W urzburg university, G er many (international reputation): “ Iu an exhaustive definition w e shall have to class every substance as a poison which on becoming mixed with the blood causes a disturbance in the func tions o f any organ. That alcohol is such a substance cannot be doubted. Very appropriately has the Kngltsh language named the disturbance caus ed by alcoholic beverages intoxication, which by derivation means poisoning.” Dr. J. F.

The most remarkable tiling about these roads is the cost, which is only about one-sixth as much n* the stone and gravel roads o f tho northern states. Hoads 15 feet w ide are being con structed In Orange county in the vlclnl- ty o f Orlando and W in ter Park for $.»00 per mile, and where convict labor can be had, which fortunately is very scarce lu Florida, good roads have been built for $250 per mile. This remark ably low cost Is due to the fact that these roads were built by simply m ix ing the sand, o f which the original roads were composed, with clay, which has beeu discovered at various points in the state. A large deposit o f this clay was discovered near Bartow, and many o f the streets and roads in Orange county have been built by m ix ing Bartow clay with sand, which, when placed upon the prepared sand foundation and rolled, so consolidates and cements together as to form a compact and smooth surface. A fte r these roads are once built they are not worn and cut to pieces like the high ways o f the north, due to the fact that uo deep freezes occur to disrupt their surfaces and foundations In winter and that the w ater flows rapidly to tho »Ides o f the road during continued rains and sinks into the Handy soil alongside. Another reason why these roads do not wear rapidly Is that many o f the vehicles In Florida, even the buggies aud light spring wagons, have been provided with wide tires and have thus become roudmokers. As a result o f wide tires and good drniunge some o f the street* o f Urlauilo, Fla., which were built over ten years ago o f sand and clay, are as good.

B rew er* and L lq n o r D e a le r * C o n s id e r e d G o od . Ifo t An exnmlnlng physician fo r a life In surance company. In speaking o f the death o f a wealthy brewer, was quoted last week as saying thnt brewers and liquor dealers are considered us a class to he very bad risks, no m atter how healthy they seem to be when exam ined, says the N ew York Sun. Some o f the life Insurance companies refuse to Issue policies to them. The physician said that he didn't mean to Intimate thut us a class the brewers were Intemperate, but thnt tasting a little here and a little there all during the day usually charged their systems with more alcohol than was safe. Bartenders ns a class are as sturdy a looking lot o f met] ns the po licemen, and yet because o f their grad ual absorption o f alcohol they are put down as bad risks. The rating o f risks la not a m atter of guesswork with the insurance com panies. It Is their business to know ns accurately as they may from carefully kept statistics Just what the death rate Is In various pursuits. It hap|>ens sometimes, however, that the exnm- 1 tiers make mistakes. A Brooklyn man celebrated his nine ty-third birthday reeently by w ritin g to nn Insurance company which Issued a policy to him many years ago and call ing to their attention the fact that ho was tw ice rejected by tbelr examiner as a bad rl«k liefore they accepted him. Only six or seven other policy holders o f tills company who were accepted when this man was are still alive. An officer o f one o f the big companies said several days ago that life Insurance now was largely a matter o f statistics, which were piling up nil the time and reducing the margin o f guesswork.
