Generally speaking. however, there

The ordinary glass for whisky In the
better class barroom holds about one
quarter of pint. but while the bar
tender hands out bottle and glass with
a certain hospitable show of help

that no more than one-half the meas

narily one-third the glass will do.

is sharp decrease in the size of the
glasses for whisky. The beer schoon-
er may be truly one of the largest on
earth" but the collar" is put on by
the bartender. With the whisky bot
tie in his hand. however, it is recog-
nized that most drinkers will fill the
glass to the top, and in order to con-
serve profits the top rim is put closer

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TT is the opinion OF Chicago bartead-
- ers that Ralph Alien. the Fort SheE-
idan recruit who won q wager by tax
ing . pint OF raw whisky a. guip.
could have won the sum IN any ordi-
nary bar room by making the quantity
only half a pint
In the opinion Of Dr. n s. Davis,
the veteran practitioner who has made
alcoholism the study Of years. the fact
that Allen went to the guard house in
stead OF TO the undertaker's seems to
partake of something akin to the thing
commonly referred TO as dispense
ton OF Providence
Half as much whisky as Allen took
has killed many man. and especially
many young men who have not attain
ed their growth said DR.. Davis II
shall watch with interest TO see IL the
man dies from II"
To one unfamiliar with the work
ings of alcohol, such gulp Of whisky
is not appreciated. A pint Of whisky
drank inside OF an hour Is vastly Diff
ferent In its effects TO pint swallowed
al one drink. Just as soon as alcohol
Is taken into the system the body be-
gins to make efforts TO throw OF the
poison Much OF II is exhaled from the
body with the breath: much Of it pass-
es on into the lower digestive appa-
ratus. and II is even said that il ex-
udes from the body through the pores.
The salvation of the drunkard. of
course. lies in the manner in which
alcohol affects the nerve centers in the
brain. Else the first time man took
whisky enough to intoxicate he would
die on the spot quicker than from
dose of arsenic.
Effect Of a Drink
Take 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-
yiction 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 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 or four men in the house
In that state, with all the higher nerve
centers paralyzed and the motor CEN
ters controlling his limb movements
benumbed. he, mercifully for himself.
falls asleep. Had it been possible for
him to have gone on 20 another one or
two drinks. the centers Of circulation
and respiration. at the top Of the
spinal cord. would have been para
| lyzed. killing him more quickly than
arsenic would have done From ten
minutes to one hour is the period in
which q man may die from too much
whisky. while man taking arsenic
may live from four to twenty-foul
hours
