SCIENTIFIC
TEMPERANCE
LECTURES.

DIR. +. O. Taylor. of Boston.
delivered five lectures in our city,
beginning on Thursday evening
and closing Sunday evening. This
is evidently the finest series of
temperance lectures ever delivered
in our city. He considered tenn
perance from scientific stand
point. The results of scientific
investigation were forcibly declar-
ed. He told what alcohol is. how
obtained, fits effect upon all forms
of vegetable, animal anu
man.
In the presence of the audience
he analysed beer. extracted the
alcohol and burned it. He also
extracted the alcohol from the
patent medicine Peruna (which is
largely used is some places as a
substitute for whiskey) and burn
ed it.
He putt powder in 4 metal dishes
and saturated one with alcohol,
Bourbon whiskey. lemon extract
and jamaica ginger. They burned
and exploded in following order:
extract, ginger, alcohol. Powder
thus saturated will not explode if
the liquid has in it less than 80
per cent. of pure alcohol. The
Bourbon whiskey having less than
80 per cent. of alcohol burned but
there was no explosion. The lect-
urer declared that alcohol is a poi
sonous drug in the same classifica-
ton with morphine, opium and
cocaine, that it has no element of
food in it and is in no sense a
stimulant.
He predicts that the time will
soon come when alcohol will not
be used in liquids for beverage
purposes. He said that lemon ex-
tract so much used for fiavoring
is 80 per cent. alcohol. He told
of great advance in scientific study
of alcohol and its effect on the
brain and body of man; he told of
the drug as an incentive to crime,
as it effects the different faculties
of the mind.
School text books in every State
and territory and District of Co
lumbia now are telling of alcohol
and its destructive work. At the
closing lecture on Sunday evening
he was introduced by Chief Justice
Ed. G. O'Rear. The Judge is an
ardent advocate of temperance re-
form. He declared that the liquor
problem is the most stupendous
that confronts the American peo-
pie.
1t is encouraging to know that
as able jurist and prominent
politician as he has courage to
denounce the liquor traffic.
The expense for these lectures
was met by voluntary offerings.
On Sunday afternoon nine men
contributed So each. An aggre-
gate of 800 was given.

buy pooled tobacco so long AS it
may be kept within the pool is

the organization become the bene-

CANDY TO CURE FATIGUE.

If you get that tired feeling, eat a
pound of candy or take dose of cook
ing soda. This is what Prof. F. S. Lee
advised in lecture at the American
Museum of Natural History.
Professor Lee said that there were
three acids in the blood, which caused or
influenced fatigue. He was sure of it,
because he had taken those acids and
injected them into the muscles of a frog,
and those acidized muscles had tired
much more rapidly than the normal
muscles. He also said there was anoth-
er acid which was conspicuous by its
absence. He was quite positive, how
ever, that sugar or candy can help out
this difficulty, and possibly cooking soda.
when one is very tired" he said "a
quantity of candy will, half an hour
after eating, often make one feel very
energetic.
Another candidate for notoriety has
appeared on the scene, who says that
quantities of alcohol are injected into
the ingredients for making candy, and
that women candy fends of the city
have thus unconsciously had the habit
fastened upon them. This, if true,
accounts for the stimulation cited by
Prof. Lee.

IRVINGTON, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20 1907

far as the Democrats are concerned
The years that the party has been out OF
power in those states where by politica
custom the next nominee must come
from and have prevented Democratic
leaders there from being before the
people in a capacity that might per-
NIT them to be judged. Most of them
are only known locally, while the few
who were dominant prior to 1896 are
now either too old to assume the reins
of leadership or have been forgotten
The campaign of 1904 must have taught
the lesson that it takes more than five
months to induce the mass of voters
to take up candidate. More than
this, that his condidacy must stand for
an issue in the making of which has
played dominant part. The question
a year and half from the next Nat
ional Convention is what Democrat of
New York, New Jersey, Indiana or
other state where the candidate must
come from will seek to lead the party
back to the safer channels of conser-
vatlsm, with definite policy, so that
when the next National Campaign is
fought the masses will look upon the
Democracy as safe enough to earn their
support.

COMFORT FOR THE STRICKEN.

The Washington Post recently repro
duced large portion of an able SER
mon preached in that city by Rev. DR..
Knott, pastor of the NJ. Z. Church.
South, Covingt ton, Va.
His sermon was preached from the
text, 'Whom the Lord loveth He chas-
teneth"-Hebrews xii. He said in
part;
"This text is true if God is good. In
stead of looking at corrections in the
light of disaster, we must upon reflec-
ton, see that what we highly regard
we take special pains to train, cultivate,
criticise.
''To infer that God only loves some
people, and therefore, corrects only
such, is to make Goddess magnanimous
than man, for man is required to love
those who do not love him. God cor
rects all who place themselves in His
hands. He makes all things work to-
gether for good to those who are obed-
lent to those laws He has established.
ITO chasten is to make chaste, or to
purify. A man has chaste style who
criticises himself till he removes all ex-
cresences, redundancies and superluities
from his pages. God would have us
thoroughly cultured spiritually, and
hence is kind, yet unsparing critic.
as he scrutinizes our lives.
'ln Gods Christening He allows some
to bear the sorrows of others. A second
sort of Christening is that divine inter-
ference with our plans, which occasion
some of the sharpest pangs of life.
MAN must meet his sin in this world
orin the next. This is the law of the
universe. The man who meets the
consequences here, need not fear the
hereafter; he who escapes his punish
ment here has all to fear hereafter.
This is the best and most rational def
milton of hell. The sins of a man must
be met"
