STIrlULANTS AND NERVES.

THE canteen is defended by medi.
Il cal authorities and by leading
army officers. and opposed mainly by
people to whom temperance is mat
ter less OF scientific than of semirelig-
ious thought; and the army canteen
is the only national temperance issue
at present, although states and towns
are experimenting with various as
poets Of prohibition and license. We
have just been reading some Italian
statistics which undertake to show
that children with nervous diseases
are usually the issue Of parents who
drink. The statistican found that
thirty-nine per cent of the children
whom he examined were abnormal
nervously, fact which he attributed
in part to the stress OF modern life
but more especially to stimulants
taken by the parents, and among
stimulants primarily alcohol. Facts
as he remarks, are more eloquent thar
Demosthenes, and he il satisfied that
the facts connect drinking with the
nervous diseases which he deems pc
culiar to our times. Actually the evi
dence about the effects OF stimulants ir
moderation is still insufficient. Tha
drink is frightful evil nobody denies
Whether to the temperate nature
stimulants in general, coffee, tea, Ii
quor, tobacco, are good or evil, is fa
from proved. People living amid thu
city rush, in the center of excitement
apparently live as long as their relat.
ives in the country, and are ss llkel,
TO be healthy. Nervous diseases ma,
be less the product of modern haste
than the discovery OF modern science
We are all the time discovering new
diseases, and all the time the deatl
rate grows less. We live longer as w
understand more. While it is clear
therefore, that stimulants OF any kint
are dangerous, it is not clear tina
nervous diseases are more frequen
than they were before they we're dis
covered, and it is not clear that tn,
general excitement OF life is unhealthy

further deferred operations but Presi-

craft and diplomacy has done the very
