The Willmar congregation Of the
Lutheran Free church was organized
in 1872 By Rev. +. q. Dahl. There
were about 40 members at first
Among the men who took On active
part ii the work Of organization were
John Paulson. Ole Glarum, ]. G.
Olson, Ole Tollefson, John Olson, Chris
Arntson and E. Ellingson. Rev. q.
Paulsona visited the congregation In
1873 and the following year he came
here as the first resident pastor. He
labored zealously for the upbuildfng
OF the church during twelve years. The
first services were held in the court
house. In 1875 the church was built.
During the years that Paulson labored
here the membership roseto about 200.
Rev. M. H. Hegge succeeded Rev.
Paulson in 1885, and had charge Of
the congregation for several years.
He was succeeded by Rev. F. e. Gynild,
the present pastor. =.2. s T .: III.

for decorous appearance. clean linen

Even more convincing a motive for

reason to guard against a single de-
bauch, lest he wake up the next morn

not only is it seen that alcohol stands
straight in the way of financial sue

forward and showing that in the home
where strong drink and tobacco have a
place the children run great risk of

A WAR ON ABSlNTH.

French Legislators Intend to Conn
bat That Most Dangerous Liquor.
The French chamber of deputies has
begun a war on absinth by passing
resolution calling upon the government
to prevent the manufacture and sale
of the dangerous drink. For number
of years have medical societies and ex-
perts in insanity uttered their warn
,ings against this liquor, but to no eff
feet. The consumption Of it has gone
on increasing atan enormous rate, hav.
ing nearly doubled since 1894. and now
amounts to about 100000 quarts a
year. It Is without question the most
dangerous liquor ever put upon the
market, and it's frequent use is sure to
result in complete wreck not only of
the body, but of the brain. ~ T.. ~ -,
Absinth, according to the best def1ni-
ton, is a liquor prepared from alcohol
mixed with volatile oil of wormwood,
oil of anise and other ingredients.
1t has peculiarly intoxicating effects,
which are due to the oil of worm wood,
the state resulting from its use being
very different from the result of alco-,
holic poisoning. Trembling. vertigo,
fearful dreams and epileptiform con-
vulsions are among the severer conse-
quences. Absinth drinking Is one Of
the most dangerous forms Of stimula-
ton yet Invented, the more SO because
its immediate consequences are usually
more agreeable than those of alcohol.
b. While the use of absinth is by no
means as common In this country as in
France, yet It's consumption here has
been Increasing at an alarming rate.
Some Of It Is imported, but no doubt
the most dangerous portion Of It Is
made In this country and of the very
worst ingredients. If France carries
out its plan Of stopping the manufac-
ture and sale, the United States should
follow suit and should also put 9 ban
on its Importation from any foreign
land.-Baltimore American z. SIS

THE USE OF, BEER.
Physicians Find That 1t Produces
Degeneration of the Organs.

Physicians Find That 1t Produces
Degeneration of the Organs.
For some years, says The Scientific
American, a decided inclination has
been apparent all over the country to
give up the use Of whisky and other
strong alcohols. using as substitute
beer and other compounds. This is ev-
identity founded on the idea that beer
Is not harmful and contains large
amount of putriment; also that bitters
may have some medicinal quality which
will neutralize the alcohol it conceals.
These theories are without confrma-
ton in the observation of physicians.
The use of beer is found to produce a
species Of degeneration of all the Or
gans. Profound and deceptive fatty de-
pOsits, diminished circulation, condi-
ton Of congestion and perversion of
functional activities, local inflamma-
tions of both the liver and kidneys are
constantly present. s*..s =. =, -;
intellectually stupor amounting to
almost paralysis arrests the reason,
changing all the higher faculties into
mere animalism, sensual, selfish, slug
gish, varied only with paroxysms of
anger that are senseless and brutal.
+ In appearance the beer drinker may
be the picture of health, but in reality
he is most incapable of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, severe cold or
q shock to the body or mind will COM
monty provoke acute disease, ending
fatally. Compared with inebriates who
use different kinds of alcohol he Is
more incurable and more generally dis
eased. The constant use of beer every
day gives the system no recuperation,
but steadily lowers the vital forces.
1t Is our observation that beer drink
ing In this country produces the very
lowest kind Of inebriety, closely allied
to criminal insanity. The most dan
gerous rufians in our large cities are
beer drinkers. Recourse to beer as
substitute for other forms Of alcohol
merely increases the danger and ia
tally. s~. ..-

Intemperance.sS s:s5
Above all other causes OF intemper-
ance IS that Of alcoholic medica ton,
and the medical profession IL respon-
sible, declares the New York Lfber-
ator. The doctor gives alcohol the
reputation Of being stimulant, Q term
Of defniteness, by some understood
to be equal to that Of nutrition, but ev.
in favor Of alcohol as
medicine is equally cogent IN favor Of
its use as beverage. @z-. s.ss3 -. &.
/ If scientific truth upholds alcoholic
medication. then are all our temper
ance efforts in.s5vain and our work an
absurdity; hence the necessity for ex-
act knowledge.Twhich can be had, only
there is trouble with some Of our
standard teachers, whom more modern
research has proved to be in error.
T That alcohol Is a food Is daily dis:
proved. It does not prolong life, does
not increase ones strength. AS with
drugs and other foreign substances,
the presence of alcohol in the body
calls for vital energy to free itself from
the intruder. Too frequently this ex-
hibition Of vital resistance is mistaken
for increased vital energy, and thus
many are led astray.Z -: = =
Let us understand that dead matter
never acts upon living matter. Living,
organic matter is the only active agent
In all the relations of physical life. An
animal organism cannot appropriate
inorganic substances, Of which alcohol
is one, being a narcotic poison. It con-
tains no element Of nutrition, robs the
tissues Of the body, even cremating the
red corpuscles Of the blood and para
lying the inhibitory centers Of the
brain. It is well known that on all
plant life and the lower forms Of AMI
NAL life alcohol acts as q rapid and
fatal poison. The uselessness and in.
furious effects when used as remedy
are shown by Dereira, Schmeideburg,
Bunge, Gushing and others, in which
respect a great change has taken place
during the past so years. -~
When the medical profession teaches
the world the exact scientific truth of
the relation of alcohol to the living or
ganism, then alcoholic medication will
be abandoned and alcoholic beverages
be done away with.

When Dr.. Rush lit his torch Of tenn

the nineteenth century, SO brilliant was
the light that people were startled as II
awakening out OF deep sleep. In his

:"Were It possible for me to speak with

of the Mississippi, which bound the ter

While DR.. Rush was far In advance

Consider the motives for total abb

WOMEN DRINKING MORE.

Secret Drunkenness ON the Increase
# Among En9land's Gentler Sex.
!. It is, fear, true that drunkenness
has lately increased among English
women, and not only among those Of
them who are jewellers in the slums,
but also among the well to do and the
wealthy. Indeed in regard to this vice
the women of Great Britain, Of all So
cial grades and Of all degrees Of cul-
ture, have q bad pre- eminence among
! the English speaking women Of the
world. ~ f B. 81. s
n the United States and Canada In
toxication among women Is compare
lively rare. In Australia, Tasmania
and New Zealand the condition Of wo-
men as regards this vice is far better
than it is with us in England. It is
true that Of the total number of persons
arrested for drunkenness In this scoun-
try women constitute rather less than
third, but in that third few save
those belonging to the "submerged''
sections are included. OF the working
class and the middle and upper class
female drunkards very few ever see
the interior Of police court. Secret
drinking is their scourge. But there is
great deal of that. s *sS.5 : ~...szsz =. g.,
In this country It is customary to at
tribute female intemperance almost ex-
clusively to grocers' licenses. Yet in
Gothenburg grocers' licenses form a
far larger proportion OF all licenses
than they do In England. Yet women
there and throughout Scandinavia gen
orally are exceedingly temperate. It is
to something deeper reaching and much
less manageable than grocers' licenses,
bad as these are, that we owe this
