THE DIAL OF DEATH.
1t shows the Record of Fatality OF
Three Dread Diseases.
A TIMELY WARNING FoR MANY.

In an article in a September issue of the
Illustrated American, Prof. Fletcher w.
Hewes publishes dial, illustrating the ra-
ito of deaths in the United States from the
most prevalent diseases. This is a re-
production of Prof. Hewes' dial.
In his article Prof. Hewes says: This
dial should serve as a guide to emphasize
the need of specially guarding against ex-
posures to at least three classes of dis
eases. Few persons realize how very large
are the proportion of deaths from these
three classes of disorders. Figures alone
do not tell the story. The wide spaces on
the dial between the lower and upper indi-
Gators should make one realize the fatal
ity of those diseases as never before. and
be more careful"

SWEET D

Sweet cider is q much scarcer article
than it is generally supposed to be. In
fact, a very great part of that which is
called. by that name is not sweet cider
at all.
Most cider is made from apples which
have been blown upon the ground, and
have lain rotting in the October sun
several days. We all know that the
presence of rotten apples very much
hastens the process of decay among
the good ones. Now, fermentation is
decay. There is no alcohol in rotten
apples, because the liquid is not con.
fined, and some Of the materials neces.
sary to the making of alcohol escapes.
But the presence oil decayed fruit in
the cider will hasten the process Of
fermentation. Scientists tell US that
alcohol is found in cider within twenty
four hours of the time when 1t is made,
and in a less time when the cider is
made of partially decayed fruit. Thus
we see that some cider contains alco-
hol when it is first made, and that all
cider ferments so rapidly that 1t con.
tains alcohol within a few hours.
In the second place, by nearly all
pei sons, new cider is called sweet for
about three days after the fruit is
pressed, by many for a longer period.
We know that it contains considerable
quantities of alcohol within three days.
There is thus a narrow margin for the
correct application of the name, and a
very broad one, in which 1t ventures
upon the domain Of a most deceitful
and insidious poison.
Cider undergoes'a change so stealth
lily that ordinary persons do not easily
detect it. No m would venture upon
drinking a glass of milk which might
or might not contain strychnine: II
would be we'll indeed If all would avoid
as carefully a drink which may or may
not contain a more tr~eacherous enemy.
This i%ndefiniteness in the application
of the name is every year mastering to
the ranks of drinkers thousands of the
best of American manhood. Ifsweet
cider may be drunk at home why not
abroadp If there is no danger connected
with drinking it from the barrel which
stands in fathers orchard, surely there
is none connected with accepting that
which is given or sold abroad? Right
here is q special danger from the fact,
once you begin to buy cider you are
dealing with an entirely unknown
quantity.
Few persons deliberately set them.
selves to learn to love Intoxicating
drinks. The fruity taste of the cider
covers the taste Of alcohol but does not
protect from its effects. Slowly or
rapidly, but surely, the use of sweet
cider leads to the desire of strong
drinks, and thousands thus cultivate
an appetite for liquor who would never
enter a saloon; and Deacon So and so,
who keeps cider made from his own
apples, is a greater menace to temper.
ance than tipping Mike, who lies in
the ditch.
He who knows the danger OF the first
approach of the most terrible of foes,
who sees through its thousand masks,
who has seen the fall OF innocent youth
and OF strong. glorious manhood, who
knows how, little by little, the tytap,
fastens its chains and drags its victims
down-such a one will set his race
steadily against anything which will
be the beginning Of a brothers. RUM
