NOTE. The following article has
been widely published and is one of
-the most remarkable illustrations of
the value of careful marshalling and
analysis of facts in presenting a sub-
ject to the public.
LEVELER8.
The Mission of AVhiskoy , Tobacco and
Coffee.
The Creator made all things , we be-
lie-e.
If so , He must have made these.
We know what He made food and
water for. and air and sunshine , but
why Whiskey , Tobacco and Coffee ?
They are here sure enough and each
performing its work.
There must be some great plan be
hind it all ; the thoughtful man seeks
to understand something of that plan
and thereby to judge these articles for
their true worth.
Let us not say "bad * ' or "good" with
out taking testimony.
There are times and conditions when
it certainly seems to the casual observ
er that these stimulant narcotics are
real blessings.
Right there is the ambush that con
ceals a "killing" enemy.
One can slip into the habit of either
whiskey , tobacco or coffee easy
enough , but to "untangle" is often a
fearful struggle.
It seems plain that there are cir
cumstances when the narcotic effect
of these poisons is for the moment
beneficial but the fearful argument
against them is that seldom ever does
one find a steady user of either whis-
key , coffee or tobacco free from dis
ease of some kind.
Certainly powerful elements in their
effect on the human race.
It is a matter of daily history testi
fied to by literally millions of people ,
that Whiskey , Tobacco and Coffee are
smiling , promising , beguiling friends
on the start , but always false as hell
itself in the end. Once they get firm
Hold"enough to show their strength ,
they insist upon governing and drivo
the victim steadily towards ill health
in some form ; if permitted to con
tinue to rule , they will not let up until
physical and mental ruin sets in.
A. man under that spell ( and "under
the spell" is correct ) , of any one of
these drugs , frequently assures him
self ? and his friends , "Why I can leave
off any time I want to. I did quit for
a week just to show I could. " It is a
sure mark of the slave when one gets
to that stage. He wiggled through a
week lighting every day to break the
spell , was finally whipped , and began
his slavery all over again.
The slave ( Coffee slave as well as To
bacco and Whiskey ) daily reviews his
condition , sees perfectly plain the
steady encroachments of disease , how
the nerves 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 slave realizes that he is between
two fires. He feels bad if he leaves
off and a little worse if he drinks and
allows the 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
and next day when he feels a little
bad ( as he is quite sure to ) breaks , not j
the habit , but his own resolution. It
is nearly always a tough fight , with
disaster ahead sure if the habit wins.
There have been hundreds of thousn
amis 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 the two first are more widely used ,
and more hidden and insidious in the
effect on nerves , heart and other rital
organs , and are thus unsuspected un
til much of the dangerous work ia
done.
Now , Reader , 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 planes to higher , a sturdy ,
steady and dignified advance toward
more perfect things in both the Physi
cal and Spiritual world. The ponder
ous tread of evolutionary development
is fixed by the Infinite and will not
be quickened 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 yeara and brings
on a "bad year. "
Here we see the leveling influence at ,
work.
A man is prosperous in hie business
for a number of jrears and grows rich.
b
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 form. 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 liks ancient Rome. If no level
ing influence set in she would dominate
the world perhaps for all time. But f'
Dame Nature sets her army of "level
ers" at work. Luxury , overeating and
drinking , licentiousness , waste and ex
travagance , indulgences of all kinds ,
then comes the wreck. Sure , Sure ,
The law of the unit is the law of the
mass. Man goes through the same
process. Weakness ( in childhood ) ,
cradual growth of strength , energy ,
thrift , probity , prosperity , wealth ,
comfort , ease , relaxation , self-indul
gence , luxury. Idleness , waste , de
bauchery , disease , and the wreck fol
lows. 1 The "levelers" are in the bushes
1ti
along the pathway of every successful
man and woman and they bag the ma
jority.
Only now and then can a m&n stand
out against these "levelers" and hold
his fortune , fame and health to the
end.
end.So
So the Creator has use for Whiskey ,
Tobactfb and Coffee to level down the
successful ones and those who show
signs of being successful , and keep
them back in the race , so that the
great "field" ( 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 stand upright ,
clothed in the 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 , and
the good things that come with power ,
for the half-asleep condition of the
"drugger" with the certainty of sick
ness and 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
cheap "hewer of wood or carrier of
water. "
Certain it is that while the Great
Father of us all does not seem to
"mind" If some of his children are
foolish and stupid , He seems to select
others ( perhaps those He intends for
some special work ) and allows them to
be threshed and castigated most fear
fully by these "levelers. "
If a man tries flirting with these
levelers awhile , and gets a few ships
as a hint , he had better take the hint
or a good solid blow will follow.
When a man tries to live upright ,
clean , thrifty , sober , and undrugged ,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator intends he should , happi
ness , health and peace seem to come to
him. Does it pay ?
This article was written to set peo
ple thinking , to rouse the "God within"
for every highly organized man and
woman has times when they feel a
something calling from within for them
to press to the front and "be about the
Father's business , " don't mistake it ;
the spark of the Infinite 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 the
writer to provide a practical and easy
way for people to break away from
the coffee habit and be assured of a re
turn to health and all of the good
things that brings , provided the abuse
has not gone too far , and even then the
cases where the body has been rebuilt
on a basis of strength and health run
into the thousands.
It is an easy and comfortable 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
ture are in Postum and they quickly
set about repairing the' damage. Sel
dom is at more than 2 days after the -
change is made before the old stomach
or bowel troubles or complaints of
kidneys , heart , head or nerves show
unmistakable evidence of getting bet
ter and ten days' time changes things
wonderfully.
Literally millions of brain-working
Americans today use Postum , having
found the value and common sense in
the change. C. W. POST.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : I suffered with stomach complaint for
years. I got so bad that I could not carry my children but five months ,
then would have a miscarriage. The last time I became pregnant , my
husband got me to take Iiyclia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Compound.
After taking the first bottle I was relieved of the sickness of stomach ,
and began to feel better in every way. I continued its use and was
enabled to carry my baby to maturity. I now have a nice baby girl ,
and can work better than I ever could before. I am like a new wo
man. " MRS. FRANK BEYER , 22 S. Second St. , Meriden , Conn.
