THE Effects OF
ALCOHOL ON THE HEART

The effect of alcohol on the heart
Is to degenerate 1t. in time the de-
generation taking the form OF FATTY
degeneration" This is we'll seen In
what Is known as the "drunkard' q
heart" The fatty particles which ex-
list in such increased abundance in the
blood OF those who use alcohol. are,
after a time, deposited in various It's
sues where they are not needed, and
In too great quantities This deposit
often occurs In the heart, and gradu-
ally replaces the muscular tissue OF Its
walls thus weakening the hearts
power. and rendering It liable to fail
altogether when called upon for a
little extra exertion.
Degeneration has been shown to re-
suit with only one part OF alcohol
present to five hundred parts OF blood.
Thus il will be seen that the very
weak wines are unsafe, and that
alcoholic drinks Of all kinds should be
a bsolutely banned from ones dietary,
since none OF them contain less than
three to Ave per cent Even small
quantities Of beer and cider might be
ca pa BILE of doing mischief in this way
81 taken in sufficient amount. and may
he the cause of far greater mischief
by leading to the use OF strong drink.
AT the same time while giving up
alcoholic liquors do not make the mis-
take OF substituting tea IN their place.
Hubbard. one OF the most prominent
physicians OF Paris. a specialist in dis
eases of the heart. has called attention
tn the fact that distressing palpfta-
tion of the heart is often due to toxic
causes which are overlooked. To IL
Illustrate this he gives the csse OF a
fashionable young woman who had
constant and painful palp'tation OF
the heart, and who labored under the
impression that she had an organic
disease OF the heart. On examination
he found no trace of any disease or
the values of heart structures. and
learned that the Young lady was In
the habit OF spending her afternoons
In calling, frequently making several
stops. and ~ each taking p cur or
tea, SO that in the course Of the after
noon she drank manv cups. Following
his urgent advice. the young lady re-
.nounced the use of tea, and in a short
time was entirely relieved OF her
cardiac trouble Hubbard points out
that II has long been known that the
use OF tea produces functional dis
orders of the heart OF very pro-

Grover Cleveland Alexander
Would Pitch Every Contest

Christopher Mathewsou hurled
three games against the Philadelphia
Athletics in the worlds series OF 1905.
Matty did not give a run and won his
three games. Joe McGinnity also won
one, and the Giants conquered the
American League pennant winners
Matty's feat has never been dupii-
Gated. but one is ready to surpass this
marvellous curving performance.
Grover Cleveland Alexander il
ready TO pitch every day for the
Phillies against the Boston Red Sox.
And Grover Cleveland makes Just ons

each game, give me some tight field
ing and we'll win four games"

Boston Red Sox and the 1915 worlds

Is not that sort.
When interviewed for facts and fig
ures about himself. Alexander did
not throw out his chest and offer this:
IF they beat me we haven't got II
chance. II l don't win we'll lose"
Grover Cleveland Alexander is not Of
that stripe.
Alexander was asked II he could
stand the strain. If his wonderful
right arm could go 10 the Hill every
day and he said: "Yes--I will pitch
every game. if I am called upon.

NOW LET'S KEEP CLEAN.

So much is preached Of clean mp
in the spring and later forgotten that
it is timely now at the close Of the
spring clean up-weew, Of home street
community, to recognize the necessity
for continuous vigilance in cleanliness
and tidiness. Fer the sake Of health,
for the sake Of happiness, let's keep
clean.
It is not enough to isolate and ELI
inmate contagious diseases; we must
ostracize untidiness The home premi-
ses are the concern Of the individual,
but if the individual is not concerned
in keeping them clean, they become a
matter of public interest, being a
menace to health and happiness.
Streets and alleys are. the concern Of
all, although the town officials are wont
to overlook their care which then falls
upon the citizens who do well to be
organized and prepared for community
tasks of this sort.
Tidiness and cleanliness of the
community depends upon the indivi-
dual citizen, but organized effort has
the power to mold public opinion and
private action. 1t is well, as a re-
suit, to have town improvement
league. The presence Of such a body
Of community workers here in Cheraw
could not help but be felt and much
good would result.
Having cleaned up let's keep clean.
Let's keep the backyard cleaned, the
front yard beautified, the interior Of
the home attractive, the streets and
alleys free from litter and rubbish, the
vacant lots tidy and the approaches
to the community pleasing for those
going into the country and for those
coming from the farms.
In such campaign, nothing will be
of great service than we'll tended
garden. Gardens take the place of
weeds. Gardens aid to the attractive
ness and tidiness cf the community
and thereby are Of vital Importance in |
the encouragement Of health as we'll as |
of happiness.
Let's keep clean in Cheraw both by
individual effort and by community
organization; then we will have
to be justly proud Of.

WHY ADVERTISE?

It has only been a few days since
we heard merchant say that it was
perfectly useless to advertise, because
there was no money in the country
and advertising for business was like
fishing in tub with a pinhook and
expecting to catch whale.
To prove to your own satisfaction
that he was wrong, 60 to the pcstoffice
or express office and see how much
merchandise is being shipped into this
town by the mail-order houses. And
they got the business by going after it.
The mail order houses is a thorn in
the local merchants side, and yet he
is a legitimate competor. The local
merchaptS sells nercsscas ses-, .ssA---a1s
cheply as the mail order house, but the
mail order man "beats him to 1t" by
telling the people about his values
Do you suppose Sears, Roebuck Co. OF
Chicago, would have ever been heard
Of in this country If they had never
advertised. Can you see how the
National Cloak and Suit Co., Of New
York, could have ever sold Mrs SO and
so a cont SUIT last fall If they had
never advertis' fer her business?
If it dres not Lay to advertise, wry
do you Iut sign at front Of yCur
store? Why do you nse printed wrap,
ing paper and bags? Why do you
zen give your patrons good service
hen they occasionally call On you?
If it does not pay to advertise, why
