Temperance
A@NOteS"
AN ExcReIIoN.
Conducted by the National woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

The origin Of alcohol Is most slgnl-
flcant Of Its character.
II Is an excretion OF the yeast plant,
thrown out because the plant has no
further use for II and Its retention
would have a poisonous effect. Just as
the human body Is poisoned by an ac-
emulation Of waste matter, so the
yeast plant IL injured by Its waste
product. When the alcohol has reached
strength Of IA per cent II is sufii-
ciently poisonous to the yeast plant to
stop all Of Its activities.
1t Is an odd thing that any excre-
ton Il poisonous TO the living organ
ism which produces II and to all higher
forms of life. THE excretion of q
mammal might serve as food for some
of the lower vertebrates and certainly
for fungi and bacteria. but inevitably
has toxic action upon any organism
Of n higher rank" says DIR. Winfield
Scott Hall, Of Northwestern Medical
school, and he continues:
"The relation Of alcohol to life may
thus be summed: ID Ethyl alcohol is
the excretion OF fungus; (2) excre-
lions which are toxic (poisonous) to
the organism which excretes them are
also toxic to all higher organisms; (3)
alcohol Is toxic to the yeast plant and
In conformity to laboratory observa-
lions as well as to the logic Of the case
alcohol is toxic to all animal pro-
toplasm."
And the layman's conclusion would
probably be: "The yeast plant, In
common with animals, first consumes
food and then decompOses 1t. Man
drinks the excreted decompOsed food
Of the yeast plant, called alcohol, and
naturally Is poisoned thereby"
