doffee Healthful Drink,,
Is Verdict of Scientists
Boston.—Caffein ' inv the moderate
quantities consumed by- the average
coffee drinker is declared to be- a safe
stimulant without^harmful after-effects
io a preliminary report of'a scientific
investigation conducted at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology since
Jane, 1920. The investigators, directed
b» Professor Samuel G. Prescott, head,
of-the department of biology and public
health, who makes this announcement
of. the first findings.-of their research,
ace now at work to isolate and identify'
the other constituents of the coffee
bean, especially those which determine
the flavor and aroma, preliminary to
studying the best methods of brewing
beverage coffee.
“The effect of caffein is known,”
guys the report. “Fbr the great ma

stimulant of the heart, increases power

coffee, aud for them its use is not to be
recommended. la these cases the ab
normality is in the individual rather
than in any inherent, poisonous or dele
terious property of the eaffein itself.
“Caffein can be taken by the vast(
'majority of healthful adults without
subsequent narcotic or depressent ef
fect. provided it is used in moderation
and not abused. Excessive amounts
incite temporary., disturbances in the
central nervous system, but these do
not cause anv permanent injury. It is
equally true that other normally harm
less substances, such as salt, sugar or
condiments, when used in excess may
also provoke untoward symptoms which
are often severe. . Our studies lead us
to entire agreement with Hollingworth
that when taken with-'ood in moderate
amounts caffain is not in the least dele
terious.”
.Turkish Women Dis
card the Sacred Veil
Constantinople,—The command, of
the Sheik-ul-Islam, vicar of the Sultan,
ordering Turkish women not to appear
on the stage, is bein^ ignored by them.
The German-Austrian and Allied occu
pations of the city, together with the
loss of husbandsi-fathers, brothers, and
the press of poverty, has brought a new
freedom to Turkish women. This is
daily seen by their clothing.
They wear their,veils still, instead of
a hat, but turned back and tied into a
prettv knot, after the manner of. their
Russian refugee sisters.
Because of the high prices-of cloth
Turkish women no longer wear a mul
titude of garments, designed in old
times to hide the outlines of their fig
ures. Both veils and dresses are a
deep-sea -blue, instead of the dull, con
ventional black, once the custom. Some
affect the homespun-browns dress, the
becoming garment designed by Halide
Hanum, the Nationalist woman leader.
These changes have dissipated the
mystery which, once enveloped the
Tdfrkish woman, .and. Americans here
find that she does-not differ in looks
very much from .the others. Ou the
average they are-not so good looking
as the American woman. The differ
ences may be said to lie in their timid
ity. Even this quality is dissipated
quickly when, they come in contact with.

take part in the dancing and flirta

Foreigners in Japan
Have High Expenses
Vokyo.—Justification of the daily la
ment by foreigners in Japan over the
high cost of living is found in a report
! given out by a committee of the Amer
ican Legion of Tokyo and Yokohama.
The report, founded on replies received
from members of the post, fixes the
living expenses for a single man at be
tween $275 and $291 a month, and for a
married man between $541 and $06t>
per month, and said that these salaries
permitted no saving whatsoever.
Only one man in the list who made
reports spoke of Japan as a place where
luxurious living conditions are com
mon. He writes: “It is luxurious, or
better to sav, lazy, as it seems neces
sarp to have servants,, and these are so
inefficient that it lakes two to do the
work of one.”
Salaries considered fairly good in the
United States are not "good” salaries
in the Oaient, the result of the investi
gation shows. The report says the
committee feels that no one should
come to Japan for sums less than those
mentioned above.
Of seventeen men making prophesies
as to the probable changes in costs
during, the present year, eight see little
prospect of changes, five anticpate in
i
creases of from 5 to 20 per cent,, while
four hope for decrease of from 5 to 10
per cent.
Difficulties in finding permanent
quarters are also mentioned in the list
of replies. Regarding the length of
time it has taken to sesure quarters,
the average time needed in househunt
ing was two months and ten days. One
reply safd that it took nine months to
find a house.
A FEW FACTS.
Shoes made of porpoise leather are
absolutely waterproof.
Ireland spends less per head in drink
than any other part of the United
Kingdom.
Sweden’s waterways, on the average,
are open for 210 days each year, and
frozen for 155.
More than 4,000,000 families in the
United States are the owners of the
homes occupied by them.
