TOTAL ABSTINENCE is BEST
Dr.. Fulton, Noted English Expert, Lee
lures on "AlcohoI and TubercuIo-
sis"-Drink Causes Poverty,

At the Tuberculosis exhibition, held
at Nottingham, England, DR.. Fulton, a
noted expert, lectured to a large au-
d'ence On alcohol and tuberculosis"
DR.. Fulton said that there was some
connection. direct and indirect, be.
tween alcohol and consumption. An
indirect way In which the two we're
connected was that alcohol was instru-
mental in placing people in unhealthy
surroundings, with insufficient food.
He would also show that there was
scientific evidence that there was a
direct connection between the two. AL
cotfol was an indirect cause Of con-
sumption, mainly because 1t was a
cause OF poverty. He had long since
come to the conclusion that it was not
poverty that caused drink, but drink
that caused poverty and dirt. People
who were poor did not live in such good
rooms as others. and they were often
~overcroWded, and infection was the
more dangerous under these condi-
lions. Money, too, was often spent on
alcohol which should be spent on food
and clothing. The difficulty of dealing
with a consumptive who was addicted
to alcoholism was instanced by the
lecturer, who spoke of the appetite
being ruined by drinking bouts. Alco-
hol predisposed to consumption by
lowering the vitality of the body, and
thus lessening its power of resistance
to disease germs. Experiments had
been made on animals which proved
that alcohol did reduce the resistance
OF the body to disease. Medical men
admitted that it did in cases of pneu-
men1a, erysipelas, and blood poison.
ing; and yet some would not admit 1t
In cases of consumption, although the
diseases differed only in detail. Post.
mortem examination had also
strengthened this argument. In con.
.c%lusion, he illustrated the benefits of
total abstinence on health, and com
pared insurance tables on this subject,
showing the benefits of abstinence
principles and practice.

SYSTEM IN PARK BUILDING
Few Cities Have WeIl-BaIanced, Well.
Developed System of Public
Parks,

II a city is to have parks, a careful
study of the problem will convince
any student of municipal development
that the parks should be acquired in
accordance with a general system.
Many cities have n or more parks
in which their citizens may justly
take pride. but comparatively few of
these cities have what can properly
be called a comprehensive, well-bal-
anced and welldeveloped system Of
parks, a system which will compare
favorably as to completeness with, for
instance, the system of public schools,
or the system of fire protection and
other principal departments of the
city government. The backwardness
of municipal park systems is not so
much due to lack of public inte!li.
gence and public spirit, as to a de-
fective development Of the love of
beauty, as compared with a we'll,
developed appreciation of practical,
unitarian progress. 1t not infrequent.
ly happens that the sections of a city
in which the population is most dense
and most in need of squares, play
grounds and local parks, are almost
wholly devoid of these advantages be-
cause no well-balanced system has
been devised and carried out while
and was sufficiently cheap and com.
.paratively unoccupied so that now
the expense is %prohibitory.

German Scientists by Chemical Treat

The Germans are a remarkable peo-

KING WARNS AGAINST DRINK
One Of Most Powerful Rulers Of South
Africa Cautions His People Against
Use Of Alcohol.

Words of warning against alcoholic
drink formed part of the kingly adj
dress of one of the most powerful ma
tive rulers of South Africa at a great
celebration lately held to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of his acceptance
Of Christianity. This ruler is King
Kama of the B~amangwato, in Bechu-
analand, South Africa. FIfty-one years
ago Kama came in touch with a Ger
man missionary preaching and teach
Ing among the native Bechuanas in the
old native capital of the Bamangwato,
at Shoshong, and accepted the new
faith. A year later he came to his
own as king and ruler of the Bamang-
wato, and became at once so active in
promoting the spread of Christianity
among his people that at length the
whole great territory over which he
ruled came under its sway.
Kama, now an aged man. but still
the happy ruler of his Christian sub
jects. has recently held at Serowe. his
capital, a week of festival for his
Christian jubilee, attended by multi
tudes of his native subjects and by
many mission workers and distin-
guished white visitors from all parts
of South Africa. After a great milf
tary parade of the kings troops. Kama
within a retinue of eight thousand Be-
chuanas, attended a great thanksgiv-
Ing service, where a multitude of H.
600 assembled, where official felicita-
tons were presented. and where q
younger brother of the king, speaking
for the whole nation, reviewed the
great transformation for good that has
taken place in the tribal life and GUS
toms under Kama's rule. Chief among
the good results noted was the exclu-
sion OF alcoholic drink from the land.
n drink evil had been well-known In
their land, and while it was not yet
entirely suppressed, the traffic could
no longer flourish and was made H.
legal. Kama himself made a striking
address and warned his people against
drink as the great enemy of their
happiness and progress" Thanking the
white people for their friendship and
help, he begged them to guard their
darker brothers of the native race
from the destruction wrought through
the traffic in strong drink. Alcoholic
drink constitutes a menace Of utmost
danger to its users in cold climates
and holds decidedly a similar menace
for those of warm climates-whether
white or black.

great naturalist, one hid a purse OF
gold in a field 20 as to convince his
secretary of the absurdity of the di

find the money, and Linnaeus, to his
disgust, could not identify the spot
where he had hidden it. In the end
an expert in d%ivination was sent for,
whose rod led him unerringly to
where the gold was concealed, greatly
to the relief Of the naturalist and the
amusement of his secretary.
