Philadelphia, May 10.-Miss Anna
Jarvis, the mother of mothers day,
adjusted a cushion and a foot stool to
insure my comfort before turning to
pour tea.
"Please," she urged, smiling an
apology, Il had so much rather talk
about mothers day than Of myself.
The flush of innate shyness rose to
the line of her pale hair and her
trusting eyes turned invountarily to
a portrait above The hearth.
"That is my mother" said Miss
Jarvis simply
"She was mother to II children. |
was her baby. II is seven years since
we lost her. This was her sitting
room, these her things"
The big home-like room flooded with
sunlight was crowded with womanly
possessions, deep chairs by the open
fire, luxuriant plants in the generous
window garden. huge Canton jar Of
poupouri, low tables and baskets for
unending needlework and books,
books everywhere.
"People think that the loss of a
mother falls heaviest ON children"
said Miss Jarvis gently, "but, really.
it is only the grown daughters and
sons who understand.
"This mothers day movement
making the second Sunday in May
sacred to mothers-had nothing be-
hind it but my belief in men and wom-

NATIONAL MENACE IN FRANCE
Country Is IN Danger of Death from
Drink-Army Corps is Lost Each
Year Through Alcohol.

The French National league against
alcoholism declares that France is in
danger of death from drink: Alcohol
desolates our most beautiful prov
inces, Normandy, Brittany, the
Vosges, Picardy, Maine. In Orne the
decrease of population has been $4,000
in twenty-five years, in Manche $4,000.
in Normandy 100000. Infant mortal
ity is appalling, and conscripts by
scores are found unfit for service. .
In Orne. one report states, 81 per
cent of those summoned to the col
ors were rejected. in March, so per
cent, in the Vallee des Vosges, 60
per cent, and the drink evil is large.
ly responsible. The military authori.
ties calculate that France loses an
army corps each year through alcohol
DR.. Jaques Bertiilon, the famous
criminologist, who has made astonishl
ing researches into the relation of al
cohol to tuberculosis, estimates, in
the Revue de tuberculosis, that sue
cessful fight against alcohol in France
would reduce the number of deaths
from consumption yearly by some 49,
900 more What steps can be taken
are being discussed by the authori
ties in some localities, but widespread
scientific education on the subject OF
the baneful effects Of alcohol must be
promoted before a radical change for
the better can be looked for in France

LIQUORS AS FORM OF POISON
Produce Abnormal Conditions Of Cir
eulatory System and Destroy Func-
tions by Subtle Paralysis.

II reports are to be trusted Profess
sor Whitney, of Wesleyan university,
proves that liquors are poisonous after
all the alcohol has bsen extracted
from them. The "old nick" seems to
remain in liquors when nothing but
the odor Is left The Scotchman's
verdict is that whisky is good in its
place. If you want to preserve dead
man put him in whisky. If you want
to kill live man, put whisky in him.
Professor Whitney, like Professor At
water, contends that alcohol is food,
that it raises the temperature Of the
body. He might have added it raises
Cain at the same time. We prefer to
believe that alcohol is a miserable de-
ceiver, and whosoever is deceived
thereby Is not wise. Professor Jor-
dan says liquors make you feel warm
when you are not warm, seem TO
yourself wise when you really are
quite simple. The experiments IN
Russia, where liquors are used as a
supposed substitute for food, have
proved that liquor has the direct eff
feet of releasing the blood from the
heart and arteries and flushing the
surface Of the body, producing the
temporary effect of bodily warmth
but in reality weakens by form Of
paralysis the whole circulatory sys-
TEN. We think the government tests
not only of the United States but OF
the leading nations of Europe can be
relied upon. These experts agree that
liquors are form of poison. pro-
ducing abnormal conditions IN the cir
culatory system and in comparative
of the smaller, finer vesicles of the
circulatory system by form Of subtle
paralysis The man who takes even
one drink can never be the perfect
physical man. The physical effects
are matters of observation. The men
tai prospective is changed. The finer
restraints, the self-inspection, the self
judgment, the bashfulness, a real quail
ity Of growing manhood and growing
womanhood, are broken down. The
flush Of liquor sweeps away these fine
spiritual barriers, and the young man
finds himself without moral harness
and under the hallucination of this
paralysis of his higher. truer. better
impulses, he enjoys" making a wild
fool Of himself It is not due to the
stimulus of liquor hut to the release
from the self-controlling apparatus of
his system. Liquor does not really
stimulate, but really paralyzes re-
straint. 1t is primarily a form of
physical death, incipient death to the
circulatory system in and around the
nerves. This, We believe, is the con-
sensus of scientific scholarship as
reached by government experts in
this country and in Europe. This view
has the authority Of experiment and
observation. The effect is not tenn
porary and recoverable. The effect is
absolute death to a percentage of the
circulatory system. One drink of
liquor absolutely changes the physical
equipment Touch not,-California

convention.
The fact came out Wednesday
when Curtis II. McLain, member
of the state advisory board, read a
paper entitled Financial Prob
lens of Road Construction" in
which he advocated the initiation
of a state law providing for the
financing of road building through
out the state. 1t was when the
meeting was thrown open for dis.'
cussion that the general opposi.
ton to bond Issue for the pur-
pose became manifest. There was
no vote taken on the question,
however, and as consequence
the convention did not go on rec
ord regarding it; but large ma
jority Of the delegates went home
ready to recommend the initiation
of the tax levy bill to their con-
stituents. The petition will prob
ably be introduced at the next
me citing of the state good roads
association and county commits

it may be presented for vote at

commission with more authority
regarding the building Of roads by
the convict system.
Instead of leaving the matter
up to the counties of the state,
would give the commission tn g
power to compel the building OF
roads," he declared. "By this
means we could place large gangs
ON one road, and drive it through
in comparatively short time. 1t
would mean trunk roads built en-
tirely through the state. The ex-
pense would be scarcely any more
since Is men can be taken care of
just as easily as 30, the present
average number to camp. 1t is
no more trouble for guard. or
two guards as we have altogether,
to watch the larger than the
smaller.
Captain Baldwin, road overseer
of Convict Camp No. l, read an
interesting paper entitled "Prac-
tical Road Construction" 1t was
filed with the practical details of
road building, especially with ref
ence to tine problems that con-
front the workmen in the noun
tain districts. He advocated the
use Of cement drainage pipes, pro-
viding that they are manufactured
on the ground to save transporta-
ton expense, and declares that
the pipes should be placed before
the grading is even c)mmenced.
His paper aroused much discus
sion and numerous questions were
asked him by other delegates pre-
sent. The practical nature of the
gathering was brought to the fore
by the many queries, which in
volved technicalities unfamiliar to
the layman, and indicated that all
present were men who had had ac-
tual experience in road building
Captain Baldwin has had pro-
nounced success in his work, and
his opinions carried weight.
A statewide half mill tax levy
for the creation of road building
fund, rather than bond issue for
the same purpose, was the plan
favored by a heavy majority of the
delegates to the Road Builders
