SUBSTITUTES FOR ALCOHOL IN MED
| ICINE.
The question is frequently ask
ed, "What shall / take instead of
wine, beer, brandy or other aIco-
bolic liquors, when am advised
to use some Of these as a remedy
in illness?" The question implies
that liqnor is valuable aid IN
combating disease. but principle
forbids its use if any other agency
will as we'll meet the case. This
query and its implication show
lack OF knowledge of the teachings
OF non-alcoholic physicians who
have repeatedly stated that III
most ailments alcohol is not only
useless, but positively harmful, it,

resting solely upon its narcotic
nature. 1t is the power of alcohol
to deaden sensation which has led

better. He does not know that
the cessation of uneasiness results
from the benumbing of his capaci-
ty for feeling. Physicians, as well
as iaity, have been dciuded by this
deceptive drug, because until re-
Gently its nerve-deadening nature
was not recognized, and instead of
being cIassed as narcotic it was
spoken OF almost universally as "a
stimulant." But modern investi-
gators in medical science have by
careful experiments learned that

human body is really the exact OPP

STREET CAR SERVICE
PRESIDENT HIXON SAYS PEOPLE
MUST PATRONIZE CARS.
Fifth Street Line Has Been Operated
at Heavy Loss During the
Past Year.

In reply to the complaints made
against the recently inaugurated street
car srvice, President w. L. Hixon
of the Mankato Electric Traction
made this statement to-
day: 'The public will have to pat
ronize the company to a larger extent
than it has if it expects that the COM
pany will keep up the Fifteen minute
service. The company is only too will
ing to furnish the ten minute service,
but under the conditions prevailing
that kind of service is out of the
question. The public should not ex-
pect the cars to run empty and at a
loss to the company. The fifth street
cars have been operated at loss of
about 81 per day during the past year.
The company does not feel that it
should stand this loss"

TRACE BOY VIA LETTER
MOTHER ANXIOUS THAT HE BE
RETURNED HOME.
Chief of Police O'Connor of st. Paul
Secures Aid of Head of Local De-
partment in Search.

Yesterday afternoon Chief Pond re-
ceived telephone message from Chief
O'Connor of st. Paul saying that a
twelve year old boy named Theodore
Bergstrom had run away from his
home there and that his mother had
received letter from him, written
on stationery of the Hotel Heinrich
saying that he was with a carnival
company and that she need not worry
abou thin, and that she had also re-
ceived letter from another party,
unsigned, on the same stationery, say
ing that her son was in good company
and that she need not worry. 1t was
desired that the boy be located and
held.
Chief Pond investigated and found
that the boy did not stop at the Helm
rich, and that a lad answering his
description was with a deaf mute
bootblack who was in Mankato yes
terday. He succeeded in tracing the
boy to Lake Crystal, where he had the
marshal take him into custody.
Chief Pond called up Chief OCon-
nor last evening and was told that
an officer would go to Lake Crystal
at once and take the boy home. 1t
is supposed that the deaf mute wrote
the second letter.
