Men on the Elypaper

What happens to the man who fre-
quents a saloon?
Exactly that which happens to the
flies on the fypaper.
One man goes near the edge of the
whiskey habit, takes a little and goes
away, like the fly first mentioned, who
approached the edge Of the tiypaper.
This human fly who takes a little
and goes away is almost sure to come
back again in time.
Other men who approach the whis-
key fiypaper take little and promptly
wade right in to their doom.
The human victims that alight on
the whiskey fiypaper have as many
ways of struggling, as many ways of
dying, as many ways of suffering and
as few chances of escaping as the ig-
norant flies that alight on the sticky
fypaper in the hot kitchen.

Alcohol for Mental Work

An extended inquiry into the ques-
ton of the use of intoxicants for men,
tai work made some time since by Mr..
A. A. Reade resulted in a general con-
sensus of opinion that "our best writ
ers, dearest thinkers and greatest
scholars do not regard the use of alco
hol as essential to thinking 1t was,
indeed the experience of many, such
as the archbishop of Canterbury, Dean
Farrar, Oliver Wendell Holmes, etc,
that they worked better when not
using any alcoholic beverages. In
1900 the senior wrangler at Cam
bridge, Mr.. J. e. Wright, was practi-
cally a tee-totaller, and the second
wrangler, Mr.. A. Cyril Adds, was a
life abstainer; whilst others at Oxford
and in the Victoria university taking
honors in their respective schools
gained the most prominent positions
without recourse to alcohol in any
shape or form.
Last year affords equally striking
and convincing proof that alcohol is in
no way necessary to sustained mental
effort of the highest order. Mr.. Alex
ander Brown of CaiuS college, Cam
bridge, the senior wrangler. has kind
ly written: Il have never found alco-
hoIic stimulants either useful or neces-
sary to my work, in fact, l studiously
avoid them when special concentration
is necessary. / may add that apart
from my own practice in the matter I
have known at least one case where a
stimulant was taken before an eXami-
nation with disastrous results" SINH
larly, Mr.. H Knapman, the second
wrangler, says: II have always been

ages and I have at no time felt any

Too Much Water Blamed For De
mise of Eben Waters

mise of Eben Waters.
A dispatch from Salem, Mass, con-
veys the Information that Eben
Waters (prophetic name), 80 years
old, died last week from excessive
water drinking. He did not indulge
in alcoholic drinks of any kind. and
he is said to have been temperate in
all things except his appetite for
water. 1t was his habit to drink
three quarts Of water every day, and
this, his doctors say, resulted in com,
plications that proved fatal" At any
rate. he died. 1t is sad case to con-
template. Here was man cut off
in the prime of life, at the perihelion
of his usefulness, so to speak, and
3k because of the lack of a little
wholesome restraint. 1t is charitable
- believe that he was not wholly re-
sponsible. 1t may have been that he
was an only son, and that his doting
parents spoiled him, allowed him to
have his own way too often, and did
not point out strongly enough that
self-indulgence is the shortest path
their error now that it is too late,
which is the cause of fully one-third
of the tragedies of life. Scientists
aver that the average of life is great
er now than at any other period in
the history of man, and that more In
terest is taken in the subject of long
evity. If this be so, there is a moral
in the untimely demise of Mr.. Waters.

The river is clear of ice from above

but above the latter place there is a
quantity of anchor ice which may come
down and crash into the jam at Basin.
1t is reported that a jam has formed

the main land to the island has been
heavily weighted with rocks, as the
water is at present within foot of the
floor timbers. Men have been at work
all day saving the anchor ice which
has frozen around the bridge, so that in

Composition of the
Famous
CRAPE-NUTS
FOOD.

"A widespread interest has been ere
ated among good livers, as to the COM
position of Grape Nuts. the popular
food. 1t has long been known to ply
sicians, chemists and food experts.
that the starchy portion of entire
wheat flour and barley is transformed
into true and very choice sugar by
the act of intestinal digestion in the
human body. This sugar is identical
with, and is known as grape sugar. and
1t is in condition for immediate trans
formation into blood and the necessary
structure from which the delicate
nerve centers are built up.
A food expert of the Postum Cereal
Co, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich, followed
a line of experiments until he pro-
duced the food called Grape Nuts, Of
which grape sugar forms the principal
part. and it is produced by following
out Natures processes. in a mechani-
cal way. That is, heat, moisture and
time are the methods employed and
dill ected by scientific facts gained in
research.
Grape-Nuts are probably entitled to
the claim to be the most perfectly
adapted food for human needs now
extant. Certain it is that the users
delight in the flavor and the perfect
action of intestinal digestion during
the use of Grape Nuts is satisfying,
and the added strength of body con-
firms the facts.
