A reporter who waa soekiug for Mr.

him by a fellow-townsnmu, found that
stalwart carpenter engaged in putting a

response to an inquiry, tho robust work
muii dropped nimbly to a seat on tho
window bench, and said :
" Yes; I owe my recovery to Dr. Wil

In fact, I think there aro only two kinds

"After that I had rery trying dizxy

and Hpand every other day in hed. For
two months I did not leave the houso.
I could not concentrate my eyua on an

NOTE. The following article has
ocen widely published and is one of
:be most remarkable illustrations of
the value of careful macsballlng and
malysis of facts In presenting a sub
ject to the public.
LEVELERS.
The Mirtnion of WIiImUcj-, Tobacco mill
Co li ce.
The Creator made all things, we be
leve. If so. He must have made these.
We know what He made food and
vater for, and air and sunshine, but
.vhy Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee?
They are here sure enough aud en eh
erforiuing Its work.
There must be some great plan be
.hid it all; the thoughtful man seeks
.o understand something of that plan
uid thereby to Judge these articles for
their true worth.
Let us not say "bnd" or "good" with
out taking testimony.
There are times and conditions when
It certainly seems to the casual observ
er that these stimulant narcotics nre
ronl blessings.
ItiKht there is the ambush that con
ceals a "kllllnt;" enemy.
One can slip Into the habit of either
'whiskey, tobacco or coffee easy
?nough. but lo "untangle" Is often n
fearful struggle.
It seems plain that there nre cir
cumstances when the narcotic effect
of these poisons is for the moment
bcuellclal but the fearful argument
against them is that seldom ever does
ou Unci a steady user of either whis
key, coffee or tobacco free from dls
pa.v of some kind.
Certainly powerful elements In their
iffeei on tho human race.
It Is a inntter of dally history testl
led to by literally millions of people,
hat Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee are
nulling, promising, beguiling friends
m the start, but alvayn false as lieli
,tseif in Hie end. Once they get 11 rm
uolii enough to show their strength,
.hey insist upon governing and drive
.he victim steadily towards 111 health
.n some form; If permitted to con
;hiue to rule, tbor -will not let up nut tl
physical and mental ruin sets in.
A man under that spell (nnd "under
th spell" is correct), of any one of
these drugs, frequently assures hlm
olf and his friends, "Why I can leave
otr any time I want to. I did quit for
week Just to nhow I could." It Is a
mre mark of the slave when one gets
to that stage. He wiggled through a
week fighting every day to break tho
spell, was finally whipped, nd began
his slavery all over again, .
The slave (Coffoe slnve as well as To
bacco and Whiskey) dally reviews his
condition, fee perfectly plain the
steady encroachments of disease, how
the nerTes get weaker day by day and
demand the drug that seems to
smile and offer relief for a few min
utes and then leaves the diseased con
dition plainer to view than ever and
growing worse. Many times the Cof
fee slavo realizes that he is between
two tires. He feels bad If he leaves
off nnd a little worse If he drinks and
allows tho effect to wear off.
So It goes on from day to day. Every
night the struggling victim promises
himself that he will break the habit
aud next day when he feels a little
bad (as he Is quite sure to) breaks, not
tho habit, but his own resolution, it
Is nearly always a tough tight, with
disaster ahead sure If the habit wins.
There have been hundreds of thous
ands of people driven to their graves
through disease brought on by coffee
drinking alone, and It Is quite certain
that more human misery Is caused by
coffee and tobacco than by whiskey,
for tho two llrst are more widely used,
nnd more hidden and Insidious lu the
effect on nerves, heart nnd other vital
organs, anil nre thus unsuspected un
til much of the dangerous work Is
done.
Now, header, what Is your opinion
as to the real use the Creator has for
those things? Take a look at the ques
tion from this point of view.
There Is a law of Nature and of
Nature's God that things slowly evolve
from lower planoH to higher, a sturdy,
steady and dlgnltled advance toward
more perfect things In both tho Physl
cal and Spiritual world. The ponder
ous tread of evolutionary development
Is fixed by the Intlnlte and will not
he qulckoned out of natural law by any
of man's methods.
Therefore we see many illustrations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises phenomenal
crops of corn for two or three years.
If she continued to do so every year
her farmers would advance In wealth
far beyond those of other sections or
countries. So Nature Interposes a bar
every three or four years and brings
on a "bad year."
Here we see the leveling influence at
work.
A man is prosperous in his business
for n number of years and grows rich.
Then Nuturo sets the "leveling Intln
ence" at work on him. Some of his in
vestments lose, he becomes luxurious
and lazy. Perhaps It Is whiskey, to
bacco, coffee, women, gambling, or
some other rorm. The intent and pur
pose is to level him. Keep him from
evolving too far ahead of the masses.
A nation becomes prosperous and
great like ancient Rome. If no level
ing inlluence set In she would dominate
the world perhaps for all time. But
Dame Nature sots her army of "levcl
ers" at work. Luxury, overeating and
drinking, licentiousness', waste and ex.
travagance, Indulgences of all kinds,
then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure,
ure.
The law of the unit is the law of the
mass. Man goes through the same
process. Weakness (in childhood),
gradual growth of strength, energy,
thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth,
comfort, ease, relaxation, self-Indulgence,
luxury, Idleness, waste, de
bauchery, disease, and the wreck fol
'ows. The "lovelorn" are iu the bushes
along the pathway of every successful
muii and woman and they bag the ma
jority. Only now and then can a man stnnd
out against these "levelers" and hold
his fortune, fame and health to the
end.
So the Creator hns use for Whiskey,
Tobacco and Coffee to level down the
successful ones and those who show
signs of being successful, nnd keep
them back In the race, so that the
great "tleld" (the masses) may not be
left too far behind.
And yet we must admit that same
all wise Creator has placed It In the
power of a man to xtand upright,
clothed In tho armor of a clean cut,
steady mind and say unto himself, "I
decline to exchange my birthright for
a mess of potage."
"I will not deaden my senses, weak
en my grip on affairs and keep myself
cheap, common and behind in fortune
and fame by drugging with whiskey,
tobacco or coffee; life Is too short. It
Is hard enough to win the good things,
without any sort of handicap, so a
man is certain a "fool trader" when
he trades strength, health, money, nnd
the good things that come with power,
for the half-asleep condition of the
"drugger" with the certainty of sick
ness aud disease ahead.
It is a matter each individual must
decide for himself. He can be a leader
and semi-god if he will, or he can go
along through life a drugged clown, a
.heap "hewer of wood or carrier f
wnter."
Certain It Is that while the Great
Father of us all does not seem tb
"mind" If some of his children are
foolish and stupid, Ho seems to solect
others (perhaps those He lutends for
some special work) and allows them to
be threshed and castigated most fear
fully by these "lerelers."
If a man tries flirting with these
levtlers awhile, and gets a fw slaps
ns n hint, he hnJ htir tV the hint
or a good solid blow will follow.
When n man tries to lire upright,
clean, thrifty, sober, and uudrugged,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator Intenus he should, happi
ness, health and peace seem to come to
hhn. Does it pay?
Thin article was written to sot peo
ple thinking, to rouse the "God within"
for every highly organized man nnd
woman has times when they feel a
poinethlug cnlllng from within for them
to press to the front and "be about tho
Father's business," don't mlstn' c Hi
the spark of the lullnlte Is there and
It pays In every way, health, happi
ness, peace, and even worldly prosper
ity, to break off the habits and strip
clean for the work cut out for us.
It has been the business of tft
writer to provide a practical and easy
way for people to break away from
the coffee habit and bo assured of a re
turn to health ami all of the good
things that brings, provided the abuse
has not gone too far, and even then tba
cases where the body has boon rebuilt
on a basis of strength and health run
Into the thousands.
It Is nn easy and eotufortnble step to
stop coffee Instantly by having well
made Postum Food Coffee served rich
and hot with good cream, for the col
or and flavor Is there, but none of the
caffeine or other nerve destroying ele
ments of ordinary coffee.
On the contrary, the most powerful
rebuilding elements furnished by Na

set about repairing the damage. Sel
dom Is It more than 2 days after th
change Is made before the otd stomach
or bowel troubles or complaints ot
kidneys, heart, head or nerves show
unmistakable evidence of getting boU
