The Medical Journals do not Support
Professor A,water.

Professor Atvaters alcohol expert
ments reported last June have turned
the thought OF medical circles To the
scientific side OF the alcohol question
as never before. Since January ! /,
1900. these experiments and conclu-
sions have been widely discussed by
the standard medical journals Of the
county.
The journal Of the American
Medical Association, the organ OF
the national society OF allopathlc
physicians, contains an exhaustive
discussion by Professors Woodbury.
and Egbert OF the Medico Chiruglcal
College Of Philadelphia, on the At
water experiments. This isdlscGs-i)li
shows that the tables of these expert
ments giving the gain and loss OF the
body do not prove that alcohol acts
as food; and that in short, there IS
nothing whatever in these experi
ments to show those scientists wrong
who declare alcohol to be poison
and not food.
Winfield S. Hall, Professor OF
Physiology in University Medical
School in Chicago, shows the falla-
CIV of calling substance "to linn
ited extent a food" or sometimes
a iood,r on the ground that it has
one.characteristic Of food, by the
10 lowing sylloeism: Foods are
loxidized in the body; alcohol i
.loxidized in the body; therefore al
lcohol i a food. We might IL
we'll say: Horses breathe oxygen
the yeast plant hreathes oxygen
Therefore the yeast plant i horse.

Bryan and Silver.

There has been an interesting ru-
NOR to the effect that Senator Jones,
|of Arkansas, chairman Of the Dem
|ocratic national committee, was GO
ing to make an effort to induce Mr..
Bryan to abandon the 16 to one the
|ory, or at least to consent to the
|subordination of the silver question
in the Kansas City platform. When
the Senator was asked about this
matter he said
"There is absolutely no truth in
the report that | will endeavor to
persuade Mr.. Bryan to consent to
the dropping Of the l6 to | plank in
the platform this year. There will
be no abandonment of any issue OF
the Chicago platform. :"
The closer we get to the Kansas
City convention the more clear does
it become that it is practically inn
possible to get rid Of silver without
getting rid Of Bryan at the same
time. If the sound money men in
the convention were strong enough
to beat silver-and they would have
to be in the majority to DO that
they would not be likely to take up
Bryan, since one-third of the con
vention would be able to preven,
his nomination. Therefore, a de
feat for the silver plank would be
defeat for Bryan, and there woulc
be no need to ask for any concess
ions from him.
But even if it were sought to com
promise by giving him the nomina
ton on platform from which silver
had been eliminated with his con
sent, the difficulty would be quite
as great. Mr.. Bryan stands for sill
yer as few public men have stoot
for anything. His relation to ths
fl16 to doctrine is the same as tha
Sustained to protection by Presiden
Nc Kinley. The chief reason hi
friends and admirers want him nom
mated is because he is favorable
to free silver coinage at the 16 to
ratio. No doubt they have grea
admiration and affection for him
s but it is for him as the representative
) of great cause. If he should b
, faithless to it they would turl
: against him with all the bitterness
, OF a disappointed fanaticism. Wit
silver out, there would be no reaso
! for nominating or electing him whic
would not apply to many othe
J Democrats. On top of it all is tn
, fact that Mr.. Bryan does not wan
to abandon silver. We think h
/ must be given credit for honesty il
his political views. He has tough
, the battle for silver for years, an
/; he is not likely to abandon it whe
! he thinks he sees a chance Of wiz
ming a victory. We think he
mistaken in his theories and in hi
. opinion Of the attitude Of tn
. American people to them. But h
is in earnest, and being in earnest
i we very much doubt whether b
would trifle with them. So il it

A Good Game on Saturday.

The Danville. Milton football game
that was scheduled to occur ut Milton
on Saturday afternoon of this week, will
be PLAYED in this city owing to the fact
that the grounds at Milton have been
engaged by another eleven for this date.
Football admirers in this city will
have chance to see the High school
boys play. The fact that the game will
be played here, ought to bring out a
good sized crowd to root for the local
aggregation and cheer them on to vic
tory.
The boys are practicing every evening
-and with the experience gained at the
Catawissa game they ought to win.
The game will occur at DeWitt's park +,

MRS, GOULD ASKS

New York, Oct, 11.-Mrs. Howard

posed of men. What do they know of

mel why would it not be possible to
have cases affecting women tried by

Mrs Gould, who is being sued by her
former dressmakers, Mary F. Smith and
Margaret Dillon, for $l115, declares EN-
phatically that much Of the work
done for her was defective and could
not be worn, and that considerable ma
terial was ruined.

Mr. Hummel yesterday made applica-
ton to have the case sent to referee,
saying that much expert testimony OF
dressmakers would have to be taken,
which would naturally be much involv-
ed. and of a character which the Ordi-
nary man would not understand. Coun-
sci for the dressmakers make vigorous
objection. Judge Hascoll reserved de-
cision.

Many parents are opposed to the vac
cination of their children on the ground
that they do not believe in the practice
and consequently will not have it done
