ABOUT EFFICIENCY.

Temperance work today is very prac-
teal as compared with the sentiment
tai exhortations of yesterday. In
these davs when efficiency" is so gen.
eral watchword in the world of bust
ness and labor. we are finding not so
directly that a man is a knave who
drinks to excess. or even at all, as
that he is fool. A runner who ties
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain II is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an oc-
casional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work OF both his
hands and his mind, while the habi.
tual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel of the new temperance

Hoods Sars aparilla
:" Fast Unitinu.

To use an old phrase which fits the
situation perfectly, condition, not a
theory, confronts those who have been
striving to prevent the union of the
two great parties which ought to
stand together against the Democratic
organization now in control Of the ma
tional government and supreme in
many states where it has the support
of only q minority of the voters.
While the opponents of Progressive
and Republican amalgamation are
talking against it, the union is actual
ly taking place. 1t becomes more and
more apparent that nothing can keep
It from going on until the two parties
become in effect one, with only few
irreconcilable extremists left outside
of the camp.
There will be getting together of
Republicans and Progressives which
will leave little room for dissension
and strife in the years to come. No
man, no group OF men, can prevent
this natural welding of political forces
which are working for the same pur-
poses, toward a common goal.

RISKS TAKEN BY MODERATE

TWO surgeons stood over a man who
was near death from taking an anaes-
thetic-so near that both believed he
would never pull through. They did
heroic work to save him, and for
some time 1t seemed their efforts
would be in vain. LIES current ebbed
and flowed and sometimes seemed to
cease entirely. So tense were the mo-
ments that the sweat stood on their
foreheads. At last there was faint
glimmer of hope, and when it was
seen that death for a time had been
beaten, one of the doctors, a leader
In his profession in this county, stood
up and said; "The longer l practice
medicine, the more clearly l see that
the. use Of alcohol is hurtful to the
human body" The man had not been
drunkard. He had been what is
called moderate drinker" Whisky

FACTOR IN Academic.

of very startling accidents have been

this fact Is suppressed, since, II known,

OF Hartford. Conn, who has made q
study of alcohol's connection with re-
cent disasters, gives some Of his find
ings In investigating the causes Of
railroad and steamship casualties, fac
tory explosions, fires, automobile &C
c1dents and the like. We quote:
Laboratory studies and the asser-
tons of the most competent experts
testify to the fact that no appreciable
dose Of alcohol Is safe to the human
body. To many men this seems a
very extravaganza claim and seemingly
contradicted by experience, when ap-
parent good work Is done by persons
who use spirits. The laboratory shows
that the action of spirits Is that Of
an anesthetic on the senses and in
this way the integrity of the brain is
impaired and the evidences of the
outer world through the senses are de-
ranged, lowered and lessened. The
laboratory shows that reasoning under
these conditions is very apt to be
faulty. 1t lacks in rapidity and accu-
raCy. Conclusions are reached on in
secure basis and judgment of events
lacks clearness. Laboratory studies
show cell and motor arrangement
and loss of control, which may be
slight at first, but later increased. The
ordinary caution seems to be dimin-
ished and persons act recklessly, and
both say and do things which later
are proved to be faulty. There is a
species of egotiem which follows the
anesthesia from spirits that is very
and dangerous.
