with 1882. Such a condition must
give every parent great concern"
Figures on the increase in drunken
ness here were made public by Miss
Laura Lindley, research secretary OF
the Anti-Saloon League OF America.
Miss Lindley is an official representa-
tive of the Organized Bible Glass AS

Women's Bureau Figures.
Her figures on drunkenness here
were prepared for the Anti-Saloon
League from reports of the Women's
Bureau of the local Police Department.
She charged many drunken women
were from the upper middle class"
Arrests for drunkenness among
women here increased 303 per cent in
1884" Miss Lindley's report said, "and
535 per cent in 1885 over the num-
ber reported for 1882. The increase
is greater among white than among
colored women. About two-thirds Of
the women arrested for drunkenness
do not stand trial, as many of them
are Of the upper middle class and for
felt collateral rather than appear in
court. There are many repeaters,
some coming to the Detention Home
as often as three times a month.
When women are too drunk to
know where they are going. taxicab
drivers bring them to the Detention
Home. In the case of men, they are
taken to the police stations. Some
will request the taxicab driver to take
me to Gallinger Hospital" the munic-
ipal hospital, which Is usually so
crowded that it is difficult to get the
service they need.
Arrests of women over 81 for mis-
demeanors increased 9.5 per cent in
1884 and 227 per cent in 1885 over
those in 1882. Felonies, however,
showed much greater increase. The
increase in 1888 was 48.6 per cent;

A thousand miles Of wilder

The vast, clean emptiness OF it,
stretching endlessly stepped in
silence. Dark, St earth-pale,
still sky-meeting, melting in
the long, shining line of the

Could you be one with them

youngster ever gets a real break
who doesn't know it.
So little to see in that vast

come. One tall, white cloud,
perhaps, piling itself up, billoW
upon radiant billow, until, at
last, it broke free from the
earth and hung there, high and
luminous, with its long, violet
shadow spreading in a great

Or sometimes the rain. You

straight and strong, from the

room, you would wonder that
you had lived as long as you
have.
When your muscles undertake
any exertion whatsoever, they
use up, or burn" fatty tissue de-
posted near them by the blood.
Should you use up this fatty
tissue, or fuel" faster than
your blood stream can furnish
a fresh supply. you become
tired. This is the warning Tor
you to ease up.
When you take a rest, you
give your blood an opportunity
to lay down more fatty tissue,
thereby preparing you for the
next demand for power.
The fatty tissue is burned"
much as is the fuel in a fire
place, except that the combus-
tion occurs at lower tempera-
ture. Burning is oxidizing. Oxl-
dizing requires oxygen. Oxygen
is brought by the blood Efrom
the lungs. The lungs get it
from the air.
AS for the fuel, whether in
the form of coal, wood, oil or
fatty tissue, it is carbon and
hydrogen. When these are oXi-
died they give off heat and
energy.
COORDINATED
The products of the combus-
tion are carbon dioxide and
water. These are picked up
by the blood, which starts with
them Immediately for the lungs,
where they are eliminated by
exhalation into the surround
ing air.

matically sends an impulse to
the intercostal muscles to make
the lungs open wider, and also
speed up. You breathe deeper
and faster, which supplies the
additional oxygen that is needed
by your power plant.
This is the procedure under
ordinary circumstances.
But now suppose an emer-
gency arises. You have no
warning. You must jump from
repose to the most violent exer-
tion. But, your power plant
was built for this very thing,
and even though you were lying
asleep, and were suddenly
awakened to engage suddenly
in mortal combat, which count
less of your ancestors have
done, your power plant will
give a good account of itself.
Instantly it's mechanism
snaps into action every little
capillary in its intricate con-
Struction coordinating perfectly.
You start using up fatty It's
sue at a terrible rate. The
products of combustion pour
into your blood stream. Your
lungs get word instantly, and
start pulsating widely and
rapidly. The millions of tiny
capillaries, which convey fresh
blood to your muscles, open
wide.
YEAR AFTER YEAR
The same telegram" that
opened them, Speeded up your
heart. Torrents of fresh blood,
loaded with oxygen from the
lungs, are fed to the hardwork-

the products of combustion are
carried back to the lungs and
emptied into the atmosphere.
The directing power, which
seems to act with intelligence,
telegraphS the situation to your
kidneys and liver, and, as
though in a spirit of coopera-
ton, these organs shut their
valves and close off the blood
supply. They can wait until
the emergency is over.
Thus, the entire mechanism
concentrates upon furnishing
every ounce OF blood to the
struggling muscles. Your power
plant, if you have not abused
it, is a marvellous piece OF
machinery.

Once Overs
Fatalistic Phobias Are
Better Forgotten

It is strange to contemplate
how many human beings live In
fear of something.
Strong, robust, apparently
healthy fellows often fear they
may be attacked by the dis
eases which usually affect the
weak and anemic.
Others believe they would be
sure to have a mishap if they
were to ride in an aeroplane.
These people do not enjoy
a train ride because of the
conviction that they are doom
ed to meet death in a wreck.
Others are uneasy every time
they ride in an automobile
driven by anyone but them
selves.
Still others dread death by
drowning.
People of this type are so
sure of their fateS that they
frequently talk of their fears.
Their minds are seldom free
from thoughts of what may be-
fall them.
Isn't it silly for any man to
allow himself to be convinced
that he is doomed to meet
death in some certain way?

persons with a fatality" COM
