Use Of A coholic Drinks.


The committee of nifty scientists which
has for ten years been studying the liquor
question has issued its fourth preliminary
report i'm two volumes, says Harper s.
Weekly. The following are the main con-
illusions drawn: Effects of moderate or
occasional use of alcoholic drinks differ
with individuals. age occupation ana eli
mate. With the majority of occasional
moderate drinkers no special effect upon
health seems to be observed by them
selves or their physicaus. In some cases
drinking is harmful in few ii is
thought to be beneficial. Eighty per. cent.
of the leading brain workers Of the United
States use alcoholic drinks occasionally
or regularly or il moderation. The use
of such drinks to stimulate mental effort
gives, on the whole, bad results EN en-
occasional or moderate use Is likely tn
be harmful to young persons. mainly he
cause of the DANGER of its leading to eN-
cess. Among diseased or intirmed people

taken. if at all with the last meal of
the day. Fine old whiskies' and fine
old brandies" are nearly as likely to pro-
duce Injurious effects as are the cheaper

In moderate quantities, beer, wine and
diluted whisky have a certain food value
but they are seldom used for food pur-
poses-rather for their effect on the brain
In large quantities. they are poison. Al
coholic drinks in moderate quantities may
be useful as restoratives in fatigue after
work is done, but they often produce de

Two of the three young bandits, sem
fenced to death at Chicago. have made
startling confessions, Peter Neidcrmeyer,
who is 23 years old, claims that he has
killed % men and wounded IL others. He
says innocent men are serving time in
penitentiaries for crimes which he com
mitted, and that there are rewards out
standing for him i'm different states
amounting to over $4,000. Young Marx
admits that he was one of the three men
who held up the Chicago n Northwest
ern express atTowerW near DE Kalb. This
was one of the most desperate crimes ever
committed in Chicago and had never
been fixed upon anyone. The railroad au-
thorities admitted loss of $l02, 000 but
Marx says the robbers obtained only
$4,000, the rest of the money being des-
troyed by the explosion of dynamite,
