1T RUINS DIGESTION.
The Eject of Alcohol on the stomachs OF
Healthy Persons.

The Eject of Alcohol on the stomachs of
Healthy Persons
A student of Prof Kocnlakotf, of st.
Petersburg. has been studying the eff
feet of alcohol upon healthy persons.
Five persons, aged between twenty
two and twenty-four years, were Sc
lected for the experiment. From ten
10 twenty minutes before meals, they
were each given three ounces of an
alcoholic liquor varying in strength
from strong wine to brandy. The fol-
lowing were the results observed in
each, the facts being ascertained by re-
moving portions of food from the
stomach with a stomach tube at stated
intervals;
/. The acidity and the digestive pow
err of the gastric juice were diminished.
.. This enfeeblement of digestion
was especially noticeable in persons
who were not accustomed to the use OF
alcohol.
8. The larger the percentage of alco-
hol in the beverage employed, the
greater It's influence in interfering with
digestion.
4. The movements of the stomach
were diminished as much as the activi-
ty of the gastric juice, and in proper
ton TO the concentration of the alcohol.
5. The food was retained in the
stomach longer than usual. and az the
last end of digestion the acidity of the
gastric juice, and the quantity of by
droehlorie acid were double tina. ordi-
narily found at this period of digestion
This last fact probably accounts for
the frequent occurrence of gastric ulcer
in persons addicted TO intemperance.-

alcoholic and all kinds of stimulating
drinks:
The idea that one gains by stimu-

simple and obvious that one can get
nothing in this life without paying for
it in one way or another, and that arti-

the directly injurious effect which they
undoubtedly have. can produce nothing
but temporary excitement, followed
by corresponding reaction
Stimulants of this kind. with the ex-
ception of chocolate, which is mild in
its effect and at the same time nourish-

SHORT SPECIALS.

SAN FRANCISCO has $500 saloons or
places where liquor is sold at retail.
If the population Of the city is $4,000.
there is one saloon to every 70 persons.
II the voting population is $1,000. there
is a saloon for every 1871 votes
A BARREL of whisky contains head

pains. blasted hopes, falsehoods, agony,

groans, orphans means, and serpents.
SO an old song says, and there is a
barrel OF truth in the song. Rams
Horn.
ONE young man who has had consid-
cradle trouble on account Of his ac-
tions while drunk, got off a good one
election day He was told that if the
saloons were shut up we would have
no sidewalks. ''Well, said he. IF the
saloons are open will have no shoes
II prefer shoes to sidewalks.
THE wage earners of America an
nually pay six hundred million dollars
for liquors Yet no labor agitator has
made mucn noise about il, and no la
Dor organization denounces il. If
whisky is a necessary of life it is cost
ing too much. II could be made for
twenty cents per gallon. If il is a
necessity. its manufacture ought not
to be in the hands of a trust as it is.
If it is not a necessity to those who use
it. its sale ought to be suppressed.
The circulation is through two sets
of blood vessels-arteries and veins
both obtaining their motive power
from the heart acting as a force pump.
Alcohol increases the pulsations, and,
as the blood is sent from the heart to
the extremities faster than the veins
can take it up again to return it. con-
gestion results, and the nose, being a
remote portion of the circulation, red
dens and finally becomes diseased.
This. however, is not different from
other organs of the body; all are con-
gested and similarly diseased by the
use Of alcohol.-St Louis Republic
ACCORDING to official statistics just
published. the saloons of Chicago num-
Der $3.50. furnishing occupation to
1850 men and $500 women. For the
most part we are told. the saloons of
Chicago in which women are employed
are combination of clearinghouse
and saloon, the fam " living over the
saloon. and the man of the house en-
ployed elsewhere during the day. The
English bar maid is unknown in that
city. these family saloons being nearly
all of them modelled after a pattern
common to continental Europe, and
very rarely the scene of any inebriety.
You've men are learning the every
day commercial value of temperance.
The "good-fellow" man is he who
stays at the ladders foot. and his COM
rades profit by that object lesson. In
no walk of life are the higher paths
open as they were. not so very long
ago, to the man who drinks. Business
men. professional men. look upon an
employees convivial habits as a menace
to themselves, What once found ready
excuse now suffers not even liberation
That is the plain lesson of the times.
And that is the reason common sense
is every day forwarding the cause of
practical temperance City
