| iatioa 10 Commercial Efficiency" which
is expected 10 have far reaching AID
lasting results in the United Kingdom.
The conference dealt with tie drink
question. Lot on moral or hygienic
Grounds, but as matter affecting
financial results.
They did not consider the drunkard
Or even the moderate drinker. but
merely the average man who takes Il
little alcoholic liquor with his meals,
after the fashion of tie maio: portion
of the inhabitants of the British isles.
Every man who addressed the con
ference was of one opinion-that even
i single glass of beer, wine or spirits
taken at lunchtime was prejud.cial to
the best work of the man who drank
it. Each and all claimed that it pro
duced inertia. sleepiuess ard diSin-
clinatiOn for work and was therefore
TO greater or less extent destructive
| Of commercial efficiency.
The conference decided that alcohol,
if at all admissible as a beverage, was
only to be taken at the last meal of
the day and that even then the quaint
ty must be very moderate
Dr.. Able, who is recognized as an
expert in such matters, laid down the
rule that an adult in good health and
| of average strength should not exceed
two glasses of light wine or one pint
of beer or their equivalent in twenty
four hours.
That practically means that two
glasses Of claret or hook, or one glass
Of sherry or port, or two glasses of
| light beer, or one glass of ale, or half
a wineglass of liquor is the maximum
daily allowance.
Even this quantity, mind you, is
only to be taken after business hours.
| if at all. DR.. Able insists that the man
whose mental labor is heavy or whose
responsibility is great must use alco-
holic beverages only as reStorativeS if
he wishes to be at his best.
In other words, the recommendation
of this conference of business men, who
have found that the use of alcohol by
their employees is a subject serious
enough to warrant careful investiga-
ton, is simply this:
The man who hopes to makes a sue
cess in business of any kind and who
is anxious to do the best he possibly
can will act in his own interest if he
eschews alcohol at all times, but if
he insists on using it he must confine
his drinking TO the limit given above
and regard his business hours as alb
solutcly free from drink of any kind.

WHISKY AND DISEASE.
Alcohol Weakcns Resisting Forces
of the Body.

People who take alcohol prepare the
way for consumption. Alcohol is no
longer the great standby in the treat
ment of that disease. The same is true
il the treatment of many of the fevers,
typhoid, inflammation of the lungs,
cholera, diphtheria and the like. We
are protected against the ravages of
the disease destroying heterogeneous
in various ways-by healthy secretions,
such as the saliva, the gastric juice,
bile, and so on; by the scavenging cells
or white cells of the blood, and by GER
tain substances that i'll healthy people
are constantly being thrown into the
blood.
Alcohol by its peculiar action dis
turbs the digestive functions and thus
alters the secretions. 1t seems to have
the effect of paralyZing the scavenging
cells and also of interfering with the
formation in the blood and tissues of
the other protective substances men
toned, thus leaving our bodies open to
the attack of disease germs For these
reasons | WAS afraid of alc0hol-Pro-

WORDS MISUSED.
Dennturized, DenaturaIized or Dena-
tured-Nhich.

Since the grange has been so Ell
Enthusiastically interested in the remov-
al of the internal revenue tax from al
cohol in order that it may be used for
commercial purposes, for fuel, light
etc, there has been much use of the
descriptive adjective "denaturized"
But We have come to the conclusion
that there is no such word in the Eng
lish language. None of the standard
dictionaries gives it. There is no such
verb as "denaturiZe," but Webster's
International, the Century and the
STANDARD give "denaturalize" and de
Fature." Both words have the mean-
ing we have been trying to convey in
using the word "denaturiZe," as ap-
piled to the process by which it is
proposed to deprive alcohol of its nat
ural qualities, consequently either de
naturalZed' or "denatured" would be
correct But inasmuch as there is a
second meaning given for the word
''denaturalized" (as to deprive one Of
citizenship we prefer to I've "dena-
tured," and we shall use that term

A Prosperous Grange store.

There is no doubt about the fact that
the grange store, or Changers EX-

proposition. Last year the total sales
were $S5,065.22, and dividend of 30
per cent on the capital stock was de
clared. The par value of the shares of
this stock is $40, but recently ten
shares were sold at auction for $GS.5O

ment there.
