the hotels would adapt
a prohibitive yule against tipping, we believe that it
would be a great Incentive for the public to seek
such a place in preference to those placeathat per
mit and.aUow their help to make a practice of,,ac
cepting and almost demanding money in return for
their services due the customers and.ahauld bo sup-

EXODUS FROM THE FARMS.

country over the statement of the lnrgc number who

Industrial field. In support of, his statements, he says
other fields of support and untili there becon ,
absolute shortage, of foodstuff, fidsnrtary. Jardine
-does npt believe that theso ppople will return to tho

Yes, Tea and Coffee Contain A
Drug—But It Doesn’i^ Hurt '
BY DR. MORRI3 FI8HBEIN
Journal of the Amoriesn
Medical Association and of Hygaia,
the Health Magazine-
Human be Ink* all over the world
have, aince time Immemorial, reg
ularly uaod drug* ot cne type or
another for various purpose*.
The natives of South America
chewed cocoa leaves because they
believed that this relieved fatigue.
Actually It gives t\ dose -of ctcnin
sufficient to abolish 'hunger and
to give n «*nso of euphoria or well
being, although In the long run
the habit la injurious to health.
Natives of the Orient /hew tfie
betel nut fop the some purpose.
It has been estimated that ons-
tenth of all human beings in the
world Indulge In this habit.
The use opium and its de
rivative, morphine, und the use
ot oocain anFaddictions apparently
difficult to overcome once they are
established, and apparently depend
to a large extent on weakness cf
the will as well as on some changes
brought about in the body by tho
habitual use of the substance.
Tea and' coffee contain caffein

said of coffee that it ia tho drink
whirh cheers but not inebriates.
It ia “a stimulant to the higher

The amount of cnffeln In a
of coffee or a cup of ten ia usually
sufficient to produce the drug ef
fects. It Is not habit.forming in
the jnrue sepso as are cpiura and
cocaln. The beift scientific evi
dence indicates that taken in mod-
eruation. tea and coffee are not
harmful.
Many persons are known who
have taken tea or coffee daily for
periods ct 50 or 10 years without
apparent III effects. «
On the other hand, ^children,
persons with unstable nervous
systems, persons who react
favorably jo stimulation of uny
kind, should avoid tea or coffee.
In such people sleep Is Interfered
With, and the system is constantly
whipped up to a point where the
nervous system is unable to with
stand the strain- m
ia also inadvisable, when 1
greatly fatigued, to attempt to
Ueve this feeling by drinking tea
©r coffee. This is like whipping u
tired horee. The caffein floes not
lieve tho fatigue, but merely gives
stimulus sufficient to overcome the
fatigue, placing, however .and added
burden upon the worn-out tissues.
A person engaged in mental ac
tivity sometimes finds a cup of
ceffeo a temporary bracer of great
value. Und in this ,way It may be
highly desirable, but not when
peai’edly usod without rest so that
the. effects of fatigue accumulate.
