ALCOHOL AND BRAIN POWER.
One Cannot Do Best Work Under Mar
cotic Influence.

The students of the Total Abstin-
ence union in Sweden recently made
special inquiry from well known art
lists and literary men for their views
concerning the influence of alcohol for
the inspiration of ideas The answers
were decisive and to the point Au.
guste Rodin, the great sculptor. re-
piled: Those who depend on the use
of alcohol to give them inspirations
or suggestions are doomed to see
themselves and their work soon for
gotten" Bjornstjerne Biornson re-
marked: When l am engaged in lit
erary work l never use alcoholic Iq-
uors, they would only hinder me. The
ideas or fancies produced by alcoholic
inspiration are not healthy or proba-
Bile, and are useless for my works"
Gustav TTenssen says: Even a thin
bleful OF spirits weakens all my best
faculties" The Swedish painter,
George Van Rosen, concludes by say
ing; Very far from believing that the
use of alcohol helps to produce artis-
tic ideas or conceptions, l am Of the
contrary opinion, and believe they will
only be hysterical and monstrous, and
in most cases they will lead to a weak
ening and finally to a break up of all
inspiring efforts"
