The Social and Hygienic Relations of
the Alcohol Question.

BY DR.. H. Deutsch, Physician to the
Insurance Corporation of 81
Brunn, Austria.
Alcohol even in diluted form as
used in the alcoholic drinks (wine,
beer, spirits) is a poison for the cells
of the body, whose functions 1t i'm
pairs. 1t has also a narcotic effect
upon the brain.
1t not only directly causes diseases
of the body and especially of the d.
gestive tract, liver and kidneys, of
the heart and nervous system, but it
also reduces the resisting power Of
the body so that infectious diseases
are easily incurred and run a serious
course. According to the latest inves-
tigation this may result from the reg
ular daily use of about a pint of
beer.
Numerous mental diseases are
caused in part and in part are pro-
NOTED by alcohol; amounts as small
as from one-half to one quart of beer
impair the mental processes of daily
life and deceive one as to his working
ability. The after-effects of such
amounts continue for moro than
twenty-four hours.
The drinker endangers his descend
ants. The effect often shows itself
in a tendency to backwardness in
their physical and mental develop
ment, to drunkenness, nervous dis
eases and crime. Even a single in
toxication may be disastrous for the
child begotten in this condition.
The delicate organism of the child
Is very susceptible to injury from al
cohol. Parents who give their chill
dren alcoholic drinks are guilty of a
sin toward them.
Workmen on the average spend
about one-tenth of their wages for al
coholic drinks. For the whole world
this would amount to over 1S,000,-
100000 crowns (S90,000, 900, 10000.
The consequences are disease, misery,
premature death, diminished working
ability, degeneration of the descend
ants, destruction of family life, want
and crime.
According to investigations on men
and animals, the experience of SOL
diers, sportsmen and explorers, 1t Is
proved that even the moderate use of
alcohol lowers working ability. that
1t is of no use in heavy work and
does injury by deadening the feeling
of fatigue.
The causes of alcoholism are: The
prejudices concerning the nourishing,
warming and stimulating effects of
alcohol; the drinking customs and
coercion to drink; still more, the
tendency of men to use narcotics to
dull the feeling of ill-humor connect
ed with many occurrences of life.
Since this feeling of iIl-humor is more
common among workmen than in
other classes, on account of long
hours, poor living conditions, insult
cient food, the lack of higher pleas
ures, etc., there also the feeling of
the need of alcohol is keener.
But therein lies the chief danger
for the workman, because alcohol
renders his misery supportable, him
ders him from taking part in efforts
to better his condition. deadens him
toward the fate of his associates.
Under present conditions the best
means for combating alcohol are:
education concerning the injury done
by alcohol, improved social condi-
tions. and most of all, personal alb
stinence from all alcoholic drinks and
the banding together of all who hold
these views.

"God Worketh I'm You. y

This implies the actual presence OF
God at the centre of our being. The
very simplicity of the words renders
them difficult OF understanding; for
no man understands the complex and
marvellous mechanism of his own per-
sonality. God worketh in you--not
outside. but in-in the place where
thought is born and the throne of the
will is set up and the affections have
their seat; in the inward shrine of the
being God worketh.-Campbell Nor

Why Take Ye Thought?

When Christ said, Take no
thought of the morrow" He laid
down rule that applies to spiritual
things as we'll as to material ones.
Our bodies grow just as we'll when we
do not spend our time in weighing
and measuring, and our ailments are
not cured by our thinking of them.
Certainly the body demands some
care, yet not much thought and still
less anxiety. The proper mixture of
work and rest and food will have its
effect just as surely If we go on with
our work, leaving health to care for
itself. Our souls demand even less
attention than our bodies. The man
who is always watching and bewail-
ing his shortcomings is a spiritual
hypochondriac, and the man who is
always counting and glorying over his
Christian triumphs is a boasting
Pharisee. Consider the lilies of the
field. If God so clothes the grass,
shall He not much more clothe you?
But did not Christ teach that we
must seek the kingdom of God and
His righteousness? Does not this
imply that we are to make the king
dom of God the object of our care?
II certainly does, but the kingdom
of God is something too great to be
shut in by one little life. He who
spends his time training his own soul
is not anxious about the kingdom of
God, but only about himself.
1t is not often that a man starves
on account of his anxiety to feed his
family. While he is earning living
for his household he incidentally
earns something for himself as we'll.
1t is not likely that any man ever
lost his soul on account of his anx-
iety to secure for others the blessings
of Gods kingdom. If he feeds 9TH
ers, God will not let him starve.
The disciples were very hungry when,
at the close of a long day, during
which the Master had not seemed to
even think of Himself or them, but
only of that very unpromising throng
of people, they came to Him and
said: Send them away. Let them go
to the villages and obtain food. There
is here hardly enough bread and
dried fish for our own supper" But
the Master would not have 1t so. That
little, wretched provision must be sac
rificed on that great multitude. It
was done, and 10! miracle. The
people were fed, and so were the dis
ciples.
Inese tnlngS are an allegory.
They are written for our instruction.
The soul that spends its time feeding
itself starves itself. The disciples are
fed with the fragments of the feast
they have furnished to others.
He that will save his life shall
lose it." There is no surer road to
spiritual bankruptcy than that of
spiritual avarice.
But has not Christ taught us to lay
up treasures in heaven?
Yes. lay them up in heaven, not in
your own soul. 1t is the cup of water
you give, not the one you drink, that
God counts.
If we take care of Gods kingdom
He will take care of our souls. If we
give the cup to the thirsty, He will
slake our thirst.
Neither the spiritual egoist nor the
spiritual egotist is rated very high in
the kingdom of heaven. God thinks
most of those who think of other pee-
pie. "The wretch concentered all in
self" misses everything that is worth
having in this world, and has no
promises for anything better In the
next.-Christian Advocate.

INJURED ON
AN ELEVATOR
John Pennington Was Hurt
Yesterday Afternoon.
ELEVATOR FELL.
Man Was Carried Down With It,
and It Was at First Feared He
Was Hurt Fatally.

Yesterday just about noon John
Pennington, who resides at IS Elm
street, ahd is employed at the B. S.
Ayars & Sons canning plant on Grove
street, was loading cans on the ele-
vator upon the second floor of their
brick building. He was standing upon
the lift" placing the cans and boxes
when suddenly the elevator became
loose and fell to the floor below.
Mr.. Pennington was struck on the
head, or rather, his head struck the
side timbers where the elevator fetched
up, and he was knocked senseless.
Walter Hubbard, fellow workman,
happened to come in at the door of
the building just as the elevator fell,
and rushing to the man found that he
was severely hurt and unconscious.
He lifted him from the elevator and
others came and he was laid upon the
floor all thinking he was fatally hurt.
DR.. Herbert Wilson was at nearby
house at the time attending patient,
and he was summoned.
The man soon regained conscious
ness. He was hastily examined by DR..
Wilson, who found him with a severe
scalp wound and a badly lacerated
ear and also with a sprained wrist
and suffering from shock. Mr.. Arthur
Ayars brought up his automobile and
Mr.. Pennington was placed in it and
taken to his home on Elm street.
Here the doctor gave him a more
thorough examination and found Mr..
Warrington had also received a
cracked rib.
Inc cause of the accident was from
the Drake Of the elevator becoming
loose, the jar of the shifting of the
boxes OF cans ulan it as they were
being loaded, finally shook the brake
so loose that it ceased N hold. and
the whole thing came down with a
crash.
Mr.. Pennington is about so years
of age. He will be laid up for time
by the accident.

RELIANCE TAKES
CLOSE GAME
Wins One More from Halev-
vile.
SCORE WAS 5 TO 8
Reliance Got Three Men Over in
the 9TH and Won Out by
Single Run.

In the 7th inning of yeterday's game
at the Park, the winning Reliance
team scored three men, and that
proved just sufficient TO win the con-
test Haleyville had tailed one in
the 1st, and another in the 9th, and
these two runs seemed to be enough
for Haleyville victory until the Re-
lance rally in the 7th.
The contest was bitter, hard fought
contest, and not until the end of the
9th was it at all certain who would
be the winners.
The Bailey twins were a little off in
fielding yesterday and this helped
Haleyville. Horner also made a bum
gle at third. Haleyville out-hit and
out-fielded the locals, but punched hits
won the game for Reliance.

ACTIVE WORK OF
CITY COLLECTOR
City Has Gained Much by
Mr.. McGear.
CLEAN DUPLICATES.
On Saturday Collector McGear Will
Make His Final Settlement
of Taxes.

Next Saturday, July Both, City Tax
Collector VIM. H. McGear, will make
his final settlement of the taxes for
1909.
All taxes unpaid by Saturday night
assessed against real estate, will
forthwith be collected by advertise
ment and sale of the property against
which the tax is assessed.
Collector McGear has sent a per-
sonal letter to each taxpayer who
has delayed the payment of the tax,
and it is encouraging to state that
there are but few-very few, who will
hav to undergo this inf1iction-prob-
ably less than a score
The tax collectors office of this city
has never before been in such
commendable and praiseworthy con-
dition as now; never have the taxes
been so closely collected, and never
has there been balance of unexpend-
ed tax collections left over as there
will be this year, of the 1909 taxes.
The balance in favor of the city
this year will be between $4,000 and
$4,000, after all appropriations have
been paid
Mr.. McGear has collected 1924, 900
of the 1909 disappearing an al
most clean tax duplicate; he has
collected $4,000 poll and personal tax
which has never before been collected
and all this without much bluster.
Of all the warrants issued for COL
lecting the poll and personal tax,
less than one dozen remain unserved
and uncollected.
The tax collector returned 243
names to the County Clerks Office in
February, for uncollected taxes, and
of these but few now remain unpaid.
He sent out 100 personal letters
notifying those delinquents, and they
have been coming forward and paying
up, and most of the others will pay
up before Saturday night.
Unlike it has been heretofore, the
law now gives the collector power to
buy in the properties which may be
sold for taxes, take possession i'm
mediately, dispossess the tenants or
owners, and rent the property and
collect the rents, until all taxes and
expenses shall have ben paid.
Mr.. McGear intends to enforce the
law.
Besides collecting $124,0O0 City
taxes for 1909, Mr.. McGear has col
lected some $500 taxes in previous
years, and also $4,000 City water
rents.
1t is doubtful if there is another
city the size of this whose tax office
can show so good record in this
State. 1t is good record and Mr..
McGear attributes it to the fact of
taking the tax collectors Office out of
politics He is modest.
