BUSINESS NOTICES.

Promising the undeniable truth that
insurance is an absolute necessity for
every business man, the New England
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Bos-
ton, Mass, asks your special considera-
ton of its many desirable features,
prominent among which is the fact that
its policy is plain and liberal, subject to
an annual distribution of surplus and

Uselessncss of StimuIants In Restoring
Lost Energy.
DIR. George Herschell, OF London, has
recently written a book, entitled
Health Troubles of City Life" that is
very highly praised by London critics.
In one of the chapters devoted to the
study of stimulants he says:
"Stimulants never increase the natu-
raj capacity of the brain. They can
only abstract for the purposes of work
in hand some of the energies which are
solely needed to repair and to restore
brain which has already been taxed t.
the furthest limit which is consistent
with health. To remove the sense of
fatigue caused by overwor5 by the con-
sumption of alcohol is to close ones
ears to the voice Of nature. The weari-
ness of the brain is Ii protest against
further exertion until recupera ton has
been obtained by rest; and if the weary
feeling is deadened or destroyed by adj
ventitious means nature will exact her
penalty.
"When the overworked man of bust
ness, having been on his legs all day,
and feeling fit to drop, with sensa-
ton of 'all-goneness' about the region
of the stomach, rouses himself with
whatever he is in the habit of taking,
hs it whisky, champagne, or even tea
or coffee, he does not add one atom of
force to his stock of energy, although
he fancies he does, but having put to
sleep Ills sense of WEAKNESS, simply APP
propriates some of his reserve for the
present necessity. He has accepted a
bill at short date to which a ruinOus
rate of interest is attached, and his
resources will not allow him to make
many repetitions of the experiment.
His account at the bank of life will
soon be overdrawn. Alcohol can not
add one iota to the reserve of nervous
energy but it may delude him into ex-
hausting it. The busy man should
once for all rid himself of this fancy
that he can create by artificial means
an abnormal store of brain power He
can not enlarge the limits which ma
ture has set up."-Detroit Free Press.
