Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-05-29


What does young man lose by not
drinking spirits?
In the first place it is necessary to
cultivate the taste in the beginning
Why cultivate it at all?
In the second place, admitting all the
usual sophistry about moderate drink
ing, whisky means the loss of time.
loss of money, loss of clear mental
thought.
There is boasting, lying, vacillation,
procrastination, self-delusion in every
glass of spirits.
How many millions of men-on their
dying bed-have wished fervently and
mournfully that they had never tasted
spirits.
Did any dying man ever regret a
temperate life?

A White Night in Sleepy Hollow.

The old Dutch church that Irving loved
Shows all it's windows thick with frost
Deep are the SHOWS upon its roof,
Its ancient groves in drifts are lost;
The Icy pond and ruined mil!
The bridge beyond the willows. where
The headless horseman rode by night,
Is built of carved marble now,
The winding road is smoothly white,
The bushes sheeted specters pale
In Sleepy Hollow's haunted vale.
But in the woodlands snowy heart
A little brook l cannot see
Among the stiffiy frozen reeds
Still keeps its merry spirit free,
And with a steadfast faith sublime
Sings of the joys of summertime.
-Minna Irving, in the Era

Drink for Old Ago.

Here is a saying of one wise man
of the Talmud:
Until forty years of age, eating is
best; after forty years drinking is
best"
A man in Maine has celebrated his
one hundred and fifth birthday. He
announces that he is moderate
whisky drinker.
A great many immoderate whisky
drinkers will probably hold up this
very old person as proof that there is
no harm in their whisky habit
A man looking for an excuse for
drinking can always find one. There
is not much use in arguing with him.
1t is hard enough to appeal success
fully to a man who actually wants to
stop drinking.
We shall do no arguing, but point
out:
First, there is wisdom in the 4 al
mudic saying, at least to this extent:
In mature years, and especially in very
old age, stimulants taken very mod
erately are usually beneficial; some
times they are absolutely necessary.
But stimulants are useful in old age
only when their use follows upon a
temperate youth.
In other words, the young man who
leaves whisky alone and leaves alone
all other strong drinks is saving up
for his old age a remedy that will be
useful, that will help him over many
years.
1t is quite certain that the man in
Maine who was a moderate whisky
or nothing to drink in his early youth.
Such good effect as stimulants can
have upon the heart when it becomes
weak through old age cannot be Sc
cured by the man who has discounted
the future by early indulgence. Let
this be held in memory.
The Action of Alcohol on Muscle.
At recent meeting of the New
York Academy of Sciences f. S. Lee
and w. Salant presented a paper de-
failing the results of some recent in
vestigations they had been carrying on
jointly to ascertain the effects of al
cohol on muscles. 1t appears, accord
ing to the paper, that they used pure
ethyl alcohol and the isolated muscles
of the frog in their experiments, and
found that the muscles which had alb
sorbed a moderate quantity of alcohol
would contract more quickly, relax
more slowly, perform a greater mum
ber of contractions in given time and
become fatigued less rapidly than mus
cles without alcohol, the effect being
most pronounced in from one to three
quarters of an hour after the liquid
