Beer and canner.

Chicago Inter Ocean: DIR. Alfred
WOLFF SIS the result OF wide and care
Y study OF he statistics OF cancer In
Europe and America. reaches several
interesting conclusions.
!. He finds that cancer is most com
mon In thickly wooded and well wa
tered districts.
2. He discovery that all the districts
of high cancer mortality are those In
which be1s or cider is Largely drunk.
Bavaria, for Instance, shows the
highest cancer death rate in Germany,
and Salisbury In Austria. In France
there is the most marked contrast be-
tween the high cancer mortality IN the
beer drinking departments and the low
cancer death rate elsewhere. DR.. Wolff
also finds that the increased consump-
ton of beer In England OF late
been accompanied by a rising cam
Ger mortality,
9. Dr.. VOLTS researches indicate
3t-hatacaacer is contagious, and that race
and Ag5eredity have much less to do with
the disease than environment and hab-
Finariy. he concludes that the intern
perate use OF alcohol, and especially
of beer, is probably the chief cause Of
cancer He does not pretend to say
what III is insthe beer that conveys can
Ger Infection. That is q point for fur
1her investigation. Of course. It'll all
so possible to contend from Or. Wolff,s
facts that cancer is the product OF a
soil well shaded by forests and OF q
humid climate rather than of beer
drinking.
Out Of the three observed facts
which occur togetner-abundant woods
and wates.$eopious beer drinking and
prevalence of cancer-it is evidently
that the sliird may be thee eff.
iect Of BOTH or either Of the first two.
sNeXertheless, DIR. Wolff's researches
tend to reassure those who have feared
inheritance of cancer, for they give ev-
adeTsce that 1t is the ~producf#of envir-
eminent and habits rathersthan Of race

An Extra Pair of Lungs.

81 have known aged people, men past
eighty, to take their cold baths every
morning and be as spry as you please"
says Eugene Wood in Eyerybody's
Magazine. Zone old fellow used to
toddle down to the beach when he had
to wade bare legged through the snow
two or three blocks. 1t carried him off
at the last, though, for he died just
about four weeks before he was eighty
four. And if those Of low vitality who
ought to take the chill eff the bath
were to take 1t ice cold and rub them
selves like sixty afterward I don't think
their vitality would be low. l think
if they got their blood purified by prac.
tically adding another pair of lungs to
their outfit they would soon be as chip
per as anybody"

One Address Enough.

The clerk in the express Office was
just about to toss the package back of
the counter when he noticed that it
was addressed Oh both sides. Its
good l saw that. Charges might have
been collected twice. he said. That's
funny" remarked the shipper. 81 just
paid the charges, you know YES"
responded the clerk, land / marked it
paid, but the second address might
have caused them to collect nj the
other end. You see, l checked j off
paid on IL side, but when it re:s.hes
the other office it might be that the
prepaid mark would he on the bottom.
That would bring the other address
up, and, seeing no check mark there,
the receiving Office would mark it
collect and the party to whom it was
addressed would pay the second ex-
press charges "And | thought l was
doing something to expedite matters
in putting the address on both Sides"
commented the shipper.-Philadelphia

was driving along the street when he
encountered a funeral. A long line Of
coaches was behind the hearse, which
vas moving along at a lively rate. The
negro was superstitious and did not
want to cross between the carriages in
the funeral procession. He tried to
drive around in front of the hearse, but
could not make sufficient speed. After
driving alongside the hearse for two
blocks the negro called out to the driv-
err: "Say, boss, hold up an let me go
past. My passenger is in a hurry and
yours isn't"

SIOUX CITY HAS 100000 FIRE.
TWO Entire Blocks Go Out, Including
Three Banks.

TWO Entire Blocks Go Out, including
Three Banks.
Sioux City, Dec. IA fire which
1esait&d in the death OF IN man,
a monetary loss estimated at $4,000
00J and the destruction oil nearly two
entire blocks, started in the base
ment OF The Pelletier department
store, located at Fourth and jackson
streets, at s o'clock last night. The
district burned over lies in the center
of the business portion of the city
and among The buildings were several
of the most substantial structures in
the city. In these buildings were To-
Gated a number of large stores and
several wholesale establishments ana
three national banks. The fire started
in the basement OF the store, but its
origin is in doubt.
A large number of Christmas shop
pers crowded the Pelletier and other
stores and it was with difficulty that
all managed to escape from the burn
much of the building before the fire
department arrived and were quite be-
You'd control. For three hours and a
half, until they had gotten beyond
range of the large buildings, the
flames carried everything in their
path. Both telegraph companies were
put out of business by reason of their
wires all being burned out and the
office of the Western Union was de-
stroyed. Although a great number of
telephone circuits were within the
district, long distance circhits were
later established with outside points.
The fire was gotten under control
at 1880, with the assistance of sew
eral outside departments.
Among the buildings destroyed
were the following: The Massachu-
sets building, occupied by seven
large stores; the Toy building, a six
story stone block; the Commercial
block, Northwestern National bank,
the Leader hotel, at Third and
Pierce streets; the West hotel, a
large, new structure, at Third and
Nebraska streets; Higman & Skinner,
wholesale boots and shoes, and a
large number of small establishments.
When the flames had reached a point
near the Tribune building, facing
Pierce street, the firemen cqncen-
trated their efforts and managed to
prevent the destruction of that struct-
ure. although it was considerably
damaged.
A partial list of the losses follows:
Pelletier Dry Goods company, $780,
900, insurance 5000, 900; Orkin Bros,
furnishings, loss $4,000, insurance

The word "Blackmai1ing..

The word 'blackmailing," derived
from the Anglo-SaXon mai (taX) and
the old French "maille" "a coin of small
value), was originally applied to rents
paid in kind, in order to distinguish
them from payments made in silver or
white payments. About the six
teenth century it vas applied to money
paid as the price of protection from
~freebooters. This was declared illegal
by Elizabeth, but iourished in the
highlands of Scotland until after Gull
loden, in 1745.
"Blackmail" is mentioned in Arch
bishop Hamilton's Catechisme Q552).
One of the most picturesque LEVERS
Of blackmail was Rob Roy, who grew
famous in this connection about the
year 1870. In it's modern use black
mail is the eXtortion of money by
threat of public exposure.

No Case Of Pneumonia on Record.

We do not know of a single instance
where a cough or cold resulted in
pneumonia or consumption when Fo-
ley's Honey and Tar had been taken.
1t cures coughs and colds perfectly, so
do not take chances with some un-

tain opiates, which cause constipation,
