of the Georgia W.C. T. l\, has just
returned from a lecturing tour in tire
north and west and everywhere she
| says that Georgia is being widely slan
dered as to tier prohibition law and
its results, it is constantly troth writ
ten and said tlrat the law is a farce
and that the people are already tired
of it ; tlrat n real enforcement of it is
not even attempted, and many other
things equally and shamelessly un
true.
All this is part of the liquor cam
paign to protect the remnants of the
territory they contrrl. und it is only
the same thing that has been going
on all over the country for fitly years
back with regard to tire state of
Maine. We Georgians have been
taught to believe that the Maine law
was a farce too, but if so it was a farce
so hurtful to tire liquor trade that
every effort, has been made both Witli-
tir and withoui the slate to break it
down. Weve-al times Iras the vote
been taken tlrsouglrorrt the stale to

firm for its preservation. They know
What is protecting the “personal lib
erty” of the people at large; the iron-
drinking public.
Audit will be the same way with
, tire people of Georgia. An object lcs-
j son will tcaclr those who cannot learn
it engorged, paralyze ils action and
so make the man forgetful, and he
may imagine he has been asleep; but
it is not a natural, healthful sleep,
end he does not feel rested and re
freshed utter it as he does from real
sleep.
l)r. Richardson says or himself that
during the time when he drank daily,
as some oilier people do, a period of
nearly thirty years, lie never had
what may be called truly natural
sleep, never with the same freedom
I n Kentucky 9(5 of the 119 counties

from the stigma of ‘•Kentucky Col-

this eighteenth century type of citi

statutory prohibition passed by lire
bouse, was amended and returned by
the senate. The house did not no-1
cept the amendment, but p assed a new ’

to the senate. It remains to be seen
what the senate wilt do with the bill
as amended.

have refused to ‘‘stand up and be

that their constituents will lir.d some

31st declares it unlawful for fowa na

The custom of beer drinking at night
to produce sleep is a very prevalent
one, and it is not surprising when wc
remember that it has been advertised
as an innocent and wholesome anodyne
from time immemorial, and indorsed
by prominent physicians too. But
the new and more accurate informa
tion about alcohol shows this custom
upas most pernicious and dangerous!
to health, injuring the nerves, the
drain and the stomach.
Alcohol is a narcotic, aud when
sleep is apparently produced by beer
we are only deceived in thinking so ;
it is not really sleep, but a state of
narcotism that covnterfeits it An
English docotsay, “When a man
says ‘ l want a quiet night, 1 will take,
a sleeping draught,’ he speaks in par
ables. To express tire fact plainly he
should say,‘I want a quiet night, I can
not obtain it Ly going to sleep, or 1
nm afraiil to trust to the changes of
natural rest, so I will poison myself-
just a little, just - enough to make me
unconscious, or slightly paralyze my
nerve centers, not enough to kill.’ If
this fact could lie kept clearly before
the mind, the reckless use of drugs
which produce a state that mocks
sleep would lie limited.”
The state of inaction ■which is
brought about, by natural sleep is very
different from that which is produced
by paralysis in any degree. The real
reason for this is. that the action of
the brain is different. In sleep tire
brain rest, it is quiet and' reduced
in size. But the action of alcohol is
to send blood to' thelrrSin’ and make
business in tire state after being once
enjoined. This decision is expected to
put seventy-three Davenport saloons
out of business.
