THE TREE OF LIFE AND
THE TREE OF DEATH
by the REV. CHARLES sTELzLE-
stan Writer on Religious Topics

And he shall be Ike a tree planted
by the rivers of water. that bringeth
forth fruit in his season
+ Trees are like you and me.
There are good trees and poor trees.
Jesus once spoke of a tree, which.
because it brought forth no fruit, was
cut down and cast into the fret
was a great disappointment to its
owner.
II "fruit-bearing." or production. or
service-whatever We choose 10 call il
were the only justification for life,
there'd be some big bonfires through
out the world.
There's a fable that whoever slept
under a japanese upss-tree was sure
to die. It's influence is said TO be so
deadly that vegetation for miles
around is killed.
1t is known that the milky sub
stance which the tree gives forth
when punctured or broken is poisonous
and is used by the natives to give
venom to their arrows.
The upas-tree is an illustration of
the influence of a corrupt life upon
its surroundings. and particularly
upon individuals who come into inti-
mate contact with it
1t blights and shrivels and destroys
the sweetest and most precious human
relationships.
Its like a certain tropical vine which
grips the sturdiest tree in the forest
climbs about its trunk, crawls up its
side. and when II reaches the top. II
sends forth a wonderful flower-but
its grip has meanwhile crushed the
life out of the tree. leaving it a rotten
shell-the flower seeming TO be its
sign of glory that the destructive work
of the vine has been accomplished.
Quite different is the man pictured
in the first Psalm-the one who:
''walketh not in the counsel OF the
ungodly.
Nor standeth in the way of sinners.
Nor stitch in the seat OF the scorn-
full"
He shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water"

tree in the Garden OF Eden brought

New York. Sept. H.-Certain drinks
which have for generations been given
freely to children, made in the home
or consumed at the lunch counter or
soda fountain will be classed as in
toxicating under the 5 per cent ruling
of the Volstead law. according to the
unique exhibit which was presented
in New York this week preparatory
to being taken to the Eastern States
Exposition at Springfield, Mass. The
exhibit was prepared and presented
by Prof. Lewis b. Allyn. OF the IA
nous Westport food fame.
Somehow after a peep at the ex-
hibit one could not help but feel that
either Prof. Allyn was an amazins
unconscious humorist or that he had
a marvelously keen sense OF the
ridiculous without cracking a smile.
The display was in a downtown
window for two days and attracted
crowds along the Avenue and there
was much good-natured bantering. An
array of soft drinks were pyramided
against a white background and in
the center was a bottle of 2.T- beer.
small bottle was on either side of
the different bottled drinks. the left
hand bottle showing the actual alco-
hol present in the labelled bottle OF
the group and the bottle on the right
showed by comparison the u of per
cent standard. according to the ruling.
There were beef tonics for instance
with more than 20 per cent alcohol and
tonics with more than l. per cent anc
even home made root beer had 30
per cent.
The effort of Prof. Allyn was 10

hibits the sale of beverages contain

the assumption that such beverages
are intoxicating at once opens up a
wide field for investigation.
Under the .5 per cent ruling. bever-
ages of every class may be legally
classed as intoxicating and among
them many kinds in which the pres
ence of alcohol was never once sus-
pected bv the consuming public.
Prof. Allyn points out that because

II is at the corner OF First street and

As passed the old prison I OBJ

incarcerated there in 1864. when he
was suspected of being a Confederate
spy. His home was in Richmond, Va.
and he had got through the Union
lines to visit relatives In Washington.

was arrested by secret service men
who learned he was a Confederate
soldier. A friend carried the matter
to President Lincoln.
