EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.
~~~~~~~-o-~>~~~o- -~~,-,

There IS no experiment more strik- ing than this. Take a person who IS even most moderate drinker of al. cohol. Let that person take his pulse in a standing position, and take it in a recumbent position in ordinary ev- ery-day life. and let him do so when there is no alcohol in his body, and when there is a dose. He finds that when in health. his heart is automati. cauy slowed when he lies down, but that under the influence of alcohol this does not occur, or is very much reduced in it's character. and wholly, as we know, by the fact that this tampering with the nerves has re- suited in the heart being to a certain degree emancipated from the healthy and normal discipline which it should be under, and which nature ordained tkat it should be under. We have therefore to regard alcohol as a par alytic or narcotic agent entirely, and if you investigate the reasons why peo- pie take it, you will find invariably that it is for paralytic action rather than for the stimulant
 The feeling of fatigue which we all experience is very healthy symptom It is a little message from nature saying that we are overdOing it, and if alcohol is taken you cut off and stop that nerve message. The engineer on board steamer who tells you that his boilers are magnificent boilers be- cause they never give too high or too low pressure, and when you look at the pressure gauges you find they have been tempered with so that the cor rect steam pressure is not shown by them, occupies the same position as a man who explains his feelings under alcohol.
 would like you to think of the body when alcohol is circulating in it as being interfered with-to use that French saying which is on the penny in-the-slot weighing machines Please don't brutalize the machine" Prof w. A. Osborne, M. B., c. Oh, D. Sc.

GERMANS DRINKING TEA.

Encouraging testimony as to the de- creased consumption of alcohol in Ger many was given Miss Mary E. Brown, director of the National w. c. T. U. exhibit at the PanamaPacific exposi- tion, by an engineer who showed great interest in the literature exhibit He said that with 46 other engineers he visited Germany two years ago. While there the group investigated eight manufacturing plants and they found the men taking a pint bottle of weak tea with their one o'clock lunch in stead of using beer with 2 or per cent alcohol as formerly. The tea is prepared in the building and sent up in bottles at about one-half the cost of beer. Since substituting tea for beer the efficiency of the workmen has increased from 15 to 20 Der cent.

JOHN BARLSYcoRN UNPOPULAR.

Insurance people have come to the definite conclusion that booze and in. surance mix about as well as oil and water" remarked Edward A. Woods, president of the National Life Under writers association. Tn other words" said MT. Woods, "a drinking man is a mighty poor risk Cold figures have proved to us positively that the drink ing man-even the moderate drinker- has less than half as much chance to live out the life of his policy as the teetotaler. The mortality of the teetotalers between the ages of thir- ty-five and fifty years, when men are of the most use to society, is only 56 per cent of the average mortality. Not even the war has been the sub- ject of as much consideration among insurance men as has the liquor ques- tion."

SThe Man That Never Kicks.

While travelling over life's ragged
road,
How many men we see
That bind tharselves to heavy load
Who could jes. as wal be free!
Now, as fer me, Pm not the kind
That worries tharselves sick.
Fer allus leave dull care behind,
An never have ter kick.
Now, | never borror truble,
But allus meet it like a man.
This life would be a bubble
If the dark side we would scan.
So what's the use ter stew an fret
If good luck with you won't stick.
Cause it never helped feller yet
Ter chew the rag an kick.
This world is full O. care an strife,
But it allus has been thus;
So what's the use ter waste yer life
An stamp around an cuss?
Take things easy day by day,
Fer time is flying quick,
An'if things jest don't come yer way,
1t won't do no good ter kick.

HOW The RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED.
ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS WORKERS
AFTER A $3.50, 900 FUND---A
WORLDWIDE METHOD.

Nearly $500. 900 has been raised
by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the
last seven years, and yet many peo-
pie who will buy these holiday stick
ers at this eighth annual sale do not
know how the charity stamp idea
originated.
1t was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil War of 81
to '65. Some of your grandmoth-
ers first played post office" with
stickers similar to Red Cross Seal
way back in 1862, when they con-
ceived the idea of selling stamps at
fairs for the benefit of the relief
funds for the soldiers hospitals in
Brooklyn, Boston and elsewhere.
Nearly S1.O00,000 was raised in this
way before 1865. After the war
this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for a
generation, although it found vogue
in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain, Denmark, Norway.
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now several
thousands of different types of char
ity stamps used in all parts of the
world, as many as forty being used
in Austria for children's hospitals
alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob Riis, the well-known
social worker of New York. and to
Miss Emily P Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originat-
ing our American Red Cross seal. In
1907, MIR Riis's interest was aroused
by the receipt of a Christmas tu-
berculosis stamp on a letter from
Norway. He published an article
about this queer looking stamp in
the Outlook and suggested some pos
sible uses for it in this country.
Miss Bissell at once saw an oppor-
tunity here and prepared a stamp.
from the sale of which her society
realized $4,000 for tuberculosis
work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on a national basis.
With very little organization and
with hardly any attempt at careful
advertising the sale that year brought
in over S135,OO for anti-tubercu-
losis work in various parts of the
United States. In 1909, with more
thorough organization. the sale was
increased to s23O,OOO, in 1910 to
nearly S31O, 900, in 1911 to over
$330,0 and in 1912 to over $780,
600. In 1913 the sale was increased
to nearly $3.50, 900, and last year, in
spite of war and hard times, % per
cent more, or 55, 100000 seals were
sold, totaling s550.OOO for the anti
tuberculosis war.
1t is fitting to note that war, in
human and cruel, was the mother
of the Red Cross seal, and that now
war for humanity against disease
brings it back to it's fullest useful
ness.
