TEMPERANCE.
Alcohol As Food And Medicine.
DR.. H. W. Wiley, Washing
ton. D. c..

think there is a marked ten
dency in the profession to regard
the virtues of alcohol as very
questionable. The old idea that
if one is going to expose himself
to extreme danger or extremes
Of climatic conditions, the body
should be fortified by the use of
alcohol, has disappeared. It is
quite certain now that alcohol
does not make one less apt to
freeze, bnt more so, and that it
does not give any such amount
of energy as to be at all COM
pensatory for the injury it may
produce. On the witness stand
I have stated that I considered
alcohol a food because a certain
quantity of it is burned in the
body, with the production of
heat and energy. In the light
of recent Investigations, how
ever, and from theoretic consid-
erations. I am inclined to the
opinion that the effort to rid the
body of even the small quantities
of alcohol mentioned may, per-
haps, consume a great deal more
energy than is furnished by its
combustion, and that, on the
whole, it..cannot be regarded as
a food, even in the limited sense
mere described. The suscepti-
bility to certain diseases of per-
sons addicted to alcohol has been
noted by many writer's, and the
records Of death by sunstroke
indicate that a very large per-
centage Of the victims are alco-
holics. The tendency which
alcohol has to weaken the bodily
assistance, therefore, is a mat
ter not to be left out Of consid-
Grafton. The general result of
the study of this problem has
been an accelerated movement
to restrict the use of alcohol in
medical practice, and especially
in hospital practice. Both as a
means of preventing disease and
as a remedy this agent is rapidly
falling into disrepute, so that it
bids fair to become merely a
memory in oua materia medica
and the pharmacopeia.

cially, it's bank deposits per cap

Educationally the South is back

states have one-sixth the popu-
lation of the United States, and
one-third Of all the illiteracy Of
the Union is to be found in these
twelve states.
Politically we are backward,
continued DR., White. Southern
brains founded the American
republic, and up to 1860 the
South furnished the chief just
ices of the United States. with
one exception. We were at the
head in those times, but the
purest American inherited Ca
pacity for governing is not exer-
cised as in other places. Morally
we are backward in attaining
good citizenship. Out of 246
lynchings all over the country,
all but ~ occurred in,the South,
showing our barbarism.
Now, said DR.. White, who
are the backward people? There
are 100000 people in the
twelve Southern states, and net

100000 are lifted in a safe

are the people who foster educa-

A STRONG
ADDRESS.
DR.. John E. White, Of Atlanta,
Before the Woman's Mission
ary Union at Anderson.

The subject of the doctors
address was the Backward
People of the South. :" He said
that he used the word back
ward with no invidious spirit,
bat felt that he had the right
to speak of the people that way
because he had spent many
years among them as an edu-
Gator and religious worker. He
also said that at the beginning
he desired his audience to under
stand that he was a Southern
man, born and reared, and that
what he said that night might
seem hard wasgsaid because OF
love for the Southland and be-
cause Southerns:men must say
them.
The orators of the past have
tickled the ears of the people by
telling them what a wonderful
people they were, and lauding
their virtues. Virtues speak for
themselves, but the true citizen
tells them their faults. He is
only a good Southerner who
wants the South to be right.
Said he, all of us are back

ter of Christ and the edge of

of here, striking the barn on
the Richard Dahl farm and
wrecking it. Mr.. Dahl was

at the time and was bruised
and scratched by the falling e
timbers. The horse was badly
hurt. Further east the cyclone
passed through a large grove
of timber and swept its path
clean, tearing the trees out by
the roots and carrying them a
great distance.

out of his barn and some dam
age done to machinery and
crops.

TOWNS HAD A NARROW ESCAPE

neau county was swept by six
cyclones on Sunday evening
between five and seven O'Clock
and the awful havoc wrought
includes four deaths, one fatal
ly injured and about thirty
others more or less seriously
hurt, besides a property dam
age that has been estimated as
high as 5000. 900 and will GER
tainly not fall below 100000.
Houses, barns and granaries
were wrecked, horses and cat
tie killed and grain fields strip
ped by the "twisters" and the
actual total of the damage
caused is hard to ascertain
with any degree of accuracy.
Late Sunday afternoon heavy
clouds formed east of Sherwood
and as they moved eastward
five separate cyclones formed
at about the same time, three
northwest of Antler and two
southwest and later another
came into light south of West
hope. The largest of these cut
a swath through the country
southwest of Antler, missed
the town by barely forty rods
and. turning north, bore down
on the Manning grove, the
pride of Antler' ruined the
pavilion, tore large trees out
by the roots and buried picnic
party beneath t h debris.
Twenty-Five persons were in
jured. two of them 50 seriously
that they died early Wednes
day morning and another i s
fatally injured. 1t is now be-
lieved that the others will sur
vive although some of them
are very seriously injured.
Another of these tornadoes
struck at John Patterson's 8 farm
four miles south of Souris and
killed Patterson's second son,
John, young man nearly
eighteen years old. Another
boy. William, received painful
injuries but is on the road to
complete recovery. The Pat
terson barn was unroofed and
otherwise damaged.
Another storm center was
east of Sherwood, at the west
ern edge of Bottineau county,
where the farm buildings of
Elmer Carlson were destroyed
and Margaret Carlson. aged
three, was killed. Mr.. Carlson
and another of his children
were seriously injured and at
first reported dead but it is now
believed they will recover.
North of Westhope several
farm buildings were destroyed
and number of people injur-
ed. Only one of these, Martin
Fryberg, was seriously hurt,
He was taken to hospital at
Westhope and was thought to
be dying but later. reports indi-
cate that he will recover. John
Cook, north of Westhope, lost
all his buildings. His machin-
cry was wrecked and some of
