The committee appointed at the North
field summer conference of Christian
workers in August last to investigate the
statements of Prof. Atwater, of Wesleyan
university, on the nutritive value of alec
hol, has made an exhaustive report in a
pamphlet entitled Gan Appeal to Truth"
The data furnished by Prof. Atwater
were subjected to a searching analysis by
leading experts in physiological chemistry,
and the report says the entire testimony
shows that, according to his own tables,
Prof. Atwater's costly experiments have
produced no evidence to sustain his charge

mitted suicide on Sunday. Mr.. Estes went

him acting strangely in the barn. The

Mrs. Estes became anxious and went
in search of her husband The barn and
all the other farm buildings were carefully
searched, but until o'clock no trace of
him was found. Mr.. Estes had gone up in
to the loft and partly covered himself with
hay, and then suspended his head and neck
in a short bit of sheep Irvine, tying the 9th
er end to beam. He laid down and al
lowed himself to choke TO death, though
there were evidences of a struggle. The
cause of the suicide must have been fit of
insanity, as Mr.. Estes was apparently in
good health and had no financial or other
troubles so far as known. He leaves

The Service OF Today.
To-day my friends, the great postal service
of the United States stands unequaled by that
of any other country, either in revenues, in
cost or in efficiency. Uncle Sam spares no
expense to meet the requirements of an exact
ing public. Every practical improvement is
promptly adopted; distances are overcome and
geographical obstacles surmounted, while the
cost to the people remains the same-iwo cents
from Augusta, Me. ito Cape Nome, Alaska
two cents Just think of it The first pack
age of mail delivered in the Klondike three or
four years ago cost for the transportation the
snug sum of three hundred dollars per letter,
while Uncle Sam got two cents per letter.
Only recently contract was executed for the
transportation Of mail overland to Cape Nome
at cost of eight thousand dollars a trip.
When one considers this immense cost for the
of a few letters to the daring
gold seeker, it is not surprising that the gov
erument is willing to spend a tew millions for
the benefit and comfort of the residents of its
rural communities, and to spare nothing to
bring the efficiency of the postal service up to
q standard of perfection unparalleled in the
history of human undertakings"
