Drinking is due more to state
of mind than it is to any effect of
the drug. In treating delirium
tremens it is the common practice
of physicians to gradually reduce
the amount of alcohol. Otherwise,
in private practice, there is a Ii
ability of the patients collapsing
Notwithstanding this experience,
at prisons where inmates know
they have sacrificed all "rights"
they can be stopped instantly
out any apparent evil effect. This
is no less true of drug fiends who
may have acquired a dependence
upon enormous doses of habit
forming drugs.
AS preventive of the drink
habit amongst moderate drink
ers," it's a good rule not to take
a drink when one feels that he
needs it. Whatever may be said
for or against drinking as a social
custom, taking bracers is an ex-
ceedingly dangerous practice.
physicians recognise that "feel
ing tired" is frequently syrlp-
tom of nervous collapse. Institut-
ing one bad mental attitude for
the cure of another is a mighty
bad and dangerous practice. On
the other hand, it's good practice
to acquire a harmless or even good
habit to offset a beginning or es-
tablished bad one.

CURING THE DRINK HABIT

CURING THE DRINK HABIT
A business man formed the hab-
it of leaving his office each morn
ing about eleven o'clock to get a
drink at nearby bar. One morn
ing, when he was in a great hur-
ry, he dashed into a nearby drug
store and bought an ice cream
soda.
Much to his surprise, he found
the drink quite as satisfying. AS
result, he changed his cockta
habit into an ice cream soda habit.
He's been on the new drink now
for six months and feels safe
enough, and so gratified that he
no longer hesitates to tell about
what he considers to have been a
narrow squeeze.
Sociologists and government in
vestigators have reported as a
fact that much drinking amongst
the poorer classes is due to unre-
cognized craving for food. I'm
doubtedly a great deal of the
eleven o'clock and five o'clock
"thirst" amongst businessmen is
hunger instead of thirst. A some

acquaintance insists that a choco-

Of course there is limit to the
extent to which food can success
fully be substituted for drink.

UNIQUE VALUE OF ELASTICITY

A SAND blast consists of stream OF
sand and compressed air shot from
nozzle, and is used for polishing or cutting
hard materials or cleaning paint off metals,
etc. 1t is also used for etching figures on
glass. Now the question arises as to what
the glass is covered with in those parts
that are to remain free from etching.
A thin sheet of rubber is used, it having
been found that the sharp sand particles
will rebound from the rubber, although cut
ting deeply into the. glass. As rubber is
much softer than glass. it seems more or
less peculiar. The explanation lies in the
fact that the sand particles striking the
rubber take a longer time to stop than those
striking the glass, and it is a law of mechan-
les that the longer it takes given body to
stop the smaller the force exerted on the
object struck.
This is a well known phenomenon in
other ways a player catches a baseball
with a backward swing of his hand instead
of holding it rigid. The mitt itself allows
the ball some time to stop before the stuffing
A pair of eyeglasses dropped on carpet do
sidewalk from the same height. They have
the same amount of energy to be destroyed
by the body that stops them, for they fall
from the same height; but the carpet took
longer to stop them than the cement.
The same reasoning applies when a man
is hit on the jaw and on the fleshy part of
the arm with the same amount of force in
each blow: damage is done to the jaw, but
not to the arm. Thus if fat man be kicked,

TRAVELLING BAG

OLIVER P. NEWMAN, chairman of the
~ Board of Commissioners of Washing
ton, d. c., and Louis Brownlow, a world
wide traveller, are boon companions.
After the last presidential election New
man, then political writer, was ordered to
accompany President-elect Wilson to Ber-
muda. He promptly wired Brownlow for
the use of travelling bag which had been
round the world several times and was en-
tirely covered with foreign labels. Pos
session of the bag, Newman felt, would
show him to be eligible for membership in
the Round the World Club
In due time a crate was carried into New
mans apartment in New York. With pleas
ant thoughts of the impression the bag
would make on the presidential party, New
man unpacked the crate. Before him was
a bag as immaculate as his own new suit
case. Newman wired Brownlow:

Brownlow's reply was:

THE JUSTICE OF MERCY

to deserters from the army and navy, are
known as acts of executive clemency,
derivation of the pardoning power
Pardons have been granted for all sorts
of offenses. Looking over the list one finds
murders, opium smuggling, embezzllng ma
tional bank funds, stealing United States
property, selling liquor to Indians, pos
session of plates for printing government
obligations, carrying on the business OF
retail liquor dealer without having paid the
special tax required by law, using the mails
to defraud, unlawfully opening and de-
stroying a letter, illicit distilling, violation
of immigration laws, perjury before a referee
in bankruptcy, robbery, forgery, perjury,
counterfeiting, and others.
Bud Ewers and George Pollock, farmers
in Western Kentucky, carried on the bust
ness of retail liquor dealers without having
paid the special tax required by law. Each
was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail
at Paducah, and fine of 500. 1t appeared
that this was their first violation of the
law, and it was stated as ground for clem-
ency that if they were obliged to serve
their full terms of imprisonment they
would be unable to make a crop for the
wear. The sentences were commuted to eX-
pire at once upon payment of the fines.
Victor Ferrante, from Northern New
York, was sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary at Atlanta for having in his
possession plates for printing government
obligations His pardon was recon-
mended by the trial judge and the United
States attorney, and in view of their rec
ommendation and of the petitioners ex-
cellent record before his conviction, and
the fact that if guilty (Which was denied
by his codefendants) the sentence was un-
duly severe for a first offense, the sentence
was commuted to expire at once. He served
a little more than year.
IN Texas the vice president of Dallas
national bank personally borrowed S. 600
from Chicago bank. When the note came
due he wrote to the Chicago institution
directing that the amount of the note be
charged to the bank of which he was an
official. He did not secure his own bank
or put up his own note until long afterward.
He claimed to have secured consent of the
board of directors to allow him this credit,
which statement was affirmed, and the
failure to put up his note was charged to an
oversight on the cashiers part. However,
he was sentenced to five years in the Leav-
enworth penitentiary on the charge of mis-
application of funds of national bank and
making false reports to the Comptroller of
the Currency. The sentence was COM
muted to year and day because claim
Was made that prisoner was not guilty of
any intentional wrongdoing.
Richard Dickens was found guilty in
Arizona of giving Intoxicating liquor to an
other Indian, and sentenced to sixty days
in the county jail at Phoenix and a fine of
500. This was test case, brought to
break up custom inimical to the welfare
of the Mohave Apache Indians on the Fort
Mcdowell Indian Reservation. The SEN
tence was dated back in order that the de-
fendant should not be imprisoned, and the

application made in his behalf by the dis
trict attorney was for a remission OF the
fine. The question sought to be decided
by the verdict in the case was whether "tis-
win was an Intoxicating liquor. The fine, of
course, was renntted, although the passing
of sentence automatically established that
the liquor was intoxicating.
Charles R. Heike was sentenced to the
penitentiary at Blackwell's Island and fined
$1,000 for making and effecting the entry
of dutiable sugar at less than the true
weight. This was the celebrated sugar case
which kept New York on the gni vise for
several years. but the Communication of SEN
tence by President Taft two days before he
left the White House gave rise to report
that the pardon was granted because OF
pull" and wealth, and that the petitioners
physical condition was merely hoax. On
the contrary, Heike's health, at the time
application was made for his pardon, was
in a precarious condition, according to re-
ports of eminent physicians Reporting
upon the application for clemency, the trial
judge stated that when the prisoner took
the witness stand to explain various letters
he was seriously handicapped by his inabll-
ity to speak otherwise than rapidly, and he
had strong German accent; so that it
was difficult if not impossible for the jury
if the jury had been able fully to COM
prehend the defendants evidence as a wit
ness it might have raised a doubt in their
minds as to his guilt. The sentence was
therefore commuted to the fine and costs
imposed.
Of the cases acted upon last year not one
was decided other than on its merits, and
favoritism in the granting of pardons, | re-
peat, is unknown. If we look over the list
of the pardons granted last year, we shall
find names of millionaires and cobblers, of
business men and clerks. A mans charac
ter before the crime is an important fea-
ture; the severity of the sentence IS another.
One locality is not favored over another.
Politics, fortunately, does not enter into
this great duty. New York and Montana,
Maryland and California, Oregon and Ohio,
New Mexico and Washington, Alaska and
Texas, all figure in the pardon statistics.
The principle in granting paroles or par
dons is to temper justice with mercy, to
feel that the man who has committed a
crime is not always necessarily criminal,
and that likewise the criminal may redeem
himself. Because a man is punished for
wrongdoing it does not follow that his life
should be wasted,-if the crime is such as
to require a lesser punishment, though a
capital sentence be imposed. Of course not
all capital cases, or cases calling for SEN
tences of upward of ten years imprison-
ment are such as to be worthy of the good
offices of the President for pardon; but
at all events the circumstances are investi-
gated. Every man shall have the supple
mentary justice, if he applies for pardon,
of having his case investigated and it
seems to me that that justice of pardonable
nature which passes upon that justice of
Furnishing nature, and reviews the latter
with aim Of making justice doubly just, is
the best.
