ALCOHOL AND DIGESTION me
it is marvel OF marvels that a
thoughtful man, one of intelligence,
knowing the nature of alcohol and it's
effects on the stomach and its func-
lions, should ever recommend the use
of any of the intoxicants for weak
digestion. While it is fact that al
cohol coagulates animal albumen,
precipitating it in worthless flakes,
and that it renders the pepsin in the
gastric juice inert, of necessity i'm
pairing this juice, one of the most
active components of which is this
pepSin, its effect on digestion must be
manifest. Now, since so much of
our food is particularly
that given to the sick-it is downright
cruelty to order these stimulants to
the sick; the we'll may bear this treat
ment for a time, but the sick should
be spared. The egg, 80 useful to the
subsequently, when simply "beaten
up with milk-is worthless when
coagulated by alcohol; bad enough
when this is done by heat. The same
remark applies, also, to our meats,
rich in albumen, with still other sub
stances, though the vegetable albu-
men is not affected so much by the
heat. Common sense, science and
facts are opposed to the use of intoxi-
cants, in sickness and health alike.
The world would be helped beyond
our powers of comprehension by the
utter Punishment of all intoxicants.-
DR.. Hdnndford.

THE WARNER BOOM.

The boom for II. B. Warner for
governor is constantly increasing.
The Polk County Press, in referring
to this question, says: "There is an
extensive sentiment prevailing IN the
State favorable to- our popular and
efficient Secretary of State, Hon. Hans
B. Warner, for governor. Mr.. War
ner would ably fill the position, and
should the candidate be taken from
the seventh congressional district, his
chances seem to be good
The Mineral Point Iowa county,
Tribune, in commenting upon the
favorable chances for Mr.. Warner
nomination, makes the following OBJ
servations: Hans B. Warner, pres
ent Secretary of State, appears most
prominently, up to date, for governor.
A variety of interests unite TO give
him strength, and without effort on
his part, may make him our standard.
bearer. All American and German
candidates for Secretary of State are
interested in providing for the Nor
wegian element somewhere outside of
the secretary's office. To make any
one but German treasurer, that
nationality must be provided for some.
where else-therefore American can
didates for treasurer must unite with
candidates for secretary in dispOsing
of the Norwegian question so as to
help their case, indirectly. And the
same in some degree is the feeling of
aspirants for other places, so that Mr..
Warner has good show of being
nominated by sheer force of circum-
stances. Should such be the result,
the State Will be assured an honest,
faithful and efficient administration
of her affairs
In view of what we feel assured is a
widespread popular sentiment
throughout the State in favor of Mr.
Warmers nomination for governor
and other circumstances which seem

''1'll be Hanged for This"

These words were uttered by Robert
Martin, a machinist, residing at New
ark, n. j., to his son Edward, after
fatally shooting his wife and little
child while in state of intoxicatien
bordering on delirium tremens. This
terrible crime was brought about be-
cause Martin loved liquor, and also
because on every block in the neigh
borhood in which he lived, invitations
are posted up for the passer-by to
step in and Indulge" in what is the
cause of nearly all the crime commit
ted. Perhaps Martin should have in
dulged "only moderately" but he
didn't. lie knew when to begin, but
not when to stop. We hope Chancel-
lor Crosby will be invited to preach
the funeral sermon over the remains
of the mother and child. The follow
ing will do for the text:
"But if the watchman see the sword come,
and blow not the trumpet, and the people be
not warned; II The sword come and take any
person from among them, he is taken away
In his iniquity; but his blood will require
at the watchman's hand.-Ezekiel xxxiii g.
There are other doctors of divinity
besides Chancellor Crosby who preach
smooth things about Intoxicating
drinks. Sad, indeed, is the lot of the
congregations which choose teachers
who, however sound and excellent IN
other respects. encourage their hear
ers to use intoxicating liquors either
at meals or in social life.
How many youths in our churches
are to be led to a somewhat similar
fate by the teachings of Drs. Crosby
and Newman and few Others in
favor of the use, lin moderation" of
intoxicating drinks. is only known to
0mniSeience; but the history of the
past leads to the belief that the num-
Der viii be great, as young men dearly
love license, and are as manly" as
Chancellor Crosby could wish in be.
lieying that they can resist the very
temptations which they voluntarily
seek. This, however, is not Christ s
way, as He directs US to pray not to
be led into temptation at all.

In an article which recently appear
ed in the Milwaukee Republican upon
Conkling, the editor of that paper
says: "This amending demand on the
Republican party to pacify Mr.. Conk-
ling, in answer to which Arthur was
nominated at Chicago, and the last
session of the senate was prolonged,
is found to have no principle back of
it, but only the personality of Mr.,
Conkling. If he was greater man
than Daniel Webster, Thomas Jeffer-
son and Henry Clay rolled into one,
the Republican party could not afford
to keep up the policy of pacifying
him. The sooner it is brought to an
end and the truth affirmed that no
man is greater than the Republican
party, the better" That is Just about
the way we look at it.

A SUBSCRIBER.
The Revised Statutes of Wisconsin

like time and manner, destroy all such
weeds that may grow, either on the
highway of his road district or on any
unoccupied lands therein, or on any
occupied lands therein which the &C.
cupant thereof shall neglect to 80

as so required, such occupant shall
forfeit not less than five nor more
than fifty dollars. The chairman and
each supervisor of every town shall
prosecute promptly for every such
forfeiture which he shall have reason
to believe to have been incurred.

Answers.

CoRREcTIoN.--In the issue of July
7th, the latter part of the answer to
''query No. 49," by 80. E. R." as it
appeared, did not mean anything, so
we hasten to correct 1T. 1t should be
as follows:
'.Hence, l divided by Q.0D5. l di-
vided by 1.07l4, l divided by Q.00s' l

payment. -

will quote from the election and reg
istry laws of Wisconsin.
