OUR SWEDE SERVANT
(By william F. Kirk,

Some of the married women in our
neighborhOOd are thinking seriously of
organizing club Of our own for civic
reform, y remarked my wife last night
"lt doesn't seem as if you men have
made any very vast strides toward
purifying this section of the city, and !

seems as if certain amount of deyitry
has to come to the surface in big city,
and we have tried to keep things as
decent as possible. Somehow, | wish you
would keep out of politics.
You ban right - interrupted Steena,
our interested servant, "Yu ban right
and yure wife ban wrong.
"Stcena, how dare you be so imperti

Gay don't care vat names yu call

"Steena, said the wife "you were
not hired to mingle in any conversation
between my husband and myself, and

ABOUT EFFICIENCY,

teal as compared with the sentimen-
tai exhortations of yesterday In
these days when efficiency" is so gen
eral a watchword in the world of bust
ness and labor we are finding not so
directly that a man 10 knave who
drinks to excess, or even at all, as
that he is fool. A runner who ties
a weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the worxingman or the
merchant who puts dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t Is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an &C
casional glass Of wine or beer or

hands and his mind, while the habi-

RISKS TAKEN BY MODERATE
DRINkER

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 1t was
seen that death for a time had been
beaten, one of the doctors. 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
a drunkard. He had been what is
called moderate drinher" Whisky
had put him in condition that made
the anaesthetic a poison to him.-Ex-

FACTOR IN ACCIDENTS.

During the last few years a mum Der
of very startling accidents have been
clearly traceable to mistakes of per-
sons using intoxicants. In most cases
this fact is suppressed, since, if known,
the responsibility would center on
some individual and become the basis
for damage suits. DR.. T. d. Crothers
of Hartford, Conn, who has made a
study of alcohols connection with re-
ings in investigating the causes of
railroad and steamship casualties, fac
tory explosions. fires, automobile &C
cidents and the like. We quote.
Laboratory studies and the asser-
tons or 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
very extravagant claim and seemingly
contradicted by experience. when APP
parent good work Is done by persons
who use spirits. The laboratory shows
that the action of spirits is that of
an anestheNc 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 a 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
misleading and dangerous.
