WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

In appearance the beer-drnker may
he the picture of health, but in reality
he Is most incapable of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, n severe cold,
or shock to the body or mind Will
commonly provoke acute disease, end
Ing fatally. Compared with other In
ebrlates who use different kinds of al
cohol, he is more incurable and more
generally diseased. II is our obscrva-
ton that beer-drinking in this country
produces the very lowest kind of In
ebrlety, closely allied to criminal In
sanity. The most dangerous classes OF
rufians In our large cities are beer
drinkers. Intellectually a stupor
amounting almost TO paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into n mere anlmalism, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger, scnseless ana
brutal.-Sclentlfi American.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEER.

A pint of beer cOntnln8 eight-tenths
of an ounce Of alcohol, equivalent near
ly to a tablespoonful Of whisky.
While cold beer tastes cool and
pleasant to a hot man, II does not cool
him of.
II heats him up.
The alcohol and solids are burned
into heat.
The effect of alcohol is to send an
excess Of blood to the skin.
Whenever large amount of blood
goes to the skin It causes n feeling Of
warmth.
When n man drinks beer he causes
himself to feel hot.
He also actually increases his body
heat.
lie increases his chances of sun
stroke at least 100 per ccnt.-Dr. w.

Telephone. No. 10.

With permanent paying position
in his grasp that would pay him a
good yearly salary as long as he did
his duty, Levy Courtman Matthew V.
Ford showed devotion to principle and
the public trust that few would have
done, in throwing down the rural mail
route he was appointed to that he
might continue in office and serve out
his time to which he was elected. Not
many men would turn down $500 a
year to accept the comparatively few
dollars he will get as Levy Court
Commissioner. But this is the calibre
of the man. He looks upon his office
as public trust and as he had just
been reelected for four more years,
he felt he should let nothing interfere
to keep him true 20 this trust and 30
his constituency. 1t means a sacrifice
to turn good opportunities like this
down, but under the law he could not
hold both Offices and rather than for
sake the Office he had been elected to,
he declined the government position.
NV. Ford is making splendid Levy
Courtman and this act of self sacrifice
alone should endear him all the
stronger to his constituency and to
his friends.
