WOULD PURCHASE SITE
Members of the Council Ask Jeffery
Co. to Purchase Lot for Fire Station

A petition is being circulated among
the members Of the Common Council
asking that the Thomas B. Jeffrey Com
pany purchase lot for a site for an
engine house at the corner of Rowland
avenue and Grand avenue The lot
which is the property of Fred Neinow
is offered to the city for $1,000. The
Jeffrey Company has announced that it
will make donation to the city on
account of the vacation Of land at the
west end of Park street and the mem
bers Of the Council are anxious to have
this donation used for the extension
of the fire department. Some Of the
members Of the Council have declined
to sign the petition declaring that the
proposed lot is not properly located and
that there is no demand for an engine
house in that part of the city at this
time. The lot in question is situated
within few rods of the extreme north
west limits of the city and some Of
the members of the Council feel that
if an engine house is to be built it
should be further south and further
east. The matter will probably come
before the Council at an early meeting.

If the city officials would only take
some of that 100000 which has been
spent in the last five months and use
it to lower some of the catch basins
and the paving around the catch basins
so that water could run off instead of
stand and evaporate, it would do some
lasting good and be appreciated by the
people.

Drinking Too Much

1t would be idle to deny that the
drinking habit has reached almost the
proportions Of a pasti1ne among us
We no longer drink only when we are
thirsty. We drink when surrounded by
our fellows to promote good fellowship
Just as we drink when alone to escape
boredom; we drink when we are merry
and we drink when we are depressed
In short, we drink much and often.
Each has his favorite tipple. Tea
that mild distillation of the Orient, is
the beverage of gossip and literature
suggesting placid rumination and a
quiet setting. Soda, ginger beer and
the thousand and one concoctions OF
the corner soda fountain tempt the alb
stemious, above all in not weather
Wines and more ardent spirits admins
ter a 1illip to the nerves of those who
are addicted to the use Of alcoholic
stimulants. Each after his fashion in
dulges in some kind of excess.
The secret of this indulgence in
liquid refreshment of various sorts is
to be found largely in the fact that
each season secs a multiplication of the
beverages that are agreeable to the
taste. We drink not because we are
thirsty, but because the flavor is pleas
ing to the palate, and in doing this
some physicians contend we are ex-
ceeding the liquid requirements of the
organism. In considering this matter
editorially The Lancet remarks:
''The thirsty person who cannot sat
isfy his thirst unless the beverage con-
tains what is in reality drug, has
really acquired an unhealthy habit, or,
to put it plainly, a disease. Yet, what
else is the alcohol of the various al
coholic beverages, the caffeine of tea
and coffee, the glucoside or quinine of
bitters, or even the ginger of ginger
beer or Of ginger ale, the aromatic oil
of the hqueur, the carbonic acid gas
in soda water, the citric acid of the
lemon and so on but drug? All these
clearly convey something into the or
ganism over and above water itself !;
they cannot quench thirst in the sense
that water does"
The medical journal goes on to as
cribe the great growth of this habit
of drinking liquids other than water to
the fear that water may contain disease
entities 1t ends with warning that
persistence in the habit frequently
manifests it's i'll effects in a disturbance
Of functions which may result in harm
to the entire organism. -Record Herald.
