ETY. as regards his taxes. Two years
ago Mr., Henderson paid less than one
dollar in taxes on property in the city,
Soon thereafter he bought a lot for
about $4,000, which people say is
worth something like $4,000 now. He
built a pressed brick house Upon 1t,
but it seems It was not included In
this years assessment, It having not
been Completed at the time the assess
ment was made. However, the taxes
on the lot accounts for the increase
to about Sf1.O0 In taxes this year. An!
other question in this connection has
arisen In the minds of some people.
If Mr.. Henderson had money enough
two years ago to buy a $4,000 lot and
had enough this year to build a press.

Alcohol In Diabetes.
rom American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
Alcohol in diabetes is intimately bound up
with the food question. Plant psychologists
have about concluded that vegetable cells
cannot utilize sugar delivered to them In
the sap until they have first changed 1t into
alcohol. There is some evidence that this
is also the first step in the oxidation Of SUI
CARS by animal cells. Analyses OF freshly
killed animals invariably show traces OF al
cehol In the tissues. Should this prove to
be true. 1t would be rational to feed alco-
hol to diabetes during the period that
starches and sugars are withheld-indeed,
some therapeutists advise 1t on empiric
grounds or for the symptomatic treatment
OF the exhaustion. Unfortunately, 1t is
given In large doses, which have narcotic
effects. whereas 1t should be given in mi
mute doses highly diluted and very fire.
Quently, to initiate natures method Of de-
livering 1t to the cells In minute amounts
all the time. This method has been tried
with apparent benefit. and might tide the
organism over the period during which It
Is building up its nervous control over the
metabolism Of the sugars. 1t Is possibly
the only disease in which alcohol can ra-
tionaIiy be given as food. now that there
Is such q reaction against giving 1t In con-
ditiOns formerly considered essentially In
need OF alcohol It Is one way, at least, Of
saving the oxidation OF protefds at a time
when they are needed SO badly and likely
to be burned up.

Mr.. jeremiah oDonovan Rosa is lectur-
ing in Scotland at the present time. and his
lectures are being largely attended. His
iirst lecture In Glasgow was upon the SUBJ
ject Of ireland Forty Years Ago" under
the auspices Of Branch Erie Oge Of the Slim
Fein League. Mr.. O'Donovan Rosa IN his
address said that many Of the friends that
he made in Glasgow forty years ago he
found were dead. while many others were
living In America. They went over to Ire
land in 'e5 and 81 to fight. and although
there was no fight then they had the same
spirit still. and he must say that this spirit
had been kept up mainly by Irishmen who
had spent some Of their youthful days In
either England or Scotland In aliuding to
two addresses which had been presented to
him by two organizations in Tyrone one OF
which was the Land League. which expects
to get the freedom of Ireland by parla-

they may get it." He expressed 81 prefer

said that these sentiments were the sentt-
ments Of the Irish race the world over.
Prison Experiences
The lecturer dealt chiefly with his prison
experiences and the poetry he had composed
while undergoing Incarceration. He read an
extract from a book which he had obtained
from the library Of an Atlantic liner, in
which he was described as liar and
brutal ruffian and most intractable person.

The writer went on to say that 'f ever
