A Temperance Lecture

| Do you know how alcohol does its work
of ruin to body and mind?
| A scientist compares the human brain
| and the nervous system, which 1t con-
trolls, to the electric street car system of
| a great city.
| Somewhere in the suburbs Is the main
| power house, and from 1t go the feed
wires to every part of the city, distribu-
| ting power to the smallest stations and
these in turn to other districts.
| So the brain is the power house of the
| human system.
| In the brain are generated-we know
not how-the mysterious forces that gov
| ern the functions of the body and the
mind
Science calls this energy-neuron energy
| nerve energy.
| Now, every feed wire of the great
power house which runs the street cars
and carries the electricity for the lamps
in the cars or on the desk of the mama
ger, every wire is able to transmit just so
much electrical energy and no more.
Crowd too much on the wire and the
fuse burns out.
So with the brain. The nerve wires
can carry just so much neuron energy.
| Overtax the nerves and they literally
burn out
Alcohol oHerstimulates, puts too much
on the nerve wires. Something must
burn.
The brain station controls every func-
ton of mind and body. 1t not only car
ries the energy for physical effort, but
provides the force for the marshaling of
the thoughts, records impressions and
even throws it's lamplight on the moral
pathway of the mind.
What happens when the wires are over
| loaded?
why. the smaller motor centers- SUBJ
stattons-are smashed That means tenn
porary insanity If continued 1t means
| ruin of the system.
| Alcohol literally burns out the wires at
| some point. And the microscope shows
| the ashes. You can see the remains
| mind ashes'-just as easily as you can
| see the ashes in smoked pipe.
| And thus does science show through

They are more easily prevented than

| should like to see the picture of the
woman-except she be a harem beauty
| who Is able to live in a placid existence,
| free from emotion.
Why, emotion is woman's life.
She will seek it If 1t does not come to
her. She lives In her heart. For that is
she woman. She cannot escape her lot.
Only in childhood can she live a more
or less placid life, free from emotion"
AS a young bride she must undertake
the trials of the new housekeeper. The
process of readjustment to the welded life
is not an easy one. and often it is made
to the accompaniment of many tears.
She cannot desist because of muscle tire
and the beginning of wrinkles.
Free from emotion?
As the wife she must share the burdens
and divide the sorrows of her husband.
She cannot live the placid life and suffer
him to go on alone She, too, must wrinkle
her brow.
The placid life?
AS the mother she must suffer all the
life free from emotion when her heart
clutches in an agony of love and fear
through the watches of night for her
baby's sake? What cares she in such an
hour that the wrinkles may come to her
face?
Moreover
What sort of a woman would she be
did she escape all these shocks of emo
ton? She must be aimless. for fixed
purpose means struggle. She must be
loveless. for love means self-sacrifice
Do not misunderstand.
Woman may escape much needless
| worry and useless striving. Modern wo-
| man is learning how to rest her tired
muscles by reasonable relaxation.
| But the womans world at the best is a
hard one. She must face 1t. And the
wrinkles sooner or later must needs
come to her.
Let her not be ashamed.
The sweetest faces you know are wrink-
led faces And every wrinkle tells
story of vicarlous atonement.
The sweetest face I ever knew was
wrinkled. The last time / saw it was In a
coffin. 1t was the face of mother.

Are Mute Evidence Of
Terrible Encounter

dress, were loggers. One was very
dark, the other a blonde, slightly bald

LONG and SHORT

Senator Overman Says Present
Railroad Measure Contains
a Joker
Offers Amendment Against I'M
reasonable and Arbitrary
Freight Rates

WASHINGTON, May 9-Taking up
the railroad bill today. the senate re-
sumed consideration of the long and
short haul amendment. Senator Over
man was the principal speaker.
Declaring the present law contains
a JOKER the North Carolina senator
presented an amendment making it
unlawful for any common carrier to
charge more for short haul than for
a long haul, except with the approval
of the Interstate commerce commission.
He said there was not a town in his
state that was not Disseminated
against by the railroads in shipments
of fruits, cotton and other commodi-
ties.
Overman also undertook to show
that the New England cotton mills get
their cotton cheaper than do the
southern mills, in the heart of the cot
ton region, while at the same time they
pay less on shipments of the product
to the Pacific coast. He contended the
rates were established without any re-
gard to their reasona bleness and were
absolutely arbitrary.
Piles was opposed to the insertion of
a long and short haul amendment in
the bill and spoke especially against
the Dixon amendment. He took the
position that the practice of charging
more for short than for long hauls was
due almost entirely to water competi-
ton and said where there was such
competition the practice was not un-
fair.
Proceeding, Piles said the system
had originated as the result of circum-
stances and was not matter of choice.
To change it now and fix rates, as ii
were, by the yardstick, would be un-
