QUAKER MAKES APT
Liquor Dealer Who Declared He Kept
Decent Place Is Told Just What
He Does to Mankind.
During a lively discussion on the
subject of temperance in an Alle-
gheny mountain stage, says the Chris-
tian Endeavor World, one of the
company who had hitherto remained
silent, said:
“Gentlemen, I want you to under-
stand that I am a liquor dealer. I
keep a public houseJ at -, but I
would have you know that I have
license, and keep a decent house,
don’t allow loafers and loungers
about my place, and when a man has
enough, he can’t get any more at my
bar. 1 sell to decent people, and do
respectable business.”
“Friend,” replied a Quaker, “that is
the most terrible part of thy business,
thee takes the young, the poor, the in-
nocent and the unsuspecting, making
drunkards and loafers of them. When
their character and money are all
gone, thee kicks them out and turns
them over to the other shops to fin-
ish off, and thee ensnares others and
sends them on the same road tc
ruin.”

A series of interesting experiments
was conducted by Exner of Vienna to
determine the reaction time of the
brain with and without alcohol, and it
was found that no one’s intellect was
at its best even under moderate doses
of this drug. The experiment was con-
ducted as follows. The subject was
placed at a telegraphic table with fin-
ger on the key and at the flash of
light was required to press the key.
It wras proved- that the reaction time
of imbibers was lengthened over that
of the abstainers even when small
quantities of alcohol were taken. A
number of complicated experiments
were made on reaction time involving
color signals. A telegraph key was
placed on the right and left of the
subject and signalized by alternating
flashes of red and white light. It was
proven that more mistakes were made
after the ingestion of one glass of beer
than before it w-as taken.

Made Into Things of Beauty by the
Clever Hands of the Up-to-
Date Milliner.
Here and there one sees an alluring
poke bonnet brought to life by the mil-
liner who is clever enough to know
that the old fashions are being re-
vived, and if women w ish to look like
old prints they must have hats and
mantles to go with the gowns.
The revival of the poke bonnet has
met with approval because in its mod-
ern shape it Is exceedingly becoming
and does not clash with the ideas of
present millinery. It is not a scoop;
it merely has a rounded brim in front
to shade the eyes, and is turned up
with a flap in the back. There is a
chin band of black velvet or colored
satin ribbon and a bunch of flowed
over one ear.
The milliners make these old-time
flowered mantles to go with the hat,
and the same color scheme is sup-
posed to be carried out in the two. If
a woman is going to attempt trim-
mind such a hat and making such a
wrap at home, it is wise for her to
remember this.

Picturesque Note.
Even In the matter of tailor-made
gowns a certain picturesque note as-
serts itself this season, the severity
of the coats, for example, being very
frequently softened by the introduc-
tion of frilled jabots of net and lace,
emphasizing the Directoire style in
which the collars and revers are cut.
The coats themselves, too, show a
very becoming fullness, both back
and front, above the curved lines of
stitched strappings with which so
many cf the basques are finished. The
j fabrics which are employed for some
j of these tailor-made gowns are in
j themselves exceedingly, picturesque
%ind far more decorative than the
smooth cloths and fine serges which
have been used hitherto for gowns of
this description.
Change Purse Bracelets.
Change purse bracelets are among
the new pieces of jewelry. The purse,
shaped like a tiny circular powder
puff box, has a closely fitted spring-
operated lid which flies back at a
touch and reveals a space for nickels
and dimes. It Is attached to a self-
closing extension bracelet so narrow
that it scarcely shows upon the wrist,
and the purse Itself is so flat that it
readily slips out of sight under the

I havi waged twet fights, one against
slavery and the other against ' the

against slavery and after reconstruc-

the overthrow of the liquor traffic.
And you know, Merwin, that my purse
and my heart and my influence and
all that 1 have and all that I am will
go into that work.”
ALCOHOL HURTS THE MEMORY
-—*—•—•
Karl Vogt, Distinguished German
Naturalist. Gives Result of Inter-
esting Experiments.
To the “Medical Annual” for 1912
we are indebted for the following:
“Karl Vogt, the distinguished German
naturalist, found that alcohol had a
deleterious effect on the memory.
After taking about one ounce of al-
cohol after breakfast, he found that
he required a longer time to learn
off bv heart a portion of Greek verse.
If the alcohol was taken on an empty
stomach this action was much more
marked, and was seen with a smaller
dose. On revising his work some
months later, he found that the lines
learned under the influence of alcohol
were more imperfectly remembered
than those learned on the days when
no alcohol was used.
