ALCOHOL AND CHILDREN.

GF'rom the New York LEDGER
The idea that indulgence in alcoholic
beverages will check the growth of
children is one that has for many years
been received with favor by the unin-
formed masses of people. But recent
ly the subject has received the attention
of medical scientists, with a view to de-
termine the effects of alcoholism upon
children at various stages of their
growth. 1t is found that wine, which
is given by unwise parents in the hope
of strengthening their children, has
been the cause of many disorders and
unnatural lack of development. One
child IA years old had been given wine
from the time she was 20 months old.
When examined she was about the size
of a child of years, was afflicted with
dyspepsia, cramps, nightmare and
bloating. Her lower limbs were afro
phied and paretic. A number of other
cases are recorded, all with like causes
and effects. The conclusion is that
alcohol arrests development, causes en-
largement of the heart, liver and spleen
and so interferes with the digestion and
assimilation that normal conditions are
impossible,

A STORY ABOUT KANSAS.


II rum the chicago 16ecOTQI
Milligan had heard all about Kansas
and prohibition. He doesn't drink, but
ike every other man, he wondered if he
would be able to get drink, provided,
OF course that he wanted one-which he
didn't, as / have said. Well, he was rid
ing on the train, and they'd been in
Kansas about a half hour when the
train reached Coulter Junction.
II mad to stop there to change en-
gines, and MilIigan got out and walked
up and down the platform sizing up
the town. 1t was the first prohibition
town he'd ever seen.

No, but 1 just wondered if could

He says to Milligan:

PEOPLE WROTE DU MAu1ER.

CDu Maurier's Son in N. Y. Tribune. ]
After his books became so popular
he was quite overwhelmed with letters
from all parts of the world A good
many came from admiring women, es-
pecially American women, and some of
them were vastly amusing. l have no
doubt many of them thought he was a
young man.
WELL" refiectively, che used to let
his grand children answer most of them
and L fancy the writer's were rather
disappointed. Then there were num-
bers of letters relating to the dream
part of Peter Ibbetson.' My father did
not believe in any of that of course,
though he wrote it perhaps as if he did.
But so many people took it absolutely
seriously. 1dOn' tknOW
seriously. 1 don't know how many in
quiries he had about it. L have tried
sleeping on my back one would write
with my feet crossed as you would de-
scribe, and my hands claSped under my
head, but 1 can't succeed in dreaming
true.
Such complaints used to amuse him
very much. He seemed to consider
hypnOtism an interesting subject, al
though he never investigated it partic-
ularly nor believed much in it.
Most of the personal characteristics
of your father, were they not, Mr.. du
Maurier?'
Yes, he put himself into all his books
perhaps more directly into that than
the others. The dislike of cruelty tC
dumb animals which he mentions ir
several places was a characteristic o
| his. He never would shoot or hunt il
| any way when he was q young man. II,
| didn't mind boxing, or any sort of rea.

He Upset an Old Tradition

The millions who are detained in seeth-
ing and simmering London to carry on
the necessary work of the nation have
been of late days suffering severely
from the first real heat wave expert
enced here for long time.
The Londoner is patient animal, who
takes to snow, sleet fog or rain with an
equal mind, but he is grievous!y pun
lshed by any considerable rise in the
temperature, as nothing will dissuade
him to alter his traditional uncomforta-
BILE garments.
1t is all the more noticeable, then, that
one of the highest authorities in the land
has set a common sense example. The
lord chief justice of England actually
removed his wig and gown while try
ing a case in court. This may sound
small thing to plain men outside of this
island, but here it is looked upon as an
act of desperate courage, for convention
al form and officialism mean so much
here that the fact that Lord Russell OF
Killowen appeared in the solemn court
bareheaded has been felt as an outrage
by the crusted old Tory bar. And such
drop In outward dignity had never CO.

Lavish With Her Husbands Money

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 10.-The
deacons of the First Baptist church and
Grace Methodist church of this city were
astonished yesterday to find a roll of
greenbacks amounting to $500 in the con-
tributions of their respective churches.
The custodians of the church funds have
not been accustomed to receive such Of
ferings. In each roll of bills was a card
which read as follows: For the needs
of the church. Mrs. w. Stevens"
None of the deacons knew of any Mrs.
Stevens who could make such a gift
hey had read, however, of the wonderful
contributions of enthusiasts a Bar Har-
bor, and SO decided that one had arrived
in New Haven.
Mr.. Stevens, the husband of Mrs. Stew
ems, explained that his wife had been
suffering mentally for some time and
was not responsible for her acts. He said
that he had discovered that she had
drawn 5000 out of the savings bank on
Saturday, all the money he had on de-
posit, and had divided it on Sunday be-
tween the two churches.
Mrs. Stevens went to the First Bap-
tist church in Wooster place in the morn
ing and threw a bundle of bills on the
contribution plate. In the evening she
repeated her action at Grace Methodist
church. When she returned home she
told her husband what she had done, but
he refused to believe her until he went
to the bank in the morning and verified
the story
In view Of the facts in the case both
churches have decided to return the
money.
