SMALL DOSES ARE INJURIOUS
Maintained That Temperance or Self
Control 10 Promoted by Total
Abstinence From Alcohol.

The immediate effects of small doses
of alcohol on the nervous system have
only been demonstrated comparatively
recently, says an English temperance
publication. Prof. Victor Horsley has
lectured on the action of alcohol on
the brain and nervous system, and has
quoted the experiments of kraepelin,

though not consciously so to the per-
o affected. These have been con-
irmed by DR.. Kellogg and others. DR..
Schmidt and DR.. Furer have published
elaborate tables of numerous expert
ments CD the action Of alcohol upon
mental operations, such as learning
by heart. associations, requiring chief
~ automatic movements, were at first
rendered easier, yet these were soon
done with increasing difficulty, while
the higher associations were, from the
FIRST, enfeebled.
The increase of automatic actions
Is no proof Of stimulation. All such
actions are performed more readily
when the attention is not fixed upon
them. 1t Is az would be the case

of the many fatal accidents which

1t is quite natural that Beaumont

 Mullins Out on Bail.

Westport, Aug. 1.-The raising of the grade of the trolley tracks by the Con- 'necticut Company from State street in- to Riverside avenue will have consid- erable effect on the future drainage of the street at that point. The trolley company has received the grade of the street from the state highway de- partment and is carrying out those specificatio tions. There is a noticea ble change, raise of about three or four inches. The increase in the grade also will have a great effect on traffic, bringing about tendency on the part of automobilists to keep to the side of the road and off the tracks The company has made rapid progress with the laying Of the new tracks. on the Saugatuck bridge, completing the tear ing up of the old and the replacing of the new yesterday afternoon.

COMMITTEE OF AUDIT

The committee on audit seems to have submitted a simple and under standable plan for keeping records of appropriations. It's accompanying criticism of the existing system is temperate and just. k
 The monthly statement does not in- form the citizens of the condition of the budget in the month for which it is made and it does not show the money available to the specific ap- propriations, remaining in the treas ury.
 It is, as the committee says, an account of authorizations to disburse instead of an account of expense, which is as if a business man should record upon the monthly balance sheet only those debts for which he had drawn checks, instead of making a record of all his liabilities.
 The June statement is more nearly a statement for May, and does nor represent any actually existing con- dition of the budget
 The system of municipal account ing is an inheritance from the past, and will bear great deal of improve ment.
 Departmental appropriations under the new plan are divided into eleven classifications, so that all expense of the city for similar items will fall un-

HELPING IMMIGRANTS.

Education in American standards of living is being given the immigrants of Bnffalo by a group of 15 women, working under the Buffalo Committee of the North American Civic League for migrants. The manner in which these lessons in living are imparted to the foreign born, as well as the re- suits obtained, are, described in a bull letin just issued for free distribution by the United States Bureau of Edu- cation. Says the bulletin:
 '"The domestic educa tors go directly into the homes of such families as are willing to receive them There. they show the housewife how to keep her home clean, how to cook, how to vary the diet, how to get the most for her money, how to prevent sickness how to sew, how to take care of the chill dren; in fact, all or nearly all phases of home making are taken up and thoroughly demonstrated.

People of this coun- try are not as familiar with the life and public services of the emperor, who died at Tokio, as they are with the characteristics and achievements o4 some other rulers, but those who do sxnowi what Mutsuhito accomplished have no hesitancy in placing him among those, who have the most irn- portant impressions upon human his tory.
 TO lead a nation from feudalism to liberty is a wonderful accomplishment and it was the wisdom and farsight- edness of the emperor that has been largely instrumental in placing Japan in the front rank of the nations of the world.
 The changes that have taken place since Mutsuhito assumed the throne have been wonderful and it is not strange that he was beloved by his subjects and respected by the world, as a wise and fearless statesman

Echoes of the Titanic.
NeW London Day.l

Every now and then, in the busy hum of the workaday world, there comes a reminder that the Titanic tragedy is not yet finished, of the many who yet mourn and whom the lapse of time has not yet comforted. Yesterday the mother of Jacques Futrelle, who lost his life with the other brave men who went down that fateful day, died of a broken heart. So long as there was faint prospect of her sons return hope sustained her. When his wife arrived and told the circumstances which made it inn possible that the author had been res .cued, the mother gave up hope, and slowly life ebbed out.
 Three widows of a trio of the more prominent passengers who went down formed a pact of friendship and not long ago dined together in memory of their husbands.

 MT. Taft is sc steeped in melancholy that he accuses MT. Wilson, and the third party leaders of being steeped in socialism. He says that what they want to do involves a forced divis- ion" of property which is something nowhere economically justified or at- tempted.
 The state does intend to prevent trusts and other predatory combina- tions from robbing the people. But it is not a forced division" of prop erty to stop theft.
 We sadly fear that it is President Taft, and men of the type supportins him who are making forced divis- ion'' of property.
 That is precisely what theft does, and the institutions which the presl- dent so zealously supports are many of them institutions of organized loot.
 President Taft can scarcely have read the story of the steel trust. which is told in the investigation of the Stanley committee, or, if he has read it, his reading has been without profit. The Steel trust is daily fore ing the public to divide It's property with the trust.

Raise Efficiency Standard
(Ansonia Sentinel. ]

Connecticut industries, department stores and other concerns employing child labor will ned to take notice
 of new law which goes into effect on August 1 in this state and which will make it more difficult for chill dren between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years to secure certif1- cates for employment. The new law
 makes necessary more stringent and thorough examination of children ap- plying for certificates than has been the case in years past, and the object of it is to raise the standard of edu- cation and of efficiency among this class. State Agent Charles N. Hall says that it is not the purpose of the law to prevent children from secur- ing employment, but to see that such children as do get certificates have sufficient education to meet a. certain standard of requirement." He adds further: Ut is probable that the ed ucational test or examination will be more stringent as the time goes on and each year will see, undoubtedly a harder examination for the appli- cant to go through. This will have the tendency to keep children from the fields of labor when they should be kept from them. It is wrong that children, so the state board of educa-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-08-01

ton believes, be put to work at an early age at the sacrifice of an edu- cation.'' t,
 It may seem at the first that this plan will work hardship, upon some who are necessarily forced to seek em- ploynent in order to help out the fam fly income, but: thoughtful considera- ton of the plan will reveal that in the long run it must work out to the advantage both of the children imme- diately concerned and to the perma- nent advantage, also, of their employ CTS. With the reQuired standard of education once secured, the future of the child will be worth a great deal more both to himself and to his pa- rents and the reliability and efficiency of this class of employees will be ac- cordingly increased. It IS @ plan which counts for increased intelli- ygence and consequently to increased usefulness, such as should bring coz responding increases in remuneration and in permanency- of position. More over, knowledge that the state stand ard in this respect has been raised will doubtless spur the ambitious ones to make 7an early effort to acquire it, and in this praiseworthy work all weN-meaning parents will willingly co-oDnr4te
