Protestant cnurcneS OF tne city toOk
part, we're held in the Presbyterian
church last evening Addresses were
given by DR.. J. w. Andrews, who
spoke on. The Effects of Alcohol on
Living Tissue" and John d. Deets.
whose theme was Labor" Rev. T.
Ross Paden. Rev. Clark w. Comstock
and Rev. w. r. Keesey assisted in
the service and a quartet composed
OF Misses Cornelia Mansfield and
Leila Black and Messrs. Frank Blyler
and ID. VI. Jones sang. Mr.. Jones al
so sang The Star Spangled Ban
ner" as a solo.
In opening his subject, DIR. An
drews said that the great quantity OF
alchohol used by the laboring man
was reason for discussion on Labor
Day OF the effect of IL on living It's
sue. Alcohol Is an irritant." he said.
1T Is a drug that disorganizes the
tissue. II is looked upon as a stimu-
liant, but a stimulant Is a substance
which causes greater activity OF an
organ. and alcohol is the opposite Of
that Alcohol has the effect OF para
Lying the ! organs. ii is an anaes-
thetic, and II robs the tissues OF the
normal amount of water that belongs
to them" DR.. Andrews in mention
ing this fact said that the thirst
which follows a spree" Is the re-
suit OF this.
Alcohol Not Food.
Alcohol is in no sense food" he
declared A small minority OF ply
sicians advocate the use Of alcohol
in sickness or in health in any guam
tity. Alcohol increases the heart &C.
ton by dilating the small blood
vessels on the surface of the skin,
and partially paralyZes them. II also
acts upon the inhibitory nerves of
TIE heart Alcohol therefore weakens
the heart.
Il don't know that one tablespoon
ful OF alcohol taken after meals will
60 any special harm to a man, and
II may slightly aid digestion because
il causes freer flow of the digestive
juices. But a greater quantity Of
alcohol causes more mucous, which
envelopes the food in the stomach
and retards digestion.
"AlcohOl gives temporary strength
TO the muscles, but that Is followed
by greater fatigue and temporary
paralysis. The confirmed drunkard
ages fast. his mind. his skin and his
I'll
cohol also lowers the temperature Of
the body"
Or. Andrews closed his address by
telling of specific experiments which
showed conclusively the influence of
alcohol on the body.
John Deets on Labor.
Mr.. Deets described. in his ad.
dress. the people OF this country as
of one OF two classes, the "lifters"
or the "leaners." The filters are the
workers, and the leaners lean on the
workers. 1t is the same system as Is
followed by bees, where there are
the workers and the drones. | believe
that there are no lazy people in the
world. We can find people who are
leaners, but that is because they are

follow.

The meeting was very largely at

church congregations OF the city.

Benefit for Army Relief SocietY
Proves BID Success, Homo,
lulu Attendance Heavy

The County Fair at Schofield Bar
racks yesterday was the sample from
which the wholesale order for tomor-
rows fun was taken. About 1000 Ho-
nolulans came out by train and auto
to take in the sights, and 1t Is a safe
estimate that three times that num-
ber viii be on hand from the city to-
morrow. Yesterdays entertainment
was for the benefit OF the Army Re
lief Society, but there was the double
purpose of bringing the Schofield and
Honolulu people into closer touch, and
in both ways the affair was success.
The County Fair represented an
enormous amount o, work on the part
of everyone connected with 1t, but
the officers and ladies' of the post felt
themselves we'll repaid by the appre-
citation shown for their efforts. For
weeks past everyone has been rustling
to get up the exhibits, and to perfect
the various stunts that went to make
up the successful whole. As a result,
the fair went with snap, and there
were no bitches to try the patience
of the spectators.
The fair opened with a grand pa
rade, which started from the railroad
station at Jones Ranch, and led
through the canvas exposition city to
the circus grounds Most of the Ia
dies of the garrison figured in the
delegation of militant suffragettes
that marched in the parade, led by
Mrs. Sturgis, wife Vf Colonel Sturgis
Of the artillery. The Pankhursts
were there, in the familiar prison
garb, and many other notables, each
carrying aIoft banner with an ap-
propriate inscription.
. The Daughters of the Regiments
was another feature of the parade,
each of the four regiments at Seho-
field being represented by some of
it's ladies. smartiy mounted, and ac,
companied by the proper escort OF
outriders. The Ad Club had it's place
