Monkeyed with the Wrong FIued

est ease, and that was found to be the
cause of the trouble, even though the
barkeeper gave it as his opinion when
he regained consciousness that large
portion of the heavens had fallen.

Among the persons killed iR the
frightful disaster at Battle Greek, Mich,
not long ago, were Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles E. SAKE. So far as the evi-
dence showed both died instantly and
simultaneously. Nevertheless, accord
ing to the New York Herald, the ques.
ton as to whether the man or the
woman died first is one of considera-
bic importance to the heirs of both.
and an inquiry is already afoot to die
cover if possible whether there wa
any calculable difference of time be-
tween their deaths. If it could be de-
monstrated, for instance, that the man
was the first to die, his property would
pass to the heirs of his wife, whereas
If it were shown, on the other hand
that the wife died first, her estate
would fall to the heirs of her husband
Considerable property is involved in

peculiar interest. In cases involving

the law has held that the woman,
being supposedly the weaker person,
would naturally be the first to expire.

states, and the police of all civilized
countries, especially Germany and
Austria, watch with terror the influx

kinds that are vending their way west

mia. Bucharest is known today as
the greatest den of swindlers in the
world. Even the great American
crime centers cannot hold candle to
Bucharest. 1t is the exit, so to speak,
the initiative station for the crooks of
the Balkan states, from where they
travel westward to Vienna, Berlin, Paris,
London, Rome and New York. The
international criminal profession is re-
cruited through large contingent of
the unclvilized element of the Balkan
Peninsula, which is still further in

DRINKERS TURNED AWAY.

The Rock Island Railroad Company is
enforcing the anti-drink rule among its en-
ployes with great deal of rigor, and even
employs spoilers to watch and report the
men when off duty. One young engineer
who protested stoutly that he never drank
was shown a photograph which exhibited
him in the act of drinking glass OF beer,
and he instantly collapsed. OF course his
head rolled in the basket Another engineer,
who was known never to touch liquor ofany
kind. was discharged for not reporting a
fremen who did. This is serious interfer-
ence with the great principle of personal
liberty as recently expounded by Senator
Hill. but on the other hand there is no power
on earth that can compel people to patronize
railroads whose employees are known to be
addicted to intoxicants. Troy Times.

THE PRICE OF A DRINK

That that is really the price Of drink
Give cents glass, - heard you say
ssWhy, that isn't very much to pay
All, no, indeed it's very small sum
You're passing over 'twixt finger and thumb,
And if that were all that you gave away
1t wouldn't be very much to pay. I
"Five cents a glassr' How Satan laughed
As over the bar the young men quafed
The beaded liquor, for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would do.
And before morning the victim lay
With his lifeblood ebbing swiftly away
And that was the price he paid, alas
For the pleasure of taking social glass.
Five cents glass oh, if that were all,
The sacrifice would indeed be small.
But the moneys worth is the least amount
We pay, and whoever will keep account
Will learn the terrible waste and blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.

That that is really the price of drink

ORGANIC DISEASE DUE TO DRINK.

far-reachinc and significant address on
t'The Alcohol Question from Medical Point
of View" was delivered by Dr. Adolph Strum-
nell at the second general session of the re-
cent sixty-ffth convention of German Ma
luralists and PHYSICIANS at Nurnburg. We
give this extract
''I believe most physicians agree with me
in the view that Inflammation of the stomach
and bowels in adults is almost invariably due
to alcoholic poisoning
but alcohol exerts its essential and most
significant influence on the vital organs by
being taken up in the circulation and thus
brought into direct contact with their cellu-
lar tissue We have no clearer evidence ot
the direct action of poison in producing
primary cell death than is afforded by the
action of alcohol on the liver, producing
liver-cirrhose. Typical liver-cirrhose was
found in three per cent. of all the male bodies
examined at the Leipsic Pathologic Institute,
''But the organic changes which my own
experience compels me to place in the first
rank as denoting the most injurious effects
of alcoholic indulgence are the diseases ofthe
muscles ofthe heart and its nervous apparatus
and diseases ofthe arteries and ofthe kidneys,
.sBut while it has long been known that de.
irium tremens, neurosis and cirrhose liver
owe their existence to alcoholic poisoning, it
is by no means generally recognized that
chronic heart and kidney diseases are due to
the same cause And yet the practical sig
nificance Of precisely this form of alcoholic
poisoning, apart even from its frequency, is
OF the highest. from the fact that these dis
eases are induced not so much by the use OF
concentrated alcohol, but especially by heavy
beer drinking. This habit of excessive beer
drinking is very widely prevalent among the
cultivated classes, and claims its victims
among men who regard the drinking of
schnapps as an act of moral degradation. 1t
is not only that the quantity of alcohol con-
l. Tc nc1txra
but the consumption of liquid involved in the
habit is no less excessive and injnrious To
this. too must be added as hardly less preju-
dicial the consumption of an extra and un-
due amount of nutritive matter contained in
the beer.
CAN these conditions tend to that disease
which is rarely absent in steady beer drink
ers. The prime anatomical change exhibits
itself as hypertrophy of the muscles of the
heart especially of the left ventricle. This
is the result of a continuous overtaxine of
the heart powers. The prime factor here
