The fourth stage of alcoholic option is
witnessed when a man is in the condi-
tion popularly known as " dead drunk."
He cannot hear. feel. nor see. All con-
trol of his limbs is lost. his body feels
cold to the touch, and were it not for his
labored breathing ho wduld a pear to be
within the actual embrace 0 Death it-
self. Argument to prove that such
an unnatural state is an unheal-
thy state seems- superfluous. No
one. certainly, can deny that continued
excess‘ea of this sort. accompanied as
they usually are by exposure that would
ruin the health of tom rate people,
must hasten the process 0 bodily decay
and bring the victim to a premature
death. _
It is interesting and instructive to no-
tion the cflect of alcohol upon the heart.
The heart is the engine of the body and
no such rforms a great amount of
work. he Divine Creator has given it
just the amount of work that it can well
rforui so long as man remains in per-
ect health. In a healthy adult the
heart beats about 100,000 times in twen-
t -four hours, and maps over five
t our-and ounces of hood through the
body. Thin amount of work been
wientiflonlly computed as equivnlont to

of 12 on Saturday nights and 18 on Sun-
day nights. 1nd nlao to enforce these
prohibitions vigorously. and with ex-
emlalarly penalties.

so great here as were those lenses. The
poor working man wanted to see it be-
cause his living comes from those clam»
min; and oyster grounds; and by the way
'who is the poor man? In answer we
would say. that it. is he that makes presi-
dents, governors, and state‘s attorueya,
b his all-powerful elective franchise.
The South Nor-walk Oyster Association
is the only hope of the poor working
man. for the safety of our natural
raivth oyster and clammlug grounds.

and one-half of all the taxes we pay is
for that purpose. The state also givcn

to protect it by the product of the-e

At this time n little boy was asked
the question, "How is your Uncle Hi-
