habit of fermentation grows till each supply
of food sets a new ferments as the cook sets
her yeast. Farinaceous food of all kinds
ferments soonest, causing gaseous disten-
sion and distress, and this is why madam s
dyspeptic husband rebels against the wheat
and oatmeal, rice and hominy, with which
she mistakenly feeds him.
SOURCES OF NERVE FOOD.
What he wants is nerve food, in meat,
Jelly or gravy, free from fat, but fresh with
the fragrant osmazone, which three hours
cooling will evaporate, brown and thick
with concentration. To this add little
bread or prepared grains in shape least
likely to ferment-parching the cereals or
toasting the bread brown. Baking heat
kills the fermenting principle and changes
the sugar of the grain into caramel, which
does not produce the troubles of liver and
kidneys sugar is apt to do.
To this you should add vegetable nourish-
ment and fruits which purge the blood Of
its humors and are antiseptic to the entire
body. In this way you get the principles of
sulphur, phosphorus, arsenic, calomel and
other drugs without their hurtful effects.
All this is philosophizing, and people
desire practical details which cannot be
brought down too finely. Madam and all
dyspeptics able to work must get rid Of the
idea that tasteless food is best for weak
digestions. On the contrary, 1t should be
most inviting in favor, for the hypersensi-
tive nerves get no inconsiderable nutrition
from the volatile parts of food.

DID NOT THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY
WA ANmpn mupOulu TUPTR VOTEqY

WANTED THROUGH THEIR NOTES9
The Lawrence Journal condescends
to tell it's readers that the people Of
the United States defeated Cleveland
because OF his tariff views, that the
republican Congress did what the
people said by their votes what they
wanted done, and the first whack
those people got at that Congress
they didn't leave but about half
enough for a quorum Of It. That this
does not mean that the people have
changed their minds, but that they
do not know exactly what they do
want.
Had the Journal but said that the
"iat was so intensively fried out Of
the manufacturers" and that voters
in "blocks Of fve' were 30 well man
aged that Harrison and Morton were
squeezed through the poolsi that the
people had neither asked for nor ex-
pected to obtain the Mckinley tariff
act, it need not have been 80 stupid as
TO insult the people by declaring "that
they do not know exactly what they
do want" They certainly deserve to
rebuke the plutocrats and their stupid
ionrnals.

ciples TO the question under consid-
GRAFTON. That the purpose Of pro-
hibitory Legislation is to eventually
suppress the use OF intoxicants as a
beverage we shall not attempt TO de-
ny. That such is the purpose we
emphatically affirm. That this is an
uniustifRble invasion Of individual
liberty we deny with equal emphasis,
and this is the proposition which it is
the purpose Of this article to demon
strate. We invite a candid examina-
tion Of the propositions that follow:
First The inhibition OF the use OF
into1icants deprives no man or wom-
an OF anything essential TO health,
comfort or happiness. It has been
most thoroughly demonstrated by
the highest scientific authority that
no one Of the entire list possesses
a single element of nutrition or
a single element that can be OF the
least possible benefit to mankind in
a state Of health. No good was ever
known to result to a healthy human
being from It's use No evil was ever
known to result to a healthy human
being through abstinance from It's
use. II is nowhere claimed to be es-
sentiSl to health, intellectual vigor,
or TO moral progress. It's prohibition
can therefore work no hardship, and
result in no injury to mankind.
Second-Without at this time un-
dertaking to present the details Of
physiological observation and expert
ment, we shall state as demonstrated
fact which cannot be controverted,
that the use of any intoxicant, habit
ually, as a beverage, in any quantity, is
lnimical TO health and entails lasting
injury to posterity. Should this pro-
position be called in question by any
scientific or competent author
ity we will undertake to dem
onstrate it's correctness upon
physiological and scientific grounds.
Until this is done we shall deem the
simple statement of the incontroverti-
BILE fact as sufficient. There is a PEI
culisr class OF diseases which are de-
veloped as a direct and never failing
result OF intemperance, and even Of a
moderate use Of alcoholic beverages.
These are not always directly fatal,
and death may result from other
causes without the prominent mani
iestation of Che disease attributable
directly to the use of alcoholic drink;
but undertake to say that no person
can make habitual use of any one of
these beverages for any length Of
time without the development Of some
Of those diseases as an inevitable con-
sequence; and though there may be
no individual consciousness Of their
insidious development they neverthe-
less ezistin greater or less danger,
contribute more or less to the dis
comfort Of the subject, and impair the
chances Of recovery when attacked by
acute disease. The heart and the en-

A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTION or
PROHIBITION.

purpose TO treat the personal liberty
phase OF this question the following
week. Our attendance at the Su-
preme Council OF the National ALI
ance prevented the ful6llment Of that
purpose at an earlier date
The assumption that prohibition Of
the liquor traffic is an unWarrantable
invasion Of individual rights is re-
garded by many as the strongest ar
gument against IT, II will not be at
tempted at this time TO give an OK
haustive treatise Of this subject We
shall not attempt to even indicate the
statutory inhibitions that might be
cited as furnishing precedents for
such Legislation, though several Of
this character exist that might with
equal consistency be urged as inva-
sions Of personal liberty. We pro-
pose rather to take a plain, common
sense view Of the subject upon it's
own merits without regard TO its re-
lation to any other question or any
other inhibition.
We shall base our argument upon
what seems TO us 70 be a self-evident
proposition, viz: II is the duty OF a
benifcent government to provide, by
proper and efficient legislation, for
tho protection Of the health and the
morals OF the people. We regard
this proposition as inControvertible
1t is essential to the advancement Of
civilization and the progress Of our
race. Were all mankind alike richly
endowed with intellectual and moral
gifts Of the highest order, such legis-
lation, and in fact all Legislation,
would be unnecessary. Under such
conditions right and justice would
prevail, and the highest interests of
che individual, Of the community and
of posterity would be sought as a
normal expression OF the popular
will, Such, however, is not the case.
The fact that the conditions of life
are not Of the most favorable charsc-
ter, that all are to a greater or less
extent actuated by selfish motives
and more or less influenced by appe-
tites aud passions, renders legal re-
straints a necessity. This is true
even in ordinary society, IL is not
necessary to refer to the lower strata
Of human life for q demonstration OF
this fact, though such reference must
afford the most positive confirmation
Of it. There can be but one legiti-
mate object Of such Legislation, and
that is the greatest good 10 mankind.
Such is in reality the ostensible pur-
pose of all legislation. That it is not
all OF this character does not affect
the validity of our proposition. The
fact chat it is not demonstrates the
necessity OF judging each act upon
it's merits. In the exercise Of this
Judgment but one rule should apply.
Every Legislative act whose purpose
and effect is the advancement Of civ
ilization, the elevation Of character
and the DEVELOPMENT OF a higher

the innocent yet unborn from the per-
nicuous consequences Of this vicious
habit. The guilt Of neglect to do this
is criminal in the highest degree We
deem the protection Of the living
from physical assault or injury as
among the most sacred duties OF the
government. How much more sacred
is the duty to protect the innocent
and the helpless yet unborn from the
most seriou0, physical, mental and
moral consequences Of a worse than
useless habit. Will any one raise
the question OF the right Of govern
ment interference in the interest Of
the health and happiness OF the living
and their posterityH
II Legislation in the interest OF
health is not Legitimate, pray tell us
upon what subject we may legitimate
ly legislatei
But we may base our arguments
upon still higher grounds than this.
Sacred as may be the physical health
Of our people, other things are still
more sacred. The intellectual vigor
and moral purity Of the race are Of
the most mom6ntous consequence,
and the manner in which these
suffer as q result Of the evil
under consideration is alone
sufficient justification for any degree
OF interference with the sO.called per-
sonal liberty Of the individual. The
government is not only justified in
legislating for the protection of the
physical health Of the people, but it
is criminally negligent il 1t fails to
legislate for protection from the
causes of intellectual blight and
moral deprsvity. No man lives in
this world for himself alone. No in
dividual life can be regarded as an
isolated existence, seperate and apart
from it's associations; and by a strict
construction Of the law Of equity, no
individual has the right to impair his
own health or degrade his own ma
ture. by 80 doing he inAicts a
wrong upon society and society has
the inherent right to protect itself
against that wrong. There is no
such thing as an individual right to
do wrong, even to ones self. Such an
exercise Of individual vOlition is
legitimate subject of public control,
and is so regarded in the laws of all
civilized nations. Assuming as a
fact, then, that the use Of alcoholic
drinks impairs the constitution, de-
velops disease, the consequence OF
which are inflicted upon posterity,
and that the effect upon the intellec-
tual and moral nature is likewise evil
and evil continually, the argument in
behalf Of personal liberty is entirely
baseless and untenable. The subject
might be pursued and other objeC-
tions to this argument introduced,
but we prefer to rest the case for the
present upon the propositions here
laid down. We believe them TO be

q MUSICAL PRODIGY,
A year-OId Girl Who Plays the
Organ Correctly.

Organ Correctly.
This quiet town has been suddenly
startled by the development Of baby
musician named Lydia Welch, a child
OF only four years, writes Milton Dell
correspondent. Her father is John Il.
WEIGH. the leading druggist of the town
and superintendent of the Methodist
Sunday-school and leader of the choir In
the same church. Somc few months ago
this child showed 4 wonderful talent for
singing. People passing the house
humning popular airs were observed by
her, and the next day the people were
in an infantile voice. The child had
but TO hear a, tune once before she
could reproduce il without a single false
note.
Only short tiue ago she had a severe
attack of diphtheria, and, to the great
regret of parents and friends. she lost
all her former inclinations to sing. But
what was the surprise of her friends
when they discovered that all her vocal
powers had suddeslY been directed into
another channel. and from that time IN
strumental music began tol interest her
in wonderful degree.
The only musical instrument that Mr..
WEIGH bad about the house was an or
gan, and upon this ono day did the little
ono begin TO play sone tune she had
heard her father sing. Soon the people
learned Of tho child's wonderful power.
and every evening a crowd assembled
upon the sidewalks adjoining the house
