ALAMEDA ADVERTISEMENTS,
WHY POLICE ARE HEALTHY.
The Low Death Rate Due to Their Neces
SRrilY GOnd Hahifs.

NeCea-
sarily Good Habits.
Although the lot of policeman sis not
happy one" as the song goes, yet. consider
Zig the exposure to the weather incidental
to patrol duty, the business is not an I'M
healthy one, says the Philadelphia Record.
According to the report of the New York
Department for 1890, it appears that in
force Of 1902 Of all ranks there were but IL
deaths. The death roll includes 5 sergeants,
8 detective sergeants and So patrolmen. The
chief causes Of death were, as might be ex-
pected, pneumonia and consumption. Eleven
deaths resulted from the former and from
the latter disease. There were deaths
from heart disease, 3 from Bright's disease
and from bronchitis. Two policemen only
met violent deaths. and they were killed by
falls.
When asked to explain the low rate of
mortality in the force. one of the police
surgeons said that it was not surprising
The men, when appointed, he said, must
be in perfect health, else they could rot
pass the stringent physical examinations by
the police surgeons ana the doctors of the
Civil Service Board. They have plenty of
outdoor exercise. which tends TO keep them
in good physical condition. Their hours for
rest and meals are as regular as clock-w work
except when an emergency arises, such as
loDg-c0ntlnued strike or other event tend
ing to breed disorder or large fire, when,
for a few days, perhaps. this regularity is
broken in upon.
1.-The Sleeping-rooms of the station
houses are large aud well lighted and VEN
tilated. The policemen are required by the
rules to. be warmly clad in winter and lightly
clad in summer, and they are compelled to
supply themselves with rubber clothing to
wear In stormy weather. They must keep
themselves clean. They can have medical
attendance free when they are sick, and
every possible precaution is taken to keep
the force in healthy condition.
"a policeman gets only half pay while on
the sick-list, and consequently there is very
little malingering, If the policeman only
keeps away FROM rum which causes more
trouble in the department. than anything
else, there is 10 reason why he should not
enjoy better health than the average man.
There Is a good deal Of talk about the hard
ships which a policeman has to endure, bat
they are fully discounted by the comforts
he enjoys above those in the same social
SCALE"

QUEER MODE OF TIPPLING.
A Man Who Has Attacks of the Jim
Jams From Drinking Tea

Man Who Has Attacks of the Jim
Jams From Drinking Tea.
The tea district In Water street is haunted
by very odd sort of brok en-down old man,
says the New York Commercial-Advertiser
AT first sight he impresses you as one of
those who have joined the ranks of tho
shabby geIteel through looking upon nu-
merous liquors of various colors too fire.
Quently. But upon closer examination it is
discovered that the enSangulned optic. and
Iubicund nose of him who stroleth in alco
holic byways are missing, though upon all
other points the resemblance is perfect.
COwper once referred to tea as a beverage
that cheered without inebriating, but the
old man in question is Il striking exception

quantity of Young Hyson or green tsa.
and he will develop an attack OF
mixed feet that professional absorber
of hard liquor would have difficulty
In reproducing. He was once tea-taster,
one OF those fellows who can tell tho
growth, condition and worth of a grade of
tea by slipping spoonful OF it. They never
swallow these samples, for in the course of
a day they mount up to u quart or so of the
strongest kind OF tea, and are invariably ex-
pectorated.
The old man developed a fondness for the

liquid and took to swallowing his samples.
One day he had a fit of the nerves that
scared everybody out of the Office and lost
him his position. Since then he has been
going upon tea racketS with great regularity,
and the quantity that he can dispose OF mt u
sitting Is astounding. His nervous system
Is a complete wreck. and from present a9-
pearances it is not likely that he will live
upon the brokers' charity much longer.

Thourh.less GranRers

The grangers Of Connecticut, at the meet
ing Of their state grange feg days ago,
passed resolutions approving the Congsr
lard bill and the Paddock pure food bill
There is no fault 70 be found with them for
approving the Paddock bill 1t is an honest
measure and its purpose is good. Pure food
is what the people want, and the Paddock
bin is intended to give it to them. A
great many Of the articles Of
food that are upon the market
are so adulterated with unwholesome, and
even poisonous ingredients, that they are
dangerous 10 health. Many Of the diseases
with which men and women are afflicted
are caused. doubtless. by adulterated arti-
cles Of food. There ought to be no opposi-
tion, therefore, TO legislation which is
intended to protect the people against
very great, growing and dangerous evil.
But the Conger lard bill is not intended to
benefit the people. It's purpose is TO build
up enc industry at the expense Of another,
and if it should become law a monopoly
would be formed which would rob the peo-
pie.
TIE bill was introduced into congress at
ton, and it has the approval of other lard
manufacturers in other parts Of the coun-
try. 1t is hoped by those who are behind
it that by means of it the use of cotton seed
oil in the manufacture Of compound lard
will be prevented.
There is 10 more healthful article of food
than cotton seed OIL and, with lard, it makes
acompound that is not only a very cheap arti-
Gle Of food. but very wholesome one. Com
pound lard lessons the demand for pure
lard, and keeps the price of it down. Why,
then, should congress place burden on
cotton seed oill II the Conger bill should
become law, it would about ruin the cot
ton seed oil industry. which is as valuable
as the pure lard industry.
The Connecticut grangers could not have
given this matter the attention which it
deserves or they would not have given their
approval to the Conger bill. They have
been told, doubtless, that il the bill should
pass they would get better prices for their
hogs. 1t is very doubtful if they would.
Whatever additional profit there might be
would go into the pockets of the lard manu-
facturers.
But it certainly is not wise for congress to
legislate to build up one industry at the
expense of another. That sort of legisla-
ton would eventually be productive of very
disastrous results
