Sedatives Are False Friends.

Referring to the subject of worry.

fellow of the Royal Society of Edin-

singular interest in light of the recent
alcoholic discussions that have been
exciting scientific circles. He writes:
1.-THE habitual use of %sedatives, such
as alcohol, opium. morphia, choral. CO.

demned without qualification as false
in principle and fatal in result. 1t is
true that these drugs will one and all
relieve worry, Danish care and procure
peace of mind. but it is as true that

DANGERS OF DRINK.

"Alcohol and Alcoholism" for the Revue

In reality a pitiless scientific state

The article deals with hereditary
predisposition to disease. DR.. jeffrey

DRINK HABIT WAvi~G.
Temperance In Business Life HISS
Come to Be a Necessity,

SoHlc 10 &C fCSSSSity.
The English have always been not
ed as heavy eaters and drinkers. Eng
lane is still one of the largest con-
sumers of liquor per capita, and the
drink problem is a serious one in the
tight little island. But there have been
great changes in the last few years.
and there is a steady tendency toward
greater temperance in living. The Pail
Mall Gazette, in an article on the de-
cline Of old fashioned chophouses in
London. says: Thirty years & it
was no uncommon thing to see ten or
fifteen men out OF a company OF sew
enty or eighty who went to these big
dinners of whom it would be said that.
although they were not perhaps intox-
icated, they had had quite enough.
What a wonderful change today! You
go to similar dinners and find men
drinking no more than one glass of
champagne. literally diluted with ae-
rated water and not the slightest trace
Of intoxication."
The change in this country is even
more marked. We are learning better
how to live. In the matter Of eating
and drinking we are wiser in our day
and generation than our ancestors
were. Temperance in business and
professional life has come to be a mat
ter Of necessity. The world has no
use for the Incorporate man. It does
not trust him. The man whose mind
is b%efuddled by drink Is not wanted in
any place Of trust or responsibility,
whether it be managing a bank or
tending a railroad switch.-Nashville

Bad Ventilation.

Few dairy farmers really understand
what good ventilation means. 1t is a
common thing to see a hay chute left
open over the cows with the impression
that it will create a current of air to
ventilate he stable. The fact is. a
stable, to be ventilated, must have the
air drawn off from neal the floor. This
Is where the bad air accumulates. 4
shaft that simply takes he best air
from near the ceiling is IA damage.
Foul air is from 10 to 90 per cent leav-
Ter than pure air. The only system Of
ventilation that is worth the name will
admit pure air from outdoors near the
ceiling and draw off the foul air from
near the floor, says Farm Press. Any
thing short of this should not he called
