Statistics can prove anything, and all
though English life insurance companies
show that moderate drinkers dive the
longest total abstainers less, heavy
drinkers still less and drunkards the
shortest, we are justified in slightly mod
flying this order. The class of total alb
stainers contains many unstable, short
lived men who cannot stand any alcohol
and who abstain from self-preservation
Young moderate drinkers surely injure
themselves by occasional lapses. We are
then safe in classifying young, vigorous
civilians as to their vital powers in the
following order: Abstainers, moderate
drinkers and heavy drinkers. We should
expect that when we take these three
classes to the tropics the first would
stand the climate the best, the second
les and the third, being most damaged
beforehand, furnish the most cases of
collapse. This is said to be a fact but
that does not alter the other fact that
they all need a little alcohol when they
are exhausted. Men accustomed to alco-
hole are even said to fare badly in the
tropics If they abstain and thus upset a
habit, bad though it be-. 49, Ii +.

correct ideas upon the use and misuse OF
alcohol are probably as old as the knowl-

practical rules in use for two thousand
years.

her relief last Saturday morning.
Mrs. Pressey was formerly Frances A.
Hutchinson, and was united in mar
