WHEN IS A MAP* DRUNK
To the Editor: -
How 1 wish that every one could read
an article under the above heading in
the American magazine for April, As
that is improbable, I will try to con-
dense it for your readers.
Scientific experts say that one little
drink will set you back seven per cent
in physical endurance and fifteen per
cent in your ability to remember things.
This is no temperance lecture. It is
the findings of cold scientific accuracy
and shows the moderate drinker that
he does not need to make a fool of
himself to get drunk. One glass of
beer will make him drunk in the sense
that he will be that much less of a man
than he was before in body and brain.
We all want life and want it more
abundantly, but science shows us that
alcohol in any form and even in small
quantities lessens our life, our vitality
and our efficiency.
One of the first things the scientists
found out when they commenced to
measure drunkenness was that every
man who drank alcoholic liquors wail
drunk -in degree -for two or three
days afterwards. Now it may be too
much to ask the moderate drinker to
believe that. He thinks he has in-
creased his vitality, instead of lessening
it, but there is no getting over the
ergograph or the hundreds of memory
tests. The ergograph is a little instru-
ment that tests muscular strength and
endurance, first without alcohol for
several days, and then with a glass of
wine after meals for several days.
These experiments were duplicated
hundreds of times.
It would require too much space to
describe the other tests and the mach-
ines used to secure accuracy. The
results prove that a man cannot write
as fast or accurately after one drink,
and the strange part of it is that he
thinks he is writing,more rapidly. That
has fooled many a man.
The memory tests were interesting
and instructive. These were carried
on for two weeks without alcohol, and
the result showed, first, that memory
power was weakened fifteen per cent;
second, that when alcohol was taken
before breakfast, it required four
times as long to memorize agi.ven task.
Dr. Ridge, an English physiologist,
carried out a series of experiments on
medical students, nurses and porters,
to ascertain the effect of liquor on
eyesight, with the startling result that
the average man who had taken the
equivalent of a pint of beer had to
approach twenty feet nearer to read
letters that he bad read at thirty feet
the day before, and that the effect
lasted from four to five hours after
drinking.
When we consider how much depends
in this awful war upon the vigor of
body and clearance of brain of our
soldiers and when we think that they
are not only permitted, but are actually
tempted to drink, that a few men make
money, it shows us that a large number
of people are still ignorant of the true
nature of this terrible poison

Deafness Gannot be Gured
by Local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the nucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the nucous
surfaces.
We will give. One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

LOOK TO YOUR CLOTHING, DIET
AND EXERCISE.
Dr. J. B. Modesitt, health authority
and director of the physical department
of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. has issued
the following instructions to the 6,000
members of the association:
If you are not well in warm weather,
look to your clothing, diet and exercise.
Wear light clothing, light enough to
toughen the skin.
Get as much sunlight on your skin as
possible; tan it up rich and brown.
Girls need to throw away their
parasols and get the sunlight full in
their faces and on their necks, throats,
shoulders and arms.
Even the wind and rain against the
naked skin is good for the skin
People should not wear hate in the
sunlight, unless the day is so hot that
injury may result.
Become a vegetarian -vegetables and
fruit should now compose your diet.
Two or three times a week is as much
as anyone should eat meat in hot
weather.
Eat what nature has provided, fresh

MR. WHITMAN
382 St. Valier St., Montreal.
"In 1912, I was taken suddenly ill
with Acute Stomach Trouble and
dropped in the street. I was treated
by several physicians for nearly two
years. I was in constant misery from
my stomach and my weight dropped
down from 225 pounds to 160 pounds.
Several of my friends advised me to try
'Fruit-a-tives' and I did so. That was
eight months ago. I began to improve
almost with the first dose. No other
medicine 1 ever used acted so pleasantly
and quickly as 'Fruit-a-tives', and by
using it I recovered from the distressing
Stomach Trouble, and all pain and
Consti;5alion and misery were cured. I
completely recovered by the use of
'Fruit-a-tives' and now I weigh 208
pounds. I cannot praise 'Fruit-a-tives'
enough". H. WHITMAN.

Exercise enough to insure a good
system of elimination and of circulation.
You can't assimilate your food
properly without a proper circulation.
For the average business man 1 would
advocate a light workout in the
gymnasium or outdoors at least three
days a week. This will give the sweat
glands a chance to keep in good con-
dition, and the sweat glands and
kidneys will then eliminate all the
poisons of the body.
The way to keep cool in summer is to
keep clean.

THIS APPLIES HERE, TOO,
(Buffalo News,)
Nature is lavish in her gifts.
No sooner has the shroud of snow
disappeared from the countryside than
she hastens to greet us with a nosegay.
Peeping from under the carpet of
brown leaves the hepatica smiles at us,
The nooks .and crannies of the woods
hold masses of spring flowers - the
violet, the anemone, the myrtle.
The lure of the spring weather takes
thousai,ds of city folks out into the
green out-of-doors.
The interurban cars are crowded with
people eager to smell the newly -turned
soil, to expore the woods in search of
these little messengers of hope and
beauty.
All this is good. It is necessary to
good health and recreation.
But there is need for a plea for con-
servation of our wild flowers.
The wild flower area is being con-
stantly driven farther away. Where
once they grew in profusion, now they
are rare.
Why is this? The answer can be
supplied by anyone who has noticed the
return of the city dweller from his
country excursion. He brings back
arms full of flowers - great bunches
plucked with careless abandon.
Wild flowers are lovely. We would
not prohibit the city man, woman and
child sharing their beauty. But we
would suggest that a limit be set upon
their gathering.
Let us help save the wild flowers!
Gather a few, certainly. But let us
not render the woods desolate by
thoughtlessly stripping them, Let us
leave some for others; and leave enough
to seed and propogate.
Do not let us spoil the witchery of the
woods.

A Word of Gratitude
"In justice to humanity I want to tell
you that I was a great sufferer from
itching piles, and have found Dr.
Chase's Ointment the best treatment
obtainable," writes Mr. Fred Hinz,
Brodhagen, Ont. "It gives instant re-
lief and I' can recommend it to any
sufferer from this dreadful disease."
HOUSEHOLD HINTS

'The. Gold Dust Twins'
Pliilosopizy
HE floors and doors appear to wait until the dust germs con'
gregate ; the housewife hails each dawning day with, grim and
harrowing dismay. Says she : "My work will NEVER end;'
o'er dusty stretches I must bend, until, with aching back and hands
I finish what the day demands."
Then Mrs. Jones, one afternoon, drop-
ped in, at time most opportune. An
optimist, she knew the wiles of house-
hold work- its sighs and smiles. She
told of how she polished floors and wood-
work and the endless doors, until when Hubby saw them, too,
reflections said: "Why, howdy -do!"
"The Gold Dust Twins," said she, "I find, help leave the woes
of dust behind. Each mark of sticky hands on doors, each tread of
muddy feet on floors, all fade before
the slightest touch of Gold Dust, and
the work is such that, when the
woodwork has been done, I find
said work was only fun." This
line of reasoning must show that
those who've tried it OUGHT to
know. "If you, in one day's duties,
find that there's a Grouch in ev'ry
Grind, invite the Gold Dust Twins
to share such tasks as tire and
fret and wear.
From kitchen floor to bedroom suite, these tireless little chaps make
neat, and best of all, the sum expense is measured up in meager cents.
They put both dust and,dirt to rout and run the last old microbe out.

Honey should be reckoned as food and
not merely a confection.
Whole wheat bread is always best
made up in very small loaves.
Oxalic Heid, disolved in hot water,
will clean paint from windows.
A red-hot iron will soften old putty
so that it can easily be removed.
Do your own thinking, and do not
be afraid to overwork your thinking
machine.
Never hurry with the family mend-
ing. It is not worth doing unless it
is done well.
Blunt skewers are fine for poking
out contrary corners of pillow -cases,
bags and such articles, when turning.
An iron stand which can be fasten-
ed to the ironing board is a great help
on ironing day.
Patent leather shoes should be
cleaned with milk, or a little sweet
oil may be rubbed into them.
To take the shine off a serge skirt
sponge with hot vinegar and rub un-
til the shine disappears.
In decorating the home have all the
rooms that are closely connected tint-
ed in harmonizing colors.
A small square of velveteen is ex-
cellent to use as a polishing cloth, and
is cheaper than chamois.
Spoons used in cooking should be
of wood as far as possible. A few
metal ones should be kept for mea-
suring.
Do a lot of baking before begin-
ning housecleaning. You may not
have time nor strength for it after
you get busy.
Many soaps are injurious to painted
wags and woodwork. It is safer to use
a little borax powder or ammonia in
the water when doing such cleaning.
Flies may be kept from damaging
gilt frames by going over them with
a soft brush dipped in a pint of wa-
ter in which three or four onions have
been boiled.
Do not use water or oil to clean gilt
picture frames, as both are injurious
Instead, apply the white of an egg
with a soft cloth, which will solve the
difficulty.
When a pot or teakettle has boiled
dry, pour boiled water into it, never
cold water. There will be little danger
of the vessel cracking, or of the enamel
peeling off if this is done immediately.
Children do not love working alone,
but enjoy laboring in a pleasant, com-
panionable way, especially if their co-
worker is a cheerful mother, and not
one who considers them as a bother.
A towel with an initial on it has a
dainty appearance. By using a little
ingenuity one may work the initials in
the form of a monogram that looks
neat and gives the towel a distinction
all its own.
When Buffalo moths or common
moths are in a carpet lay over it thick
wet cloths and press these with very
hot irons, driving. the steam down
through the carpet. Repeat to kill
later hatches.
