THE USE OF ALCOHOL.
u Acts 40 4 Paralyxer Upon the Brain
Center.

Writing In Science Progress" DR..
Cushny maintains that some Of the
hughest functions Of the brain are
thrown out of action by alcohol ad.
ministered In quantities which induce
the phase of exhilaration. Thus II is
found that typesetters do a smaller
amount Of work and make q much
larger number Of misprints when even
a couple OF glasses Of beer are allowed
than when they perform their work
without this drug. Only in one re-
spect was any increased aptitude
shown-namely, in the Transformation
OF an idea into movement And many
geographic experiments appear TO
show that small quantities Of alcohol
have the effect of temporarily in.
creasing the capacity Of doing muscu-
lar work, especially when the subject
10 fatigued This augmentation is only
transient, and the total work done In
the course of the day IL considerably
reduced by alcohol, as has long been
demonstrated in the case of forced
marching"
AS to the use of alcohol as medj-
cine, DR.. Cushny says: Alcohol is a
drug which may be useful in thera
peutics, although think it can hardly
be considered indispensable. but which
has so often given rise to habit that
its use must be curtailed to the utmost
limit"

The Husband OF the Future.

Much has been written, of late,
about woman, 1.-The model wife, so
we have a word for the model
husband of the future. We say
"of the future" for the reason
that if he exists today we have
never had the pleasure IF his ac-
quaintance. The model hubsand of
the future will walk ont with his
wife on week day, and will not b
afraid of millinery shops. He will
even have change" when asked
for it, and will never allude to it
afterwards. He will not be above
carrying a large bundle or cotton
umbrella, or even holding the baby
in his lap in an omnibus. He will
go to bed first in cold weather. He
vii get up in the night to rock the
cradle or answer the door bell. He
will believe in Mysteries ard will
be easily melted to tear. He
will patch up quarrel with his
wife with velvet gown and drive
away the sulks with ride in the
automobile. He will never get out
of humor because few buttons are
missing when he goes to dress,
neither will he bring home friends
for supper. His clothes will never
smell of tobacco. He will respect
the curtains and never smopke in
the house. He will be innocent of
any latch key. He will let the
family go out of town once every
year while the remains at home
with one knife and fork, sleeps on
a curtainless bed and washes his
own dishes and socks. Watch
for this model husband for he is
surely coming.

A Young girl errs once and the

are closed against her. But we
reach the hetrayer our hands and

for is it not sacrifice of love

upon such a union? If either be
Stunned, why not the betrayer of
