Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.

Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather.
When the skin is warm it is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become whittier in
color. This is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels of the skin. The
amount of blood passing through the
skin is decreased, and the amount of
heat thrown off into the cold air is
likewise decreased. If a glass of wine
or brandy is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation of warmth pro-
duced is delusive. The victim i'm
AGNES himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
a great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin. The
result is an enormous loss of heat to
the inside of the body.
DR.. Parkes, the eminent English
sanitarian, says: "All observers con-
denim the use of spirits, and even Of
wine or beer, as a preventive against
cold" The names of DR.. King. DR..
Kane, Capt. Kennedy and DR.. Hayes
may also be cited as holding to this
opinion. In the last expedition in
search of Sir John Franklin the whole
crew were teetotalers.
Prof. Miller states that the Russian
military authorities 'interdict its use
absolutely in the army when troops
are about to move under extreme
cold. part of the duty of the corporals
being to smell carefully the breath Of
each man on the morning parade, and
to turn back from the march those
who have INDUCED in spirits, it having
been found that such men are Pc
culiarly subject to be frostbitten and
otherwise injured"
DR.. Carpenter is authority for the
statement that the Hudson Bay COM
pany has, for many years, entirely ex-
cluded spirits from the fur countries
of the north, over which they have
exclusive control ito the great i'm
provement," as Sir John Richardson
observed, "of the health and morals
of their Canadian servants and of the
Indian tribes"

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond
question that pulmonary tuberculosis
or consumption of the lungs is both a
preventable and durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abrasions of the skin, through
the mucous membrane of the mouth
or the intestines and through the
found in the sputum of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk of
animals suffering from the disease.
The germs are found nearly every
where. These germs cannot live in
the tissues of thoroughly healthy
person, as the cells of the body are
capable of destroying the germs, but
when the body is weakened by indi-
gestion, by the habits of breathing
foul or bad air, by anything which i'm
pairs the health, the tissues lose their
power to destroy germs so that when
they enter the body they find lodge
ment, grow and develop and tubercu-
losis of the lungs, bowels or of some
other part is the result.
Statistics show that at least 100000
persons die OF this disease in this
country annually. Four or five times
that number of persons are sick all
the time with this disease. Tubercu-
losis kills more than any other NAL
ady. Experience has shown that the
disease is not incurable, as has been
generally supposed, but is very cur
able malady if taken in time, and if
the right treatment is applied. Not
less than one hundred thousand lives
could be saved every year by the APP
plication of proper means for prevent
ing and curing this terrible disease.

Electric Cigar Lighters.

Electricity is lighting houses not
only, but cigars as well. An ingenious
electric cigar lighter consists OF
metal box, perforated and mounted
upon q standard and supplied with
110-volt continuous current from the
lighting mains. Inside the box are
two carbon pencils which are brought
in contact by the depression OF
thumb piece or button on the out
side, and then separated by spring
mechanism which holds the carbons
just far enough apart for an arc to
be formed. BY inserting cigar in an
orifice in the front its unlighted end
becomes ignited by contact with the
arc, the whole operation taking scarce
ly five seconds and costing 10 cents
per kilowatt hour. In other words, 500
cigars may be lighted for about one
penny. Taking into account interest
and depreciation, the new lighter will
scarcely be a formidable rival of the
safety match.

fire, in consequence of the confusion
attending the release of the animals.
The lock is worked by the pull of
lever. 1t can be placed in any part
of the stable that will best answer its
purpose. There is one lock In each
stable, which is connected by piping
running through the same, from one
part of the stable to the other. The
serviceable part of this lock is that it
can be utilized Independently, for
daily use, leaving the main lock to be
used only in case of emergency.

What the commoner Says

George w. Berge, of Lincoln, editor and pub
Usher of the Nebraska Independent and fusion
candidate for governor in 1904, has published
book entitled "The Free Pass Bribery System"
The book contains editorials from the Independent
and extracts from speeches and letters by Mr..
Berge during the past two or three years. Mr..
Berge deals with the pass bribery evil in plain
language, and points out with unerrng precision
the evils that follow In the train OF this form OF
political corruption. He Is not content with
showing how politics is corrupted, but shows be-
yond disput, the demoralizing effect upon the
great masses of the people, Railroad methods
exposed in scathing terms
Mr.. Berge made his campaign for governor
upon the railroad pass issue and the fact that he
ran many thousands ahead OF his ticket shows
in measure the deep interest the people OF Ne
braska are taking in this phase Of the railroad
problem. 1.-THE Free Pass Bribery System is a
valuable contribution to current political discus
sion and should have wide circulation among
those who are interested in making the railroads
the servants, rather than the masters, OF the
people.
