LOTS OF WORK FOR THE LIVER.
Manufacturer, scavenger, Filter Life
 Preserver and Closed Door.

Manufacturer, scavenger, Filter Life
 Preserver and Closed Door.
 The business of the liver is to manu- facure antidotes for poison. It is a rendering establishment to which the little corpses that accumulate in the body are carried to be destroyed. just as in cities dead animals are gathered up by a scavenger and converted into useful things.
 All the corpuscles of the body die every six weeks. Every second of our lives something like eighteen million of these red cells have to be disposed of, and the liver does part of the work of grinding them up and working them over into something useful.
 The redcorpusces have potash in them which is used for making bile. The bile is kind of lye for making soap in the small intestines. The soap, like all good home made soaps is disin- fectant; it is a splendid antiseptic and germicide
 The coloring matter is carefully saw ed out of these red cells, and sent back into the body to be used for dying the hair, tinting the skin and painting the dark chambers oaf the eye where the photographing is done.
 If the liver does not do this work as efficiently as it ought these little corp ses accumulate in the body. In other words, the body becomes a sepulchre and we carry about with us dead thing that should have been discharged from the body through the bowels, the kid neys, the skin and the lungs, and should have returned to dust again.
 The liver is closed door which keep poisons out of the rest of the body. The kidneys, skin and lungs are open doors to let the poisons escape from the body. When there comes such a flood upon the liver it cannot keep the door shut; it is forced open little way and lets the poisoning through in- to the blood
 Then the blood is not purified, the impurities go through and the body becomes filled with them. The brain comes confused, dull stupied, and the man feels bilious the poisons get in- to the muscles and he feels weary and worn out; they get into the nerves. and ne has sciatica or lumbago; the nerve centres get irritable and inefficient. and

there is nervous exhaIGstion and perz haps melancholia.
 All the food taken into the stomach is filtered by the liver before it is ah- sorhed. That is why one can, with ap- parent impuity, take such things as tea and coffee, whiskey, beer, tobacco. etc. All these impurities are passed through the liver before they get into the gen. eral circulation. If they should go straight to the brain the thinker would die shortly after taking his glass of whiskey.
 When the liver is plump and healthy full of glycogen made from the blood. It has a wonderful faculty of destroy Ing poisons; but starved liver cannot do this. That is why a glass of whis- Key taken before breakfast does a man twice as much harm as if taken after breakfast
 A dose of medicine taken on an empty stomach is much more powerful Tn It's effects than a similar dose taken when the stomach is full for the req son that a full stomach furnishes the liver with material which it makes use or to fight poisons.-sandersor' Maga- zine

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theater.
Sun.

A factor in the success of Lima Abar- banell, the former Metropolitan grand opera prima donna, in the new DeKo- ven- -Ranken-Stange romantic light opera "The Student King" which en- ioyed such 8 successful season-end run in Chicago last spring, was her evi- dent ability as ,an actress. It now ap- pears that there was good reason for this. Before coming to America last fall the little singer had been one of the favorite comediennes as well as opera singers of Germany.
 Though practically unknown to pro- vincial theatergoers, she scored suc- cessfully last season not only with the Conreid Opera company in "Humper- dinck's "Hansel and Gretel," but be- cafe a prime favorite at the Irving Place theater in New York, where she appeared in Spring Breezes,' Alt Heidelberg" and several of the suc- cessful comedies of that theater's cur rent season. Miss Abarbanell, while she has spent the greater portion of her artistic career in German speak ing countries is really of Portuguese birth. She is daughter of Paul Abarbanell, the well known Grand opera conductor of Berlin.
 She began her stage career at the age of six, being literally carried on the boards in arms, singing cradle songs. Her foreign engagements were in Berlin, Vienna, Brussels The Hague and other principal continental opera houses and theaters. Her prin- cipal successes abroad have been in The Gypsy Baron" "TheFledermaus, 2 Brothers strausinger" and as Or pheus in "The Underworld Her reper- toire in grand opera Is also extensive In Germany for a time she appeared in song recitals Illustrating well known types and characteristic ballads, and so pronounced and overwhelming was her success that she became known as the German Yvette GuiIbert. She has sung by special command before King Ed ward of England Emperor William of Germany, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, President Loubet of France and other members of the European nobility,
 Her engagement by Henry w Saw age ts undoubtedly feather in the cap of the New England impressario and a distinct loss to the Conried forces.
 ''The Student King" will be the att traction at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night.

INTERIOR IRRIGATION.
Statistics of the Drinking Habit &:
 Boiled Down.

Statistics of the Drinking Habit as
 Boiled Down.
 By systematic tippling the average man can irrigate himself to the extent Of 32 barrels of proof spirits (about 1000 gallons) before any of his friends are called upon to pay his funeral expenses. At the rate of 80 drinks to the gallon this would represent in the neighbor- hood of 16O,OOO drinks, which would weigh ten tons and contain enough al- cohol to run prohibition state like Maine about eight hours, or run an all cohol launch around the world.
 These are averages, mind you. Now and then man is found who has a greater capacity than the average. One Bellevue patient is still alive at fifty years. Since 1T years he has been intoxicated every other day of his life, and it is estimated that he has used enough ice the morning after to relieve the biggest ice famine that ever occur red in New England.
 These same statistics tell us that beer, steadily imbibed, will bring on tremens quite as effectively as whisky. though not so quickly, Six separate and distinct attacks of tremens are as many as an average drunkard can stand- After he has seen the biggest show on earth half a dozen times he cashes in his rain checks and is cart eG off to Potters' Field in the water wagon. Fifteen to nineteen years of steady drinking will produce six such visits to the Smithsonian Institution also premature extinction at the aver age age of 4S.
 That delirium tremens will evolve sEakes more often than other creatures is fallacious. Horses with seven legs elephants with fourteen trunks and six dress suit cases and birds with hair on them are more often seen than snakes.
 Chronic drunkards come more often from poorly nourished indoor workers than they do from the laboring classes. Drunkenness does not cause poverty as often as poverty causes drunkenness.
 The man who has abstained from al- coholic drinks until the age of 25 is not likely to become chronic drunkard. If he begins after that age the head he will get win be so inevitably sure and quick and recovery from excesses so slow that he will not have the moral courage to pursue the habit with much enthusiasm.
 But the only sure, safe ground for a man who Is courting success in life is total abstinence.
 The above figures constitute a re- markable commentary on the patience and long suffering of the human stomach. They also teach us that there comes a time in the life of every chronic alcoholic when the stomach will no longer take a joke "-Boston Post.

MEDAL OF HONOR ELECTIONS.
Patrick DeLary Elected Commander at
 Winsted.


 Winsted.
 Winsted, Sept. 25.-The Medal of Honor Legion put itself on record to- day as opposed to the movement to take from the war and navy depart ments the sole right to pass upon the cases of applicants who have been rec commended for a medal of honor. The legion resolved that the present way of award of medal is proper, and that to change it by giving the power to con- gress would lead to the introduction of political methods into the awards. The officers elected were as follows, the adjutant depositing one ballot in each case, all contests for places having been settled prior to this;
 Commander-Captain Patrick DeLary of Scranton, Pa
 Senior vice-commander-C Colonel Sam uel B. Horne, of Winsted.
 Junior vice-c commander = William Zach, who was gunners mate on the Maine.
 Chaplain-Rev. Dr. William Hubbell, of New York, he having received his medal for bravery in China.
 The other officers will be appointed later
 The new officers were placed in their chairs by General Q. O. Howard, U. S. A., retired
 A reception to the citizens of Winsted was given by the newly-elected officers of the legion, and this was followed by 8 banquet at which only delegates to the convention were present.
