Baltimoreans are alarmed over the recent

A statement to the effect that total alb

than any class except immoderate drinkers
has been given wide publicity, as it was at
tributed to a reputable British scientific So
ciety. Some one who has taken the trouble

the total abstainers all who die In infancy.
