it is swallowed it makes it's way through

skin, lungs and kidneys, which are irri-
tated by its passage. Once it has been in
troduced into the body it performs its
deathly work. The digestive apparatus is
the first point of attack. The stomach,
whether bloated by beer drinking or
shrunk by brandy drinking, soon becomes
liberated, causing hemorrhases. Digestion
becomes more difficult, for the gastric
juices are diminished in quantity by the
paralyzing of the glands.
The liver becomes congested and swollen,
heavy and painful. This is fatty degenera-
tion of the liver. Then sometimes the liver
shrivcls up and is covered with a hard,
stony tissue. This is crrhosis. The taste
changes very early. leading to all kinds of
alterations. When an old absinthe drink.

directly toward tuberculosis. The kid

Laboring Mon Waking Up.

It is especially gratifying to see how
! generally the laboring classes OF our tel
! low citizens are approaching the truth that
| the burdens of the liquor traffic are borne
principally by them, even though they
may never enter saloon; that the terri
BILE waste made by the liquor traffic can
be repaired only by production; that the
landlord who pays increased taxes for the
support of paupcrs, prisons and police In,
| eyitablv adds that cost to the rent charSeo'
| to the laboring man, and that the manu-
| facturer reimburses himself for his in
creased taxation by reduction OF wages TO
his employees.
Intelligent mechanics and operatives are
! learning that increased liquor sales mean
reduction of house and furniture building;
reduced demand for shoes, hats, coats, cal
! icoes, silks and hannels, and therefore his
employment in building machinery used
! in such production. The farmer will have
! less sales OF -four. pork. potatoes and other
products of his toll in proportion as the
! saloon thrives.
! No department of honest industry can
escape the devastating influence of the sue
cess of the liquor traffic, except possibly
that of the undertaken: &,
Tradesmen are learning that their bad
debts are made chiefly because the money

The Most Dangerous Drink OF All.
! Yet another fallacy on which we need
