DANGER FROM ALCOHOL.

In pneumonia or in snake bite, when recovery takes place, an invasion oi the parts affected by a large number of leucocytes or white blood corpus cles is invariably observed. Delcarde insists that this invasion is essential to recovery. MasSert and Bordel dem onstrated that alcohol, even in very dilute solution. drives away the white corpuscles or leucoytes, and if alec in very minute quantities. the leuco- cytes cannot push their way into the blood at all readily, and therefore cannot be transported to the seat of the disease Alcohol thus prevents the white cells or leucocytes from coming up to attack and repel the in vading organisms. .. The leu cocytes act as kind of sanitary po- lice. They appear wherever dead mat ter Is to be removed, they attempt to prevent the invasion of the body by disease producing organisms, and once they come to grips with their opponents they die rather than give way. Disease producing or ganisms getting into the tissues dur ing the time that alcohol is holding bacx the leucocytes. and meeting with no resistance from them. entrench themselves strongly, so that the leu cocytes cannot drive them out. and a severe. often fatal. attack of disease is the result-Dr Sims Woodhead, Cambridge University, England

-oHNlCALlTY ONCE OF USE
undoubtedly Served Good Purpose When Criminal Laws Were So
 Unreasonably Severe.

You remember the trial scene in "The Merchant of Venice The "q,tal lty of mercy has failed The learned Daniel of judgment has refused the plea to ''wrest once the law to your authority" Shylock is whetting his knife for the pound of flesh. And then -"Tarry a little, there is something no jot of blood"-a technicality. All through the English law of the period am discussing, English criminal law yers, with the connivance of humane English judges, were playing the part of Portia, inventing ingenious excuses by which humanity might triumph over barbarism. Here is a man in. dicted for stealing a sheep-penalty. death. The proof was that he stole eve, but the statute used the word "ewe" as well as sheep and the prisoner escaped. He had not stolen sheep.
 In 1927, an indictment read that the jurors ''on their oath" instead of 'on tteir oaths," charged a man with q crime and for this reason the indict- ment was found defective and on this technicality the prisoner was dis charged.
 That these technicalities were in their own time undesirable substitutes for the law reform must be admitted. But they had reason for existence. due to the barbarous condition of the criminal law.-World's Work

The voice of business Is loudly raised against strong drink. The most striking illustration of this is furnish ed by the railroad companies. The American railway companies. which employ upward of a million and half of persons, have rule to the ef- feet that the use of intoxicants by employees while on duty Is prohibited. Their use and the frequenting of places where they are sold is suffi- cient cause for dismissal. Other lines of business are taking similar action, not always from philanthropic mo- tives, but for the sake Of financial ad- vantage, recognizing that the eff ciency of their employees Is lessened by the use of strong drink. even though taken in moderation. Insur ance companies. athletic societies, and various fraternal organizations are all testifying to the ruinous results of alcoholic beverages. Even the bar tenders union in advertising for bar tenders calls for total abstainers, say. ing that booze hits the bartender Just as strongly as 1t hits the man fin front who pays for 1t. If any one wants to drink let the man on the other side of the bar do it'

The Egyptians recognized cancer as growth within the tissues of the body, and Celsius elaborated upon this when he discovered that some growths were malignant and some benign. Then in 180 B. c. Leonldes declared that the only hope of cure lay in erad- icating the growth entirely from the body.

UNDER BAN OF STATE LAW.

(By REV. JESSE HILL. Portland. Mel
 Every drop of liquor that is distilled or brewed Is held by the great careful central government to be contraband and confiscated property, for a time. Not one barrel of 1t can be taken from its place of manufacture till the na- tiopal stamp "U. S." Chat always means us) Is placed upon 1t. We may not be able to stop the complicity of the federal government with the traf- fic. but there Is one thing We can do We can answer the question for our selves: Is the moral character of the state or city thing worth contend ing for? Shall we treat 1t as a com modity which we can sell in our streets and alleys for three or five hundred dollars a year? If you hunt for It. you can sometimes find liquor in the prohibition territory. but that is quite a different proposition from giving the business an opportunity to hunt for you, Put the thing under the ban of the law and you have stig- matized 1t. . Let the saloon wear Its own badge of shame. License Is a compromise. It Is wrong fin princi- pie and wicked in practice. For the state to go into partnership with the manufacturers of criminals is for the state 10 commit suicide.

Peter Rabbit Really Works
Hard.

Though Peter Rabbit Is a shirk
He's proved at last that he can work"
That wasn't a very nice thing for
Sammy Jay to be saying. but it was
true, and down in his heart Peter
knew that it was true SO. as he
couldn't say a word in reply. he just
kept right on working, which shows
that there is some wisdom in Peters
foolish little head after all He was
cutting his way out Of the bramble-
tangle on the edge of the Green Forest
into the middle of which he had been
driven by Reddy Fox OF course, he
could have got out the same way he
got in by wriggling and crawling be-
tween the close growing vines and
brambles, but he had torn his clothes
badly, and he smarted from many
scratches. He didn't want any more,
so he wisely decided to cut path
out
He heard Sammy Jays taunt. OF
course, he did Sammy meant that he
should The funny thing Is that though
it didn't seem a very nice thing for
being done for Peters own good. It
was a part of plan OF some OF Peter
friends to teach him how much better
it is to work than to shirk. To shirk,
you know, is to pretend TO 90 tnins,
vet not do it, Peter had pretended to
be working very hard cutting paths
through the old bramble-tangle SO as
to have a safe retreat In time OF dan
ger, but he had spent most OF his time
dreaming how fine it would be when
all the paths were finished. instead
of going ahead and cutting the paths;
So Bobby Coon and Sammy Jay and
Unc' Billy Possum and a few more
os Peters friends had put their heads
Dnkn d
ed a lesson for his own good: that he
should be made to work. So Sammy
Jay had told Reddy Fox how he could
surprise Peter on the edge OF the
bramble -tangle, and then had warned
Peter just in time for Peter to wrig-
gle in among the bramble out OF Red
dy's reach.
But Peter didn't know this. He didn't
know that Bobby Coon and Unc' Billy
Possum had been watching from the
same tree on the edge of the Green
Forest and had seen all that had hap
pened. If, when he started to work,

when they were handsome and stylish

Seth Woo1ey's Son.

1t was Ina Mays fault. Mrs. Peel had
laid down her glasses for one moment
on the kitchen table and Ina May. as
ever recklessly unobservant. had brushed
them upon the floor, where they now
lay in a sad state of wreckage.
Mrs. Peel nearly wept as she bent over
them. "Oh. dear me, suz-a-day." she
mourned. "There they be and they were
the best seeing glasses I ever had, be-
sides costing a dollar and half. What
shall do I don't know"
Ina May stood by looking rather pale
and frightened. She was Mrs. Peel's
niece, a shapeless woman with a face so
young for her fifty-three years that you
wondered how she came by it until you
learned that her mind had never grown
up. She was a good creature, faithful,
loving, dutiful with a heart full of graft
tude for the old woman who had given
her a home in her homeless childhood
and brought her up 'Tm sorry" she
murmured over and over.
Mrs. Peel was not hard hearted. but
she felt that she had occasion to be
very much put out with Ina May. The
loss OF the glasses entaied tremendous
Inconvenience, for, though she would not
admit it, Sophie could see neither to read
nor sew so well as she once had. Be-
sides. it would cost something to replace
them, and money was not to be used
carelessly. Sophie Peel had streak of
clear stinginess In her, and economy was
something more than habit; it was al
most the object of her being.
She felt warranted in scolding Ina May
title. To her Ina May was still q
child to be chastened when necessary. 1t
did not occur to her that she had at last
become even more of a child than Ina
May. You're downright needless" she
said. "T"other day you broke my blue
bowl and now you've broke my glasses.

ceeding summers she had worn the same
dress to the picnic, a white muslin, whose
sleeves had seemed constantly to grow
bigger and whose skirt wider. This year
Aunt Sophie had promised her new
white dress. In fact, Ina May expected to
go down town that very afternoon and
pick out the material And now, alas,
she had cheated herself out of this tre-
mendous delight by breaking her aunt's
glasses. Her heart seemed TO be break
ing
"No, sir emplla sized Mrs. Peel. you
can't have no new white dress to wear to

tighter than ever.

almost put the dishcloth to her eyes in
her grief. While Mrs. Peel was picking
