any one to proclaim morphine for this

rro fes s o r II. W. Oouu o f Wesleyan
university: “ A physicist could exper
iment with gunpowder and prove that
it Is easily oxidized and gives rise to
a large amount o f beat and energy.
From this It m ight bo argued that gun
powder Is a most useful kind o f fuei
for cooking stoves. Such a conclusion
M-ould be hardly loss logical tbun the
conclusions that have boon drawn from
these experiments with alcohol aud
which regard it as a useful food for

safe fuel I localise o f Its econdary e f
fects, and In the same way the food
value o f alcohol cannot be determined
by Its pow er o f being oxidized, hut
must Include the consideration o f Its
secondary effects nrf w ell.”
H. F. Ile w ia , 34- D.t o f Harvard,
says o f Professor A tw a ter’s experi
ments: “ These experiments merely
show that the body can derive some
energy from alcohol. This does not In
Itself entitle alcohol to be placed
am ong the food substances In the hy

sense in which the schools and people
in general use the term food. If It did,
such a violent poison as muscarine, the
active principle o f the poisonous plants
o f the mushroom fam ily, would have to
be classed with tWtfBoods. since It also
Is oxidized in the f*eSy with liberation
o f its j.itab e.d e n '" ' * .”
Dr. fTTijaler. S■•.it«- 'L ie . (.H'd.-4Ji.'tf o f
Inebr'ety. April. I 8 D 8 , 1 7 H j “ The

Even the moderate use
as now practiced is injurious.”
Dr. Bclval, France (French Journal
o f H ygien e): “ P erfectly pure ethyl al
cohol Itself exercises a dangerous ac
tion upon "The. animal economy and
must be considered as a true poison.”
Dr. Adolph Fick. late professor of
physiology. 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. Payne (address published In
London Lancet, tiecom bcr. 1888). con
sidering at length the question ns to
whether alcohol is a poison, defines a
I* )is o n as “ a substance capable o f In
juring the body either by causing dam
age to the tissues or by producing
functional disturbance.” He concluded
that alcohol 1« a poison In both senses.
Dr. A. Forel, professor o f nervous

which change« pathologically the tls

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

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.

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

"Yes, she." reiterated the clerk. “ I
do not know whut the bar would do fo r

T h e saddest tiling about the m atter Is
that the custom Is grow ing moro and
more prevalent.
“ You can see wlmt nn easy thing It

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.
Certain causes produce certain effects,
and one o f tho most potent Influences
on a mail's health is his daily work.

In the days o f knighthood every man
carried a sword and was ready to slash
his neighbor upon the slightest pretext.
W hen friends met, they grasped on«»
another by the right hand, thereby In
dicating penreabla Intentions, as each
one thus gave up to the other his fight
