MODERATE DRINKING.

It Injuries the Health, ShOrtens Life and
Transmits to Children Physical and
Moral Degradation.
The disastrous effects of habitual in
toxication on the health are univer-
sally admitted-not only the imme-
diate injury to the drunkard, but the
remoter effects on his postcrity. AL
cohol has thus been proved u river of
death, deeper, broader and more ire
sistible than flows from any other
source.
But all good men. in not very re-
mote past, and not a few in our day,
have accepted, and do accept, moder-
ate drinking as in itself safe and help
full. The argument used is that we
are born into conditions which every
where impose the necessity of modcr-
ated indulgence in all our gratifica-
tions and all our aspirations; that God
is training us to self-control rs one Of
the ends of our probational life.
But. in the first place, moderate
drinking tends so strongly and. in
most cases, so irresistibly to excess
that it never could have entered into
the providential arrangements of a
wise and benevolent being.
In the second place-and this is
what we wish mainly to insist on now
moderate drinking, in itself and wholly
apart from its dangerous tendencies,
Injuries the health, shortens life, and
transmits to children physical and
moral degeneration.
This is not mere theory. 1t is as.
serted as a fact by the highest medical
experts. Said William b. Carpenter.

London, in his celebrated prize essay:
The habitual use of smaller quanti-
ties of these liquors. is. the mod
crate use-''if sufficiently prolonged.

proportion of cases. with consequences
prejudicial to the SYSTEM" His posi-
ton was supported by over two thou.
sand of his professional brethren.
But hardly any testimony could 10
more conclusive than the facts devel-
oped by London Life Assurance
Company. This association, having
originally insured only total abstain.
ers, in 1850 accepted moderate drink
ers, who never drank to intOxication,
but kept the accounts of each class dis
tinct in separate books.
During tho period 1s66-1SS1, of ev-
cry one hundred in the section of total
abstainers, thirty survived beyond the
line of calculated expectation,
while only one survived in the other
section.
Colonel j. L. Greene, president Of
the Connecticut Mutual Life lnsur-
ance Company. whose duty it is to
make inquiry into the last illness and
death of many thousands of ali classes,
says:
''The degree to which many dis.
eases. commonly referred to as mala-
ria, overwork and other vague causes,
are actually grounded in what would
almost invariably be called temper
ate use of drink by persons of reputed
temperate habits, would be incredible
to the mass of people" The diseases
specially mentioned by him are con-
gested brains, insanity. paralysis. dis
eases of the kidneys, liver and stomach,
pneumonia and Youths

Grange Meetimg-The Road Law Discussed.
The Salem Grange held an inter
esting session on Saturday, the road
question being the subject of discuss
ion. 1t was shown that our road
laws are defective in many ways,
among which may be mentioned the
manner in which mortgages escape
their just portion of the road tax.
Polk county is moving in this mat
ter. The people there propose to
place the care ofa county road in the
hands of a commissioner who is to
have entire charge of the roads
through the county, and who is au-
thorized to appoint deputies for the
different districts, having the same
powers as the county supervisor.
The most radical change proposed
is that all road taxes are to be paid
in money, and no one be allowed to
work out his tax, as under the pres
ent law. Salem Grange has taken
hold Of this matter in a business like
manner by appointing committee
to examine into the subject, and re-
port at future meeting. This with
view to preparing a bill for the
action of the legislature, with useful
suggestions to our members in that
body.
We hope they will be successful
in procuring the needed modifica-
tions of our present road law, as it is
well known fact that it is at pres
ent very defective in many respects.

cruelty says: "John L. Boone labors
under the delusion, it is said, that

into the Webfoot's mouth:
Argus.-What is your show for
the nomination for congress in the
Fifth District?
B.-I have got a dead sure thing
on it if l want it. Yes, L do want it,
but Charley FELTON, is my friend, and
if he is anxious to go back again, l
can wait u couple of years. Yes, l
feel sorry for Solomon and Barbour.
They are nice gentlemen; but they
are only wasting their money in
working for the nomination.

Mr.. w. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake

cough and running into consump-

many so-called popular cough
remedies and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty
in breathing and was unable to
sleep. Finally tried DR.. Kings New

found immediate relief, and after
using about u half dozen bottles
found himself well and has had no
