Words cannot express our heartfelt
thanks to the many friends for their
acts of sympathy and love shown US at
the time our loving husband and father
was taken from our midst. We also
wish to express our thanks for the many
beautiful floral offerings. May God
bless our friends for their kindnesses.

PHYSIOLOGY OF ALCOHOL

Alcohol is grouped with the narcot-
ice and the anaesthetics, producing
temporary stimulation of the brain,
followed by diminishment or sus-
pension of the brain functions.
Applied to the skin Evaporation
prevented) it causes Inflammation.
When taken into the mouth it in
creases the flow of the gastric juices.
Constant invitation may cause gas
trio catarrh and other abnormal con-
ditiOns.
When one per cent of the digestive
mixture in the stomach it helps di-
gestion. Above five per cent it re-
tards it. 1t stimulates the heart
through the nerves of the stomach;
this increases the hearts beats; later

to study and become a success in
life.
The way it works out now in the
helter-skelter, haphazard, hit-or-
miss love many boys leave school
with no ties and no fixed purpose.
This class of youths become wander
ers on the face of the earth. Some
end as buns.
A community of parents raise an
equal number of boys and girls. They
spend their hard-earned cash on
boys, who later in life show their in
gratitude by leaving that community,
leaving old maids behind to become
the husbands elsewhere. But how
do the girls come out back home who
are educated, cultured, refined and
who are entitled in justice to hus-
bands in these men who wander
away because of our faulty educa-
tionaI ystem?-AIIen Steven, 1925

coMFoRTLEss STATIONS.

Public comfort stations are very fine
things, but not when like the one in
the basement of the city hall or in
barber shops, where a colored gent
stands at the door and if you don't
give him a tip he gives you look
that means Stay out" In the bar
room l can get, if 1 want to tip, a
beer, cigar or lemonade for it.-G. F.

EATING WITH SERVANTS

Should servant, man or woman, be
put at another table to dine or not?
Are these rich people that go to
church on Sunday and say their
prayers Christians? Did our Lord re-
fuse to eat with servants or poor peo-
pie? No, don't think He did. When
these people come home from church,
sit down to a big Sunday dinner in
the diningroom and let the servants
eat at another table, what do you
call it, an old custom, a religious act,
a good principle or what? 1 call it
proud hypocrisy.
Now do not belong to any church
and am not fanatic on religion, but
if should ever keep servants they
should not eat at another table like
cat or dog.-Miss Eva Doyle.

this falls below the normal When
absorbed into the blood it affects the
heart directly.
Alcohol paraIyzes the cells. This
prevents the breaking down of the
fat particles, and with a lesser de-
gree the carbohydrates. This spares
fat. Alcohol burns itself up. 1t is
not good source of heat. 1t dilates
the surface blood vessels, allowing
more heat to escape than it produces
itself
The alcohol not oxidized is excret-
ed. Constant irritation of the cxcre-
tary organs may result in functional
disorders.
1t stimulates the brain, dilating
cerebral blood vessels; dullness fol-
lows. 1t accumulates in nerve tissue
more than in any other. Nervous
disorders result. 1t has been found
on administering moderate doses
that mental weakening has been ex-
hibited in simple arithmetic, spelling,
etc.
AS a food it replaces to a certain
degree fat and carbohydrates. 1t
oxidizes too rapidly. For extended
mental work it is poor. 1t hastens
fatigue in muscle work. It is faVora-
BILE to digestion when taken at the
right time and in the correct amount
1t is unnecessary in health.-M. n.

Claim Supported.

LAKE MOHONK, N. Y, Nov. A.
Many claims by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor regarding conditions
in Porto. Rico were repeated by DR..
w. May, Superintendent of the Porto
Rico experiment station, in an ad-
dress before the conference: on the
Indian, and other dependent peoples
DR.. May said the population is on
the verge Of starvation. and that If
being underfed is slow starvation
there are many starving to death
every Year.
by far the large mass of the pop
ulation live in the country" he said.
They are tof mixed .breeding-white,
Indian, negro. They live in huts
made Of palm boards, leaves or straw.
These houses usually consist of two
rooms and an outdoor kitchen-the
two hamnocks. Often the entire fam
lily sleep in one room on the floor.
Through stress of poverty, they have
fixed upon the simplest diet OF which
beans and rice are the staples"
The speaker assured his audience
that thes workers are not oppressed
or exploited. 4, The, planatfon owner
is good to them, and as generous,
usually as his means will allow, )" he
said.
1t was further stated that lowing

five per cent. This increase in the
dividend rate involves an annual ex-
penditure of one million dollars, while
the operators are handled few psi
try thousands There is no use dis
cussing the injustice OF this division
of earnings. >. We all know it is un.
just, but what are you going to do
about it? ; -.
:, This is about the usual, deal that
labor gets where it is, :unorganized
and the operators OF the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company are in this
class. They get few crumbs from
the table its labors has so bounti-
fully supplied. =
Mr., Carlton, a western Union Off
cial, In a straightforward fashion
said he believes telegraphers have a
right to collective bargaining through
organization; that In his. opinion q
representative body OF competent en-
ployees of the Western Union would
certainly represent such organiza-
tion and that If they had something
to say which they thought needed cor
recting, he was Of the opinion that
they had a right to bargain collec-
lively for that Improvement. Nnw,
that language is clear and .upmistak-
able, and Mr.. Carlton Is on record to
that effect: before the Federal Com
mission on Industrial Relations. -
But whatever Mr.. Cartons Views
may be on that subject, 1t Is not to
be expected that he as a. corporation
head, is going to encourage or per.
suade employees to adopt such meas
ures. He has q. right to assume ethat
the employees are satisfied ii, know.
Ing his position on the subject they
fail to form an effective organiIa-
tion and to. send In q COMMITTEES to
bargain for the desired improve
ments Since Mr.. Carlton has de-
clared his position, it only. remains
for the men to act and declare theirs.
