MRS. LEVI CARSE
A WelI.Known Resident Of Artesia, CAL,
Says Few Things of Interest to
Women

Women
"I have ben a sick woman for years
from kidney and nervous troubles. My
suffering at times has been so great
that it seemed as though could not live.
At night 1 could not sleep, and the Itch
ing and burning sensations that crept
up and down my body almost crazed me.
At last my kidneys became affected and
made my condition almost unbearable.
II was under treatment with all the
best physicians in Los Angeles, but
never received any benefit from them
Three months ago ! consulted the Eng
lish and German Specialists, and after
two months treatment 1 found myself
entirely cured. I have had no return
of my troubles since, and am feeling
as well and strong as I ever was. After
what I have suffered, and the time and
money wasted on doctors, I feel that it
is my duty to every afflicted woman to
tell the story of my wonderful recovery.
Gratefully,
MRS. LEVI CARSE,

CERTAIN INVESTIGATIONS.
Scientific Teaching as to Alcohol.

scte1'ttfc American.
Evidence az TO the action Of alcohol
upon the human body has been collect
ed, not BY hysterical prohibitionists,
but gathered from the laboratory, the
autopsy room and the bedside. One
series Of facts opening q decidedly new
field has been obtained through the
works Of the experimental psycholo-
gists. Through the efforts Of some Of
these northumberland We may men
ton particularly work done at the
Heidelberg Unlversity-it seems to be
established that alcohol has an effect in
dulling simple mental processes, such,
for example, as learning by rOte, sim
pie arithmetical calculations, and the
simpler association Of ideas Another
series Of facts which tend to show the
evident effects Of alcohol is that which
have been collected by students OF he
redity, particularly the relation Of he
redity to degeneration in families. The
French alienists, in particular, have
hown that one OF the most prominent
Of the factors in leading to the develop
ment OF mental and physical degenora-
ton is the use Of alcohol, and 1t is fur
Their urged by these Investigations that
alcohol has more than an individual or
family effect, that it produces serious
deterioration OF the human race.
OF course, the effects thus claimed
are all due to the abuse and excess Of
alcohol. Whether further and more
careful investigation would show that
moderate use Of alcohol leads, event
ually, to somewhat similar results, we
cannot say.
As regards the evidence against alco-
hol furnished by clnicians and pathol-
ogists, there has really been nothing
particularly new added in late years.
But if one takes an unbiased survey of
the position of medical knowledge and
of medical men toward alcohol, and
compare 1t with that held by them fiji
teen years ago we feel sure that he will
see that.the feeling against the use Of
It is much stronger. This is because
there has been gradual accumulation
Of facts carefully ascertained and thor
oughly proved, demonstrating the ii
effects OF the drug. II is for the reason
that the position Of medical men re-
garding the use Of alcohol has been al
ways conservative and never fanatical
that the present slight shifting Of the
front deserves the attention Of our law
makers and OF all Of those citizens who
are interested in good government and
in the social problems OF the day

IS THIS TRUE?
SWAN QUARTERS CHURCH.
4 Goddess Man Refused L a Site, But
Tide That Beat the Record
Settled It.
". Y. Sun.

eff YOU should ever go down into
HYDE county, \. c. said member OF
the Pamlico Sound Sportsmans Club,
"and should stop at Swan Quarter, the
quaint county seat, YOU would see
church perched on top Of what they
call hill. There is a curious story
connected with that church.
Hyde county has two coasts-the
Pamlico Sound coast and the Atlantic
ocean coast Half Of the county lies
under water from 100 to 200 feet deep.
That water Is Pamico Sound. The
county also includes in its area that
narrow strip Of shifting sand dunes and
scrub grass extending from Chicomack
Banks, southeast to Cape Hateras, and
from Cape Hatteras, southwest to OcTa-
coke Inlet, strip apparently unstable,
and in some places barely stones
throw across, but yet able to defy the
Atlantic's assaults. That is how Hyde
county came to have two coasts. Dur
ing the fierce northeast storms that are
frequent there the sound tide rises
sometimes as high as six feet.
"Swan Quarter is in the southeast
corner Of the mainland On the sound
Several years ago some OF the Swan
Quarter citizens resolved to build a
church. There was only one site in the
town that offered site entirely safe
from the tide in time of storm. This
was what is known as a hill down there
"a hummock of sand rising few feet
above its surroundings. This hill be-
longed to man who didn't take much
stock in churches and didn't want any
such thing as church, and who re-
fused to sell it at any price. The church
people then did the next best thing and
built their church On ground which,
while not being entirely beyond reach
of the tide, was not in any particular
danger, and, to make it absolutely safe,
thew set it on piles that raised 1t above
the highest high-water mark on record
on that coast.
1.-THE church was completed and
ready for occupation. Two nights be-
fore the day the dedication exercises
were to be held in it there came a terri
Bile storm. Next morning, when the
citizens of Swan Quarter went forth
thew we're amazed Such tide as had
never been before must have arisen
during the night, for the church was
gone from its high place on the piles
But, more amazing still, the tide bad
risen still higher than that, 50 hi gh that
it had carried the church to the sum-
nit Of the hill and then recedei, leay-
ing the church standing squareiy on
the hummock, unin]ured IN any way.
OF course, every one saw III this the
unmistahable hand OF Providence. 1t
alarmed the goddess owner OF the hill,
who had refused to sell it at any price
for the sacred ediice and he not only
gave the land to the congregation with |
out money and without price, but also
became deyout member Of it himself |
and remained one to his dying day. T
The church stands to-day just where 1t
was carried and left those many years
ago. and never since has the fercest |
storm that has beaten upon that coast !
driven before It tide half so great as
was that memorable and proyldential
one"

The First Teetotaler.

Selected.
The death is announced of the man
who invented the word "teetotaler"
! His name was Rev. Joel Jewell. He was
born IN Durham, Greene County, New
! York, February IL, 1903. At al early
age he took place among The pioneers
Of Sunday school temperance work
| He was an active reyivalist, and in or
| der better to prosecute bis religious la
| bors removed in 1897 from his home
in New York to Tioga county, Pennsyl-
vania. In 1913 he entered the minis
try as an ordained preacher, and for
five years supplied the Presbyterian
churches in the neighborhood Of his
Tloga county home He has had va
rious charges in the course Of his long
life. Through Mr.. jewell originated
the word Steetotal." At public tenn
perance meeting in Hector. \. Y, in
1928, he introduced into the pledge the
letters 80. p for Sold pledge" which
pledged against only distilled liquors,
and ct" for "total" including both
distilled and fermented liquors When
names were being taken, young man
il the gallery said, add my name and
7, for am a T-to-taler" 1t is SAID,
therefore, that the name teetOtaler or
iglnated here more than four years be-
fore Dick Turner, an Englshn1an,
claimed to have coined it. Three wears
ago sharp discussion arose between
Mr. JEWELS friends and some trends
Of the EnglIshman as to who really had
made first Use Of the word
1t appears that Mr.. jewell adopted it
after it had been used by this Young
man in the gallery at his Temperance
meetings, and that he had employed
it frequently in his speeches and writ
ings long before it was applied in
England.

The terrible accident at Moscow cast
a blight upon the Russian coronation
festivities. 1t is stated that the Gar
wept at the news of the disaster. The
world will hope that this is true. Hard
indeed would be the heart of ruler
which would not melt in the presence
Of this shocking catastrophe to his sub
tects. The dance at the French EN-:
bassy, however, was in nowise dis
turbed by the fearful loss of life. One
lesson of the event is the lesson of the
superiority of civilization over barbar-
ism. The Russian peasant is perhaps
the most degraded in Europe. His hol-
iday means mad carousal of vodki
Without doubt theHodynsky plain was
crowded with people temporarily bru-

600 human beings were massed togeth-

went, stayed and came away without
the loss of a life from mob-panic. Thou

rible death at Moscow. BY just so much
is American civilization in advance of

social development with races, as with
individuals, is the perfection of the

redemption division does get cheated

redemption division does get cheated
now and then, undoubtedly.
Late in the year 1892 it was discover
ed in the redemption division that the
full number of $500 notes of the series
of 1874 had been redeemed. Neverthe-
less, notes of this series were still COM
ing in for redemption. At first it was
thought that there had been an over
issue by some strange mistake. Ac-
cordingly all of these notes from that
time on were withheld from the Gus
tomary destruction, and their numbers
were registered for the purpose Of
seeing if duplicates would appear. But
no duplicates did appear and it is now
believed that the trouble arose from an
error on the part of the officials ap-
pointed to act as a destruction commit
tee. They must have made a mistake
in their record of notes destroyed, put
ting down the figures 1874 instead Of
some other year.-Philadelphi Times.
