A committee of 14 British experts and scientists has reported, after eighteen months of careful investigation, that there is no such thing as hereditary drunkenness and that love of intoxicating liquors is in no case transmitted from parent to child. This does not lessen the reasons for temperance, but it does away with the nonseientifie argument. baves Two From Death. “Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis,” writes Mrs. W.

Edward Huss, a well known business mail of Salisbury, Mo., writes: “I wish to say for the benefit of others that I was a sufferer from lumbago and kidney trouble, and all the remedies I took gave me no relief.

He had the money, bill and silver, in a shot sack, preparing to take it to the bank, when a customer entered the store and Linn dropped the sack of money into a waste paper basket and went to wait upon the customer. Meanwhile Ken Hillworth, the clerk, took the basket to the back yard and emptied the contents into a fire. Linn discovered the act, rushed out, but too late to save more than the few silver pieces and fragments of bills. His hand was seriously burned in the act.
