ing over his bed. Jumping up he began to

pushed him through the upper part of the
window down into the yard, two stories
below, Hughes alighted on his feet, and,
bruised and bleeding, made his way to the
Il. and p. station near by, where he was
cared for. The young man is badly
scratched, but no bones are broken. He

pants under his pillow, he supposes the
stranger woke him up by pulling them
from under him, as they were afterward
found on the floor. There ism clew to the
identify of the man.

nervous system, however, are, according to the dose, either stimulating or paralyzine. This Dr. Ellis shows, but, in our iudg- ment, stronger setting of the evil effects of alcohol upon the nerves would seem to have set the subject in clearer light. As food the only use of alcohol is to serve as fuel to the nerves. (3) We are to con- sider that the experiments which have proved these conclusions have been almost wholly upon what is known in the chemical labratory as "ethyl alcohol, which is far removed in purity from the ordinary adul- terated saloon alcohol, which was briefly but admirably defined by Mrs. Livermore in her last lecture in Stafford, as "cheap, fiery, ruinous."
 But, however much men may differ concerning the physical effects of alcohol, the moral argument is irresistible. This the doctor ably showed in the conclusion of his address. It is the moral evils of all cohol that we have to resist and attack In this sense alcohol is 8 triple murderer. It destroys the individual, the home and the state. We may not agree with the doctor as to the best method of disposing of this murderer. For ourselves, we clearly be- lieve that to license it is sin. To pro- hibit it in state and nation is the surest, swiftest and most practical method.
