AT meeting of the ministers held
last Friday morning, after consulting
with representative members of the
churches, it was decided not to hold un-

conclusion was reached because it was
believed that the disturbance in. and
around the Park prevented the achieve

the closing of the churches.

Criminal Insane May Bo Msdo TO W"rA
A solution Of the problem which the
state sanitarium. In Its present over
crowded condition presents, is sug'
gested by Senator John T. Allen OF the
Twentieth Senatorial District. In which
the asylum Is located. and he Will m
troduce during the present session OF
the Legislature q bill seeking to en-
body his idea into law. Senator Al
lens suggestion is, simply stated. that
the criminally insane should be sent
to the prison farm, and there made to
work like other convicts. In the re-
port which the Trustees Of the asylum
have lust issued. complaint Is made
that the criminally insane class has
increased in a startling ratio recently,
and that they, the Trustees. are com.
PEELED to keep these with the other
insane. Senator Allen believes that
not only will his plan Of removing this
class to the prison farm relieve the
perplexing condition which now OBJ
tains ut the asylum. but will operate
to decrease the number Of pleas OF
insanity now entered In the courts.

The Reaults Of Drink. =.


OF late there has been q growing dis.
position on the part Of many to doubt the
extreme peril OF moderate" use OF in.
toxicatine liquors. Perhaps at no time
in recent years have the liquor interests
so readily found apparently reputable
physicians who, for suitable considcra.
ton. are willing to write commendatory
articles in praise Of thus or that beer or
whisky. Thus it has happened that. in
spite of the constantly accumulating evil
dcnce upon the other side OF the question.
not few people have come to believe that
the statements made by Temperance adj.
vocates are gross exaggerations.
Professor Forel speaks with authority
in the scientific discussion OF anything
that pertains to the mental machinery of
human beings. and his statement that a
dose of alcohol. so minute rs to equal
merely 4 glass of light wine or a mug Of
German beer, actually paralyzes impor-
tant brain functions, il statement to
which too much importance cannot be at.
tributcd. The public ought to know that
fact. Particularly it ought to be i'm.
pressed upon the minds of young people.
DR.. Helenius has made careful and
elaborate study OF highly important sta
tistics in his examination OF English hfs
insurance figures. We have called atten.
tion to the facts discussed more than
once, and not a great while ago presented
a somewhat elaborate article along similar
lines. The more complete study made
by DR.. Helenius is a valuable contribution
to the literature Of the subject.
The one fact that stands out in startling
clearness through every chapter is thai:
the total abstaincr has the assurance OF
longer life, other things being equal, not
only than tho drunkard and the hard
dr1nker, but than the most moderate OF
moderate drinkers. The oft exploded fake
statistics that attribute longer life to
drinking men than to apstainers, period.
ically sent out by the liquor interests and
published even il such reputable papers
as the Chicago Tribune, not very long
ago. are an impudent fraud. The most
elaborate and psinstaking observation
ever directed to the study Of the effect
of liquor drinking upon longevity deter
mines beyond question that drink kills
its users and that the man who does not
drink can, with almost absolute certainty,
expect to live longer than his ncighbor
WHO does drink.
In facts like these the very reputable
and constantly increasing circle OF physi.
clans who condemn the use Of alcohol,
even for medicinal purposes, will find i'm
portant collateral testimony. A drink
that is 30 uniformly pernicious TO health
certainly comes to US with poor recon-.
merdntion when we are in sickness.-The

Tn. Industrlous Danes.

The children Of Denmark are taught
IN knit when but FIVE years old. Even
In the public schools this is quite an
institution. although the private
schools made 1t an absolute rule. one
hour each day being given to that In

hone.life, one hour being devoted
daily either to sewing. knitting. croch-
citing, embroidery or lace making. Nor
Is this considered sufficient; the young

Warfare is one Of the conditions Of tho
Christian life. No man is doing his duty
to himself. his home, his church or his
country unless he is engaged in holy
warfare against every phase OF vice and
sin and seiishness. Christianity, in fact,
dies unless it is aggressive. II it exists
it must prompt enthusiasm. There arc
ghastly scenes which make God frown,
and good men weep; and as We realize
these, our Christian influence must be ex-
ercised to warn of peril and win from
danger. 4 special danger to which young
men away from home are exposed arises
from the loneliness Of their position. Here,
then. is an open field. No young man can
be faithful soldier Of Christ who takes
the fact easily that another young man
within TIE circle he can reach is lonely:
The lonely young man needs the grasp OF
a brothers hand. BE it yours to do the
good motherly. iatherly. brotherly act,
which takes that hard ~ yours, and says,
Come thou with us, and We will do thee
good. Dean OF Norwich.

Alcoholism Among Children.

Alcoholism deteriorates the race and
the descendants OF alcoholics are predis.
posed to madness, epilepsy and to all Of
the nervous ills. for. according to DR..
I.adame, of Geneva, two-thirds il not
three-fourths Of epileptics are the descend.
ants of alcoholics. Whatever may be
thought of these figures. it in certain that
alcoholism is frequently found in the
descendants OF epileptica or OF madTen.
and that it is most often manifested in
parents whose children are afflicted will,
mental debility; morbid obsessions and
Nightmares We have case in which
duced by congenital intoxication was
manifested in the child by dipsomania,
characterized by periodical and absolutely
irresistible need for alcoholic drinks. The
most intense desire seized the child in the
presence of wines or liquors. which was
not calmed until he had obtained that
which he desired. and here we have the
effect of hereditary transmission OF the
appctence for alcohol, which lead its VIC
tim 70 chronic alcoholism with all OF its
consequences.
According to Roubinovitch. a very good
idea is obtained of the hereditary conse.
quences Of alcohol on the nervous system
by considering the statistics of Demme.
Among ffty-seven children chosen at haz.
ard from len alcoholic families there ware
twelve idiots, FIVE cases of hydrocephalus.
five epileptics, two dipsomaniacs, and
eight normal children, these figures not
including twenty-five deaths which oc.
Cured in the first weeks of hfc.
As a corollary Of all these mental
heredo-alcoholic manifestations juvenile
or infantile criminahty increases more
and more among drinking families, and
in Switzerland onc-half OF the children
detained in houses Of correction are the
issue OF alcoholic parents. Alcoholism
from the milk of the mother is well.
demonstrated clinical reality. as the aico-
hol passes into the milk OF the nurse:
and many maladies and convu,sions oil
young children have no other cause ;!:&1
