He spoke in part as follows: | The guestion of conservation, in all | its phases, is occupying the minds of | thoughtful men and women tliroughout | the civilized world. Every nation is! more or less interested in it. Our own | government at present is deeply inter | asted in the conservation of her anim: industries, her agricultural pursuits, her mineral resources, her forests, her | and her deep water te the casusl ebserver shhi but sent when administered as a remeds little use in the human economy. Teday the physician finds that alcohol Jowers the blood pressure. We also find that many diseases also lower the blood pressure, and in dis- ease when the pressure is below 100 on onr blood pressure instrument we consider the patient critical. So that in pneumonia and tvphoid fever where we once thought alcohol benefited, we krow now it assisted those dGiseases in killing our patients. The physician today does not use one-tenth as much alcohol in medicine as did his grandfather practitioner, and has but and by word~and practice the physi- clans are teaching the pub that 1t has Jittie use as & remedy. Alcohol | hers means all alcoholic beverages, as whiskey, brandy, wines and beers.

Frank Beauregard Was Then Pulled Out by William H. Dawiey at New Dock. Frank Beauregard, a resident of Talman street, had an exciting exper:. ence In the Thames river here on afiernoon and was hauled from the waters of the harbor in an exhausted condition by the time'y ar- of Willlam H. Dawley with rope and a ladder. Encumbered with all his ciothing and a pair of heavy felts on his feet, Beauregard swam the She- tucket river to the dock at Dawley's lumber yard, arriving at a point where it would have been impoesible for him to climb out without help, because of the height of the dock. Mr. Dawley who had seen him from the lumber office, had instantly thought of a lad- der and had found a rone, with, which he rushed to the spot. By mdans of both the man was pulled out of the water and gotten upon shore, taken to the heater room, warmed and rub- bed and dried off and furnished with an overcoat and old clothes by M- Dawley. In these he was able (o get home, and later returned to thank his rescuer.
