LESS LIQUOR IN SCOTLAND
Citizens of Edinburgh Congratulate
Themselves on Satisfactory Re-
port of Chief Constable.

Edinburgh people are congratula-
ting themselves on the satisfactory
nature OF the report just issued by
the chief constable for the city for
the year 1909. It shows that during
that year arrests for drunkenness.
crime and disorders Of all kinds were
fewer than they have been since re-
liable statistics of this kind have
been kept by the authorities.
The total number of persons ar
rested for all kinds Of offenses, drunk
enness included, was 13,411 In 1909,
as compared with 1929 in 1908, a de-
crease of 1,86S. That the poorer
people in Edinburgh seem to be get
ting more sober is shown by the
fact that whereas in 1908 the num-
Der of persons arrested for being
drunk and incapable, drunk and dis
orderly, or drunk in charge Of chill
dren or vehicles was 1881, the num-
Der last year fell to 5,521. decrease
of 1910.
Much speculation has been INDUCED
In as to the causes which have led
to this welcome decrease of drunken
ness in Edinburgh and it may be said
that the same decrease has been
noted In other large towns in the
country. The extra duty on spirits
imposed by the budget was undoubt-
eddy. as the chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer now knows to his cost, fol.
lowed by an almost immediate de-
crease in the consumption of whisky.

Little Business Done After Nine
O'clock and Directors Decide to
Close at Midnight.

New York-New York always likes
to regard itself as the busiest city in
the world. II takes itself very seri-
ously on this side, however much it
may frivol for amusement and recre-
alton. Nothing pleases a New Yorker
more than for a visitor to notice the
great rush In the streets and to ex-
press admiration at the immense con-
courses of people, and to protest
against the terrific congestion on the
transportation lines. Indeed, the av-
erage New Yorker regards the physi-
cal discomfort of dense population as
a tribute to his personal sagacity and
cleverness. Give him half a chance
and he will talk volubIy in statistical
terms about the tremendous volume OF
business done on Manhattan island.

ton was started that appealed strong

ty should be offered to bank at all

STUDYING AIR OVER LONDON
dustriousiy Explored Atmosphere
Above City.

With the aid of a balloon a British
scientist has for several years indus.
trious explored the atmosphere over
London, and the results of his investi.
cations afford a strange picture of
the skyward extension of the worlds
greatest city.
Somewhat fanciful and yet with a
certain degree Of truth, London might
be said to be six thousand feet high,
or deep. for up to about that level
the air over the vast town is unmis-
takably London air
Between three thousand and five
thousand feet above the housetops is
a region where dust resembling chaff,
filaments and wooden fiber, such as
ould arise from tho pughfa.es and
rom the sweeping of houses, seems
specially to accumulate. At least
there is more there than nearer the
ground. In calm weather aerial Lon
don becomes to a certain extent strait

surface of the haze. as if it had

Milk Affected Where Animal Is
Subject to Excitement.
Well Known Physician Cites Instances
Where Headaches Have Been
Caused, To Be Obiterated
by Weak Tea and Lemon.

London.-"This milk comes from
cows that have been kept calm. I'M
excited and in a good temper" will be
the guarantee of the honest dairyman
of the future.
For milk from excited or irritated
cows is, according to the latest scien-
tific opinion, more Immediately, though
transiently, harmful than when it con-
tains disease germs.
THE reason is this" well known
physician declared recently. When a
man is subjected to unpleasant emo
tons, such as temper, fear or sulki
ness, his blood throws out toxins. In
tense excitement has the same effect.
and this is the cause of the bitter
taste in the mouth after such expert
ences.
Now, these poisonous bodies are
eliminated from the blood by means
of the various secretory organs of the
body, among which are the salivary
glands. and that is why their presence
is detected by the taste.
In the case of mich cows a definite
percentage of the sum of the toxins
caused by fright, bad temper or irri-
liability reaches the milk, and in ex-
IRENE cases will cause it to go bad
much before the normal time.
Patients frequently call upon me
and complain that their health, though
not radically bad, fluctuates unpleas-
antly in way that they can only de-
fine as resembling slight, but very I'M
pleasant, liver ailments.
In listening to their descriptions of
their symptoms have been struck by
the fact that many complain that very
often they come down to breakfast
feeling very fit and hungry after a
vigorous cold Tubing. but half an hour
after that meal are not well.
There are sensations of headache
rather than real headache, unpleasant
heart palpitations. sluggishness Of
thought and sense of irritability.

COTTON SEED FLOUR

facts regarding the cotton seed flour
have been deduced:
Cotton seed flour resembles meat
more closely in its chemical compost
ton than it does wheat flour. 1t Is
quite different in character from wheat
our; ii contains less crude fiber than
cotton seed meal, in that 1t contains
than twice as much protein as the
meats, which is due to the water in
the meat, but whatever the cause of
the difference, the cotton seed flour
contains over twice as much flesh
forming mot faD materials iprotein)
as anyu of the meats.
A portion of cotton seed and meals
contains over four times as much pro-
TEN as eggs. and about the same
quantity of fat. 1t contains over four
les as much protein as wheat -four
heat flour, however, contains con.
siderably more nitrogen-free extract.
consisting chiefly of sugars and
starches Thus wheat flour is a diff
ferent kind of food from cotton seed
meal
Cotton seed flour is a meat substi-
tute. 1t is not a flour substitute, be.
ing low in sugars and starches in
which -four is so rich. Protein is the
chief constituent of meals and is gen.
orally considered as the most expen.
sive nutrient of our foods.
The bakery products which were ex.
amined had yellow or brown color
and a pleasant taste. The color is
not noticed in ginger snaps and gin.
gerbread. Doctor Traps advises
against bleaching the cotton seed flour
believing that as 1t is different in nu-
tritive value from ordinary bread, II
is well that its color should call at
tention TO the fact
Doctor Traps says: There is no
question that cotton seed -four will
be wholesome, but experience and ex.
pertinent most determine the quantity
that man should eat.
1T is very rich and it would be an
easy matter to eat too much. For that
reason / don't think that it ought tc
be used except as mixture with 9th
er flour, not less than four parts OF
other flour to one of cotton seed
-four"

eermany's Submarine Reaoue Ship.


Brftain's So, Frances Sc. Russia's 80
and Is of the United States, Teutonic
thoroughness has already provided a
rescue ship, illustrated. in the accom-
panying sketch plan.
She is named the Vulcan and was
launched at Kiel in 1907. The vessel.
which has a length Of 2S0 feet, con
sists of two separate hulls. marked
fitted with engines which give a speed
of IL knots. 'GG are the tunnels.
AT either end the separate hulls are
connected by a deck, marked ID. so
that viewed from forward or aft the
ship presents the structure of a tun-
mel
A large space, F, sufficient to allow
the largest German submarine yet de.
signed to pass through, is left clear
between the two hulls, and over this
are erected two steel girder bridges.
with two others connecting them.
They are marked EE.
These bridges are fitted with a pow
erful electric crane, capable of lift
ing a weight of 500 tons. and when a
submarine has thus been raised it
can be rested upon movable Orders
which can be placed beneath it,
The ship itself is more or less a
floating workshop. With the excep
ton of the men directly concerned in
the navigation OF the ship all on
board are skilled engineers and a
number of divers are carried, so that
operations can be commenced as soon
as the vessel arrives on the scene of
an accident

Blame Drink for Epilepsy.

There are 1000 epileptics In Phila-

elton to his lecture on Instruments

sc of Alcohol" before the Society Of
College Settlement Workers at Phila-
delphia the other day.
Dr. Woods explained that 40 per
cent Of the cases of epilepsy were due
to the fact that one or ne other of the
parents Of the victims were addicted
to the use. moderately or otherwise, Of
intoxicants.
Alcohol with meals he also con-
demned. but favored the moderate use
of water. Two or three glasses Of
good water at the meals, DR.. Woods
said, would be beneficial The use
CT alcohol in cases of Indigestion. h
explained, was positively harmful
