Thomas Elva Edison was once asked
why he was total abstainer. He said:
1 thought l had a better use for my
head" The answer is worth remem-
bering by any young fellow who means
to use his brains. A wonderful battery
they make. Every morning they take
up their work and start us on our daily
pleasure or daily duty, if we have not
tried this stimulus or that stimulus,
not in the plan for which they were
made.
The young man who means to do the
best possible work his body and mind
can do keeps his body and mind pure,
as clean from outside filth as Edison
keeps his brain. This is what is meant
when we are told to keep ourselves as
pure as little children are.
The men who are trained for a foot
ball match, or running match. or a
boxing match, have to keep their bodies
from any stimulus but that which is
given by food prepared in the simp-
lest way, so as to suit the most simple
appetite.
1t is not simply that mans body
must be in good order itself; what is
needed is that man shall be ready
and able to govern his body. He shall
say, GO" and his body shall co. He
shall say, Go faster" and his body
shall go faster. His will. his power to
govern his machinery, depends on his
keeping himself pure.-Rev E. E. Hale
in Temperance Ideas.

TROOPS WE'RE sLANDEREp,
Unjust Criticism OF Their Conduct in
Porto Rico.

Some of the newspapers published in
Porto Rico have been publishing articles
bitterly critical of the conduct of the Unit
ed States soldiers who have been sent to
the island as a permanent garrison The
soldiers have been accused of all sorts of
misdemeanors. of ruffi&nism, of petty lar
Ceny, of destruction of private prOperty
and, in fact, of every kind of excess which
might be charged against green troops in
a foreign country. The charges reflected
particularly upon the volunteer regiments
and were so general and earnest that Sec
retary Alger felt called upon to take for
NAL notice of them. 1t was evident that
if they We're well founded the Porto Ricans
were Likely to be aiienated from their new
allegiance almost before they had become
fairly attached. So a cdb.egram was sent
tn Major General Brooke commanding all
of the United States troops in Porto Rico
calling his attention to these reports The
answer came this morning in the shape

latien of civil service law. in being "offen-
sive!y'' active in trying 10 induce West Vir-
sinia voters to go to their homes on cleo
ton day, Mr.. Bowers said:
As a West Virginian and as personal
friend OF Representative Dayton of the sec
ond district | have been doing what
could to get West Virginia republicans to go
home 10 vote. The West Virginia Repub-
hcan Association of this city. and several
prominent citizens well. furnished me
with the names CT q number of West Viz
ginia republicans who desired to go home
and vote. Many of them did not feel able
to buy railroad tickets, and / was person
ally asked if could help them. / took the
names of those who desired to go home,
and went to Baltimore, where [ purchased
with cash the desired tickets. These /
turned ever to my secretary, with instruc-
tions to send them. ] furnished him with
stamps to place on the envelopes. He tells
me that he did this in every case.
There has been no attempt to intimidate
any voter nor to bribe any voter. and on
this point l court an investigation
The names furnished me were under
stood to be those of republicans only and
of the men who earnestly wished to go
home and vote. 1t is likely that some one
has stolen an unstamped envelope from my
office before it had been stamped to be sent
out to mail. 1t was then mailed without a
stamp for the purpose of trying to cause
trouble"
