Product of Rare Commercial Value.
The nipa palm of the South seas
produces a sap which has the Impor
tant distinction of being the cheapest
raw material known In the world for
making sugar and alcohol. After ex
traction from the flower stalk this
sap Is known as "tuba" and contains ;
about 15 per cent of sugar when fresh.
Investigations made by the Philippine i
Bureau of Science bear the definite I
conclusions that nlpa sugar Is equal I
to cane sugar and can be extracted
cheaper, as no crushing machinery Is
necessary; also that 2.47 acreB of nlra
will produce 22,942 pounds of excellent
sugar.

a dry advocate speaking of the it
crease of the license fee In tho state i
Now York from $1,200 to $1,500 a year,
says:
"It seems plausible to reduce the
number of drinking places and raise
their status by imposing heavy li
cense fees, but in practice it results in
turnlug over the business to a few
brewers who are able to finance the
license fees and to drive Independent
dealers out of business. In some cities
In Massachusetts brewers and whole
sale dealers control practically all the
saloons and hotels and form syndi
cates to handlo the monopoly so given
to them by the high license law. It
would bo easy to form a syndicate in
New York city that would pay $10,000
a year for each license taken out. The
revenue might bo Increased by giving
such a monopoly, but the liquor busi
ness would be run for 'all there was In
It,' and social conditions would not
be improved. Massachusetts has given
high license a fair test and the results
are not what Its original advocates
promised."
ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.
"The seeming Indifference of the
public and the authorities appears In
comprehensible when It Is considered
what havoc Is wrought by alcohol. We
Bjieuu minions oi miliars annually 10
stamp out and protect the public from
Infectious diseases, yet the harm done
by alcohol Is infinitely greater than
that caused by all the infectious dis
eases put together. In our annual ad
missions to Bellevue hospital of over
3,000 patients (In the wards for mental
diseases) more than ten per cent were
suffering from insanities due directly
to alcohol, and In more than forty per
cent alcohol had played a most impor
tant part In the causation of the in
sanity. It seems to me that It would
be tho greatest aid to humanity If
measures might be taken to reduce.,
the consumption of this poison to a
minimum, and to provide proper cura
tive Institutions for those who have
formed a habit but have not passed
the curative stage into one of com
plete mental and physical degenera
tion. Such an Institution should be
custodial as well as educational. In
such Institutions many will find re
covery, while, for those who do not,
proper restrictions will prevent their
leading a life of crime." Dr. M. S.
Gregory of Bellevue Hospital, New
York.
FIVE REASONS.
Dr. Henry Williams of New York,
an eminent specialist In nervous and
mental diseases, has summed up his
Investigation concerning alcohol la
these words:
"I am bound to believe, on the evi
dence, that If you take alcohol habit
ually In any quantity whatever, it is
to some extent a menace to you. If
you do this, I am bound to believe In
the light of what science has re
vealed: "1. That you are tangibly threaten
ing the physical structures of your
stomach, your liver and kidneys, your
heart, your blood vessels, your nerves,
and brain;
"2. That you are unequivocally de
creasing your capacity for working In
any field, be It physical, Intellectual,
or artistic.
"3. That you are in some measure
lowering the grade of your mind, dull
ing your higher esthetic sense, and
taking the finer edge off your morals.
"4. That you are distinctly lessen
ing your chances for maintaining
health and attaining long life; and,
"5. That you are entailing upon
your descendants yet unborn a bond
of Incalculable misery."
