Effect of a Drink

Take q man who is drinking whisky
and observe him. The effect Of the
drink is upon the higher faculties, and
its first influence is to tell upon the
mans sense of reserve and his regard
for the proprieties.
After the first drink his tongue is
loosened; he talks more glibly than
before With the second drink his re-
serve is gone and his talk probably
borders upon the indiscreet. At the
third drink. il he be in congenial com-
pany. he may want to dance. and at
the fourth he is satisfied that he is the
best dancer in the house.
Just when he would prove the fact
somebody is likely to prevent 1t and
he becomes offended With equal con-
viction he announces that he can whip
any one man in the house, and with the
succeeding drink he does some spar
ring to give weight to his utterance.
"He begins to lose control of his
muscles. however, and when he has
sunk into such a degree of uncon-
seriousness that he can be aroused
only by physical effort, that last dim
mental conviction is that he can whip
any three OF four men in the house.
| In that state, with all the higher nerve
centers paralyzed and the motor cen
tiers controlling his limb movements
benumbed. he, mercifully for himself
falls asleep. Had it been possible for
him to have gone on 20 another one oil

and respiration. at the top OF the

lyzed. killing him more quickly thar
arsenic would have done. From ter
minutes to one hour is the period il
which q man may die from too much

From the fact that the men drank

"SHALL 1 BE SAVED TO-NIGHTw
Mr.. WOIfsOhn's Song Has Brought
Conviction TO Many Hearts.

Shall Be Saved Tonight" was the
question sweetly and strongly put in
song by Mr.. Wolfsohn to a large con-
gregation at Duffy Street Baptist
Church last night. Not only is the
song a beautiful one, but the manner
in which the singer rendered it was
appealing and affecting, The song SER
vice was enjoyable, but when the
strains of that sweet song, which has
become endeared to the heart of
many, Christ Is All You Need" rang
out, it was inspiring.
Rev. Robert Van Deventer having
some months ago made an engagement
to officiate at the marriage of one of
the converts of a former pastorate,
who has since become a minister of
the gospel, was absent from the city,
and Rev. Ed f. Cook, pastor of Wes-
ley Monumental Church, preached one
of his best sermons.
Rev Mr. Cox took his text from
Thess. 11:1S: But Satan hindered us. p"
1t was a mastery argument, contend
ing the presence OF a personal devil.
1--WE believe" he said, "in the person
ality of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. and yet 1 am
afraid, while we believe this, we over
look the fact that the devil is also a
person, a supernatural being" He
showed how Satan binders in many
ways; how he binders the young man
and the young woman. Our beautiful
Savannah might be the brightest, hap
piest and most pleasant spot on earth,
but Satan has entered, and has hinder
ed us, establishing through the hand
of men, barrooms, gambling hells and
places to debauch the minds and souls
of young men,"
Rev. Mr. Cook brought out clearly
the fact that all men in their soul yearn
after God, land yet" he said. sit is
distressing how few people know God
in the forgiveness of sin. The worst
man you meet has a desire for some
thing better something nobler than his
grovelling in the dust, and feeling this
desire on the part of man, the Master
says, Come unto me- Many here to-
night would know the God of love, but
Satan has hindered them"
Mr.. Cook went on to show the meth
DDS adopted by Satan in hinderinn
men. how attractive he paints sin and
the pleasures of this world; how he
SAYS: you are not so bad-you are
all right, living a moral life and al
that" and how he urges that there i:
no necessity to be concerned about
oneself.
Mr.. Cooks closing appeal was Il
those interested to stay to the after
meeting. The response was a generous
one. the church being crowded, and ir
that meeting two people protested con
version.
Mr.. VanDeventer will return to-mor
row, and will preach tomorrow night
The afternoon meetings are at o'clock
and the night service, which is pre-
coded by twenty minute prayer meet
ing, begins at o'clock. Mr.. WolfsohI
will sing at every meeting.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Trouble.

Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, ii is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs. of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic disease is incurable, but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure Of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action, hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making il thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
| tion and 10 insure the prompt assim-
| ilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use
! after meals of some safe, pleasant and
| effective digestive preparation, like
! Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may
| be found at most drug stores, and
4 which contain valuable, harmless di-
/ gestiye elements In a pleasant conven-
