DRINK CAUSES SORE EYES.
Numerous Ills May Be Traced to Ef.
feets Of Exposure Resulting from
Drunken Debauchery.

The eyes may be affected with
acute or chronic Inflammation, Almost
all drunkards have the latter more or
less. Their eyes are red and watery,
and have an expression so peculiar
that the cause can never be mis-
taken. This, and a certain want of
firmness about the lips, which are
loose, gross, and sensual, betray at
once the topper. Drunkenness in,-
pairs vision. The delicacy of the
retina is probably affected, and it is
evident from long-continued inflamma-
tion the tunica adnata, which covers
the cornea, must lose its original clear
ness and transparency.
PIeurisy often arises in drunkards
from their remaining out in the open
air or exposed to cold and damp. In
tiammation of the intestines, of the
kidneys. of the bladder, etc., is liable
to occur, both from general excite
ment and particular irritation of these
organs Rheumatism is often traced
to the neglect and exposure of a fit of
drunkenness.
There is no organ which so rapidly
betrays the bacchanalian propensi-
ties OF its owner as the nose. 1t
not only becomes red and fiery, like
that of Bardoiph, but acquires gen.
eral increase of size-displaying upon
it's surface small pimples, either
wholly of a deep crimson hue, or
tipped with yellow, in consequence of
an accumulation of viscid matter
within them. The rest of the face
often presents the same carbuncled
appearance.

Sunday School Work Progressing.

Rev. w. Fred Long, the active field
secretary of the Mississippi State Sun
day School Association, has returned
from Newton county, where he spent
two days with the Sunday school work
ers of that county, and left the organi-
zation in a fourishing condition.
During the month of August he will
swing around the State considerably, at
tending and addressing county conven-
tions scheduled The dates are:
Alcorn county, Corinth, Tuesday and
Wednesday, August II and IS; Prentiss
county, Bonneville, Thursday and Friday,
August 10 and 20; Lee county Tupelo,
August 20 and 21; Copiah, Rich Hill,
Tuesday and Wednesday, August "a and
IS; Kinds, Thursday and Friday, Au-
gust 20 and 81.
Secretary Long is an optimist OF the
most pronounced type, and looks on the
bright side of every situation, whether
secular or religious, and, according to
his survey of the field, there seems to
be good in everything. He has held and
organized more conventions so far dur
ing 1909 than were held in all of the
state last year, and as yet the field is
not nearly covered nor the counties all
organized.

Cider Made Deacon Drunk.

An echo of one of the famous cases
that was decided by the state supreme
court last term, the r. c. Berry case,
from Simpson county, has just been
heard, and the state revenue agents Of
fee, as an accompaniment, has turned
in something over 81 300, which was due
as privilege license and fines, in conse-
quence of the violation of the prOhibi-
ton statutes. Berry was convicted on
the evidence of a well known and re-
spected citizen of the town of Shivers,
who undertook to ascertain by personal
and physical test whether the special
brew of "cider" handled by him was in
toxicating if drunk to excess.
The test was successful, insofar as the
States case was mainly on the strength
of his evidence that the supreme court
affrms the lower court and upheld the
revenue agent.
The revenue agent has completed his
part of the transaction by collecting and
paying over in three equal parts the
amount in settlement of the case, to the
State, the county and the municipality.

WHEAT I'm MISSISSIPPI.

There seems to have been awakened
in the farmers of the state an earnest
interest and the raising of wheat; and,
if we may judge the interest by the
number of letters received asking for
specific information on this subject, there
will be greater acreage planted in
wheat this fall than ever before.
Probably the greatest obstacle in the
way of profitable wheat raising in Mis-
sissippi is the lack of good Touring mills,
the grinding being at present done by
the most primitive of grist-mills. If
the acreage in wheat is large enough,
and increased each year, there will be
a corresponding increase in the number
of first-class mills. With good up-to-
date Touring mills in the state, there is
no doubt but that wheat can easily be
made very profitable crop for the farm
er to grow. We had to have cotton be-
fore we got gins; we had to have pro-
duce to haul before we got railroads,
and we will have to raise wheat in suff-
cient quantities before we get Touring
mills. Produce the wheat and the mills
will surely come. Wheat is good
crop for the farmer, because it fits so
well into a three-year rotation with cot
ton and corn. This rotation can be so
planted as to improve the soil rapidly.
The first year sow wheat in the fail

Drink AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS
Some Statistics as to the Relation Of
Intemperance to Pauperlsm In
European Countries.

European statistics as to the rela-
ton of intemperance to pauperism are
less abundant than might be sup
posed, largely, perhaps, because 1t is
only in recent years that the temper
ance movement has gained a popular
hearing in most communities there.
The following official figures compiled
from some of the larger centers of
population, however, reveal in strik-
ing manner the evil influence of alco-
hol upon social conditions through
out parts of the German empire and
elsewhere, where drinking customs
have long prevailed.
In the great Charity hospital of Ber-
lin, Dr. Siemerling reports from 43.3
to SIG per cent. of alcoholics among
all the patients admitted in two sue
cessive years.
DR.. George Keferste of Luneburge
cites statistics of 60 years standing
of the city of Osnabruck where Sc
per cent of all paupers were de-
clared to owe their condition directly
to drink
He cites also the reports of the
German labor colonies, showing that
of 44,539 men admitted in the period
18S2-1S91, no fewer than II per
cent. owed their condition directly
or indirectly to alcohol; and he quotes
with approval the declaration of
Grumbrecht "a member of the Ger
rli "a Fp0n VNt n
whoever has watched attentively for
a term of years the work Df applied
charity in fairly large city cannot
escape the conviction that nine cases
Of pauperism in every ten must as
sociate their condition with the use
and abuse OF intcxicants.
An estimate published in a period
ical devoted to the charities of Ham
burg ascribes SO per cent. Of the pau
perism of that city Cn the year 1902
to intemperance.
Nor do these estimates, ascribing
from one-third to one-haf Of the rec
ognized poverty of Germany to the
effects of alcohol, vary greatly from
the estimates made for England by
British investigators, and the careful
statistics compiled for America by the
Committee of Fifty. Such correspond
ences cannot well be accidental. They
give secure warrant for the belief
that at least one-third of all the rec
ognized pauperism in the most highly
civilized communities Of Christen-
dom results from bodily and men
tai ineffciency due to alcoholic in
diligence. ...,+..
A similar correspondence OF testi-
mony shows that the same cause is
responsible for the mental overthrow
of fully one-fourth of all the unfor-
Inmates who are sent to asylums for
the insane; for the misfOrtunes of two
