TEMPER ANCE
TOPICS.


Men who believe that an alcoholic
stimnlanf taken In moderation Is
practically harmless and that II is a
necessity due to the rapid pace Of
modern life. especially In great
cities. will get little comfort from
what Dr. Edward c. Spitzka. a rec
ognized authority on nervous dis
eases. says.
In fact. he adds his testimony to
that OF other physicians. who agree
that the man who occasionally In
duiges himself In drinking to ex-
cess is far less liable TO the Injurious
effects Of alcohol than the habitual
steady drinker.
No drop OF alcohol ever did any'
real good, be says. except in cases
OF emergency and disease, and then
only temporarily. The statements to
the contrary are absurd and mislead-
ing and are responsible, / believe,
for much of the drinking that is be-
ing done. A man Is absolutely de-
luding himself who believes that he
needs a stimulant OF this nature and
that the craving for il is call of
nature and consequently that, nature
being infallible. his system must
need the stimulant.
The reverse IS true. The fact is
that steady drinking IS much more
Injurious to the brain worker than to
the man who depends upon his mus
cles for his living. The brain work
er's nerves have already been pois-
oned by the poison of WEAKNESS. and
the alcoholic stimulant then has a
more injurious effect than in the
case of man who is merely physi-
cally tired.
ut is the result of my experience
that steady drinking. too. IS far more
injurious to most constitutions than
occasional excessive drinking sepa-
rated by periods of abstinence or
moderation. Another sure thing IS
that the steady drinker who opens his
day with cocktail, who drinks Oh
an empty stomach, is at great dis
advantage in the race of life with the
man of reasonable habits Che
changes In the liver and kidneys, SO
often fatal, and of brain membranes
are rather found in the cases OF
steady drinkers than among those
who occasionally indulge in excuses.
'One of the particularly disas-
trous features of steady drinking Is
that the man addicted to it becomes
in time unable TO take the same
amount of alcohol into his system
without suffering disproportionately
therefor. This is the kind of patient
who may appear to be suffering from
delirium after having taken only a
few drinks, but the delirium is not
really due to the amount of liquor he
has taken, but, In fact, because of
the brain changes which have al
ready occurred In consequence of his
previous drinking.
From the time that the brain be-
comes thus affected the consequences
of even moderate drinking are COM
parable to an avalanche which gains
in its power for harm as It rushes
onward

pulnue Drinlxing IN Mexico.

1t is obvious, says a writer in the
American Issue, that the City of
Mexico has a very serious liquor
problem, whether 1t is conscious Of
the fact or not Pulque, the national
drink, is consumed there in enormous
quantities, and the effect on the in
habitants is deplorable. The. writer
calls this liquor the curse of the
country. The working people. he
says, spend the larger part Of their
incomes on 1t and are debased by 1t
body and soul.
Americans who have tasted the
stuff will agree with him that it is
disgusting, but the taste for most
liquors is an acquired one, and
pulque has its defenders who boast OF
its medicinal properties. Probably
as much can be said for 1t as for most
alcoholic stimulants, and we may
consider 1t as the local agency for O
general curse. The Mexicans merely
get their dope from the maguey
plant instead of from grains, fruits
and sugar. They are ingenious
enough also to get two kinds, the
pulque, which corresponds with beer
and the mescal, which is a very fiery
liquor that saves the drunkard time
by paralyzing him in short order.
AS most of the people are either
Indians of the full blood or have
some trace of the Indian in them, We
may infer from our own experiences
with the native American tribes thai
they are very easy victims Of strong
waters. Furthermore, 1t Is fact thai
they have little power of resistance
The writer does not exaggerate wheI
he calls the national drink national
curse, for 1t is absolutely ruinous
and excessive drinking is such {

treated as a frightful evil by OBJ
servers of the country and the
people.
1t is evident. therefore, in spite Q
all the wonder stories that have beer
told of the varied uses of the mague.
