The Custer Massacre.

D. d. Thompson, editor OF the
Northwestern Christian Advocate,
gives the true explanation of the
death of General Custer in the Battle
OF Little Big Horn River, in 1875.
He says that Major Reno was not a
coward, as many believe. His career
In the army and his promotion for
gallant and meritorious services pre-.
clude that idea. But Major Reno
himself told the late Rev. DR.. Arthur
Edwards, then editor of the North
western Christian Advocate, that his
strange actions were due to the fact
that he was drunk Drink ultimately
caused his downfall and expulsion
from the army in disgrace.

TIE NATIONS PRAYER.

Peace. . Father, give us peace!
Lo. the nations bend the knee;
Bid the surge Of discord cease,
All resolved in harmony.
Save us from the deep of hate,
o thou Love that gave us birth!
Teach us only they are great
Who defend Thy peace on earth.
Breathe Thy Spirit through our life,
Spirit of good will to men;
Still the storm waves Of strife,
That we wage no war again.
Banished be the cannon's roar,
Blare of bugle, beat of drum
Peace be with us evermore.
And with peace Thy kingdom come

Beer. Overweight and Ill Health

beer, ONerWclgnt ana Ill Health.
1t is well known that the contin-
ued use of beer is often accompanied
by noticeable increase in the avoir-
dupois of the drinker. This increase
not only frequently becomes burden
some, but it may be a menace to
health.
DR.. Brandreth Symonds, M. A.,
Chief Medical Director of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, New York,
has an article in the Medical Review,
In which he shows the disadvantages
of overweight and underweight, in
health and longevity.
A case Is considered overweight
when 1t exceeds by twenty per cent.
the standard adopted by the leading
life insurance companies.
DR.. Symonds finds that after thirty
years of age mortality rises rapidly
with the age and with the weight.
Increasing abdominal girth is very
serious addition to overweight, and
when this exceeds the expanded
chest, the mortality is markedly in
creased According to the records on
which this report was based, no over
weight man or woman died of old
age or reached eighty years.
"Cirrhosis of the liver" (hob-
nailed liver), says DR.. Symonds, 1s
three and one-half times as prevalent
among overweights as in our general
experience. This undoubtedly points
to alcoholism, for statisticians gen.
orally consider that liver cirrhosis is
a very accurate index Of the alcoholic
habits of a class"
DR.. Symonds expresses himself as
convinced that given percentage of
overweight in persons over twenty
five years OF age is a more serious
matter than If it were underweight.
The excessive weight, whether it
be fat or muscle, is not storehouse
of reserve strength, but a burden
which has to be nourished If muscle,
and which markedly interferes with
nutrition and function If fat"

HUSBAND BENEFICIARY,
WIFE's WILL CONTESTED
Brother and Sisters Declare She Did
Not Sign Alleged Tes-
lament.

Alleging that their sister, Mrs. Annie
Garrison. who died at Providence Hospi-
tai April % last. not only did not sign
the paper offered as her will. but refused
to sign 1t. Thomas Reynolds, Jennie How
ard and Nellie Howard today filed suit
In equity against their brother-in-law.
Howard g. Garrison. for the appoint
ment OF q receiver. to take charge OF
the real estate left by Mrs. Clarkson.
The allegation Is also made that the
two witnesses whose names appear on the
document were never at the hospital dur
ing the time Mrs. Clarkson was there nor
on the date which the will bears. An
afidavit by Frank NJ. Howard. q police
officer. shows that only one Of the wit
nesses knew the paper was a will and
that both signed after the death Of Mrs.
Garrison and at the request Of the hus-
band.
The property involved comprises 81
Rhode Island avenue northwest, tract
on the 14th street road and some realty
at Colonial Beach. Va.
The brother and sisters say the will,
even II signed by their sister, Is invalid
because not properly attested. and that
event the real estate vests in them as her
heirs-at-law. there being no children as a
result Of the marriage. The tenants have
refused to pay rent to them and they ask
the court to name some one to collect the
income and manage the estate.
The alleged will IL dated April Is. 1910.
and leaves everything to Louis p. Shoe
maker. as trustee, to be paid over to the
husband. Mr.. Shoemaker. as trustee. Is
also made defendant to the suit for q re-
ceiver.
