ONLY CHANCE OF ESCAPE
FROM DRUNKENNESS

After a most interesting presentation OF
facts about drinking. delirium tremens,
and SO on. the American Magazine for
September holds out this single hope to
the drunkard
Chronic inebriety can be cured, IL II
has not already produced serious mental
or physical degeneration. But II is only
durable when the victim aids in the cure.
We can destroy the craving: we can make
IL as easy for the victim TO abstain as
IL he had never touched liquor. But II he
will not abstain OF his own free will. II
he Is too much OF a fool to realize That
he is better of sober than drunk. moth
ing will save him but confinement for
life. After recovery. his first drink must
be as deliberate as a boys first cigarette.
But with the first drink. or the first few
drinks, back comes the craving with its
old fury.
THE first requisite OF a cure is abso-
lutte restraint. There Is no home cure,
no magic powder 10 drop in the drunk
ards coffee Crowded he condescends to
cofYee). The cure Is a matter OF hygiene,
not OF medicine. II depends on wholesome
out door life and mental stimulus. on
time, more time and again. And while
these are working the inebriate must be
secluded In a well-guarded sanatarium or
colony. for nothing but physical restraint
will withstand the craving during the first
months OF abstinence.
First. there must be restoration for
the weakened body with it's need OF stim-
ulant: air. exercise, sleep, plenty OF good
food at frequent intervals. precaution
against fatigue or hunger. for every dis
comfort or depression tends at first to
reawaken the craving These will restore
physical trim. but I'm most cases they will
not suffice IL the mind is left I'm the irrita-
BILE, depressed state that demanded stim-
ulants and the will in the rusty lassitude
OF long Indulgence. The mental life Of
the victim must be made as vigorous as
his physical life. He must be Interested,
given a change OF surroundings kept ac-
tive and alert His initiative and ambi-
tion must be awakened. He INST
be encouraged TO think for him 4:
TO decide for himself; educated into re-
sponsibility and self-control. Change OF
scene, occupation and amusement will do
much OF this. The rest depends on the
personal equation. the ability and insight
OF the director OF the sanatarium, the
skill and care with which he diagnoses
and prescribes for the mental condition
OF each patient. and the interest, SYM
pathy and activity that he can evoke. He
is In the position Of a teacher. or rather
OF a head-master, as much as in that OF
physician"

TEST FOR SPURIOUS COINS.
Simple Method Disclosed by Juror
During Trial.

At this session of the central Grim
inal court there has been an excep-
t1onal number of charges of making
and uttering counterfeit coin, says the
London Tribune. At the conclusion
OF one of the eases the foreman of the
jury asked the authorities If they
would take suggestion from IL bust
ness men who during the year had
to deal with considerable sums in sill
yer coin.
There was a most simple test for
the detection of base coin. 1t was to
cut the mlled edge of a good coin
sharply against the milled edge of the
suspected coin. If the suspected coir
were spurious one the metal would
almost Immediately begin to shave
off. 1t was. he added, a test that
could be carried out anywhere, on the
top of a bus or in shop, and the
public ought to be acquainted with H.
After making personal test the
common sergeant said he quite agreed
with the sugg gtioh of the jury as to
the usefulness of the test and said 1t
ought to be made known.
