that you should only eat wholesome food. Water is the only natural drink and
pure water is the best fruit to take into the system. In fruits we take water in
a very pleasure way and milk is to a large extent water. From these three
sources we will obtain as much water as is needed. Tea and coffee are very
harmful, especially to children. They make people feel that they have had
something to eat; when in reality they have given nothing to nourishment of the
body. Children need nourishment food to build up new material as well as to keep
the body in repair. If they take into the body that which makes them feel as if
they have been fed, when they have not been fed, it is very harmful. I always
feel sorry when I see young people using tea and coffee.
Perhaps you remember your little cousin Willie, who at ten years of age used to
have sick headaches if he did not have his cup of strong coffee for breakfast.
His mother did not realize that it was the coffee that injured him. I am sure my
daughter will be well satisfied with water and milk, and not desire to take into
her system something, which is poisonous. If she does not begin the use of tea
or coffee when a girl, in all probability she will never take up their use later
in life, which will be greatly to her advantage. It is unwise
for us in our younger days to create false necessities. Sometimes when I have
been traveling ! have seen people, who, because they could not get a cup of tea
or coffee, were having headaches and feeling very uncomfortable, while I, who
drink neither, was perfectly satisfied with my cold lunch and cup of cold water.
I had had food and drink. While I would have enjoyed a warmer meal, it was not a
necessity either to my health or happiness. When we really think about it, it
seems very small to be a slave to such little things. Girls
have much responsibility in regard to the use of alcoholic drinks by young men.
Many young men have gone to drunkards' graves because they could not refuse the
wine glass when offered to them by some pretty, laughing girl whom they greatly
admired. Girls also are largely responsible for the use of
tobacco by young men, and, I am sorry to say, that girls themselves sometimes
smoke cigarettes, thinking it funny. If they really knew the poisonous effect of
tobacco they certainly would not use it them- selves. I would
like to have you study this question of the use of tobacco, so you will know
just exactly why to object to its use. Tobacco is very harmful to the nerves. It
destroys their power, either their power of emotion or their power of feeling.
The man who uses tobacco when under its influence does not realize that he is
tired or ill, simply because the nerves that should tell him of this fatigue or
illness have for the time being become paralyzed. Tobacco will affect his heart,
making it beat too rapidly and so weaken it and shorten his life. It sometimes
causes severe throat trouble. General Grant and Emperor Frederick both died with
throat difficulty, which physicians unite in believing, were caused by the use
of tobacco. Your own uncle died, when a young man, from a similar throat trouble
from the use of tobacco. So I feel very strongly on this point and would like to
have you have a very firmly fixed opinion and be ready to express it.
Schoolteachers tell us that boys who use tobacco do not keep up with
their classes in school as do those who do not use it. Remember what I have said
to you in regard to heredity, the transmission of the traits of parents to the
children, and you will understand that the use of tobacco by the boys of today
is a very serious matter in regard to the future of the children in years to
come.
