Effects Of Alcohol Upon Digestion.

EffectS or RlCoNoi oPo' D'sSa''o"'
Prof. Kochlakoff of st. Petersburg,
has experimental upon five healthy
persons, aged from twenty-one to TWEEN
ty.four years, with reference to the
effects of alcohol upon digestion. Ten
minutes before each meal, each person
was given about three ounces of alco-
holic liquor, containing from five to
fifty per cent Of alcohol, which is
about the proportion found in ordinary
liquors. The following results were
obtained.
Under the influence Of alcohol the
quantity Of hydrochloric acid, as well
as the digestive power of the gastric
Juice, Is diminished. This enfeebllng
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use OF
alcohol
DR.. Figg of Edinburgh made the fol-
lowing experiments to test the infu'
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog, by passing tube into the stom-
ach, one and onefourth ounces OF
alcohol. After five hours both dogs
we're killed and examined, The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely,
whereas digestion had scarcely begun
in the animal to which, alcohol had
been administered.

Alcohol VS.. Lonq Life.

It is very easy to prove that the IN
aueuce Of alcohoL as Of every other
poison, is to shorten life. DR., Willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta
t;stics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty, ffty'one lntem'
perate persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users Is
five hundred per cent greater lhan
that of temperate persons THESE hg'
ures are based on the tables used
by life insurance companies.
Notwithstanding the constant pro-
test Of both moderate and immoderate
drinkers, that alcohol does not harm
them, that it is a necessary stimulus
a preventive of feyers, colds, consump'
ton, etc., and the assertion of certain
chemists that it Is a conservative
agent, preventing waste, and SO pro-
longing life, the distinguished English
actuary, Mr.. Nelson, has shown IRON
statistical data which cannot be gain
said, that while the temperate man
has at twenty years Of age an aver
age chance Of living forty-four and
one-ffth years, the drinking man mas
a prospect Of only fifteen and one-halr
years of life. At thirty years OF age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF llfe,
while the dram.drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand, the Rechablte
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence

, tllry and a quarter of its national life

growth in the problems which are
ever before every nation that rises
to greatness. Power invariably means
both responsibility and danger. Our
forefathers faced certain periIs which
we have outgrown. We now face 9TH
er perils the very existence Of which
1t was impossible that they should
foresee. Modern life is both complex
and intense, and the tremendous
changes wrought by the extraordinary
industrial developments of the last
half century are felt in every fiber of
our social and political being. Never
before have men tried so vast and for.
midable an experiment as that of ad-
ministering the affairs of a continent

therefore our responsibility is heavy,

Washington March 4, President Roose
vet delivered the following speech:
My Fellow Citizens.
No people on earth have more
cause to be thankful than ours, and
this is said reverently, in no spirit
Of boastfulness in our own strength,
but with gratitude to the Glver Of
Good, who has blessed us with the
conditions which have enabled us to
achieve SO large measure Of we'll
being and of happiness. To lis as a
people it has been granted to lay the
foundations of our national life in
new continent We are the heirs of
the ages, and yet we have had to
pay few of the penalties which in old
countries are eXacted by the dead
hand of a bygone civilization. We
have not been obliged to fight for
our existence against any alien race;
and yet our life has called for the
yigor and effort without which the
manlier and harder virtues wither
away. Under such conditions it
would be our own fault il we failed;
and the success which we have had
in the past, the success which we con-
fidently believe the future will bring,
should cause in us no feeling Of vain
glory, but rather a deep and abiding
realization Of all which life has Of
fered us; a full acknowledgment of
the responsibility which is ours; and
a fixed determination to show that |
under a free government a mighty |
people can thrive best, alike as re-
CARDS the things of the body and the
things of the soul.
Much has been given to us, and
much will rightfully be expected from
us. We have duties to others and
duties to ourselves; and We can shirk
neither. We have become a great ma
ion, forced by the fact Of its great
Tess into relations with the other ma
ions of the earth; and we must be-
lave as beseems people with such
responsibilities. Toward all other
lations, large and small, our attitude !

is the only safe way to be reasonably

In our variety tests, we have found
that the best varieties originated
and grown in the Northern and
Northwestern States, when shipped
to us and incorporated in our tests,
generally give much smaller yields
than our best local varieties, al
though the seed from the West and
North were secured through the most

CORN GROWING TALKS.

J-Important Deductions from Field
Tests by the Department of Agricul-
ture.
RYc.B. WILLIAMS AND B. W. KILGoRE.
of the N. C. Department of Agriculture
1t will probably not be out of place
TO give, at this time, series of short
articles on corn and cotton growing
from data drawn principally from our
experimental work in the field with
these staple crops.
During the past four years on the
Test Farms of the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture compara-
tive field tests have been made with
forty-eight varieties of corn. The
number of varieties in the different
tests have ranged all the way from
eight in 1900 to twenty-nine in 1904.
The different tests of varieties at the
several farms were grown as nearly
under the same conditions of soil,
fertilization and cultivation as it was
possible to provide. To eliminate
all inequalities in the character of
the land, if any, the varieties at the
different farms were planted each In
separate rows, arranged consecutive
ly, and this plan was repeated from
three to five times, varying with the
length of the rows, in order to give
the desired acreage to each variety.
As the soil plays such an important
part in the comparative yields of
different varieties of not only corn,
but all agricultural crops, it is deem
ed not. unwise at this point to give
a brief description of the soils of the
different Test Farms on which the
variety tests of corn and cotton were
made, as it is thought that this
description will aid farmers in apply
ing the results to their different soils
in a more intelligent manner.
Test Farms Of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The soil of the Edgecombe farm,
located in Edgecombe County, con-
sists principally of sandy loan, with
moderately fine sand, underlaid by a
rather tenacious sandy clay subsol
at depth, generally, of from eight
to twelve inches. The subsoil is
moderately retentive clay, such as is
found under the larger portion of
the lands of the Eastern part of the
State. This type of soil responds
very readily in renumerative crors
to proper fertilization and cultiva-
ton and represents a large and i'm
portant part of the coastal plain re-
glon which comprises something like
~ per cent of the total area of the
State. This farm has some over two
