The first question the average Wis
itor to the United States treasury
building asks is: Couldn't burglars
tunnel under the vaults and rob the
governments" Well, that is not likely.
An armed guard sits beside the vaults.
Every twenty minutes he is required to
ring an alarm just to show that he is
awake. An armed patrol makes the
rounds hourly. Secret service men in
plain clothes, with concealed weapons,
keep watch and ward outside and in
side the building. As to tuuneling, the
officials hold that If a man by any pos
sibility should manage to bore under
meath vault the heavy metal would
crush him to a Jelly, thus administer
Ing lasting gold cure. Even if the
tunnel burglar should get away with
his life he could not get away with
much gold. Ten thousand dollars In
double eagles weighs thirty-eight
pounds. Forty million dollars In gold
certificates of the $4,000 denomination
weighs eleven and half pounds
Even burglars prefer the gold certif-
Gates to the real thing. Buffalo Times.

Drur, and the Brain.

Most people believe that drugs af-
feet the brain. Yet this apparently is
not so, according to physicians. Drugs
no more affect the brain than
does insanity-that is, not at all LEX
cept alcohol. which does injure the
brain, though not at all on account Of
its mental efferts, but for the very
different reason that alcohol has a
chemical affinity for the albumen and
fats of the tissues. By this chemical
action it slowly alters and damages
brain tissue, but this result in no
wise differs from similar alterations
produced by alcohol in the tissues Of
the liver and OF the kidneys. Tobac-
co is a powerful poison, and yet no
autopsies can show the yeast. differ
ence between the brain of a lifelong
smoker and that of one who never lit
a cigar. Likewise, the brain of an
opium hend is indistinguishable from
any other brain, and so on for the
rest Drugs do affect the mind and
will power, but not the brain substance
itself.

Brights disease and organic hear
trouble in New York and other large
cities of wealth have reached alarming
proportions These are aristocratic
ailments coming from rich feeding, late
hours and wines. In New York the
deaths from these troubles were, In
1871, at the rate Of 1769 persons in
every 1000 Of population; in 1888 the
rate was increased to 21.91; in 1908 il
was 27.20; in 1907 1t was 30.14. Here,
in cold figures of death and disease, is
the lesson which tells us, who, though
poor, love life and health, that riches
are not an unmitigated blessing OF
course, we all think that If we were
rich we would be more sensible than
those who are now wealthy, but this
cannot be proved, for prosperity is a
much harder test of character than is
adversely, and is warranted to show
up the dross in the saintliest. Better
by far, for our health at least, is the
stern master, necessity, which forces
us to go sedately along the same work
aday pathway, than the wild gay
crony, wealth, which would allow us
yes, encourage us-to run impetuously
to a prema ture grave. The universal
cry and desire and plant of the age is
for riches. Let's stop for minute
and realize that riches could mean but
a slight variation from the program
upon which our lives are already or
dered. Food, clothes, home, occupa-
ton, recreation, friends-these we
have. Wealth could put more spices
in your food, more style in your coat,
more gimcracks in your house, more
anxiety in your occupation. more pre-
tense in your recreation and more
falsity in your friends. With money
these things could be varied and yd,l
could travel and see the world But
it is safe to predict that after five
years wild indulgence in all the things
you have wanted so long, you would
find yourself back TO the same stale,
fat plain where you now Imagine your
self so forlorn. And with worse health
at that; for riches, as usually in
dulged, mean high living, little exer-
else and less thinking, shrinking of
the unpleasant wherever possible, and
consequently a softening of all fiber,
mental, moral and physical. Read over
again the statistics at the beginning OF
this article and train your wishes to-
ward something that means more
health, more life, and not less.
