to study and become a success in
life.
The way it works out now in the
helter-skelter, haphazard, hit-or-miss
love many boys leave school
with no ties and no fixed purpose.
This class of youths become wander
ers on the face of the earth". Some
end as bums.
A community of parents raise an
equal number of boys and girls. They
spend their hard-earned cash on
boys, who later in life show their in
gratitude by leaving that community,
leaving old maids behind to become
the husbands elsewhere. But how
do the girls come out back home who
are educated, cultured, refined and
who are entitled in justice to hus
bands in these men who wander
away because of our faulty educa
tional system? Allen Steven, 3325

COMFORTLESS STATIONS.
Public comfort stations are vry fine
things, but not when like the one in
the basement of the city hall or in
barber shops, where a colored gent
stands at the door and if you don't
give him a tip he gives you a look
that means "Stay out" In the bar
room I can get, if I want to tip, a
beer, cigar or lemonade for it. G. F.
PHYSIOLOGY OF ALCOHOL
Alcohol is grouped with the narcot
ice and the anaesthetics, producing a
temporary stimulation of the brain,
followed by a diminishment or a sus
pension of the brain functions.
Applied to the skin (evaporation
prevented) it causes inflammation.
When taken into the mouth it in
creases the flow of the gastric juices.
Constant invitation may cause gas
tric catarrh and other abnormal con
ditions. When one per cent of the digestive
mixture in the stomach it helps di
gestion. Above five per cent it re
tards it It stimulates the heart
through the nerves of the stomach;
this increases the heart's beats; later
this falls below the normal. When,
absorbed into the blood it affects the
heart directly.
Alcohol paralyzes the cells. This
prevents the breaking down of the
fat particles, and with a lesser de
gree the carbohydrates. This spares
fat Alcohol burns itself up. It is
not a good source of heat It dilates
the surface blood vessels, allowing
more heat to escape than it produces
itself.
The alcohol not oxidized is excret
ed. Constant irritation of the excre
tary organs may result in functional
disorders.
It stimulates the brain, dilating
cerebral blood vessels; dullness fol
lows. It accumulates in nerve tissue
more than in any other. Nervous
disorders result It has been found
on administering moderate doses
that mental weakening has been ex
hibited in simple arithmetic, spelling,
etc.
As a food it replaces to a certain
degree fat and carbohydrates. It
oxidizes too rapidly. For extended
mental work it is poor. It hastens
fatigue in muscle work. It is favora
ble to digestion when taken at the
right time and in the correct amount
It is unnecessary in health. M. H.
EATING WITH SERVANTS.
Should a servant, man or woman, be
put at another table to dine or not?
Are these rich people that go to
church on Sunday and say their
prayers Christians? Did our Lord re
fuse to eat with servants or poor peo
ple? No, I don't think He did. When
these people come home from church,
sit down to a big Sunday dinner in
the diningroom and let the servants
eat at another table, what do you
call it, an old custom, a religious act,
a good principle or what? I call it
proud hypocrisy.
Now I do not belong to any church
and am not a fanatic on religion, but
if I should ever keep servants they
shoud not eat at another table like a
cat or dog. Miss Eva Doyle.
