Her heart was breaking.
1t was her birthday. She had been
married only four years, but he-her

Presently there was the sound of

He bent over her and whispered as
he dropped q tiny parcel into her lap:

Her heart was mended. She sprang

grasp as she realized that, after all,
he still loved her. Then she opened

WHAT The PUBLIC NEEDS.

Life is getting to be too compli.
Gated for the use OF narcotics" said
DIR. S. p. Kramer, the noted surgeon,
In a recent address at the Ricketts,
Research Laboratory, Cincinnati. The
time was when the farmer could drive
to town and get tanked up and his
friends would put him In the buggy
and tho sober horse would carry him
home. But you can not do that now
with automobiles. We know that
most of the automobile accidents are
after dinners where alcohol has been
served. and that not always In ex-
cess"
After describing the effects OF alco-
hol as similar to those of chloroform
or ether, except for the fact that 1t
works more slowly, he considered its
effect upon efficiency In various fields
Of endeavor, and showed charts prov
ing the lowered working power Of
compositors, bookkeepers and soldiers
after they have taken liquor.

DR.. Kramer, continuing the same line
Of argument, Doctor, you must know

to drink. He said he would not. Now
the orator and the actor are in vocal
pursuits. Alcohol makes them more
passionate. But the Judge on the
bench knows that the lawyer is less
capable of keen analysis when in his
cups, and the trained dramatic critic
will tell you that the drinking actor
Is not coming up to what he should.
These men are like the court testers.
Tho fact Is that the higher centers
are off the job. The governor Is not

That Is all.
