are on hand to wait on the 'wite fokes.''
The night is a starry one and rime of frost
has settled over the landscape. Outside there Is a

leading to the house, buggies. carriages, perhaps a

corded the number of minutes re-

when he took as much alcohol as one
would get in from one and one-half to
three glasses Of beer, it took him on
the average 10 per cent longer to
learn the lines than when no alcohol
was taken. Six months later, when he
reviewed and relearned the same
lines, he found that the lines learned
on the alcohol days required more
time for relearning.

WHAT Is 'NTEMPERANcE7

lntemperance does not necessarily
mean only obvious and palpable
drunkenness. From the very moment
in which alcohol has disturbed the
healthy exercise Of the mental facul-
ties, or has impaired the moral sense
by unduly exciting the animal pas
sions or has in any way united a
person for discharging his duties in
the proper struggle for survival, from
that moment has there been guilt Of
intemperance."-T. B. Hyslop, NJ. D.

AUTHORITIES ON BEER.

Beer comes next to brandy as a
poison drink. 1t limits the capacity
and lowers mind, soul and body. The
soldier who abstains altogether is the
best man.-Count Won Haesler, Late
Commander of the Sixteenth Army
Corps, Germany.
There is no justification for calling
beer "liquid bread" A glass Of heavy
beer costing rs pfennigs has no more
nourishment than a piece of cheese
costing one pfennig. Beer is
not the harmless drink it is supposed
to be.-From a German Army Pamph-

BEWARE OF SNAKES.

Beer is the diamond RATHER Of the
liquor snake family. Some think 1t Is
innocent, while in fact it is more
vicious than the rest. This is one rea-
son why 1t bites SO many. There can
be no such thing as a harmless sOlu-
ton Of poisonous ingredient, no mat
ter whether that poisonous ingredient
is placed directly In the solution or en-
gendered there by Preventative proc
esses. Beer contains about 81 per
cent alcohol. This amount of alcohol
Is always poisonous to human tissue,
the rapidity Of destruction being meas
rred by the quantity taken. The
brewer reduces the percentage of alco-
hol in beer to quiet the alarm of his
customer and then increases the vol
ume Of the drink without apparent de-
lection. The drihker then plays his
money for his share of imaginary SUM-
shine on the basis Of the old familiar
game: Head up, the brewer wins tail
up, the drinker loses.
The opinions of the medical profess
sion on the liquor traffic ten years or
mO-e ago are practically worthless, be-
cause those opinions were based on
popular beliefs since known to be
false. Our opinions now are based on
scientific demonstra-
tions.-Dr. r. E. Minahan, Green Bay,
Wis.

STOP AND THINK.

STOP AND THINK.
From a bulletin issued by the Chi
cago health department:
you had a glass Of beer or three
fingers Of rye today, didn't you? You
think that 1t puts snap in your wits
and steam in your cylinders. You feel
fine and you think you are ready to
tackle your job and meet any problem
In sight with a clear head and a strong
hand. But your feeling has deluded
you. The fact Is that the drink you
took actually diminished your power to
add numbers, to memorize, to associate
ideas and to see, hear and think quick
ly.
"This statement II not the result of
guesswork or question Of antithis or
antithat on moral grounds. 1t Is based
on experiments made by an eminent
scientist, Professor Kraepelin Of Wen
and applied them to many individuals
before and after they have taken al
coholic liquor. His findings have been
duplicated by other scientific men.
"In all cases the ability to add, to
memorize and to think quickly were
greatly reduced within a few minutes
of taking the drink, and the handicap
lasted for as long as three days. The
more difficult the task, the greater was
the handicap, and the more numerous
were the mistakes made by the one
tested.
"This should make you think before
you order another stein; for while you
may drink another fellows health In
1t, you are hurting your own brain
power. And who does not need all the
mind he can muster in these days"
