ALCOHOL AND ITS EFFECTS

Why should any sane man think OF
drinking alcoholic How many would
drink it if they knew what 1t ISL If
any man thinks of looking for IL to
find il In a natural state, he will be
disappointed. 1t is not found any
where in living, healthy nature, In
the human or animal body: in any
grain, fruit or vegetable. This NAV
seem strange and contrary to common
observation of the less-thinking class
of people But science says 1t is true:
Where can il be found in the nearest
natural state? 1t can be found. and
is only fonud there as the product OF
death and decay. IL can be found m
dead horse which has been dead
three days and decay has commenced.
But not particle of it could have
been found in that horse while living
and healthy. The distiller absolutely
kills and destroys the grain and fruits
he gets alcohol from. before he sees
any of that article. After boiling and
stepping it, it evolves a principle
that unites with the oxygen of the
air, and the result is alcohol
Alcohol is not tit to be taken into
any human or animal stomach, as a
beverage Why?
First: 1t is absolutely and totally
indigestible. No human or animal
stomach can digest il. Secondly: No
food in the stomach can be digested
while aclohol is there and mingles
with the food.
AS alcohol cannot be digested and
pass out of the stomach in the natural
way, it is treated as dangerous enemy
and the system has to work to expel
the enemy and throw il off and out
in different ways. the result being,
if the quantity is large. an effort that
absolutely tires the system out, and
the man falls down, helpless, sense
less in body mind and feeling.
The man is simply what we cal
dead drunk In other words, he
is absolutely tired and tagged out, in
body. mind and soul by his bodily
contest with that arch enemy of the
human race. Wise are the words
Touch not, taste not, handle not, tn,
unclean thing. for at the last it biteti
like a serpent and stingeth like al
adder. -

hanged from a tree. and several shot:
were fired to hasten his death.

GUIDED BY
HANDS OF DEAD
CAR. SPEEDS ALONG AT THIRTY
MILES WITH CORPSE AT THE
WHEEL

NEW YORh, July 14.-Stephen w.
Anderson of Brooklyn, "a years old,
died suddenly this evening while out
in his Mercedes forty-fve-h
automobile on Ocean Park way with
two friends. He acted as chauffeur,
and as he sat up straight with his
hands on the steering wheel, the young
woman by his side and the man in the
rear seat did not know he was dead as
the car sped along. A mounted pa
trolman of the Coney Island station
ordered the car to stop, as it was going
thirty miles an hour, and when the
order was not obeyed the policeman
followed in pursuit.
Anderson's friends told him to SLOW
up. He did not answer, and then, on
shaking him, they saw blood trickling
from his mouth. He had been attack
ed by a fatal hemorrhage. The other
man in the automobile took the wheel
and stopped the car. That bad acct
dent did not occur is considered mira

LACK OF
TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSIONERS INFLUENCED BY
POOR STEAMER SERVICE ON
PACIFIC.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Captain
Beggs, general purchasing officer for
the Isthmian Canal Commission, ca
bled today to Colonel Goethals regard
ing the purchase of supplies at San
Francisco. His message was as fol-
lows: Relative to commissary pro-
posals to be opened July 10Th, numer-
Gus protests; chambers of commerce OF
Pacific Coast request delivery at La
Boca; letter June 9th says delivery 1T
La Boca not desired, Do you wish to
reconsider"
THE reason delivery is not desired
at La Boca," SAID Captain Beggs, is
this: The people on the canal zone de-
plies. We do not dare carry heavy
stock on account of rapid deterioration
in tropical climates. The steamship
service on the Pacific Coast is such
that If there should be a failure to ship
on any vessel the interval between
shipments would be twenty days, and
We do not care to carry supplies for
that length of time. On this coast we
can ship every four or five days. The
erection of a storehouse would not OBJ
viate the tendency OF the food sup
plies to deteriorate. 1t might be pos
sibls to make exceptions with regard
to some things, but that rests with
Colonel Cocktails"
Another official of the Canal Com
mission expressed the opinion that
prunes and dried peaches might be
bought In San Francisco. and said he
believed that some concessions would
be made to the Pacific Coast dealers
but a definite answer is expected by
