Alcohol VS.. Long Life.

It is very easy to prove that the IN
fuence of alcohol, as OF every otner
poison, is to shorten life. DR.. willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta-
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty, fifty-one lntem-
perate persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users Is
five hundred per cent greater tnah
that of temperate persons. These ng.
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 fevers, colds, consump-
ton, etc, and the assertion OF certain
chemists that it is conservative
agent. preventing waste, and so pro
longing life. the distinguished Engllsh
actuary, Mr.. Nelson, has shown from
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 ana
one-fifth years, the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one-halr
wears of life. At thirty years OF age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OIL me-
while the dram-drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand, the Rechabite
societies in England show STATISTICS
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive to
longevity.

Effects of Alcohol Upon Digestion.

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 enfeebling
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 infiu-
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog. by passing a 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.

en- and these problems faced, if our
duty is to be well done, remains essen
TALLY unchanged. We know that self
government is difficult. We know that
no people needs such high traits Of
character as that people which seeks
to govern it's affairs Alright through
the freely expressed will of the free
men who compose it. But we have
faith that we shall not prove false to
the memories of the men of the
mighty past. They did their work,
they left us the splendid heritage we
now enjoy. We in our turn have an
assured confidence that we shall be
able to leave this heritage unwasted
and enlarged to our children and our
children's children. To do so we must
show, not merely in great crises, but
in the everyday affairs of life, the
qualities of practical intelligence, of
courage, of hardihood and endurance,
and above all the power of devotion
to lofty ideal, which made great the
men who founded this republic in the
days of Washington, which made
great the men who preserved this
republic in the days of Abraham Lin
coin.

GAS WORKS STRIKE AT END.
Matters at Warsaw Seem Less
Threatening Just Now.

Warsaw, March G.-The new gov
ernor, General Maksimoff, is expect
ed to arrive Sunday for a three days
visit. He will take over the office
early in April.
The gas works strike has ended and
the workmen will return to their Ia
bors today, thus avoiding the danger
of the city being left in darkness
throughout Saturday night, when
outbreaks are most feared by the au-
thorities.
The gas company has granted a
nine-hour day.
The workmen's association of the
national democratic party has issued
an anti-revolutionary manifesto, de-
claring that only fools think of start
ing a revolution at the present mo-
ment, and says that the only result
would be the slaughter of innocent
workmen.
The authorities assert that they
have no fear of trouble today. They
say they have sufficient troops to
maintain order.

onion cut fine, two stalks OF celery
and half a can of tomatoes. Cover
well with boiling water and cook
until the vegetables are very tender;
then add the beans and press all
through a fine colander or soup4strain-
er. Return to the stove, simmer a
moment. and just before serving, stir
in slowly a cupful Of hot cream or
rich milk. A can of sweet corn may
be substituted for the beans. AS it
takes less time, and may be put in
with the other vegetables, it is some
times preferred by the housewife who
is her own cook.
Nut cheese.-Take one cup of raw
peanut butter, one-half cup of corn
starch. one cup of tomato juice, and
one teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve the
nut butter and cornstarch in the to-

A Convincing Test.

In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonlshed
the world. They show themselves to
be more enduring, more resistant 10
the effects of wounds, keener witted,
sharper in tactics, and quicker in exc
cution than their Russian antagonists
The Jap is content with a simple diet
of rice, peas or beans, which is quick
ly digested and converted into Drawn
and brains, while the Russian must
have his meat and his vodka.
The same dietary, the same Simple
ity and naturalness in habits OF Lire,
which give toughness of fiber and en-
durance and immunity against ln1ec-
ton, afford equal advantages In ngnt-
ing the battle of life in any direction
The brain worker who wants to Keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with un-
ceasing energy, must keep his blood
clean by a pure, simple, natural diet
The lawyer, the clergyman, the pusl-
ness man, the teacher, the investiga-
tor. the inventor, will find the same
advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier, who is, for the nrst
time, testing his metal by great COLI
test with an army of civilized men.

in our words but in our deeds that
we are earnestly DESTROYS of secur-

them in a spirit of just and generous
recognition of all their rights. But
justice and generosity in nation, as
in an individual, count most when

we think it is right and not because
we are afraid. No weak nation that
acts manfully and justly should ever
have cause to fear us. and no strong
power should ever be able to single

After taking the oath Of office dur
ing the inauguration ceremonies at
Washington March 4, President Roose,
welt 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 Giver OF
Good, who has blessed us with the
conditions which have enabled us to
achieve so large measure or we'll
being and of happiness. To us as
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
ou1 existence against any alien race;
and yet our life has called for the
vigor and effort without which the
manlier and harder virtues wither
away. Under such conditions it
would be our own fault If 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
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 great ma
ton, forced by the fact of its great
ness into relations with the other ma
tons of the earth; and we must be-
have as beseems people with such
responsibilities. Toward all other
nations, large and small, our attitude

fury and a quarter Of its national life
is inevitably accompanied by like
growth in the problems which are
ever before every nation that rises
to greatness. Power invariably means
both responsibility and danger. Our
forefathors faced certain perils' which
we have outgrown. We now face 9TH
err perils the very existence of which
it 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 continent
under the forms of democratic re-
public. The conditions which have
told for our marvellous material we'll
being, which have developed to very
high degree our energy, self-reliance,
and individual initiative, have also
brought the care and anxiety INSOFAR
able from the accumulation OF great
wealth in industrial centers. upon
the success of our experiment much
depends; not only as regards our own
welfare, but as regards the welfare OF
mankind. If we fail, the cause OF free
self-government throughout the world
will rock to it's foundations; and
therefore our responsibility is heavy,
to ourselves, to the world as 1t is to-
day, and to the generations yet I'M
born. There is no good reason why
we should fear the future, but
there is every reason why we
should face it seriously, neither
hiding from ourselves the gravity OF
the problems before us nor rearing
tc approach these problems with the
unbending, unflinching purpose to
solve them Alright.
Yet, after all, though the problems
are new, though the tasks set De1ore
us differ from the tasks set before
our fathers who founded and pre-
served this republic, the spirit IN
which these tasks must be undertake

Doino Great Work.

Ward, Ark, March 6th.-(Special)
From all over the West reports
come of -cures of different forms of
Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this place is not without
evidence of the great work the Great
American Kidney Remedy is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. j. v.
Waggoner, a well known citizen, who,
in an interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done wonders for me. My
kidneys and bladder were badly out
of order. l used many medicines, but
got nothing to cure me till l tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Two boxes OF
them fixed me up so that have been
we'll ever since.
Tell the poor kidney and bladder
diseased people to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and get well"
No case Of kidney complaint is too
far gone for Dodds Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has ever cured Bright's Disease.

der that the bond issue might be
strengthened.
The anti-pass bill came up in the
house and was put over until the
house had considered the appropria-
ton bills. Mr. Pringle insisted that
the bill be considered, and talkfest
followed. Mr. Pringle said that the
anti-pass bill was absolutely neces-
sary; that it was an evil which af-
fected everyone in the state. 1t was

On motion of Mr.. Bird of Shawnee,
the bill requiring owners OF land

visions. The enacting clause was
stricken out.
