CAFKFINK IN BEVERAGES. in the your lJMMi the T'nlted States consumed sixteen million. two hundred and fort y-elght thousand two hundred and twenty one pounds, of caffeine in tlie form of coffee. tea. chocolate and cocoa. As the population of that year was estimated to i?e ninety millions and as t here ar tliree hundred and sixty live days in a year, tills drives an aver age of tliree and one-half grains of caffeine per capita per day. In Creat I'.rltian the average is a lit tle higher and in Cenuany a little low er than in the I'nited States. In view of the fact that Infants, children and many adults do not use the caffeine containing beverages it is fairly nafe to estimate that the average user con sumes seven grains of caffeine jhm* day. A glass of Coca-Cota, contains only one and twenty-two-hitridredths grains of caffeine so that you would have to. drink about six glasses of Coca-Cola per. day to get as much caffeine as the average coffee or tea ifser gets. Al though Coca-Cola contains only ahout one-half as much caffeine as a dtp of tea or coffee. It jxissesses one great ad vantage over hoth of these beverages hi that It contains none of the acrid veg etable substance known as tannin or tannic acid which makes tea and coffee disagree with some people. ? adv.

(ContlnutMl From First Paget us those who had resented the cutting remarks of Mr. L'olloek and had been inclined to disagree with Senator Smith had left when the governor was driven away at the conclusion of his speech. Those who remained were in complete sympathy with the speaker and cheered 1 1 is bitter at tacks on the governor's record. Mr. Jennings explained t lint the reason there were fewer convictions now than in previous years was that it was useless to po* the State to the expense of trial procedure, as the governor had for three and one-half years, been engaged continously in wholesale pardoning of convicts. ?"in Sumter county" he explained, "we have quit Indicting the blind tigers. All we sent up were pardoned. So we quit and' saved the cost of prose cut loll " If another Please man should be elected governor Mr. Jennings ad vised. that the court house be torn down and the brick used as flagstones to pave the streets.
