Liquor dealers in Nebraska took it
into their heads that they would sell
more beer by having the beer bottles
decorated with the national colors, and
they did it. Some Nebraska patriots
took the matter into court, and, finally,
after a strenuous battle, it was decid-
ed in the supreme court of the state
that the liquor interests had no case,
and the use of the Stars and Stripes
for advertising purposes was illegal.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court of the United States, and the
ruling of the Nebraska courts was sus-

AGAINST KING ALCOHOL.
How Physicians Are Acting as Tenn
perance Reformers.

The North Carolina state board Of
medical examiners has recently decid-
ed to withdraw the license TO practice
medicine in that state Of any physi-
clan whose addiction to alcohol or
drugs has untitled him to properly
practice The circuit court of Nebras-
ka also, has lately sustained the state
board of health in a like measure in
its power to delicense physicians fail
ing to properly perform their duty
from this cause.
DR.. I. d. Crothers, superintendent
Of the Walnut Lodge hospital, Hart
ford. Conn, notes the above facts in
his journal of Inebriaty, and goes
on to say:
Every physician should be a TEN
perance reformer in the broad sense,
and a teacher and leader in the study
Of these problems in every commun-
ity. mebriety from alcohol and the
sale of spirits as a beverage, is a sani-
tary problem Of enormous proper
lions. which the medical man of all
others is trained to study
The medical man who would be in
different to diphtheria, yellow fever or
any other contagious disease, and as
sumo an attitude of Indifference to
efforts to prevent these diseases,
would merit the seyerest condemna-
ton There is no disease of evil
whose entailment Of physical suffer
ing and mortality is so great, and so
intimately related to the home of
every community, as the alcohol
problem. There is no physical con
dition so influential in the growth
and life of civilization which a med
ical man is so well trained to under
stand and to prevent.
The medical man Of all others,
should be a total abstainer, and a
temperance man in the broadcast
meaning of this term, one whose per
sonal life and conduct approXimates
and sustains his work and teaching.
OF all men, physicians should be the
leaders in temperance work, to UNI
derstand the evils which follow from
alcohol, and point out their destruc-
tive influence, and the means of pre-
vention and cure"
Dr.. CrOthers further supplements
his own views on the subject by SINH
lar statements Of eminent European
specialists, and in conclusion, eX-
presses confidence that The final solu-
ton Of the alcoholic problem will be
achieved when the profession take
it up as a purely medical subject

Midas Criterion. a wholesale liquor

dealers and jobbers throughout the

believe, the apprehension regarding
