THE FAD OF NERVOUSNESS
Soda Fountains Responsible for Much HUI

man Misery.
Nervousness is as much of fad as
anything else" said DR.. Egbert Dixon,
of Buffalo, and the modern soda wa
ter fountain has more to do with the
increase in the mania than anything
else In days of old, when soda water
was first added to the wares of the
druggist. il was devoted entirely to
satisfying the public taste for some
thing cool, sweet and refreshing. Fruit
sirups of a harmless character were
fixed up to proper degree of gaseous
bubbling, and the mission of the soda
fountain was a commendable one
Nowadays ita is devoted TO bromoS,
pervines and lots of other things that
are made from the deadliest sort OF
Drugs, while they are hung with signs
inviting people to become their own
physicians by trying some of the
countless noStrums which are al
legged to cure anything from a
headace to an improving toe
nail in an almost inconceiv-
ably small space of time. The
tired-out individual sees one of the
nervine signs and mistakes his weari-
ness for nervousness. and straightway
proceeds TO doctor himself with some
thing. he knows not what. but which
IN account of its powerful properties,
braces him up and makes him feel
bright. The natural result follows.
3e takes some more of the soda water
fountain stuff whenever he gets tired.
and IN d month or SO his system is on
the road to q general breaking up.

cHURcHGoERs TAKE NOTICE.
Hints on the Way for Yourself and Others
to Enjoy Sunday.


When your journey next leaves you
stranded in the great and delightful
city of New Chicorkadelphia on the
Sabbath day, if you should go to the
church of st. Indolence-I can recon-
mend it as having the slowest singing
and the softest pew cushions, with a
preacher to match. in this city)-you
will see the following ''suggestions to
worshipers:"
the aisle. Stay there. Do not sit erect,
but lop.
9. Do not rise during the singing of
the hymns. The fact that you played
tennis or baseball on Saturday after
noon, or walked four or five miles
around billiard table Saturday night,
entities you to little rest on Sabbath
morning.
3. Extend your legs as for under the
pew as you can without sliding off the
seat. Gracefully and politely cover
Jour mouth with your hands while
yawning during the sermon.
4. After looking at your watch, al
ways turn your head and gaze longing
ly and earnestly toward the door.
5. DO not move If a stranger. accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, at
tempts to enter your pew. Permit him
to climb over your legs, no matter how
much it may annoy you.
g. Do not annoy strangers who may
enter the church by looking at them,
or even glancingin their direction. If
they really want a seat, they will find
one without the intrusive interference
of other people.
Z. AT the close of the service remark
aloud, but to yourself, that you are
hungry as shark, and set off for
home at brisk trot.-Pacifc Church.

Men in a Western Indiana Town Who Car

John Mccarthy. of Cincinnati, one of
the best and best-known newspaper
writer's in the west, has seen some life
and death fights ''along the river

any shareholders, or gate receipts or
newspaper blow or bluff. But" he

place was closed. but an urchin told me
where the operator lived. 1t was about
mile out on the prairie, but | found
his cabin. and. with the promise Of
bonus. induced him TO come back and
open up. When we entered the station
he took of his coat. but before he sat
down to the instrument he pulled
hard. heavy ear Of corn. about sixteen
inches long. out of his pocket and laid
il gingerly on the table much as 4 man
might lay down 4 big Colts revolver
loaded.
What's that for?' | asked.
Oh. just to see that no skeeterS

picked mp piece OF board which some
carpenters had left. and with one
sturdr blow of the huge ear Of corn
split the strip from end 10 end. and
threw the pieces into the corner.

And yet, sir, you say to an intelligent
public, 1.-THE question has been settled
in favor of beer beyond a doubt" My
dear sir, if you think beer drinking a
good thing, financially, socially, NOR
ally, or any other Way, open up the
columns Of your paper to its dis
cussion, or if any one prefers, hire
the oldest lawyer the county af-
fords or procure the services of the
noblest woman to defend your cause
and meet as upon the platform and
discuss the merits, and if you prove it
to be good thing you will dig grave
for this temperance question so deep
that no grave robber will ever spend
time to dig it up, and on the other
hand if we prove it to be robber of
our wealth; destroyer of our homes,
a degrader of manhood, great source
Of pauperism andscrime, total waste
of money, enough to bread the land.
and curse to the people. Then every
man that loves his country and the
brotherhood Of man, the fatherhoud
of God better than he loves the blood
money of the traffic, will oppose its
use and manufacture in every legiti-
mate way.

tration drawn above is true one land

tratiOn drawn above is true one land
all candid men must admit that it is. J
All other occupations stood as bless
ing while the brewery a. one curses its
patrons and the producers support
paupers and criminals and all other
producers. But you may say If
men would not patronize the brewery
to excess it would not be SO bad. We
will agree with you exactly. The less
the brewery is patronized the better
off will be the individual and the COM
munity. No business that is good is
patronized to excess. Did you ever
know of a man buyiDg so many dry
goods that it made him have the head
ache and pound his wife. But in your
editorial of the 18th you say, "that it
has been established beyond a doubt
by chemical analysis by scientists
that the judicious use of beer is very
healthful." There are certain dis
eases in which strychnine and other
poisons iudiciously used may be beDe-
fetal. But the tone Of your article
does not imply that you mean any
such thing by the word iudicious: and
if you mean to be drank as a
beverage by the. masses you.
must be grossly ignorant of the utter
ances of scientists on this subject,
for surely the reverse has been es-
tablished. But your asserting one way
and another dosen't proye anything.
However, | will make you present
of fifty dollars for we'll authenticate
ed statement that any number ex-
ceeding ten, of chemists or scientists
or medical men, in their conferences
or conventions, have ever recommend
ed beer as healthful beverage, while
on the other hand can cite'you to a
great many condemning it's use. Why
sir, at that great convention held in
Holland only few weeks ago, of Gil
medical men, analysists, chemists
and pharmacists, a vote was taken
upon gthis subject, which stood 573
against and only 3S for it's use; and
this sir, if you will allow the express
sion. in the very home Of beer con-
demned by scientific Germans aud
Holanders, where it is claimed it is a
crime to sell it in any other than a
pure state.
At the last national conference OF
the medical men of the United States,
a paper was read in which beer was
set down as persistent destroyer of
the digestive organs. and often the
foundation source of many Of the
worst diseases Of the bowels, kidneys,
and liver, and its general effects much
worse than alcohol. The utterances
of the highest medical authorities Of
England, such as DR.. Richardson, and
as high authority as they have in the
United States, DR.. Davis, principal of
the medical department. Of the North
western University at Evanston, con-
demning its use, are so well under
stood by men that have given the sub
