Important Decision
Lower insurance Rates to be
Given to Persons who do
not Drink Alcoholic
LIQUORS

By . recent decision Of one Of the larg.
est insurance companies of the United
States, lower rates are to be given those
persons who do not indulge in the use Of
any intoxicating liquors. This is just, for
statistics from all sources show that the
use Of alcoholic drinks always predis-
poses to kidney troubles, and Bright's
Disease, Diabetes and all other fatal kid
ney diseases are far more frequent among
drinkers Of beer and alcoholic beverages
than among those who do not indulge
In them.
In a recent address before the Senate Of
the United States, Hon. J. H. Gallinger,
Senator from New Hampshire, gave the
results Of most thorough investigations
made to ascertain the effects Of beer drink
ing upon the health and life Of individ-
uals. He showed conclusively that almost
all cases of Bright's Disease were caused
by beer drinking and that other fatal kid
ney troubles had the same origin as a rule.
As probably large majority of men
drink beer IL becomes g matter Of great
concern to know the best way of overcom-
ing its effects upon the kidneys. There is
nothing that will so quickly make the kid.

There are fisheries in North Carolina

The use of hloOdhOunds in tracking
persons has become so common, bas
ed upon the idea that in this regard
they are reliable, that our legislature
in 1901 authorized the county com
missiOGers to purchase them for the
use of the sheriffs in pursuit of GRIM
inals.
That this dog is not to he always
trusted in this particular seems 10 not
meet the approval Of some of the
courts. 1t is said OE him by the
supreme court of Nebraska in re-
cent opinion: 1.-The bio dhOunds has,
of course, a great reputation for sa-
gacity, aud there is a prevalent belief
that in the pursuit and discovery of
fugative criminals he is practically
infallible. IL is commonly accepted
notion that he will start from place
where crime has been committed,
follow tor miles the track upon which
he has oeen set, find the culprit, con
front him, and miTabile dictu, by
accusing bay aud mien declare, Thou
art the man.
This strange belief is with some
people apparently incorrijible. 1t is
a delusiOn which abundant actual
experience has failed to dissipate.
1t lives on from generation to gener-
alton. 1t has still the attractiveness
of a fresh creation. Time writes no
wrinkles on its brow! But it is never
theless a delusiOn-an evident and
obvious delusiOD.
The sleuthOund OF fiction is a mar
velOus dog, but we find nothing quite
like him in real life. The
path of every human being through
the world, at every step, from the
cradle TO the grave, is stTeWn with the
putrescent eXcretiOns of his body
After referring to the crossing and
paralelling tracks, etc, the judge says
"He always follows some scent and lie
goes somewhere. Undoubtedly nice
and delicate questions are time and
again presented to him for decision"
Not knowing the consideration that
caused the hound to adopt one con-
clusiOn rather than another, the court
held in that case (where the hound
had started II hours after the Offense,
and the trail mad been walked over,
etc, many times.during that time) the
conclusion of the dog was not cOmpe-
tent, and citizen should not be pun
ished for an alleged crime because,
"a certain dog indicated by his con-
duct, that he believed the scent Of
some microscopic particle supposed 10
have been dropped 10y the perpetratOr
of the crime WAS identical with, or
closely resem bled the scent of the
person who had been accused"
