DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAY7

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAY?
Answering the argument of the
moderate drinker that there is a GER
tain quantity Of alcohol which can
be used without danger, DR.. Henry
Smith Williams, the well-known in
vestigator, says:
"Conceiyably that Is true, though it
Is not proved. In any event no man
can tell you what that safe quantity
is-if safe quantity there be-in any
individual case.
But this much l predict with con.
fidence: Whatever the safe quantity
Of alcohol for you to take, you will
unquestionably at times exceed 1t. In
a tolerably wide experience of men
and Of many nations, have never
known a habitual drinker who did not
sometimes take more alcohol than
even the most liberal scientific esti-
mate could claim as harmless. There
fore, | believe you must do the same.
Il am bound to believe, in the light
of what science has revealed, IL you
take alcohol habitually % that you
are tangibly threatening the physical
structures Of your stomach, your liver,
your kidneys, your heart, your blood
vessels, your nerves, your brain; (2)
that you are unequivocally decreasing
your capacity for work in any field, be
1t physical, intellectual or artistic;
(3) that you are in some measure
lowering the grade of your mind, dull
Ing your higher esthetic sense and
taking the finer edge off your morals;
(D that you are distinctly lessening
your chances of maintaining health
and attaining longevity, and (5) that
you are entailing upon your descend.
ants yet unborn bond Of incalculable
misery.
Such, | am bound to believe, Is
the probable cost Of your moderate
indulgence In alcoholic beverages.
Part of that cost you may pay in per-
son; the balance will be the heritage
OF future generations. AS a mere
business proposition, is your glass Of
beer, your bottle of wine, your high
ball, or your cocktail worth the
price,"

Notes and Beams.

George AIDE, over cup Of afternoon
tea with group of cynical bachelors
at the Chicago Athletic club, said
Married men declare that their
wives can't keep secret, but these
men themselves are just as bad.
"a married man buttonholed me in
the billiard room an hour ago and told
me frightful scandal.
Don't let this go any further,
George he ended
No. certainly not said l. But how
did you happen to hear it?'
"'Oh, the wife, of course he an
swered. She's just like all women

Boydton, Va.-Mrs. Fannie Boyd, Of
this town, says: Il am sure l would

been for Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and l certainly cannot praise it
enough, for 1t is worth its weight in
gold. | am, today, walking adver-
tisement for Cardui.
Before taking Cardui, could hardly
walk across the floor, / was so weak.
/ underwent an operation last spring
for womanly trouble, but felt no better.
After using bottles of Cardui, the
woman's tonic, my ulcers were all
gone, l can eat hearty without suffer
ing any pain, feel fine in every way,
work all day, and can walk four miles
day without feeling tired.
Please publish this letter, as would
like for every woman to know what
Cardui did for me-"
Many letters, similar to the above,
come to US, unsolicited, every day.
This one should surely convince you
of the merit of Cardui, as it expresses
the earnest sentiment of a lady who
has tried it.

GUS ailments SO common to women,
such as headache, backache, nervous
ness, weakness, pains in sides and limbs,
sleeplessness, etc, begin taking Cardui

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply you
with no energy, no force. They can
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to horse,
draws strength from you, or rather
out Of you, but 1t can give you none,
So far from helping you, beer, wine
and spirits will hinder you in what
ever work you have to do Other
things being equal, you will have the
greatest steadiness of hand, frmness
of grasp, and clearness of mind, by
total abstinence from every kind of
Intoxicating liquor.
This has been my own experience,
and it has been the experience of
vast numbers of men and women liv-
ing In every country, and following
every kind of occupation. Alcohol has
been found to reduce the strength,
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total abstinence-Dr. Norman N
Kerr.

None of you. | suppose, when you
sign the new Chronicle insurance
coupon, think of William Gibbons,
though you certainly ought to. For
William, who deserves to be better
known, was the first man to insure his
life. This policy was made in June,
1888, and was for the sum of G383 IS
Sd, for IL months, 16 underwriters
dividing the risk. And this first pol
Icy also produced the first insurance
law case, for when William died, in
the following May, the underwriters
attempted to maintain that IL months
meant IL periods Of % days, and had
to be taken into court before they
would pay up.-London Chronicle.

OUR COMING VOTERS AND LAW

The statesmen of tomorrow are to
be found in this year of our Lord 1918
among the little folk of our own neigh
borhood, of our own town or city. In

places in the state legislature, be

ourselves to preparing these prospec

HEALTHFUL, TOO
: BY Caroline coe
The housekeeper who studies food
values has great respect for the
raisin.
For she knows that a pound of
raisins has food value as great as
three pounds of milk or five pounds
of bananas and they are more easily
digested than either milk or bananas.
She also knows that they have me-
dicinal qualities and they are excel
lent blood purifiers.
One of the several good ways to
use raisins is in raisin gingerbread.
This is the recipe:
Cream 1 scant half cup of butter
or lard with one-half cup of brown
. sugar, add a pinch of salt and 1 cup
of black molasses, salt spoon of Gin
namon and even teaspoon of ginger.
To 1 cup of boiling water add 2
even teaspoons of soda. Sift 21a
cups of -four and add half of it to
the molasses and butter mixture
Then add half the water, beating
thoroughly to avoid Jumps. Add the
rest of the flour and 1 cup of seeded
raisins.
When all this is thoroughly mixed
add remaining half cup of water. Beat
two eggs very light, fold into the
dough, turn into well-greased drip
ping pan and bake in a very slow
oven for 40 minutes,
