Now Old Tommy Hicks was as poor as

And rustled each month for the rent
But Thomas, though poor and unlettered
and old.
Had learned the great lesson of life:
When things came his way. he was
happy and glad
And lived there in peace with his wife
But when luck was bad and there wasn't
much work,
He whistled a livelier tune
No matter the season, when Thomas was
short,
The air that he piped was of June.

No matter how black are the clouds over

ALCOHOL A HANDICAP.
A Practical Test of the influence of
Alcohol on Wcrknen.

In recent lecture on The Physical
Effects of Alcohol in So-called Medi-
cinal Doses, widely published in medi-
cal circles, DR.. G. E. Benton, p. H. c.,
of Chester, Va, gave an interesting ac-
count of an experiment conducted by
Prof. krapelin, the eminent German
scientist and alcohol expert The ex-
pertinent aimed to determine the in
fuence of alcohol in a performance of
practical work involving mental pro-
cesses. One and a quarter ounces of al
cohol in the form of Greek wine were ad-
ministered to each of four typesetters.
The subjects were all accustomed to
the use Of beer but were required to
abstain during the experimental
period, and every detail was arranged
so the test was scientifically accurate
and simultaneously adapted to the
every day life of the men. with the one
exception of enforced abstinence. On
the second and fourth day each man
was given the one and One-quarter
ounces of alcohol IS minutes before
the regular working test began. The
results showed that there were no
more errors than usual, but the amount
Of work done with alcohol was Is per
cent. less than that done without it.
Commenting on the result ascertained,
DR.. Benton states Here We have
scientific demonstration of the effect
of an allowable medicinal dose Of alec
hol little less than the usual physiO-
logical limit, administered but once in
"a hours and reducing the output OF
labor involving mental process to the
extent of 10 per cent. All scientists
who are giving special attention to the
study of the alcohol question now are
arriving at much the same conclusions
as the result of their investigations.
All agree that very much harm may re-
suit from its use. The past promiscu-
Gus prescribing of alcohol by the medi-
cal profession must be considered as
the outgrowth of custom and routine,
rather than accurate knowledge or dis
erection. Therefore, it is evident that
the true knowledge of the action of
alcohol by physicians and the general
public will restrict its promiscuous
use TO a very large extent"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-10-17
ALCOHOLISM AND INSANITY.
The Latter Is a Direct Result of the
Former.

DR.. Savage recognizes that alcoholic
intemperance is a potent cause not
only of actual insanity, but also of
nervous weakness and instability both
in the individual and in his offspring.
Nevertheless, says London Hospital.
he argues the increase of insanity at
the present time certainly bears no
actual relationship to the consumption
of alcohol, for he feels no doubt that
the English people are far more TEN
perate than was formerly the case and
that improvement in this respect is
particularly marked in the lower and
middle classes. Hence the recogniz-
ed increase in insanity cannot be di-
rectly placed to the charge of alcohol.
Further, DR.. Savage remarks that
the large number of total abstainers
he sees in consulting practice has
sometimes made him wonder wheth-
er the complete and total change
from moderate Indulgence in alcohol
to total abstinence has been altogether
for the good-the mental good, / may
say-Of the race Such facts as
these show how complex and difficult
is the discussion of the whole sub
ject of alcohol and how necessary it
is that partisan eXaggeration and elo-
quence should be excluded from its
consideration.

Kiplinn,s Conversion.

1t is said that Budyard Kipling, the
great English literary genius, one time
believed in the inalienable right Of
the individual to exercise selfcontrol
and self+regulation on the liquor ques-
ton, but was converted 10 prohibition
by witnessing the leading of two
young girls to ruin through drink
after which he wrote as follows:
Then, recanting previous opinions,
became prohibitiOnist. Better it is
that a man should go without his
beer in public places and content him
self with swearing at the narrow
mindedness of the majority; better it
is to poison the inside with very vile
temperance drinks and to buy lager
furtively at back doors than to bring
temptationto lips of young fools such as
the four had seen. | understand now
why preachers rage against drink.

demand for beer helped directly to
send those two girls reeling down

| earnind to Swim.

Never waste time at first in attempt
iu% to learn to swim by means of the
breast stroke, the side stroke or any
other stroke Simply wade out to
where the water comes to your Shout
derS, lean forward, with arms extend
ed and with one toe on the bottom,
then suddenly throwing back both feet,
splash and kick as wildly as you like,
hand over hand and foot over foot
dog fashion, as the boys call it, BY
repeating this vigorous performance a
few times you will feel Il momentary
sense Of buoyancy beneath you. and as
your efforts are continued, making no
attempt to propel yourself forward, but
simply to keep your nose above water,
you will gradually come to the percep-
ton that old Neptune will hold you up
