This department Is under the management

San English specialist carefully
noted twelve abstaining families and
twelve drinking families for twelve
years. The drinking families pro-
duced fifty-seven children, of whom
twenty-five died the first week;
three died of commissions, two were
idiots, five dwarfs, five epileptics,
one had chorea, five were deformed,
two became drunkards, and only ten
were normal.
"The twelve total abstaining fam
lilies produced sixty-one children, of
whom only six died the first week !;
four had durable diseases, two
showed inherited nervous defects,
and fifty were normal"
Consider well the death rate in
the drinking and the total abstain
ing families.
Careful estimates, both in Eu-
rope and America. indicate that
eighty-two per cent of the children
born Of drinking parents die before
they are two years oldp' Statistics
tell us that seventy per cent of the
outcaDt girls of this country are
born of drinking parents" also,
that every twenty-four hours there
are committed in the United States
twenty-eight murders and twenty
two suicides. The courts and other
sources tell US that the liquor traffic
is responsible for ninety per cent Of
crime committed in our country,
but putting it at the very conserva-
tive figure of seventy-five per cent,
in the light of the foregoing facts,
would ask every thinking man and
woman to weigh and consider" the
effect of alcohol and tobacco in their
relation TO infantile mortality, and
what part the legalized liquor traf-
tic plays in the blood curdling spec
tacle Of murder and suicide; also, the
fact that the legalized liquor traffic
is not the creature of woman, but of
man, the voter. Let them then ask
themselves the question, Is it just
to lay all responsibility of race
suicide" at the door of American
womanhood?

He would usually turn up fifteen min
utes before the appointed time for the

suit, and after some moments rapid
talk on any subject which came upper
most he would say:

fame upon Mr.. Roe and his Holstcin

days Aggie gave 62O.9J pounds of milk
and POST pounds Of butter fat, which
produced 34.32 pounds of butter. The
record for thirty days is 2,64O pounds

Winters Damage to Fruit.
The patho!osist of the department of
agriculture after studying the effects
of the winters low temperatures on
fruit trees in the eastern and New
England states reports that the damage
is probably not more than 10 to 20
per cent of trees killed. He thinks the
tendency is to overestimate the dam
age, as many orchards in which the
wood is darkened under the bark may
recover With proper care. Heavy prun-
ing is to be avoided.
Record For Oil Fuel Ship.
What ship can do with oil for fuel
is shown by the American steamship
Nebraskan, which arrived at New

the American Hawaiian Steamship
company. The distance was covered
in IL days I hours and q minutes,

this trip has been made without some

says the experiment was a success in
every way.
