Alcohol VS.. Lonq life.

It is very easy to prove that the IN
fluence of alcohol, as of every other
poison. is to shorten life. Dr. Willard
Parker of New York shows from sta
tistcs that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages of
/ twenty-one and thirty, tifty-one intern
perate persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users is
| five hundred per cent greater thah
| that of temperate persons. These hS
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 necessary stimulus
a preventive of fevers. colds, consunrp-
ton, etc, and the assertion OF certain
chemists that it is a conservative
agent, preventing waste. and so pro-
longing life the distinguished Engllsh
actuary, Mr.. Nelson. has shown from
statistical data which cannot be gam
said. that while the temperate man
has at twenty years or age an aver
age chance of living foTty-four and
one-tifth years. the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one-hal1
years of life. At thirty years OF age
tho temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF lie,
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.

A Convincinq Test.

In the Far East the japanese have
won victories which have astonished
the world. They show themselves to
be more enduring, more resistant to
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 life,
which give toughness of fiber and en-
durance and immunity against infec-
tion, afford equal advantages in fight
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 pure. simple, natural diet.
The lawyer, the clergyman, the busi-
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 first
time. testing his metal by great con-
test with an army of civilized men.

RECIPES

Savory Soup-Cook half pint OF
small navy or soup beans in three
pints of water for two hours, adding
boiling water as needed. In sepa-
rate kettle place two small parsnips,
scraped and sliced, one good sized
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 soup-strain-
er. Return to the stove, simmer a
moment. and just before serving, stir
in slowly 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
neanut 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-
mato Juice; add salt, and beat for
five minutes. Pour into a granite
bowl and cover and steam for four or
five hours. Dry off in the oven. and
when cool, slip from the bowl.

Effects of Alcohol Upon Digestion.


Prof. Kochlakoff of St. Petersburg,
has experimental upon five healthy
persons, aged from twentyone to tWen-
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 lntiu-
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities Of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog. by passing 4 tube into the stom-
ach, one and one-fourth ounces of
alcohol. After five hours both dogs
were 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.
