Like Wormy Apples.

President David Starr Jordan, of
Leland Stanford university, after
many years experience, says: Boys
who smoke cigarettes are like wormy
apples. They drop long before harvest
time. They rarely make failures in
after life because they do not have
any after life. The boy who begins
smoking before his fifteenth year
never enters the life of the world.
When the other boys are taking hold
of the worlds work, he is concerned
with the sexton and undertaken"
Out of 412 boys examined by the
naval enlisting officer at Peoria, ILL.,,
only ia were accepted. OF the 29S re-
jections the greater number were on,
account of weak hearts, and in the
majority of cases this was caused by
cigarette smoking.

The use of cigarettes makes many
a boy a nervous wreck. The New
York and Brooklyn papers some time
ago told of young man who died at
st. Joseph's hospital in Brooklyn as a
victim of cigarettes. He was "a
chorister in one of the Brooklyn
churches" and was said to be in gen.
eral IAN exemplary young man" His
only marked faults were lying and
cigarette smoking When brought to
the hospital his fingers were yellow
with the cigarette poison. His suffer-
ings were excruciating. Just before
he died he said, pitifully: Il wish all
the boys who smoke cigarettes could
see me now"

STRONG TESTIMONY.
What Writers Have to Say About tho
Effect of Alcohol in Brain Work.

Enect OF ALCOHOL IN Brain WORN
The Literary Echo, a newspaper OF
Berlin, printed recently a symposium
signed by many of the most eminent
writers of poetry and prose in Ger
many on the question as to whether
or not alcohol is an inspiration to
creative literary and poetical work.
Some of the opinions are given as
follows:
Karl Henckell-I dare say a good
cognac has occasionally delivered me-
from an attack of stomach ache, but
it has never yet carried my lyric bal
loon into more rarefied air. For hab-
itual drunkards, total abstinence
seems the only cure, no matter wheth-
er the tippler is a grocer of a poet.
A. Schmitthenner-Whenever have
occasionally been induced to take al
cohol during the day, the result has
been that both the wish and ability
to work have invariably vanished. l
take no stimulants apart from a bot,
tie of light beer just before going to
bed.
Detlef Won Lilienacron - never
take alcohol before or during work.
l have observed that it interferes
with my working powers.
Fritz Lienhard-I take next to no
alcohol. | have no need and no de-
sire for it.
George Reiche-Alcohol may occa-
sionally inspire this or that idea, but,
real work is only hindered by it. 1
would not do away entirely with alco-
holic drinks, but the greatest modera-
ton should be practised.
F. Avenarius-Since | began seri-,
GUS work l have never taken alcohol
either before or while l am at work.
1t does not inspire the imagination
and it does paralyze the critical fac
ulty. Judging by personal expe-
rience and observation, alcohol is the
greatest stupetier in existence.
Dr. Karl Busse--I own with salts
faction that mine is a good German
throat, which | take care to moisten
every evening. l object to temper
ance principles, because they seem to
me to go hand in hand with certain
lack of temperament. 1t is nonsense
to try to force man physically and
morally sound to adopt methods re-
quired for invalids and those morally
weak.
Otto Julius Bierbaum-I have moth
ing to say against people raising
their spirits by the consumption of a
moderate quantity of alcohol. Should
do it myself if the consequences were
not fatal TO me. Unfortunately, alco-
hol-begotten hilarity does not make
my heart merry. but heavy, and has
the exact opposite effect of the feel
ing of exhilaration in rarefied noun
tain air or the sight of thing of
beauty, or the sound of good music,
or the fragrance of certain odors. The
smallest quantity of alcohol absolute
ly paralyzes me. Ii stupe6es my
brain.
