Mr.. Force admitted that his family

exceedingly nervous as the result OF
the protests being made. His fam
lily are EpiscOpalian communicates, he
said, but for the past two years his

cause they had been travelling much
abroad and in this country.
For the last couple OF years. he
said, Mrs. Force and the two girls
have been travelling. without affiliat-

were confirmed in an Episcopal
Church. This is terrible that a min
lister should give out a statement of

The government of Simon didn't have

lot of greenhorns TO fight. These were
mostly boys and old men. who were
afraid of a gun. Whenever an attack
was expected the army would begin
10 shoot off their cartridges in the
air, and by the time they really needed
them they didn't have any left. About

Alcohol and Degeneratfvc Disc,


Although il was long thought that
the mortality from tuberculosis ex-
ceeded that resulting from any other
disease in this country il has recently
been ascertained that there is another
disease or group of diseases usually
occurring together in the same sub
ject which not only has far greater
mortality record, but is rapidly in
creasing.
This is the group known as degener-
atiVe diseases. consisting of heart and
kidney diseases and arterio- sclerosis,
the latter disease of the blood vessels
resulting from indiscretions in habits
and diet, which so weaken the vessel
walls that when excessive business
strain, worry or excitement of any
sort occurs increasing the blood press
ure, the result may be a rupture of
the vessel and the occurrence Of apo
plexy-a common cause of death of
many Of our most prominent profess
sional and business men.

discharged cOnvicts. He is trying. too
to form inside the walls Organiza-
tons among the men to help each

This is sensible and practical and
remarkable. 1t gives the first instance
we believe, Of convict planning and

movement for the prevention of crime
and the reformation of criminals. We
have known OF eX-conVicts who gave
time and labor and money to aid the
task Of retaining convicts, hut never

such work.
Ruef has an active. restless. ener-
getic mind. Always he has been busy
with something, usually devising a
scheme of deviltry, arranging tC
swindle or plumber or punish Some
body or to increase his own political
or financial power. Now he is locked
up and has become intensely busy do
ing good and helping others. Human
nature is curious apparatus. We dc
