among the working classes a public
opinion favorable to abstinence.
ut surely would not be impossible
for one or more of the great trade so

them more favorable to abstainer
than to others; and, if this were done
as it has been done by some insur

rulers of such society in proceeding

Wasting Time on AlcohoI's Food
Value.


The London Lancet, the recognized
authority Of the medical profession,
in reviewing the work OF a commits
sion which has been experimenting
with alcohol in order to determine its
food value, says:
"The results of this investigation
have brought conviction to all except
those who do not understand the lsa-
ture Of evidence They have shown
that 6lcohol is a true food material
for in moderate doses not more than
two per cent leaves the body UNI
changed, the remainder being ulti-
mately oxidized into water and car
bOnic acid"
Well, one may ask, what Of 1t?
Suppose alcohol, in moderate doses, is
a food material; what has that to do
with the question whether man
should use or abstain from alcohol?
1t would seem to have some bearing
on the matter If there were no other
food but alcohol in all the world, and
If we had to use that or starve to
death. But there are plenty of other
foods that are harmless to mind or
body and alcohol is perfectly mnsccs-
sary.
There is no need to enlarge upon
the deleterious and generally disas-
trous effects Of alcohol. The Lancet
says that. for example, 1t increases
the secretion Of uric acid and impairs
the oxidatfve powers of the liver; but
that Is trihing with the subject.
OF the three hundred and odd vio-
lent deaths III Chicago just past, for

1t is safe to say that 80 per cent Of
the suicides, the homicidcs and the
fatal cases Of consumption and some
other diseases could be traced to
