EMPLoYEs LEAVE JOB
 BEcAUscE OF NO WAGES
Unfortunate De,ay or Mystic School House Being Built by A. N. Car penter.

On Saturday it was stated by Com mitteeman Joseph Cooper of the Mys- tic school district, where new school house is being erected by A. N. Car penter. that the men on the job had quit work, and that matters were to be taken up with the bondsman re- garding the completion of the job. which 1t Is hoped can be done in ten days.
 The trouble is all due to the fact that the carpenters. under the ern- ploy of A. N. Carpenter, the contrac- tor for the job, have been held up for about two weeks for their weekly pay. When they saw that it was not forth coming on Saturday they stopped work, refusing to continue for the req son that they had heard that their employer was somewhat embarrassed financially, until the arrears in wages were forthcoming. It seems there have been delays and difficulty in getting wood enough to finish the floors in the first corridor, the only part of the. carpenter work except a few minor details. which had been uncompleted.
 There is considerable red tape to be gone through with before the job can of the district has notified the bond ing company, the American Surety Co. of New York, which has furnished the bonds for Carpenter for $7,5o0, of the condition of things and they at once sent there Mir. Woodford of Hartford, their representative for this section. Acting with him as repre- sentative of the company steps were taken whereby the committee could engage to get the work done by am other contractor. According to the terms of the contract there was poth- ing that the committee could do by way of getting the job finished until the bonding company had been noti- fled and they fin turn had arranged matters with MT. Carpenter.
 The delay comes at very inoppor- tune time, as the work was Witnin two or three days of completion. The heating, plumbing and electric fixtures contractors are continuing their part of the work without interruption and will be through in few days.

Dr. E. O. Taylor Gave the Scientific Phase of the Alcohol
 Question to NoLicense Meeting at '. M. C. A. Hsll

food value. Neither is 1t stimulart or tonic, but it 10 a poison, deadly, diffuslve poison, one of the slow kind. but it gets there if you give 1t time. It beats a man every time in the long run and Is no thing to go Into the Workingfnan's dinner pail
 The speaker then explained the three classes of poisons- First. the narcoties' including as samples cocaine, chioral. morphine and opium, attacking and Daralyzing the nerves. Second, the IT. ritanfs. including corrosive sublimate, creosote and carboifc acid, which affect and rough up the mucous mempranes. Third. the narcotic-irritants, which act in both of the above ways ana at hie 5ne class. It's classification with narcotics alongside of the other drugs named is of recent years, but there is no contro- versy on that point now. No scientlfic man will question this statement Tor a minute today.
 pr. Taylor drew parallel between cocaine and alcohol, arguing that as cocaine, chiora1 and morphine were un- der the social ban so alcohol should be and there was no scientific ground for the use of alcohol as a beverage. As cocaine Is not for sale for luxury or as a beverage, alcohol, being In its class, should be under the same legis- Iatfve restrictions. A saloon is as much out of place in the light of mod ern science as would be cocaine den or an opium joint if it were located in your city. The use of cocaine lowers the efficiency of the worlxingman, the poor Workingman makes poor business conditions, poor business conditions lower property valuation, and lower property valuation sends the taxes up. 1t is the same with alcohol. A man cannot use alcohol habitually in SC small a dose that 1t will not do him harm. This was demonstrated in the London alcoholic congress, and the fa- hitual use of half a pint of 3 1-2 per cent. beer can so weaken the body resistance as to make 1t an easier prey to typhoid fever and tuberculosis. The whiskey hend does everything that the cocaine field does and more, Nor alco- hol is at once a narcotic and an irri- tant poison. For every argument that can be produced for the prohibition o1 cocaine there are two arguments against alcohol. The place of the lat ter is on a shelf in state controlled institution and to be let alone except on the order of medical or sclentifie man for scientific purposes.
 In conclusion the speaker demon strated the presence of alcohol in bottle of Budweiser beer which he had purchased. here, boiling the alcohol out of three teaspoonfuls of it and show ing that it would burn at the end of 2 tube leading from the retort. There was about per cent. alcohol in Bud weiser. he said.
