..'Explanation.
One "of the apparent Inconsistencies
that baffles and perplexes a man Is a
woman's painfully keen perceptlqn of
his ' faults when affairs are going
smoothly with him, and her passion of
love and pity for him when be Is 111
or In trouble. Some, peoplo explain
this peculiarity of the gentler sex by
saying, and with truth, that a woman's
love Is Idealistic. When a husband Is
well and careless and a bit cross, he
falls short of her ideal, and she Is dis
appointed In him. , When, however, he
is suffering physically or mentally, or
Is In danger, she Immediately Idealizes

EFFECT8 OF ALCOHOL.
Thnre k no experiment more strik
ing than this. Take a person who Is
even a most moderate drinker of al
cohol. IM that person take bla pulse
In a standing position, and ta'to It In
a recumbent position in ordinary ev-ery-day
life, and let him do so wnen
there Is no alcohol In his body, and
when there Is a dose. He finds that
when in health, bis heart Is Automati
cally Blowed when he lies down, but
that under tho Influence of alcohol
this does not occur, or is very
much reduced In Its character, and
wholly, as we know, by the fact that
this tampering with tbe nerves has re
sulted In the heart being to a certain
degree emancipated from the healthy
and normal discipline which it should
be under, and which nature ordained
that It should be under. We have
therefore to regard alcohol as a par
alytic or narcotic agent entirely, and
If you Investigate tbe reasons why peo
ple take- It, you will find Invariably
that It Is for paralytic action rather
than for the stimulant.
Tbo feeling of fatlguo which we all
experience Is a very healthy symptom.
It Is a little mcsHago from nature
saying that we are overdoing It, and If
alcohol Is taken you cut off and stop
that nerve messago. The engineer on
board a steamer who tells you that
his boilers are magnificent boilers be
cause they never give too high or too
low a pressure, and when you look at
the pressure gauges you find they have
been tampered wlrh so that the cor
roct steam pressure Is not shown by
them, occupies the same position as
a man who explains his feelings under
alcohol.
I would like you to think of the body
when alcohol Is circulating in It as
being Interfered with to use that
French saying which Is on the penny-In-the-slot
weighing machines
"Please don't brutalize the machine."

LIQUOR TRAFFIC GOING UNDER.
The Toledo Blade calls attention to
tbe fact that every few days there Is
recorded some new step In the ulti
mate extermination of the liquor traf
fic. It says: "A brewery or dis
tillery goes out of business. A manu
facturer of bar fixtures decides to man
ufacture something elso. An Indus
trial plant announces that teetotalors
will have first choice when jobs are
distributed or promotions made. Rail
road companies tighten the applica
tion of the rule against drinking.
The revenuo from beer and whisky
falls off and the secretary of the treas
ury looks for new sources of income.
And so, week after week and month
after month, the forces against liquor
Increase In numbers, the territory
wherein liquor selling Is profitable be
comes more aud more restricted."
LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENCE.
Dr. T. Alexander MacNIchol, In one
of his addresses, says briefly: "Fifty
years ago men commonly believed
that alcohol was food, tonic, and stim
ulant; but they were excusable for Ig
norance, as little was known of the
psychology and chemistry of the blood
and tissues; the action of bacteria
upon the functions and life of tissue
cells was a Bcalcd book. The Inven
tion of instruments of precision and
the application of moro exact meth
ods of examination has revolutionized
our attitude toward alcohol. In the
light of modern science alcohol Is not
a food, a tonic, or a stimulant. In a
word, science has rated and classified
alcohol as a universal protoplasmic
poison to all forms of organic life."
PROHIBITION BOUND TO COME.
It la only a question of time when
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and the other eastern states will align
themselves on the sldo of prohibition,
as have West Virginia, Georgia and
other states. I want to say that It
will be a happy day when this has
been done. Years of the past show
that the liquor traffic has worked
against the good of the country. It is
an odd fact that no state in recent
years, after adopting prohibition, has
rescinded thnt vote. All of which
goes to prove that It is prohibition
that tbe country wants, and Is bound
to have within a short term of years.

A WARNING.
The public at large should be famil
iarized with the fact that one of the
threatening features of alcoholism Is
depopulation not only quantitatively
but qualitatively. It leads to a degen
eration of both the Individual and the
species. It produces a slow and pro
gressive individual deterioration and
an Intellectual and physical sterility
of the race. Dr. Alfred Gordon In the
Journal of the American Medical Asso
ciation. ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN.
If the results of drinking wore pure
ly personal, the complaints of the wots
that antlllquor forces are trying to in
terfere with the personal liberty of
drinkers might carry with some force,
but drink is sold on the installment
plan. The first" payment is made
when you get the drink, the others
when tie drink gets you. MaJ. Dan
Morgan Smith (Former Counsol for
the ' iquor Interests).
NATION-WIDE PROHIBITION.
Mighty Is the prohibition edict of
the czar of all the Russlas, but might
ler far will be the United States
prohibition edict This will come, not
through the proclamation of one ruler,
but through that of millions of enlight
ened American citizens, "kings over
themselvos," who at the ballot box will
choose for our beloved republic the
inestimable bleoslug of nation wide
prohibition Anna A. Gordon. j
