thereto But again the Council extended
the time to enable every one to make
the connections as required. Bu, that
time came and passed. and the ordi-

as result thirteen gentlemen were ar

morning and fined So each for violating
the ordinance forbidding householders
TO allow waste water to run in the

Many of the victims. particularly
those who occupy the position of ten

granted them ten days i'm, which to take
an appeal If they so desired But no

Why Heavy Drinkers Se'
Snakes.

Snake8.
Rev. DR.. Dewitt Talmage said in
recent sermon: "A celebrated doc
tor of France has recently discovered
something which; all drinkers of
alcoholic liquors ought to know. He
has found out that alcohol in every
shape, whether O.: wine or brandy or
beer, contains parasitic life, called
bacillus potuman@. By powerful
microscope these living things are
discovered, aud when you take
Estrong drink you tade them into
your stomach, and then into your
blood, and getting into tho crimson
Goals of life they 60 into every tissue
of your body, and your entire organ
ism is taken possession of by these
noxious infinitesimals. When in de
lirium tremens a man sees every
form of reptilian life, it is only these
parasites of the brain in exaggerated
size. It is not haIluncination that
the victim is suffering from. He on.
ly sees in the room what is actually
crawling and rioting in his own
brain. Every time you take strong
drink you swallow these maggots
and every time the imbiber of alco
hol in any shape feels vertigo OF
rheumatism or nausea, it is only thu
jubilee of these maggots. Efforts
are being made for the discovery o
some germicide that can kill the par
asites of alcoholism, the only thing
that will ever extirpate them is alb
stinence, to which I would before
Gcd swear all young men and old.
