daughter, came home late the other
night and taking revolver from his
pocket, shot one son fatally and the
other SO that his recovery is doubt

Then he vas taken to a police sta

that we talk and act as though alco-

Estimating Damage Done
by Recent Forest Fires

1t is impossible to estimate with ex-
actness the damage wrought by the
forest fires that have been raging in
Washington. Oregon. Wyoming and
Colorado already this fall. Not until
the burned territory has been thor
oughly gone over can any authorita-
tive estimate be made. 1t is probable
that the severity Of the forest fires in
the west this year will result in Sc
curing better protection through legis-
lation, and also an extension of the
national forest reserve system.
The greatest factor in the safety OF
the forest reserve is the stringent set
tive. AS soon as person enters a
government forest reserve he finds
signs staring him in the face and in
forming him that he must not kindie
an open fire in the reserve. Every
camper is required TO have stove OF
some sort. AS folding sheet-iron
stoves can be secured at small eX-
pense. this is not hardship, as many
imagine. Sometimes this law is brok-
en- in ridiculously costly fashion. as a
recent instance in the White River
forest reserve, In Colorado, proved. a
party of clergymen were hunting and
fishing in the reserve. near the place
where President Roosevelt hunted
mountain lions. They lad q folding
camp stove, and intended to comply
with the law, but after using the stove

DEcENERAcY AND ALCOHOL

The following Is an extract from a
paper read by DR.. MacNicholl at the
recent meeting OF the American Medi.
cal Temperance Association:
We are often met with the declara-
ton that intemperance and immoral
ity with their accompanying evils are
the outgrowth of degeneracy. but a
preponderating mass OF evidence
points to degcneracy as the outgrowth
Of alcoholism.
l. Alcohol is the most constant fac.
tor in the history of those physical
aud social disorders which demand
state and municipal control.
In the etiology Of crime, insanity
and poverty, the records Of our courts
and charitable institutions rank alco-
mol foremost.
2. Alcohol retards and impairs the
normal organic functions of the body.
The results Of the experimental re-
searches of Abbott, Kraepelin, Laiti-
zen and Kellogg, made under the
most favorable circumstances and
with the aid OF the very best modern
appliances, are overwhelmingly con-
elusive against alcohol. showing that
it is reducer of muscular strength, a
disintegrator OF nerve tissue, and an
sbetter of disease.
3. Alcohol is cause OF surgical
shock
In record of cases presented to
this association June IA, 1900 We re-
ported that alcohol enhanced the dan.
