First Prize Winner

Marjorie Henderson, seventh
grade pupil, was first prize winner in
an essay contest conducted by one of
the departments of the w. c. T. U.
recently. The essays were on the sub
ject, 1.-The Effects of Alcohol" and
her article is herewith produced.
Alcohol is very bad on the nervous
system; first of all, because when a
man is tempted to take just little
liquor he usually takes more and
more, and in most cases becomes a
drunkard He wrecks his own life.
and not only that, but he ruins the
lives of all his family, If he has one.
The wife suffers more than the hus-
band because he is often cruel to her
and his greed for liquor robs her of
any luxuries of which other women
are so fond. and she often has to do
without even the necessary things of
life. A drunk man is seldom healthy
like other people. They are weak
body and also in mind.
Men in business never engage a
drunkard for work. Men who drink
to excess never rise very high in this
world in any way. "
A drunkard is never a good think
ing man, for his brain is injured by
so much alcohol and he is always a
nervous wreck.
Surgeons used to give liquor to
put people to sleep for an operation
before the use of ether or other drugs
had been discovered That proves
its deadening effect on the brain.
Drunkard's children often inherit
the appetite for liquor and follow in
the fathers footsteps, or they become
insane and sometimes are idoits as a
result of the parents habits.
1t is not only the drunkard who
suffers but it has been proven that the
moderate drinker also feels the evil
effect of the liquor and in time his
mind becomes dimmed and his nerves
cannot be controlled.
1t has been stated that some minds
have been dulled as result of oc-
caSlO1dI uTlHhS dI DhhquCto.
Ships have been sunk, trains have
been wrecked and automobile acci-
dents are happening every day, prin-
ciply from the effects of drink ruin
ing nervous systems.
Once at great meeting man got
up and said "If there is any person
that has gotten an honest living
thru the liquor trade will help that
trade the rest of my days." then he
sat down. Another man got up and
said, II consider my trade honest and
Il got my living thru 1t. I am an
undertaken" the other man was
much abashed. But don't know
whether he helped the liquor trade or
not. For is It not true that the dead
ening effect of drink upon the nerves
later brings deathf

TO PUT
ALL EVANGELISTS

Recommendation at Presbyter-

Country Would Be Divided In
to Districts and Travelling

BY Assoetatsd Press

Atlantic City, N. J.. May 10. - BY
the adoption of a recommendation Of
fered by its permanent committee on
evangelism to-day, the 1Ssth General
Assembly of the Presbyterian church
took the first step In the establish
ment of a proposed interdenomina-
tional evangelistic organization which
will put religious revivals the country
over on an efficiency basis under the
immediate direction of the church in
America and an advisory nondenomi-
national lay board.
The plan, when carried to its con-
clusion, will make evangelists salaried
members of an evangelistic commit
tee of all the churches. The evangel-
lists will be assigned to certain districts
that need them, as is the organized
sales force of a huge selling cor
poration.
This arrangement will eliminate
the much criticised thank offerings at
the end of revivals.

New York, May 19. - The spec

AVOID RADICAL
CHANGES IN RULES
OF ARBITRATION
Lake Mohonk Conference Con-
Siders Unsettled International
Affairs in Platform
MANY ARE DISAPPOINTED
Taft's League Given No En-
couragcment; It's Oppon-
ents Displeased, Too

Mohonk Lake. n. Y, May 19.-The
resolutions committee of the Lake Mo-
honk Conference on International Ar
bitration to-day showed its appre-
citation of the unsettled condition of
international affairs by presenting a
platform which avoided any radical
recommendations and confined itself
to carefully worded approval of the
general principle of arbitration The
platform proved a disappointment to
members of the League to Enforce
Peace, headed by ex-President William
H. Taft, presiding officer of the con-
ference. But ii also offered no encour-
agement to the opponents to enforce
peace, led by William ]. Bryan. The
platform follows:
The world conditions of the past
two years have confirmed the belief
often expressed in these conferences
that arbitration and judicial methods
should and must increasingly prevail
in settling international disputes.
During the twentieth century the
permanent court at The Hague has
acted upon cases involving questions
relating to Europe, Asia, Africa, The
islands of the Pacific and the three
Americas. These questions involved
financial and territorial claims and
such fundamental matters as the right
TO fly the national flag and to exercise
e
forces. These facts are clear testi-
mony to the development of NJ bi-
tration.
Wants Congress to Act
THE tendency of this court AT The
Hague to become in reality peTma-
nent is evident from the fact that
there are eight judges who have sat
in seven of the cases.
The conference expresses again its
firm belief in the desirability of such
legislation by Congress as will confer
upon the courts of the United States
jurisdiction over all cases arising under
treaty provisions or affecting the rights
of aliens.
The speakers this morning were
1gnacio Calderon. Bolivian minister
to the United States; William P. Bor-
land member of Congress from Mis-
souri,; the Rev. Charles f. Jefferson,
pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle,
New York; DIR. Ernest o. Nelson. for
merly dlrector-gener of secondary
industrial and commercial education
of Argentina. and Walter s. Penfield,

Get Only One Juryman Out
of 223 Men in Orpet Case
BY Associated Press

Waukegan, Ills, May 19. The
jury to try w. H. Orpet, the Uni
versity student for the murder of his
former sweetheart, Marion Lambert,

who was selected last Monday, the
opening day.
Two hundred and twenty-three men
have been examined for jury service
since the trial began and three Venires
have been exhausted.

Pittsburgh Manufacturers
Forced to Refuse Orders

Pittsburgh, May 19.-Inability of
local mills to assure delivery for
nearly year has resulted in failure
to place S1,000,0O0 worth of business
here during the past few days.
The Foreign Trade Commission of
Pittsburgh yesterday received a cable
inquiry from Japan for 1900 tons of
wire rods which at the present price
is valued at more than S720.000. but
none of the manufacturers in Pitts
bl rgh could accept the order. The
commission also has received an in
quiry for 500 tons of steel plates on a
cash basis and for steel wire valued at
100000 but neither could be placed.
Manufacturers point out that they can
not promise immediate delivery owing
to the great demand upon them nor
can they make quotations for delivery
a year hence owing to the uncertainty
of the cost of raw material at that
time.
