Alcohol Reduces Physica! Force.

Professor Graham Lusk, of Cornell
Medical college. in the Popular
Science Monthly for April shows the
profound effect which alcohol has
upon the central nervous system. He
says there are two theories with re-
gard TO its action.
BY some il is considered stimu-
liant, by others it is thought always to
cause depression. Small amounts OF
alcohol may bring about an increased
sense of liVeliness and a general feel
ing of we'll being which is most pro-
nounced when the lights are bright,
and the company congenal. Larger
quantities induce REORGANIZATION of
speech and movement, whereas still
Larger quantities result in complete
anesthesia which may be fatal to the
individual. For the first few min
utes after taking alcohol it has been
found that larger quantity of physi-
cal work may be performed This is
followed however. by n period of de-
preston during which the quantity Of
mechanical energy which may be ex-
pended by the individual is greatly re-
duced. The sum total of the effect is
very decidedly 10 reduce the amount
Of mechanical work which can be ac-
complished during the day. 1t is on
tHfE account that alcohol is
given to soldiers on the march in the
hope Of increasing their endurance.
The actual result would be quite the
contrary. Experiments regarding the

who is in favor of the employment of

the cause of woman suffrage; every
man who is opposed to tduCatiun

is opposed to woman suffrage: every

BELIEVE PEOPLE APPROVE
TAFT'S MEXICAN COUP.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-President
Taft continued today to discuss the
Mexican situation with senator's and
representatives. He talked the matter
over at some length with Senator War
rem, of Wyoming, chairman of the Sem
ate committee on military affairs.
While the situation was reported as
being so grave that President Taft
would not have hesitated to move the
army to the border, even at a large de-
ficiency, Mr.. Taft was much gratified
to learn that the cost had not been so
great as has been generally supposed.
Representative Foster, of Vermont,
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
mittee of the House in the last Con-
gress, also talked with the President
today and declared that he thoroughly
approves of all that the President has
done, and he believes that the people
of the United States share in that opin-
ion. Senator Jones, of Washington, ex-
pressed a similar view.
