Unquestionably it is big gain for
temperance when the managers of
large corporations, like the railroads,
make a rule that their employees
must keep sober. But it is a big
ger gain when the employees them

keep sober Such is the Significance

after twenty-five years practice: 1T
is difficult to find any part in the
confirmed beer drinkers machinery
that. is doing it's work as it should.
This is why their life cords snap off
like glass rods when disease or &C
cident gives them a little blow. Beer
drinking shortens life. This is not
mere opinion; it is a well-settled,
recognized fact. Physicians and in
surance companies accept this as I'M
questionably as any other undisputed
fact of science. The great English
physicians decide that the hearts ac-
ton is increased 10 per cent in it's
efforts to throw off alcohol introduced
into the circulation. The result is
easily figured out. The natural pulse
beat is 76 per minute If we multi
ply this by so an hour, and "a hours
in day, and add 13 per cent, we find
that the heart has been compelled
to do an extra work during that time
in throwing off the burden of few
drinks equal to 1916 tons lifted one
foot high.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
BEER AND LONG LIFE.

The President of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company has
for years been investigating the rela-
ton of beer drinking to longevity,
and he declared, as the result of a
series of observations carried on
among a selected group of persons
who were habitual drinkers of beer,
that although for two or three years
there was nothing remarkable, yet
presently death began to strike, and
then the mortality became astound-
ing and uniform in it's manifestations.
There was no mistaking it. The his.
tory was almost invariable. Robust,
apparent health, full muscles, fair
outside, increasing weight, fiorid
faces; then a touch of cold or a sniff
of malaria, and instantly some acute
disease, with almost invariable ty-
phoid symptoms, was in violent action,
and ten days or less ended it.
