THE TRUTH ABOUT ALCOHOL.


The reason why so much temperance
talk falls fiat, or. worse yet, cultivates in
men already in q maudlin mood of mind
and morbid state of body the vice of self
compassion, is because so much is said
that is either illogical, exaggerated or alb
solutely untrue that the sober part of the
audience is repealed by the pious fraud
and refuses to be identified with it, and
the incorporate portion of it cry over
themselves sympathetically, instead of
feeling the switch applied sharply to the
back of the sinner who drinks to excess
rather than to the saloon where ne drinks.
The terrible realism of truth about the
consequences of intemperance told with
the conscientious grimness of Zola's
method, and the calm, judicial statement
of science concerning the ruinous effect of
intemperate indulgence in alcoholic intoxi-
cants, should take the place of sentimental,
sympathetic excavation of the sin of
drunkenness and the stock denunciation
of the saloon. The best work for temper
ance is secured by truthful, plain, earn
est, dispassOnate argument for total
abstinence as the best worldly policy and
highest spiritual duty of all men who have
learned by experience that they are open
to the charge of Incorporate drinking.
According 20 the london Hospital. a
medical journal OF high repute, not even a
healthy man may safely drink more than
very small quantity of alcohol. Two
ounces Of alcohol day. equivalent to but
thirty-two ounces OF Ciaret wine, Is the
maximum daily allowance More than
this small quantity man cannot consume
without risk of impairing his full bodily
health, even if he never became intoxi-
Gated or unfit for his public or private
duties. IL is not necessary IN get drunk
to impair the bodily health seriously with
alcohol. \ man may he always sober;
may even do enormous work and vet
seriously impair his health. as Bismarck
did before, in obedience to his doctors or
ders, he cut down his alcohol 70 the
scientific limit of Two ounces dav.
Science and experience agree that for the
great majority OF men total abstinence is
the best II Of life. not because the great
majority are in danger of becoming
drunken, but becluS, the daily use of
alcohol, save in the smallest quantities, is
inconsistent with the highest health.
The scientific and social truth about alco-
hol thus told is more Likely to teach men ab-
stemiousness and self-restraint. if not total
abstinence, than the stock method # de-

Forest Inn has been open and crowded
with visitors and regular boarders all
winter, and letters from parties desiring
| accommodations for the summer are re-
ceived by evory mail.
The manager OF this popular and
destined to be the most extensive all
the-year- resort in America, is
Col. Eugene PeytOn, native Virginian,
| who comes from a race of celebrated
hotel managers. He is a brother of Col.
George l.. Peyton, who is SO we'll known
in connection with the Greenbrier
White, and other Virginia watering
places. and with tho exception of four
years service in the Confederate Army
during the late war, has been in the
hotel business since 1859. He was at
the Grcenbricr White twelve years, at
Rockbridge and Jordan Alum four years
as manager, at the Exchange and Bal
lard, in Richmond, many years, and
managed tho Natural Bridge during the
season of 1884, returning in 1899 to re-
! main.
| 1t was in 1854 that he conceived the
idea of making Natural Bridge the
Nashville of Virginia." but it was not
until July, 1890, that he perfected the
organization of Massachusetts and Vir-
ginia syndicate and sold the property
for Col. Ii. G. Parsons, president of the
Forest Inn Company, for $1,000 and
inaugurated the plan for the extensive
and costly improvements herein before
mentioned in detail.
Col. Peyton weighs geo pounds and is
fine looking, polished Virginia gentle
man, who has made his namo a house
hold word throughout the country. He
is born commander and manages his
large corps Of servants without Jar or
trouble of any kind and gets effective
service when others FAIL.
lie greets visitors with cordiality,
which carries with it proof of an ssold
Virginia welcome" and makes them
10th to leave. He always finds time to
entertain his guests and his fine con-
versaeional powers creates demand
for frequent "little chats" which, with
his other duties, keep him busy from
carly morn till late at night. The
Natural Bridge Park Association is to
be congratulated on securing his se-v-
ices, and, in our humble judgment,
could not find his superior anywhere.
1t does not require argument to per-
suade the readers of TIE TIMES that
Colonel Peyton's dream will be realized.
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew. of New York,
says Natural Bridge will become to the
railroad systems of the South what
Saratoga is to those of the North, and
that Virginia's great natural wonder is
greater than Saratoga or any other...Tho
members of the Park Association have
ample means, and have instructed their
manager not to leave undone anything
which will contribute to make this the
most popular all-year-round resort in the
country. JAMES A. PUGu.

How to Get Pneumonia to AYoid 1t.
Pneumonia, says the Baltimore Sun,
is a prevalent and dangerous ailment
in many parts of the country just at
this time There is no better way to get
agood, able-bodied cold than to ignore
provision for sudden changes Of temp
erature, such as that at the beginning
Of this week. One way to catch pneu-
monia is to run out Of a warm room
into the cold, outside air, without
proper protection for the throat and
chest. The lungs are particularly
sensitive to cold" said DR.. j. ID. Nor
ris, in speaking Of the subject, land ne
glect to protect them with clothing OF
sufficient warmth and subjecting ones
self to sudden changes Of temperatures
without properly adjusting the weight
of flannel undertaking, invites pneu-
monia. The disease usually makes
its presence felt by chill, accolnpa-
MED by tightness of the chest, diff
ficully in breathing and quickened
pulse. Its effect upon the lungs is to
congest and inflame them, preventing
the parts affected from doing their
natural work. The tubes which sup
ply the lungs with air become com
pressed, making breathing difficult,
and the blood which the heart ordi-
narily pumps to all part, Of the body
is thrown back from the lungs upon
the heart. compelling that organ to
send it elsewhere. 1t is best to keep
in motion when exposed to the wealth

tunity to remove wet clothing

THE SOMA, In the Aryan religion
PLANT. ! the chief offering to the
gods was the fomented juice Of the
Soma or Moon plant, which, being a
strong drink, gave new excitement to
those who partook Of it, and vas be-
lieve to impart power to the gods.
1t was believe, moreover, that 1t
wrought miracles, and for this reason,
perhaps, it afterwards became the
chief god Of the Hindus. In a vedic
hymn the worshiper says:
We've qraffed the Soma bright,
And are immortal grown;
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm.
Or foeman veX us more?
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God! we soar
No such power as this is attributed
to any plant at the present time, and
yet many of the cures performed by
s. S. s., a purely vegetable remedy,
seem almost to border on the miracu-
lous. In contagious blood poison,
scrofula. skin diseases, some forms Of
cancer, etc, it is the remedy par ex-
cellence.
