FRYING-PAN DRUNKARDS.
Ctensil Cooks Food Poorly and Causes
the Eaters to Seek Relief
in Liquor

The distinction of drawing public at
tention to the fact that inefficient
cooking is one of the principal incen-
lives to drinking rests with Sir Will
liam Arson, parliamentary secretary
to the board of education, of London.
Sir William informed the students
of the Harris institute at Preston that
indigestion was produced by bad cook
ing and continued indigestion led to
drink
The relation of bad cooking to the
drink habit has, however, been long
known to medical men, as well as to
conductors of cookery classes. The
latter are doing admirable work on be-
half of temperance reform, and inquir-
les ELECTED the welcome assurance
that there is not a culinary student in
London who has not the physiological
and moral effects of bad cooking i'm
pressed upon her.
The officials of the national societys
Training School of Cookery in Black
friars road have expressed their con-
vtction that unskilled cooking is re-
sponsible for a vast amount of intern
perance in the poorer and middle
classes.
"A steady, Woodworking man." said
one of the principals, returns home
after trying day, feeling very hungry,
to meal that is terribly indigestible
But the half-famished man must eat
it or go hungry. Afterward he natu-
rally suffers, and, as countless in
stances prove. repairs to the nearest
public house for spirits to assuage his
pain. By repetition of the process he
acquires chronic indigestion, always
repeatedly flying to the only remedy
he knows"
The use, or rather the abuse, of the
frying pan is, according to another au-
thority, the origin of much alcoholic
indulgence by workingmen. The fry
ing pan, it appears. is the most popu-
lar culinary utensil with their wives
and most things prepared in a frying
pan are indigestible.

that was the piano that her mother had
given her on her wedding day She
would take her little tots and play on
the piano and s them, then they
would say their ntle prayers and go
to bed.
She came home one night and her
piano was gone. She knew what it
of her old home had been pawned by
her husband for drink. Her heart was
breaking, but the babies came and asked
her to sing. She put her arms around
them and tried to sing the best she could
without her piano. Somehow, the
whisky had not tasted as good that
night as usual. sometimes when
mixed with a womans tears it gets a
little bitter.) Her husband came home
not so drunk as usual AS he came
around the house he looked in at the
window and he saw the children in
their little nighties and his wife was
singing a lullaby song, then they
prayed, kneeling down beside her.
Each one asked God to bless them, to
bless mamma, then to bless papa and
help him to be good and to bring him
home sober. He slipped softly in and
kneeled down by his wifes side and
said: wife, if you'll forgive me,
will never do it again" She said:
TON, will you sign the pledge to-
night?" He said: Il will" They went
down together to a hall where John B.
Cough, the great temperance lecturer,
was giving lecture. Tom went up and
put his name down.

Cough. She said: 81 hoped | might

funeral to the poor and put nothing but
that little handkerchief on his casket.

Out IL Proved to BE Something He
Didn't Care TO Hold
Very Long.

An lndulgent mother OF the Tuxedo col
eny was travelling on local ram one day
IN company with her three year-oid son,
his nursemald, and copy Of a society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New 1ork Times. The son
was occupying the seat behind her with
ms attendant, who attempted every once
IN awhile to curb his restless and rebel
hous spirit by gentle denial of his lat
est whIm, but each time the mother no
tlcing only that some argument was in
progress, and without looking up from
her book, would remark: Let HIM have
it."
1he nursemaid thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally strong and rather venomous
looking wasp flew against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
to grasp II, and walled dejectedly when
ne was once more restrained by the watch
ful caretaker. Again the fond mother.
without raising her eyes, exclaimed:
oh, do let him have it!''
And the howl winch followed the
nurses compliance caused an amused
smile to pass around the car

PROGRESS OF REFORM.

Oscar H.. king of Sweden and Nor

temperance subjects TO discontinue
the christening of Dattleships with
wine
The blind pigs" in La Grange, ILL.,.
must go, say the citizens of the sub.
urb. They have asked the village
board to devise means of Kidding ths
town OF them.
The city marshal of Hoopeston, ILL.,
has been removed from Office because
OF insufficient activity shown in the
prosecutions for violations of liquor or
dinances.
The clergy of the state church Of
Sweden, assembled in national conven-
ton, unanimously petitioned the gov
eminent to stop the sale of beer at all
military establishments and camps.
God never compromises with any
wicked thing. His laws against evil
are all prohibitory. Satan is the au-
thor OF compromise; and when men
permit evil for a consideration it is
not difficult to tell whose side they
are on, or in whose interests they are
working.-National Advocate.

Texas. In 1901, SO counties had prohi-

have been added since. The San An
tonic Liquor Dealer declares that
prohibitionists will carry the entire

The tifty-sixth annual report of the
Pennsylvania commissioners on lunacy
shows that the increase of insanity
from intemperance is from 20.6 per
cent in 1900 to 21.1 per cent. in 1902.
The ratio of intemperance to any other
cause of insanity is given as five to
one. Isn't drink the great befuddler?

In proof of the allegation that drink
deceives, DR.. Louis Albert Banks says:
"The saloon is the spider and his web
IS the American life, and the over

Poverty Caused by Drink.

Upon the connection of poverty with
drink the statements are uncompro-
missing "A Wesleyan minister says
that in nearly every application to
their relief fund, the necessity was I'LL
timately traced to drink on the part
of man or wife, or both" "A Con-
gregationalist says that it is at the
root of all the poverty and distress
with which they come into contact;
drink has been the cause of leakage.
A Church of England vicar speaks of it
as the great trouble; the main cause
of all poverty In almost every ap-
plication for relief there is a history of
drink. '"-TemDerance

Lite's MUestment
BY REV. JENKIN LLOYD JONES,
Pastor of All Souls Church, Chicago.

Business, capital, investments. Those are
the three commanding words of our day and
place. If they are not written in letters of gold
in every mans counting they are stamped
in letters of iron in every mans and every
woman's Workshop They are words that can
not be dismissed or ignored. So to-day let us
accept them and interpret them, if possible, in
terms not only OF the life that now is, but of the
life eternal.
The world is a great market place into
which every one of us is carried by the chariot
of birth, with more or less capital to invest
This investment is subjected to the same ire
vocable laws of exchange as govern all other
