AHTNT TO DRINKERS.


Some one asks how the bar rooms can
be closed Bar rooms are not kept for
amusement. There Is not man in the
state who would keep bar II there was no
hone for a profit. Let every man who has
brains enough to attend to his own busi-
ness determine not to drink at a bar, and
the business will soon be closed. Men who
are ashamed Of their habits OF drinking,
and who must have screen to hide them,
will not often have an opportunity to drink
elsewhere, and one great step in the tenn
perance reform will have been taken.
Bar keepers in the city pay on an aver
age, two dollars gallon for whisky. One
gallon contains an average Of sixty five
drinks, and at ten cents a drink, the poor
man pays $3.50 per gallon for his whisky
In other words, he pays 50 for the whisky
and $3.50 to a man for handing It over
bar. While it would be best for all not TO
drink, some men will have whisky, and my
advice to them is this Make your wife
your bar keeper. Lend her 81 to buy n
gallon Of whisky TO begin with, and every
time You want drink go to her and pay
ten cents for it.. by the time you have
drank a gallon she will have $500, or
enough money TO refund the 81 borrowed
Of you, to pay for another gallon Of whls-

will be able to conduct future operations
on her own capital, and when you become
IAN inebriate, unable to support yourself,
and Stunned and despised by respectable
people, your wife will have enough money
to keep you until you get ready to fill q
drunkard's grave. But had you paid all
this money to a bar keeper, he would not
have given a cent TO bury you, or u crust
Of bread TO keep your children form star
vatiou.
Few people ever stop to calculate the
cost Of dram drinking. At ten cents per
drink, one drink per day will cost $1,000
per year; two drinks per day will cost $73,
three drinks $1O9,5O and four drinks Sl46
per year.
A man came to me the other day to pay
the interest on a note for 800, that hold
against him. Said he: ] only receive
5000 year, and with family TO support,
am not able to pay my debts. [ asked
him to take pencil TO make slight cal
culation for me, and then asked him how
often he drank at bar. His average was
three drinks per day, which by his own
calculation amounted to $100.50, or sufil.
cient to have paid both principal and in
terest of the note, and haye $l.5O left
He was astonished at this discovery, and
is now determined to never drink at II bal
again. j. c. CampbeWs Lecture.

THREE DAYS WITHOUT
FOOD.

The fnsting Of DIR. Tanner in New York
has reminded one OF the correspondents Of
the Albany Argus of the case Of Reuben
Kelsey, reported by the late DR.. james
McNaughton, OF that city, as follows: Kel-
sey, on the Cd Of July, 1929, declined to
eat anything, assigning as II reason for fast
ing that when IL was the will Of the Al
mighty that he should eat he would be
furnished with an appetite. For tho first
six weeks he went regularly TO the well in
morning and washed his head and face,
and took bowl OF water into the house.
With this he occasionally rinsed his mouth
and drank some Of IL. His parents were
OF opinion that he did not drink more than
a pint OF water in tWenty-four hours.
Compulsory means TO make him take food
were found unayaiing On one occasion
he won't three days without taking even
water, but on the fourth morning he was
observed to 20 to the well and to drink CO.
piously and greedily. On the eleventh day
Of his fast he stated TO his friends that he
had not felt so we'll and strong In two
years as ut that moment, aud consequently
denied the necessity Of taking food, For
the first six weeks Qorty-two days. he
walked out every day, and sometimes spent
the greater part Of the day in the woods
He walked steadily and firmly, and his
friends remarked that his step was unu-
sually elastic. lie shayed himself until
about week before his DEATH aud was
able TO situp in bed to the last day. His
mental faculties did not seem to become
impaired as his general strength declined,
but on the contrary, his mind was calm
and collected to the end. His voice toward
the last became feeble and low, but oontin-
ued distinct. Toward the close OF his life
he did not go into the fields, nor during
the last week even to the well, but still he
was able to sit up and 60 about his room.
During the first three weeks Of his absti-
nenoe no fell away very rapidly, but after
ward he did not seem TO waste so sensi-
bly. His color was blue and toward the
last blackish, His general appearance was
s . CHASTITY that children were frightened at
the sight OF him. lie died on the twenty
fourth Of August, 1920 having lived atty
three days without food. At the time OF
his death Kelsey was twenty-seyen years
| Of age. HItH1HF
This case was perfectly authenticated,
The post-mortem proved the man died Of
AVIATION, and that proved the sincerity
OF his delusion.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE PAPER
WORLD"

Paper blankets possess great advantage
over wooden and cotton bed coverings for
use in hospitals and in regions where yel-
low fever or other virulent epidemics may
be raging. Tho only way to get rid Of in
fected wooden or cotton bed clothes, which,
il not destroyed, may be the means Of
spreading certain diseases to a terrible ex-
tent, IS to burn them-neither an easy nor
an agreeable thing to do. But, in the case
OF paper blankets, it is only necessary to
dip them in water and expose them to the
flow OF hydrant for a few minutes, and
the desired disintegration is effected.
We have endeavorod in the following fig.
ures to give close analysis Of the news

listed at the close Of the year 1870. First
among our figures comes the total number
Of newspapers and periodicals published in

The adaptabillty Of paper to numerous
important and widely.varied uses is won
derful. What other substance can salts
factorily be substituted for wood, iron, and
such common materials TO the extent that
paper can be? 1t is impossible to find any
thing else, which, like paper, may be so
differently and dextrously prepared, as re-
CARDS flexibilty, thinness, strength, dura-
bility imperviousness to fire and water
etc, that It can be readily made into

II is this tendency on the part OF paper
to take the place OF everything else, to be-
come universal substitute, so to speak,
which leads to the conclusion that the fu-
ture has a grand development in store for

SENATOR HILLS LETTER.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-The Tribune to-
day contains private letter from Senator
Hill, of Georgia, to Hon. ). b. Chittenden,
OF Brooklyn, furnished by the latter for
publication, with Senator Hills consent.
The following are the most significant parts
of the letter:
Well, my friend, the most anxious event
in our history has become fact. A solid
North against solid South No language
can express to you the view 1 take of this
event for evil 1t can have no logic, if con-
tinued, but disruption in several monarch
les, or absolute consolidation of all the
States into one Empire. In either event
our constitutional system will fail.
In my opinion the time has come when
the great question for real statesmen to con-
slider is, how speedily to break up this Sec
tional solidity and organize parties altogeth-
er on other issues The Democratic party
is hated at the North and therefore ought
to be disbanded the Republican party is
hated at the South and therefore ought to
be disbanded. Whether this hatred is just
or not makes no difference.
| would be glad to see a great National
Union party organized, for l believe that
government formed by the Constitution is
a nation True, it is a limited nation, but
within the powers delegated to it by the
Constitution it is as much a nation as any
on the globe.
l really like Garfield. l sincerely hope
he will have a successful administration.
He has ability for the crisis. He must feel
keenly the fact that he is elected solely by
Northern votes But he has a great oppor-
tunity, and he can, if he will, easily and
consistently destroy all sectional luminosity
and solidities, and be chosen for a second
term by a majority of the States North
and South. This opportunity is far greater
than the Office itself, and if utilized will
give him fame which Office could not give
and which no previous President attained.
But will he do it Igreatly hope he will,
and l greatly fear he will not.
see a movement to make an issue on the
result in New York, with a view to the de-
feat of Garfield in the count by Congress
There would be great danger of this but fol
one fact, and that one fact Is that the South
will not countenance it.
The poor, divided and aroused South, i
necessary, will once more save the country
1 from revolution, and, as before, will ge
no credit for it. The Republican party
will take the Presidency peaceably, because
/ the South will sit still, and at the next cleo
ton the leaders of that party will tell tn
people, from every stump and pulpit IN tn
/ North, that the South must not be trusted
/ Nevertheless, we shall avert all revolu
ton, not to win Republican praise or t
avoid Republican abuse, for either Is lmpos
sible, but solely because it is right, and W
are determined to preserve the peace OF tn
country. How long human nature cal

Juvenile Smokers.

A British physician, observing the large
number of boys under ID years of age on the
streets with cigars and pipes in their mouths
was prompted to examine the breath of this
class of smokers, and for that purpose select
ed thirty-eight boys between the ages of 9
and 15. In twenty-five of these cases he
found various disorders of the digestion, pal
pitation of the heart and more or less mark
ed taste for strong drink. In twelve there
was frequent bleeding of the nose, and twelve
had slight liberation of the mouth caused
by tobacco. The doctor treated them for
their ailments, but with little effect until
the habit of smoking was discontinued,
when breath and strength were soon restored.
The effect of tobacco in creating taste for
strong drink is unquestionably very great
IF the testimony of some tobacco users and
medical men is of any weight, one of the
most radical methods of keeping the young
from being led to incorporate drinking il TO
deny them tobacco The Sanitarian.
