EXPERIENCES OF ONE NURSE
Baroness Won Hansen Tells Of Work
Performed Among Men In English
DISQUALIFICATION Is Joy.

Interesting echoes OF the great Anti
Alcohol congress held in London con-
tinue to come to hand.
Baroness Won Hansen, at the public
meeting by the congress, Is reported
to have given her own experience IN
temperance work as hospital nurse.
In the wards she found the men, as
they were recovering. very ready TO
listen and open to influence. She told
them that she was keen abstainer,
and why she was anxious to persuade
everyone else to be 30. Diagrams were
obtained showing the effect OF alco-
hol on the various orgaus. and hung
I'D where the men could see them.
and az she moved from one patient TO
another the baroness would explain
or draw attention to some point. 1t
was surprising how the interest grew,
and one after another resolved to
sign the pledge.
The baroness after giving some
touching incidents of such work
among the patients, proceeded to ex-
plain that her family had thought her
much too intent upon total abstinence,
and had therefore consented to her
taking up nursing in the hospital to
draw her thoughts in another direc-
ton, adding: But the stay In the
notwithstanding so much sickness and
disease that had come through the
drinking habits, made me keener than
ever. would could persuade all
nurses to become total sbstainers, to
learn all about this question, and to
speak gently and earnestly to the
patients, and explain why alcohol is
hurtful. We nurses have such great
opportunity, our patients are so ready
to learn, and we can do 30 much to
help them to better ways. There Is
great happiness to be found In this
work. I would like to have all sisters
and nurses in hospitals have keen
desire to take It up. We can very
greatly help this great temperance
reform. If each patient returns to
his home an abstainer. and keen to
persuade others, and to tell what our
sister told u.s. Then our labors VIII

DIRE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL
Prof. HaraId Westereaard, Noted Stat
lsticIan Of Copenhagen, Gives In
terestlne Figures.

The noted statistician. Prof. Harald
Westergaard Of the University OF
Copenhagen. is regarded as the great
est living authority on the statistics
of mortality. He has just given
course of lectures in Christiapia on
the relation of drink to death. which
throw a striking light on the practical
result which such a reduction In con-
sumption as that recorded In the Far.
oes, means for people. He says:
1.-THE influence Of alcohol on health is
far greater than We have hitherto
imagined"
According to the Just published TO
port of the Danish commission. or
every hundred deaths among Danish
men twenty-three are caused by alco-
hol. In the most valuable periods OF
life the mortality ,s even greater.
Thus:
Age. Male deashs.
35-40. 34.S in 100 are due to alcohol
4o-46. 81 in 100 are due to alcohol.
$3.50. 37.7 in 100 are due to alcohol.
6o-5b. 1877 In 100 are due to alcohol.
On the basis Of these government
figures, which are doubtless below the
actual level. as doctors are usually re-
luctant to report alcohol az the cause
OF death, Professor Westergaard' mas
worked out how much each Of the $780,
000, 900 potters of brandy consumed
yearly In Denmark shortens life. he
concludes this to be eleven hours. II
alcohol mortality, concludes Professor
Westergaard, could be eliminated a
man of twenty would have on the low
est average 1913 years to look forward
to instead OF 1874. Further, one-third
OF all the accidents In Denmark wouid
