ALCOHOL IN DISEASE.
Injurious to Digestion and DeIeterf.
Gus in Septic Conditions, as shown
by Experiments and Experience.

report on some special hospital
and training school work done by
society of Red Cross sisters consti-
tutes a strong argument in favor of
the disuse of alcohol in the treatment
of disease. President Wardwell, in
this report, refers to the objection
which has been held in his hospital
from its foundation to the admins
tration of alcohol in either surgical
cases or cases of disease. He states
positively that the medical and sur
gical staff have confined themselves
to an absolutely non-alcoholic treat
ment. The results have been most
gratifying, and have amply confirmed
the wisdom of the restriction. 1t is
admitted that alcohol in small quanti-
ties, by exciting the energies of the
body, may increase its capabilities dur
ing the short period in which it Is
sometimes required in disease, but this
point is always gained at the expense
of some vitality and later relaxa-
ton. Even in cases when infamma-
tons are relieved the advantage is
offset by the fact that while producing
this effect, it has a deleterious influ-
ence on the other tissues. Alcohol is
one of the worst things to imbibe
where it is necessary for the body to
withstand great cold or fatigue. An
eminent physician in giving advice to
party of young men who were set
ting out for the Klondike, said: "If
you want to get the most out of your
selves in the land of the Yukon, let
whisky severely alone" The arctic
explorer, Nansen, showed that those
who drank alcohol could not bear the
northern cold, and no one of his staff
was az owed to partake of it. Another
illustration of the undesirability of
using alcohol in trying ATTITUDES is
given by DR.. Lesser, who notes that as
an experiment q number of regiments
in the English army while in Soudan
received certain quantities of alcohol,
while other regiments went without.
The result showed that the latter could
bear the strain of long marches far
better and were better preserved than
those to,whom spirits were given. DR..
Lesser also remarked that he has found
alcohol injurious to digestion and dele
FERROUS in septic conditions. The re-
suits of the Investigations and observa-
tions at the Red Cross hospitals are
striking and suggestive, and are re-
ceiving the careful consideration of the
medical profession. - Los Angeles

THE CIGARETTE EVIL.
Strong Effort Being Made to Dis
prove Current Belief in Its
Hnrmfulness.

A strong effort is being made in va
rious quarters to disprove the current
belief in the harmfulness of cigarette
smoking. One prominent scientific
journal recently printed a letter from
a college professor on the subject in
which the learned gentleman "eXplod-
ed some popular fallacies." as to the
deleterious qualities of cigarettes, as
sorting that they are made of pure,
high grade Virginia tobacco, with
wrappers of harmless vegetable fiber
paper" 1t is difficult to believe in the
disinterestedness of this expert opin-
ion, especially since the letter is now
being printed extensively in the adver-
Using columns of the public press. The
doubtless found their trade seriously
affected by the stringent anti-cigar-
cite laws passed by various states as
well as by the growing sentiment ad-
verse to their business, and have thought
it necessary to adopt some method OF
counteraction. But it will take the
opinion of more than one learned pro-
lessor, however sincere it may be, to
offset the observations and expert
ences of years as to the deadly effects
of cigarette smoking upon the human
system. UnhapPly for the cause of
the cigarette dealers some very posi-
tive and damaging testimony against
their business is now before the pub
lie from the examining surgeons of our
volunteer army. These men say that
large percentage of the young men re-
jected because of physical unfitness for
army service owed their rejection to
the habit of cigarette smoking. This
habit, it is said is especially conducive
to heart trouble, disease which the
surgeons found to be alarmingly prev
alent among the men whom they ex-
amined. These reports afford strik-
ing confirmation of the falsity of the
claims put forth for the innocence of
the garette.-Christian Work.

tack by HOOdIums.

Back on the hills overlooking Che
mango Forks stands frowning fort
whose guns menace the valley and
from whose ramparts floats the Amer
lean flag. This is probably the only
private fort in the United States, be-
ing owned by Abraham Hinkley, a
veteran of the civil war and a queer
character, who makes his living by
gathering herbs and roots in the sum-
mer time and trapping and fishing the
rest of the year.

quent trips to Binyhamton to obtain
the latest news, and the subject so
worked on his mind that he became
convinced that the Spaniards would
sail up the Chenango and Susquehanna
rivers, and accordingly began to pre-
pare for defense
When persons whom he met laughed
at him, Hinkley likened himself to
Noah and warned them that they
would all be fleeing to his ark for pro-
lection.
The fort is simply an earthwork
thrown up on the side hill. Rifle holes
are made in the side walls. from which

watch on the Notifications from sun
set until midnight, when it is relieved
by its master, who watches until morn

Recently several boys in the neigh
borhood thought to have some fun
with the old man and arranged a mid
night raid on the fort. A cloudy night,
lit only by flashes OF heat lightning,
was selected. The lads crept near the
fort and then with L shout made dash
up the hill. There was the howl of a
dog and then the fort blazed with
light and three charges of bird shot
went whistling overhead.
Frightened nearly into fits, the boys
flew down the hill, yelling: Don't
shoot" Since that episode Hinkley's
fort has been left severely alone. and
the old soldier is telling tall stories
of the manner in which he repealed
the invasion of a regiment of Spanish
infantry.-N. Y. Press.

SIGHTS WHICH SADDEN.
Some Drinking Habits Which Cause
the Thinking Man to Pause
and Reject.

Now and again one sees Incidents in
a place where much public drinking
is being done which may perhaps cause
him to pause and reflect. An ordinary
case of intoXication is not likely to
attract the serious attention of the
man who has passed much of his life
in city. Indeed, it is quite possible
that certain phases of intoXication
may really be amusing, for the mo-
ment, in the man who would condemn
intemperance OF that sort as even an
occasional excess. For instance, the
spectacle presented the other night
by very much inebriated person who
sat on a curbstone trying to get his
latch key into a BARRIERS pole, would
have been likely to make Francis Muir
ply himself laugh, whatever his sec
ond emotion might have been. On the
other hand, be it said to the credit of
human nature, there are few men to
whom the spectacle of a drunken wom-
an will not bring "a feeling of repug-
nance and disgust no matter what
form the intoXication may have as
sumed, or how blase may be the OBJ
server.
There is another spectacle not in
frequently seen nowadays in the
drinking world, which is never funny,
is always sad and is generally ominous.
An Eagle reporter observed this par
ticular spectacle on the Bowery at
Coney Island the other day, when a
red-faced and perspiring man was seen
to deposit a small morsel of humanity
"a baby, evidently about three years
old-on a bar adjoining one of the
concert halls while he himself added
to the number of active heat units
in his body by absorbing glass of
the liquid which goes by the name of
beer" The cherub kicked its heels
