Observation-Disclosures A LOSS OF
-FOUR TO FORMER AND GAIN OF
SIX FOR LATTER.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The tempo
rary roll call of the house of represen-
tatives for the Sixty congress has
been completed and published. 1t pre-
sents a complete list of members Of
the new house as shown by unofficial
returns and gives the politics of all Of
them. According to this publication,
the next house will consist o4,J. . re-
publicans and IL democrats, -. otal
of 391, as against a total of %'c in
the house during the last sessioy X. {
whom 223 were republicans and 70
democrats. The result is net lossE<c
four from the republican side and =
net gain Of six on the democratic sides
the discrepancy being due to present
vacancies. All told, the democrats
gained III districts and the republic
cans twelve.
Heavy Loss in Indiana.
The most marked advance made by
the democrats was in Indiana. OF the
entire eleven members constituting the
Indiana delegation, only two will be
republican in the next congress, where
as in the sixtieth congress there are
eight republicans from that state. Col
orado will not send so many demo-
Gratis as Indiana, owing to her smaller
population, but that state recorded
even greater revolution in that,
whereas all three members of the pres
ent delegation are now republican In
the next house all will be democrats.
Mr.. Bryan's own state of Nebraska
added two to the democratic column
in the house, making an equal division
OF the two parties of the six members
from that state.
OF the other democratic gains Ohio
recorded three, Illinois one, and Ken
tucky one. The most striking accre-
tions Of the republicans were made in
North Carolina, where three members
were taken from the democratic coll
umn, and Oklahoma. where there was
o gain of two. Missouri and Pennsyl-
vania switched two from the demo-
cratic to the republican side ard New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Wisconsin
each supplied one to the republican
additions.

The states which will be solidly

Canada's First Temperance Society

Mrs Mary E. Corning of Beaver
River, Nova Scotia, sends to The Ma
fional Pr0hbitionfSt newspaper clip
ping regarding the founding of the first
temperance society in Canada. Mrs.
Corning seems to have a double inter
est in the history, since, as she tells us,
she is grand daughter of Jonathan
Raymond. The clipping reads:
'The first organized temperance society in
British North America was promoted at Beaver
River, N s., on April rs, 1928, by the late
Josiah Porter. In the old school house at
Beaver River Corner he and seven others drew
up a pledge to abstain from all intoxicating
liquors, and there and then signed it.
Time passed on and the pledge grew to be
society which has actually been kept up
until the present day. In 1sso-s1 new, hall
was erected on the very spot where the pledge
was signed, and dedicated to temperance work
as a memorial.

late Mr.. Raymond, another of the noble band,
he tells of the wonderful growth of the tenn

selves to be able to take certain quantities of
alcohol and even at times partake of heavier
drinking bout without losing control of them
selves l do not hesitate to declare such
demnation, for everybody knows that the un-
enviable ability to indulge in large quantities
of alcoholic liquors without getting drunk is
only possessed by those who continually use
such liquors to excess"
Prof. E. Kraepelin, M. D., Director
of the State Clinical Institute at
Munich, says:
How can Cluss say, that the use of beer
harmless popular beverage will more than
all sumptuary legislation aid in combating the
ravages of the whisky plague, when it is well
known that in the beer countries thousands
and thousands of people become afflicted with
chronic alcoholism, and that the beer habit in
thing stronger. - Prof. Cluss has pros
tituted his position as instructor in state
institution to very base uses when he publishes
treatise on such vital subject, in which he
miseads the public by doctrine that is directly
at variance with the results of the best scien-
tfc research. What. Prof. Cluss says, is
true. His book has nothing in common zoitb
scientific research and loOe of truth. Whose
interests the author has in mind may be

The reader can now form an idea of
what Prof Cluss's lectures will be like.
The introduction of this man of letters
to the American people is, however, not
yet quite complete. Cluss is not only
a professor and an author, but also q
member of the ~brezviug firm of -AcGl hiss
& Co., whose plant, located at Hebron
on the Neckar, is valued at 100000
marks and brings six per cent dividends
annually. Bearing this in mind, we can
the more readily understand how Prof.
Cluss has a material interest" in his
subject, as he comedies at one place in
his book, and perhaps the public will
not receive the lecturer quite so
graciously as the German papers say he
was received by the President at the
White House. So

the state in accordance with their half baked

that a certain Prof Adolf Cluss has come
to America, ostensibly under the auspices
of the Austrian department of educa-
ton, agriculture and commerce, for an
eight months stay in this country, Can
ada, Mexico and Cuba to make thor
ough study of American brewing, dis
tilling and refining industries So far
so good. But now it transpires that the
American brewers are arranging series
of lectures in number of cities in
which this man of science" is to de-
fend the use of alcoholic beverages, es-
pecially of wine and beer, from scien-
tihc standpoint. The German press of
New York has drawn attention to this
Learned European, whose written and
! spoken word it would be we'll to heed
and make the most of at this time OF the
increasing spread of Prohibition Senti-
ment" l hope Our brewery friends
will not take it amiss if I forestall them
by introducing Prof. Cluss to the
American people in his true character,
as he is known in European scientific
and industrial circles.
One of the reasons that render Prof.
| Cluss a valuable parsonage in the eyes
of the brewery capitalists is the fact
| that he has written a German book en-
titled ode Alkoholfrage,' in which he
contends that beer and wine are of
great Importance as articles of food and
condiments. In this respect this author
belongs to the same category of German
scientists with the obscure DR.. Starke
of Berlin, who recently also wrote
book with similar tendency, which is in
fiat contradiction to the otherwise al
most unanimous verdict of German
| science, represented by such well-known
men as Liebig, Won Pettenkofer, Hufe
land Bode, Bung, Hoppe, Kraepelin,
Kassowitz, Forel, Moebius, Flick, Del
brueck, ETC., who have shown that the
use of alcoholic beverages is a sense
less and injurious habit, since alcohol
is nothing but poison to the human
system. Not single European medical
!, journal has, as far as kno7Un, brought
favorable notice of Prof. Cluss's book,
while critiques which condemn it with
out stint are numerous. [ would refer
especially to the excellent reviews which
appeared in the Medisinische Wochen-
StHHt VI NC Oll ANPlSIiOSl ~, anu
in the Medismische Fachbresse of
Munich on February 5. Let us briefly
look at few representative opinions
on Cluss's book by eminent German
authorities
Prof Max Gruber. Director of the
| HYGIENE Institute and Member of the
Board of Health in Munich, says:
Beware of false prophets, who come to you
in sleeps clothing. when inwardly they are
ravening wolves! With regard to Prof. Cluss's
augmentation l must say, that matter what
standpoint may occupy toward the ques-
| ton of total abstinence. honest mind will
deny, that the consumption Of alcohol by our
people is quite immoderate Is it then, under
| the circumstances, justifable to write a book
like the one of Prof: Cluss's. which aims to
harmfulness of our popular drink habit and
sets forth the virtues of wine and beer in
glowing colors? My answer to this question
shall be plain and unmstakable. In my opin-
ion, the publication of smch book is an
objectionable crime"
