Economic questions are to form the
subjects for discussion before the Con-
temporary Club for the season of 1908
1909, and at what was considered the
organizations most brilliant opening
meeting last night in the Bellevue
Stratford The Temperance Problem"
was discussed by Prof. Hugo Muenster-
berg, of Harvard University He view
ed the question largely from the psy-
Geological standpoint, and was replied
to by Professor Simon N. Patton, of
the University of Pennsylvania, from
an economic viewpoint and by the Rev.
Samuel j. Barrows, president of the
International Prison Commission, of
New York, who argued from the basis
of penologist.
In the large audience in the Glover
Room were savants, men prominent in
medical circles, leaders in literary and
scientific research in this city, college
Instructors and many women well
known in social circles and civic move
ments.
PROFESSOR LEWIS PRESIDES.
Francis A. Lewis, president of the
club, whose guests Prof Muenster-
berg and Doctor Barrows were, pre-
sided. He briefly outlined the program
of the club and the Harvard scientist
was then introduced. He spoke half
an hour and was followed by Professor
Patten and Doctor Barrows. He was
then given 10 minutes to reply to the
criticisms made upon his proposition
for the amelioration of the evils of
intemperance.
In his reply Professor Muensterberg
declared that his opponents had failed
to answer ms arguments, attacking, he
contended what he had previously
written, and not what he had said in
his address. This use of the lance
brought out quick response from the
audience.
To the criticism that he had voted
for no license in the town of Cam
bridge, he replied that he was against
the American form of saloon, and that
his vote was for the protection of the
freshmen who came to Harvard; thai
the older students were able to take
care of themselves.
1t was evident throughout the meet
ing that the sympathies of the audience
were about evenly divided on the loca
option question, and the applause wa
impartial and at times hearty,
INCONSISTENCIES ADDRESS.
At the outset of the discussion Pro
fessor Muensterberg freely admitted
amid tokens OF approval from the au
dienoe that he fully agreed that alec
holic intemperanoe was one OF tn

The Liquor Problem

+ Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, in
Z his discussion with the Rev. DR..
= Samuel ]. Barrows on the liquor
+ problem, admitted that "the
+ American saloon is most afro
+ cious insult to decent social
+ life," and then declared:
+ "That under the present con-
+ ditions of American life the only
+ wise way of reform is by work
+ ing toward temperance and not
+ toward prohibition.
+ "That prohibition is superb
= cial, forms no remedy for the
+ evils of drink and will prove to
+ be a passing emotion.
= THAT it is impossible to legis-
+ late against a psychological de-
= sire that belongs to a majority
= of men.
+ THAT there exists no scienti-
+ fically safe fact which demon
+ strates that a moderate use of
+ alcohol is harmful
+ THAT the masses will find a
+ substitute for liquor that will be
+ far worse than the present evils.
+ THAT prohibition is legislat-
+ ing as if the nation were COM
+ posed of children"
+ Replying to Professor Muen-
+ sterberg, Doctor Barrows con-
+ tended:
+ THAT the liquor problem is
+ larger than one of individual
+ psychology; that is, what is the
+ effect of alcohol upon men in
I. their relations to each other.
+ That it is an established fact
+ that the curves of criminality
J. rise or fall with the increase or
+ decrease in the consumption of
+ alcohol.
+ THAT the application of To-
+ cal option as a remedy shows
+ that the decrease of the area of
J. temptation to the use of alco-
!. holic drinks decreases crime and
+ disorder.
+ THAT the necessity of alb
+ staining from alcoholic drinks
+ in winning in tests of physical
+ endurance is shown by the uni
+ form practice of athletes, whose
+ strength comes from food, not
+ from drink.
+ THAT it could not be shown
+ that the great literary and other
+ mental productions of men were
+ the result of mugs of beer or
+ other alcoholic stimulants.
+ THAT not the United States
+ alone, but all civilized nations,
+ are moving toward the suppress
+ sion of the use of alcoholic
+ drinks"

Let us tell you the facts and see.
First, our wheat is steam cooked for six
hours. Think of that-for six hours!
Then we cure it, Then flake each berry so
thin that the full heat of our ovens goes
through. Then we toast the flakes 80 minutes
in heat of 400 degrees.
Think of that-30 minutes at 400degrees.
All that is essential No cheaper method
can make the starch all digestible.
Starch, to be digestible, must be made
soluble. The particles must be separated so
the digestive juices can get to them.
The shorter the process, the less starch will

No Decision Reached

Little Rock, February 28.- Hon. Lewis Rhoton and Hon. Guy Fula returned from Washington City Thursday, where they have been to argue the Hammond Packing Case before the United States Supreme Court. It is pro bable that a decision will not be reached in this case for several weeks, probably five or six. Mir. Fulk stated last night that the court sits four hours each day, hearing arguments, and that some time will of necessity elapse after the argument before the decision can be written and delivered.
