It is by far the finest line we have ever offered to the public. The delusive theory that the appetite for alcohol is rational and should b e gratified within certain limits d a t e s back to the old Grecian philosophers, nays D. T. Oothers, M. D. Its fallacy has been shown over and over again, aud its restatement and defense at this time by Judge Woodbrtdge Strong of New Brunswick, N. J.. in his ruling on protests recently made before him against the issuance of saloon licenses Indicates a sad Inflation and want of knowledge regarding the conclusions of science and has the faroflf sound of one who is lost til the inarch of events. Upon issuing the licenses asked for Judge Strong announced it ns his con viction that the appetite for alcoholic liquor Is as natural as that for food and that this appetite should be satis fied ns a God given desire, claiming that its existence in all races of men, ancient and modern, proves It ns such. That the appetite for alcohol is never natural, hut always unnatural and ab* normal, is evidenced beyond dispute. It is n certain sign of defects of both brain and nervous system. It Is also nn expression of physical and psychic al distress, of Imperfect and deranged activity of the brain centers and vital forces, and It may be literally called a cry for relief and rest. Alcohol, when taken, opens up a new world of feel ing. covering lip the old sense of un rest. discomfort and pain. This Is done by temporary palsy of the sensory cen ters. followed by a delusive feeling of comfort. This palsy is temporary and reacts in a certain intensification of ev ery condition which has created the de sire for its use. To both the savage and civilized man the use of alcohol reveals new feelings, new experiences. To the degenerate and the exhausted brain and body and tin? faulty nervous energies it covers up a consciousness of their presence and brings a new sense of change and rest. In all this the alcoholic appetite Is disease, degeneration and death, al ways masked and ? -arely realized by the victim until recovery Is impossible. The alcoholic appetite Is literally disso lution ami a short, lurid march to old age and death. It is the opposite of ev olution and can never be natural, God given or trained in certain limits. The presence of alcohol in almost ev ery clime and race and the facility of procuring it. together with its delusive action, are not the products of nature for tlie evolution of tho race, but the means for dissolution and destruction. If the poppy could be grown iu all parts of the world, opium would very largely take the place of alcohol, and the same appetite which finds relief from alcohol would turn to this drug. The alcoholic appetite Is Inherited or acquired and may be actually grown and cultivated like a plant, coming from soils of exhaustion, starvation, self poisoning, and Increased by brain nnd body Haws aud perversions of cell and nerve activity. The favoring con ditions may all be present when a sin gle glass of spirits will fertilize nnd cause them to spring into activity. The alcoholic appetite is a signal flag of dis tress pointing out injuries which have come down from the past or grown up In the present. Its control means re moval of the causes and favorable con ditions for its growth and restoring tlie lost vigor nnd energy which it signal izes. The alcoholic appetite leads to mental and physical suicide. Science indicates the possibility of its final ex tinction and llie literal breaking up of all use of alcohol as a beverage.

The fallacy lu this argument will be clearly seen If It is stilted in the form of a syl logism. All foods are oxidized lu the body. Alcohol Is oxidized lu tiie body, there fore alcohol is a food. Let us take some oilier sulistnnces thnt arc known to be oxidized in the liody. I'liospliorus is ox idized I d the liody, therefore phospho rus is a food.

Apply the syllogism and see how this will bear the test of logic. Morphine, when taken luto the body, reduces tis sue waste, therefore morphine Is a food. Arsenic diminishes tissue waste, therefore arsenic is a food. And so we might multiply by going through the whole list of narcotic poisons. What can be said in defense of such sophistry?

The cookery of the present «lay, gays a prominent physician, is conducted so ns to eliminate nearly all the vegetable salts. The water lu which they have been cooked is thrown away, nnd when the food is ready for tiie table It lias been deprived of many of Its natural properties. Vegetable salts are espe- I daily serviceable when given In the form of food, and If we would mitigate I the misery caused by rheumatism and j various skin diseases we must begin ! by reform in the kitchen.
