C'B Tho labor Icadors aro beginning to vH teach through tho pages of their Jour- H nals tho nnture and effects of alcohol ;H upon tho physical organl'stri. Tho fol- ' lowing Is from tho United Mlno Work- dll era' Journal; 'fH "Not all hard drinkers nro fat, but. i tho tendency of alcoholics to obesity VH Is too marked to OBcnpo notice, A. , H wollknown doctor says It is bocauso . 'H tho alcohol usurps tho function of tho ' H fat, which accumulates. This is how. 4H ho explains It: ) ''H "It Is noticcablo thnt those addicted' ) H to tho uso of alcoholic beverages often. 'H rovcal a tendency to corpulcnco which. ' lH Is proportionate to their ubo of tho j .H drug. Tho fatness Is not n sign of I H health. It 1b not oven an Indication H thnt nlcohol Is harmless. It Is merely H the result of tho comploto oxidization 'H of tho BUbstanco of alcohol by tho. H human body. Tho body will oxldtzo n H twoounco (jUnntlty of alcohol In 21 H hours, and will do It so completely H that no traco of alcohol can bo found) H In any excretory substnnco.

Tho fat Is. xl thcroforo stored up in tho body un- H used, and corpulcnco Is tho necessary 11 result. This, of course, Ib not n nor- ' fH mal condition nor a proper process. ll It becomes moro unnatural with In- n creasing uso of nlcohol." TH iM STOP ALL DRINKING.

H This is whnt tho Homo Llfo Instil- M nnco company of Now York has to say M about beer: M "Of all intoxicating drinks, it Is tho jH most anlmallzlng. It dulls tho Intel- H loctual and moral and feeds tho son- 19 sual and beastly nature. Boyond all SjJB other drinks, It qualllles for deliberate M and unprovoked crlmo. In this ro- ?J spoct it Is much worse than distlllod PW liquors. A whisky drinker will com- rW mlt murder only under tho dlroct ox- r5? cltoment of liquor, a beor drinker l HJiffl capable of doing it in cold blood. Long- KffPv, observation has assurod us that a el?! largo proportion of murders deliberate- axS ly planned and oxocuted, without pas- wlsS slon or malice, with no other motlvo ffil than tho acquisition of proporty or kO' monoy, often of trilling valuo, aro por- pT&H' potrated by beer drinkers." f "w TO THE VOTER.
