of Sensation.
The following convincing statements
III regard to the effects of alcohol in
maintaing the heat of the body are
from the pen of Charles II. Shepard, NJ.
D., prominent member of the Ameri-
= can Medical Temperance association:
THE popular impression in regard to
cold of the body, while at variance with
the facts, is of such long standing as to
have acquired the authority of age.
I'VE are frequently told by the I'M
thinking that to pass through severe
ordeal, or endure the hardship of cold
spell, one needs something like a warm
toddy, or the bracing effect of brandy
sling. Again, to endure the exhausting
trial of hot spell, it has been thought
that comforting glass of wine was of
great value, and the use of alcohol in
some form has been supposed to be of
great service in removing the exhaus-
ton of fatigue. The fallacy of such
ideas is quickly apparent to the I'M
prejudiced student.
IL Is well hnOWn IndJ dlcOHOl, when
taken into the body, is rapidly absorbed
unchanged into the blood. Then il
speedily commences to pass out of the
body in an unaltered condition. The
principal channel of elimination is the
lungs; smaller portions are thrown off
by the eXcretions. The results produced
by the presence of alcohol in the differ
ent portions of the body form most
interesting study. When diluted and
disguised and partaken of in the form
of beer or wine, if there is sufficient
amount of vital resistance in the stom-
ach, the alcohol will be thrown, back in
the reverse order to the way it came;
otherwise, and this is the most gener-
al condition of the community, the
stomach passes on the load to the Other
organs, for them to do as best they c2n

The increase has been a very swift
one. In 1918 the number of Jews in the
United States was estimated at only
1900 by Mordecai NJ. Noah, and so il
50 years their number has multiplied
itself 300 times at least. The growth in
number has been especially rapid since
1881, since which date it is thought the
Jewish immigration to the United
States was 4S5, 1888, or about one-halt
the total Jewish population, The num-
Der of Jews in the world is estimated at
100000, and the United States thus is
seen to have one-siXth of them.
Other statistics are not so easily at
tainab!e, except that there are 533 con-
gregations, orthodox and reformed,
with a membership of 130,O46 COM
municants. The two branches have 30i
synagogues. with seating capacity of

The Pittsburgh Dispatch very proper
ly, and at a timely moment. has COM
ment upon the effort of Pennsylvania
to carry the, local issues which are agi-
tatlng the parties in that state into the
national campaign-the choice Of con-
gressmeu and United States senator
which should be appreciated by the peo-
pie Of West Virginia. where similar eff
forts are being made by the Democracy,
70 divert attention from national issues.
It is well at this time for the Republic
cans Of West Virginia also to under
stand and to appreciate that the election
IS essentially a national one. and will
have most important bearing on the
future Of the country for 1t concerns
vital questions before the whole people.
While the contemporary alluded to

out Of charges of corruption in Pennsyl-
vania state matters, something which

It lays down as to the duty OF voters
toward national affairs win apply we'll
to such duties in all the states. When
the Dispatch says that "the Republican
national administration is entitled to
the support OF Pennsylvania without re-
gard to party this year, because the
country has on hand international ques-
hons and It behcoves US not to swap
horses while crossing a stream" It
utters truth which applies with equal
force everywhere in the country
To swap horses while crossing a
stream" would be unWlse on the part of
the people for this and other important
reasons. Those who would endanger
Republican success should realize what
Is involved in such a neglect Of duty.
Aside from the International questions
to be settled, and which should be set
tied By the same administration and
Congress ana senate that are responsible
for their Inauguration, and by the sue
ceeaIng Congress. which should be in
sympathy with the man at the wheel Of
the ship Of state, are other things to be
considered. One Of them is that the con-
ditons of the country have improved
under the policies. financial and econ
omie, Of the Republican party-pollcieS
which are bitterly opposed by the Dem
ocratlc party, whose agItations unset
tied business and whose administration
was accompanied by great business de-
preston.
For these reasons two important
things are to be looked after by West
virginia Republicans. the election of
cold Republican delegation to Congress
ana a legislature which will elect Re-
publicin to the United States senate. A

Rev. A. B. Simpson, the organizer OF
the Christian Alliance, has a wonderful
genius for raising money for missionary
purposes. His personal magnetism and
the eloquence OF his appeals always cue
coed In bringing enormous responses
from audiences where wealth Is repre-
sented. The instances are numerous.
but the most striking example Of his
wonderful power Is related by the New
York papers. At Carnegie Hail in that
city, on Sunday, ne BROKE his record +"
by appealing TO the patriotism Of his
hearers as we'll as to their religious
duty, aad after one address the contri.
buttons reached $4,000. This was at the
morning service. and at the evening
meeting he increased this amount to
si13.o@.
The scene described was remarkable
Cash, checks. ieWclry and all sorts o!
valuables were showered in the baskets
to the amount named. for the missionary
cause. This was a pretty good days
work, but was not exceptional, for, On
other occasions, 1t is recorded that DR.
simpsons appeals have been responded
to in a similar way. A man possessed
with such faculty, and whose impress
sion upon his listeners produces such re-
marKable results is endowed with Won
derful power.

Editorial IN the Register october 49,:
The organs OF the administration are
just now full Of statements, based on
worse than nothing, regarding the all
legged prosperity we are enjoying under
the present administration. which, By
the, way, has failed to fulfill one pro-
mise made to the people.
A potent object lesson of the kind
OF prosperity labor is enjoying at pres
emit is furnished in the great miners
strike in Illinois.
These miners struck for living wages.
They asked forty cents ton. They
we're offered the starvation wages of
tWenty-eIght cents ton. They refused
It and struck. Negroes were sent TO
take their places. In desperation tine
strikers, knowing no law but the first
one Of representation, fought the ne
groes and the deputies. AS a result
thlrtyfive men on both sides are dead
or wounded.
And the mine superintendent OF Mil
llonaire Mine Operator Marcus A. Han
ma recently predicted a mine strike that
would reach its height next year, which
he declared, would be the greatest IN
the history OF this country.
It has begun already.
That is a fair sample OF the prosperity
the present administration has brought
to American labor all along the indus
trial line.
