THERE'S A REASON.

THERE'S A REASON.
Scientific Investigation has demon
strated that the drinking of glass of
wine or beer lowers a mans muscu-
lar efficiency, for "a hours about 8
per cent. Three glasses a day regu-
larly is cumulative in it's effect. In
IL days ordinary muscular efficiency
goes down rs per cent in the average,
and mental activity SO per cent. This,
observe, is the result of the use of the
"mllder drinks" beer and wine, not
Of whisky. There is good business
reason, we see, for the elimination Of
the drinking employee by railroad COM
panies and industrial corporations.
There is a common-sense reason for
the order of the secretary Of the
navy banishing the officers wine
mess. There is every reason-scien-
tific, economic, moral-for the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic throughout
these United States and all territories

DANIELS DISAPPEARS.

Daniels left Immediately after
the shooting, but it is understood
that he will return in few days
fully prepared to stand trial as
they were first cousins and neigh

The shooting has created quite
a sensation i n the vicinity of
their homes in the Blue Spring
district of this county.
Hunt was the only surviving
son of the late Sheriff Hunt of
this county. He had three living
sisters, Mrs. John Henly, of

Christian Unity.

Church unity is coming fast. We sec
it in new sense of brotherhood
among ministers and members of diff
ferent denominations; in the common
tasks undertaken for the good Of the
community by all Christians. regard
less Of name; III growing similarity
of subject matter and method Of
preaching; and in the ritual Of public
worship. Abroad, our missionaries are
being driven by the glacial pressure Of
circumstances into an ever-growing
unity. They see that they must stand
together as Christians or face defeat.
Christian union is making small prog
ress, except so far as it reflects the I'M
conscious growth of Christian unity.
1T is folly to attempt organic union
of churches until there is a spiritual
unity.-Charles a. Eaton IN New York
