WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER.
Few people realize the importance
•f the words "Trade Mark” stamped
«n the goods they buy. If they did
tt would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of unscrupulous manufacturers
«ut of business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assui ; the entire re¬
sponsibility for the merit of his pro¬
duct. He takes his business reputa¬
tion in his hands—out in the lime¬
light—"on the square*’ with the buy
•r of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer—the one
who holds out “inducements,” offer¬
ing to brand all goods purchased with
«aeh local dealer’s brand—sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe¬
rior goods “come back” it’s the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro¬
tection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company’s ad¬
vertising of pure White Lead as the
test paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of pur¬
ity in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Ijead Company make to send free to
nay address a blow-pipe and instruc¬
tions how to test the white lead for
ttensmlves. The testing outfit is be¬
ing sent out from the New York
wt&ce of the company, Woodbridge
'Building.

A War That Descends From Father
to Son and Takes All Man’s
Strength to Finish.
The Fight Against Alcohol is Largely Physiological in Its Na¬
ture, Say the Medical Experts, Involving Many Com¬
dex Factors and Developing Some Remark¬
able Instances of Heroism.
War has its gains and its losses,
but the grim records of men who
fight the liquor habit to a finish,
when they are divested of every ele¬
ment of hysteria, every trace of
pathos, are as eloquent of tragedy as
the stories of individual strife on the
bloodiest battlefield.
A fairly large share of the tragedy
of the world is the tragedy of alcohol.
Physicians will tell you that what is
generally regarded as a moral and
psychological battle is in reality a
physiological battle—a fight against
disease. The neurologist, the special¬
ist in mental diseases, will declare
that the dipsomaniac who uses every
effort of will power and resorts to
the aid of science to be freed from
the curse of drink is a victim of
heredity; he fights a double battle—
that against himself and that against
his ancestors.
A peculiarly disheartening feature
of this conflict of man against the
enemy which overwhelms him, in the
view of the scientific observer, is the
waning resistance of the victim’s will
under the insidious and aggressive
power of alcohol. Usually the victim
is unaware that each fresh wrestle
with the enemy weakens his deter¬
mination, giving alcohol, in its physi¬
ological action, a distinct advantage.
The purpose of this article is to
record plain, unembellished stories
of men in all clases of life who did
their best to overcome the drink
habit. Some of them won out, and
some were defeated. Some of them
are alive, and others dead. In some
instances the will power alone seems
to have been the conquering agent,
while in other cases artificial aid in
the shape of the newer devices of
science were brought into play.
A Case of Inheritance.
The first instance is that of a
brain-worker, a man in his early for¬
ties. His story, as told to the writer
by himself, Indicates a strong hered¬
itary element.
“My father,” he said, “drank mod¬
erately in his early manhood. He re¬
ceived a sabre cut on the head in the
Civil War, and I feel sure that his
mentality was impaired as a result.
“Later in his life he began to drink
heavily. He was clearly a victim of
alcohol. Finally he became practical¬
ly a mental wreck from it, and he
ended his life with a shotgun. Two
of my mother’s brothers died as the
result of drink.
“I began to drink at fourteen; in
fact, at that age I walked four miles
through the snow at night to a distil¬
lery to get brandy. I got a gallon of
it, and with the assistance of some
young friends drank it. I kept on
drinking. When a young man I be¬
gan to study for the ministry. I put
in three years taking a course in
theology, and as a student preached
in three parishes in one of the South¬
ern States. I still drank, and I sud¬
denly abandoned all thought of the
church.
“It was necessary to do something
else, and I engaged in literary work.
I kept on drinking, and I lost position
after position. I was prevailed upon
to try one of the so-called ‘cures.’
I remained in the institution for
five weeks, taking the full course of
treatment. A week later I was drunk,
and I kept on getting drunk. A year
passed and I took the same course of
treatment, but two days later I was
drunk again. Then I took another
variety of ’cure,’ got drunk again,
repeated the latest treatment I had
tried, left the institution and went on
a prolonged drinking bout.
"I went on this way as the occasion j
arose until eighteen months ago.
Then I regained my senses after a
long spree and announced that in
thirty years I had had my share of
rum. I said I would drink no more,
and I have not touched liquor since. >»
In the northwestern part of the
State there is a lawyer, an old man
now, of whom his friends used to say:
“If it hadn’t been for rum he would
have been President of the United
States long ago.”
This man’s battle with alcohol and
the domination of his iron will is the
most remarkable instance of the kind
that has come under the personal ob¬
servation of the writer in an experi¬
ence in this line of observation ex¬
tending over two continents.
The lawyer, a brilliant man in his
profession and.-.-aii eloquent pleader
at the bar, was, to use his own ex¬
pression, “drunk for thirty-nine
years. He became involved in an
argument with a school principal one
day on the effects of alcohol on the
human anatomy.
“Why, "Judge,” said the teacher in
conclusion, “you couldn't stop drink¬
ing if you tried, and if you did you’d
die.” ___
“You're a liar, Sir„ to both of those
propositions,” was the furious retort.
“I’ve been drunk for thirty-nine years
and I’m an old man, but I’ll stop now.
Not another drop shall pass my lips.”
He did stop—for eight years. And
he did not die, but for three months
the struggle, mental and physical, was
as bitter as death itself.
Eight years later the old lawyer
was called to defend the prisoner in
a notorious murder case. He began
to drink again. That was eleven
years ago, and he has been drinking
ever since as heavily as in his younger
days.
The combination of a woman's in¬
fluence and the artificial support of a
so-called cure averted the threatened
wreck of the prospective happiness
of two young people in this city. A
young man who had a responsible po¬
sition as general agent of a great
wholesale house in this city was en¬
gaged to be married. A round of
social calls and after-theatre parties
in company with his fiancee was re¬
sponsible for his fondness for wine.
In a month he was readily classed as
a victim of drink.
The young woman viewed the situa¬
tion with increasing alarm, and finally
with growing horror and despair.
The young man fought the bitter
fight, but all his efforts to overcome
what had grown into a confirmed
habit were unavailing. Finally the
young woman said to him:
“Our engagement is at an end for
the present. Unless you have fore¬
sworn this habit inside of six months
our marriage is out of the question.”
The Value of Religion.
Still the man’s efforts to rehabili¬
tate himself were fruitless. One Sun¬
day morning the woman prevailed
upon him to go to church. After the
service she requested him to make a
call with her. Before he knew it he
was inside of an institution for the
treatment of the victims of alcohol.
He was informed that he must stay
there until cured. That was several
years ago, but he has not taken a
drink of any intoxicating beverage
since leaving the institution.
The following story was told to the
writer by a man who travels around
the world once a year, on the average,
and who has had many strange ex¬
periences in out-of-the-way places:
“Some* years ago, at Shepheard’s
Hotel, in Cairo I met a young man
who apparently, was engaged in a
most earnest endeavor to rid himself
of the liquor habit. He was a New
Yorker and wealthy, having inherited
a considerable fortune on the death
of his father.. Before leaving New
York he had taken three courses of
treatment in an institution whose
business is to cure inebriety.
A Case of Violence.
*< This man was twenty-eight or
twenty-nine years old, six feet three
inches tall, and altogether a splendid
physical specimen. He was accom¬
panied by a physician and a valet.
When in drink he was invariably in
a fighting mood, I was informed, and
this was the peculiar feature of his
case. He had been up the Nile to
Wady Haifa, then to Khartoum, and
down to Cairo, where I saw him.
With his attendants he boarded a P.
& O. steamer to go to India, and on
this part of his tour a steward had in¬
structions to watch him for eight
hours of the twenty-four. With the
doctor, valet and steward he had a
sort of three-shift watch over him.
“He boarded the P. & O. steamer
at Suez, and there he met some
friends he had known in Paris. Then,
despite the vigilance of his attend
ants, he obtained some intoxicant.
“The boat was steaming along
through the Red Sea on a calm, clear
night with a full moon. This young
man was in his pajamas and was sit
tins in his cabin talking to his valet,
whose watch it was. This ship had
large, square ports. Suddenly, with¬
out warning, the young man sprang
from his chair and dived through the
open port into the sea.
“Instantly there was the cry of
‘Man overboard!’ The big ship was,
stopped and then put full speed
astern. A moment later the young
man was seen swimming slVongly, as
though trying to save himself. There
was a commotion in the water all
about him, and then those on deck
witnessed a horrifying spectacle. The
swimmer ‘.r.vyas seized by sharks,
dragged down and was seen no more.”
Shipmasters, as a rule, abstain
from intoxicants sufficiently to insure
the safety of life and property so that
it is not endangered through inebri¬
ety. There are, nevertheless, start¬
ling instances where sea captains have
been unable to resist the craving for
drink until there was reformation
through the stimulus of despair. The
writer was acquainted with a man
who had a master’s certificate, but
who, because of his drinking habits,
was unable to get command of a
vessel. His father, a shipowner, at
his death left him a square-rigged
sailing ship.
The newly made captain and owner
was drunk when he left port with his
ship. He remained drunk for two
weeks, gave a wrong course to his
first mate, and the vessel was
wrecked in shoal water. The crew
clung to the top rigging, and lashed
themselves there. At the expiration
of nine days a vessel sighted them,
but all had died of thirst and hunger
with the exception of the captain,
whose remarkable vitality had pre¬
served a spark of life.
The captain recovered, and later
obtained command of another ship •
When be left port he was intoxicated
again. The vessel was wrecked, and
he was rescued. He never drank
again, but his master’s certificate was
canceled, and be served as mate in
humble vessels until his death two
years ago.
Some years ago a two-term convict
found himself on trial for a third
felony. He declared that he had no
recollection of any of his crimes and
asserted that all were committed
while under the influence of liquor.
He was sentenced to State prison,
and upon going there stated that
while in prison he intended to find a
way to cure not only himself of the
whisky habit, but all who would
listen to him.
He was put to work in the kitchen
and in some way he obtained a
sia cup. These cups are turned from
the trunk of the quassia treet, which
is extremely bitter. Quassia is a
well-recognized medicinal agent with
tonic properties. The convict discov¬
ered that water embittered by contact
with the quassia cup diminished his
taste for liquor, and in time he over¬
came it altogether.
Once out of prison, this man de¬
voted a great deal of time to advocat¬
ing the "quassia cure” for the liquor
habit, and, so far as is known, he
had no relapse.
Frequently the change to an unex¬
pected and unwelcome occupation
provides the stimulus necessary to
bring out the indomitable will power
which rehabilitates a man who has
been in the grip of drink.
A Texan told of his own experience
in this connection, as follows:
“I was young, married and had
what I considered an easy job as
bookkeeper in a store in a small
town. I began to drink, and before
I knew it I was drinking altogether
too much. I found that my hands
were shaky in the morning, and I
had to take a ‘bracer’ before going
to work. Then I got to drinking in
the daytime, and neglected my work.
Finally, I lost my job. Then my
father took me aside and said:
“ ‘Young man, I have fifteen acres
of sandy soil out back there. You
know where it is; get out there and
sea if you can find your salvation.’
“I worked that piece of ground
one year, and besides its being ‘sandy
soil,’ it was a bad year for crops. I
worked it a second year with little
better success. The third year about
averaged up with the others. Then
I yesolved that I was no farmer, but
I made a solemn promise to myself
that if I could get a job in the city
again I would manage to get along
without liquor.
“I got the city job, and I have kept
my promise.”
Tale of a Sea Captain.
Seventeen years ago a sea captain,
whose home was in this city, said to
his wife:
“If I ever get drunk again I’ll blow
out my brains.”
He remained sober for fifteen
years. Two years ago the craving re¬
turned. He went to the nearest sa¬
loon, took three or four drinks of
whisky, and shot himself to death at
the table where he sat to drink.
Of all the sea stories tha-: have to
do with loss through drunkenness of
the commander of a ship, the most
tragic is one fresh in the minds of
all seafaring men, and which involved
the loss of more than a hundred lives.
The captain of a liner had made the
most desperate efforts, according to
his friends, to stop drinking. Finally,
it was believed that he had con
quered.
“In fact,” said the retired seafaring
man who related this account to the
writer, “he remained sober for ten
years. Then he lost a son or a daugh¬
ter, and began to drink again. He
left, an English port for the United
States, and he was not sober when he
He drank heavily the first
night from port, and gave a wrong
course to the quartermaster.
■ • “The Vessel struck that flight on
the Cornish coast, and a hundred>Mves
were lost, ft was officially reported
that , the captain perished, but it is
whispered to this day 'wherever
sailormen congregate that somewhere
in the world the unhappy captain
still lives.”-—i’rom the New York
Times.

Marriage a Detail of Art.
It was Roswell Field who wrote in
1904 in the Chicago Evening Post:
“Mrs. Leslie Carter has been favoring
the public with some sprightly re
marks concerning the stage and matri¬
mony, and has come to the conclusion
that marriage does not go well with
the artistic triumph, She believes
that to ‘be a really great actress a wo¬
man must experience 'all the joys and
sorrows of life,’ and she intimates that
the best way to get this exnerir-nce Is
through matrimony. In ether words,
we suppose, marriage is merely a par*
of the theatrical education, to be tak¬
en like everything else, in its turn.
We are very glad to have this subject
so clearly elucidated by Mrs. Carter,
who presumably speaks for the pro¬
fession, and who illuminates a ques¬
tion which has caused much comment.
