Drunken Women in Ottawa.

lntemperance among women and
girl prisoners in Ottawa, the capital of
Canada, has increased to the alarm
ing extent of Is per cent. of all fe-
males. In many cases women of about
the age of 20 have been imprisoned for
drunkenness or crimes committed
while drunk. The attempts thus far to
check the evil have proved failures. In
view of the circumstances, the Can
adam government has been petitioned
to establish cottage homes in Ottawa
for inebriate women. The authority
for this account is the New York Med
ical Journal. But we need not go to
Canada for such a spectacle, for in
temperance among women increases
in all our large cities, and these dan
gerous drinking usages are creeping
into families which generation ago
were firmly total abstinence in their
principles.

CHARLES W. FULTON.
Elected United states Senator from

Charles w. Fulton won remark
able fight when he finally secured
the Oregon senatorship. The contest
was carried through the entire ses-
sion of the Legislature and was won
on the forty-fifth consecutive ballot,
taken just before the hour of ad-
journment at midnight. Politically,
Mr.. Fulton has been true blue, never

Victims of catarrh of the head, ca

DON'T BELIEVE IT.
Some Claims for Alcohol Which in
dhe Light of Fact and Expert
ence You Must Deny.

Arthur Stansfeld was a strange boy
in some respects. When any informa-
ton was given him that he could not
easily understand, he would reply:
81 don't believe it," If his father said
that the sun was a great ball of fire
over 100000 miles away, he would
reply: 81 don't believe it," and if
his mother reminded him that in Aus
tralia the sun shines when we in Eng
land are fast asleep in our beds, he
would shake his head, saying: Il don't
believe it." And so it was that he got
to be named Don't believe it," and
his want of belief caused much fun.
Now, there is no harm in seeking
to find out the truth of what we are
told; the child who reads to learn,
and seeks to find out the truth, is act
ing rightly, and will get good by so
doing.
Now, there are three reasons given
for the drinking of Intoxicating
drinks, about which l want you to be
very doubtful.
1. Don't believe that intoxicating
drinks will make you strong.
The strongest animals in the world
do not need Intoxicating drinks; the
lion, the tiger and the elephant are all
teetotalers.
There are millions of people in the
world who live long lives and do much
hard work without the use of intoxi-
eating drinks.
The chemist cannot find any food
substances in Intoxicating drinks such
as he can in milk upon which the body
can grow.
2. Don't believe that Intoxicating
drinks can make the body warm.
The body is kept warm by the burn
ing of carbon in the body, this carbon
being burnt up by The oxygen of the
air.
Fatty foods contain much of this
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-04-09

carbon; when they are burnt in the
body they give great warmth.
No intoxicating drink contains the
smallest quantity of fat.
Alcohol sends the blood into the
skin, and so lets the heat out of the
body.
Alcohol prevents the oxygen doing
its duty, thus the carbon in the blood
is not burnt up in the way it should be-
3. Don't believe that Intoxicating
drinks will help to digest food.
All food must become soft and liquid
Hike Cruel before it can become blood,
and so cause the boGy to grow, and be
fit to do it's work.
Alcohol softens those substances
which are not fit for food, such as
gum.
Alcohol hardens those substances
which are fit for food; bread, fruit,
meat, sugar, all become harder when
placed in alcohol.
There is no alcohol in any of the
foods God sends us, but there is plenty
of water. There is no alcohol in any
of the liquids which soften the food
of the body. The saliva in the mouth,
the gastric juice in the stomach, the
bile coming from the liver, and the
other digestive liquids are nearly all
water.
On these three points you may exer-
else your disbelief. Don't believe that
alcohol will make you strong, that ii
cen give you warmth, or that it can
help to digest your food. National Ad-
vocate.

candidates. His faithfulness has
endeared him to republicans all over
the state, ana there is not an equal
ly popular public man ia Oregon.
Charles w. Fulton was born in
Ohio August II, 1853. Later lie
moved to Iowa with his parents,
where he studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar. He came to Ore
gon in 1875, taught school for time,
later locating at Astoria, where he
has since resided and enjoyed lu-
crative law practice. He has been
elected to the state senate four
times, and was president of that
body in 1898 and 1907. He has been
a member of nearly every state con-
vention since 1880, and has been a
very active campaign orator on
many occasions.
