of auditing the books and accounts
was done under the supervision of Mr..
E. A.. Richmond of the New York
Office. He was assisted throughout
by Mr.. Charles Franklin of the At
lanta office and at intervals by other
representatives of the company.
While the investigation was limited,
in its scope, by the commission, the
work done by this company was thor
ough and in every way satisfactory to
the commission.
The work done by these expert ae-
countants cost the dispensary COM
mission approximately $s, 900, but this
amount is more than Offset by the re-
coyeries. made by the commission as
a result of the discoveries of errors,
and .misapplication of funds which
they made. In other words, the
American Audit company more than
reimbursed the commission for the in
vestment made in their employment.
DR.. W. J. Murray, chairman of the
dispensary commission, is expecting
a supplementary report from the audi

That the State of South Carolina
lost thousands of dollars, and perhaps
hundreds Of thousands, in the man
sagement of the State idispensary,
through lack of system, through care
lessness, gross neglect and misappli-
cation Of funds, is revealed in the re-
port filed with the dispensary COM
mission by the American Audit COM
pany. While the revelations con-
tained in this report are within them
selves startling, the audit company
was limited in it's investigation Of the
assets and liabilities Of the dispensary
to live accounts only. They give it
as their judgment that if a complete
audit were made of the records of the
institution, the errors of omission and
commission brought to light by them
in the investigation just completed,
'simmense in themselves" would be
infinitely small as compared with
those covered up in the closed trans
actions of past years.
The minute book of the board of di-
rectors for the year 1905 Is missing
and other records which should have
been on file were no where to be found,
which made the task Of the expert ac-
countants very difficult. In numerous
instances it was found necessary to
call upon creditors of the dispensary
for duplicate invoices, etc, and to
rely. upon them to some extent for in
formation which should have been on
file if the affairs of the institution had
been conducted in legitimate, busi-
ness-like manner.
The report of the American Audit
company contains about 25O pages and
is handsomely gotten up. The wofk

Why 1t Healed.

A laboring man was brought to
a hospital with a badly lacerated
hand. Ar old cotton hook had
gone entirely through the palm,
carrying with it rust and dirt. AS
time passed on, the hand became
very much swollen, turned black,
and the surgeons feared that the
hand would have to be amputated.
AS the hand became no worse, the
surgeons delayed operating On it;
and after a time it began to mend,
and finally healed entirely.
"Young man." said the surgeon
to the patient as the danger was
passing away, "do you use alco-
hol in any form?" emo, sir" "Do
you use tobacco?" "No, sir"
With a waive of his hand and a
nod of his head, the surgeon said
"That is what has saved your
hand" Tissues de~generated by
stimuIants cannot resist the at
tack of accident and disease, as
can tissues that are formed only OF
wholesome and nutritious food

Not long since a New York
magistrate, Whitman by name, in
addressing the New York Lawyers
Club, was moved to make a most
scathing arraignment Of the liquor
traffic. He said: PERSONALLY, il
/ had the power, I would close
every saloon in the United States,
and / am not a crank or fanatic on
the liquor question. / drink my
self, whenever | care to, and prob
ably shall continue to do SO. !
am willing that every other man
shall have the same rights that
have. But when you sit on the
bench that | sit on and see seventy
per cent Of the cases which come
before you, and see the. misery,
distress and crime, all due to liquor
selling--I say, any man with red
blood in his veins Is likely to feel
that the world would be infinitely
better off II the liquor saloons
could DO crushed out, cost what II
may. I believe IL is the most
abominable, the most outrageous
and the most inhuman influence In
New York City to-day.

To The Juniors.

Growing boys and girls are al
ways hungry; they use up so much
material that the body is always
ready for more supplies OF food.
The wonder is that bread and but
ter, meat and potatoes, and the
buildings and other things that we
eat are changed into bone and
flesh, brain and sinew. Before
this can be done the food must
become part of the blood. We
break food into small pieces by
chewing it with the teeth; it is
then rolled into a little ball by the
tongue and passed into the gullet
and swallowed into the stomach.
The stomach is a pear shaped
bag, holding about two quarts.
AS soon as food reaches it, the
muscles of the stomach begin to
act. and this carries the food round
and round as if it were being
churned. At the same time, a
LIQUID called gastric juice is poured
out of the walls of the stomach
and mixes with the food, and this
causes it to become less and less
solid. This semi-liquid food now
passes into the bowels, which are
about twenty feet long, but SO
rolled up and folded away that
thew take but little room. The
food is there mixed with other
Juices, the result being that much
of it is rendered into a watery con-
dition. This liquid food soaks
through the inner skin that lines
the bowels, and finds it's way into
the blood vessels.
The food we eat thus passes into
the blood, and is conveyed to al
parts to renew and nourish the
body. This process is called d1-
pestion. 1t is not so much what
we eat, as what we digest, tha1
keeps us we'll and strong.
Many people honestly believe
that alcoholic drink helps diges'
ton, because it's use seems to give
them a relish for food. If we keeI
the body in good health, by proper
living, all wholesome food will
come to us with a relish, and we
shall not need these so-callec
stimulants to appetite.
The spur quickens the tired ano
faded horse. If the horse were
strong and fresh it would need NJ
spur. If the spur is frequently
used the horse gets accustomed tt
it and will not willingly work with
out it. Those who use stronl
drink are in a somewhat simila
case. They are always whipping
their tired and jaded stomach, anC
in time they feel that they canno
do without their accustomed wine
or beer.
1t is one of the properties OF al
cohol that it hardens and preserves
most kinds of animal and veget'
able substances. You will have
seen in museums many hundreds
of specimens preserved in alcohol
This property renders it unfit fol
the work of softening and digest
ing food.
An old philosopher once said
"If you wish to preserve a deae
body put it in alcohol, but if you
would kill a living body put alco'
hol into it," Alcohol also weak
ems the quality of the gastric juice
and in time inflames the inne.
coating of the stomach, and Sc
lessons its power of digesting food
