covered with hundreds of floral tributes
from different councils of the order. A
feature of the gathering was a deega-
ton Of 800 wheemen, mostly from
Brooklyn.

ALCOHOL IN DISEASE.
A Test by Doctors in Hospital
Which Proved 1t Can BE Sue
cessfuIly Dispensed With.

Aside from the scientific reasons
which cause institutions TO discon-
tinue the extensive use of alcohol
as a medicine, there are many incidents
connected with it's use, which should
teach US that wherever possible it
should be avoided in the sick room.
That it is not a beneficial medicine. |
am convinced from my personal OBJ
Seryations of the treatment of disease
in the Red Cross hospital as well as
from reading the reports OF other in
situations, in which alcohol is not
given as a medicine or food
While the scientific proofs of the i'll
effects of whisky, brandy, wine, etc,
are convincing, there was time when
1 had enough confidence in the efficacy
of these stimulants to urge the patient
to take it; and had it not been for my
experience in this regard, [ might never
have urged the investigation which led
to the abolishing of alcohol from the
list of medicines used in the Red Cross
hospital.
The following story, distressing as
Az dCSCl NCo IildI II SllOuIh DC ludbC
known as it occurred:
With the desire of establishing hos
pital and training school for Red Cross
sisters, entered one of New York's
foremost hospitals and training schools
for nurses. In the last six months of
my studies, while having charge of the
children's ward, one of my patients, a
boy of IL years, had pneumonia, Among
the medicines we received was also
an order for one-half ounce of whisky
three times a day. Whisky or brandy,
in larger or smaller doses, were the
principal stimulants used then. 1t was
not usual for a patient to refuse it.

ONE CAUSE OF INTEMPERANcE
The Lack of Good, NOurIshing Food
Said to Produce a Craving
for Drink.

1t is now pretty well understood that
bad feeding and consequent poverty
of blood creates a craving for ardent
spirits in those to whom the neces-
saries of life come only in inadequate
supply, says Chambers Journal.
When the Workingman's wife has
learned the value of a good hot meal
for a tired, hungry man, and knows
how to prepare it, there may be less
need of temperance associations and
liquor-licensing laws. There is reason
to hope that the cooking lessons now
included in the school board curricu-
lum may effect an improvement in the
dietary of thu working classes; for
there is little doubt that in many such
homes it has not been so much the
want of material as the want of skill
to turn what was at hand to good ac-
count.
In the course of time, too, the in
structions the young scholars are re-
ceiving in the industrial departments
ought to make them more efficient
servants, as well as housewives, a con-
summation devoutly to be desired by
employers, as hitherto there has been
no branch of culture, excepting domes-
