PRESIDENT ELIOT
 AGAINST LIQUOR

Boston. Mass. October 29.-After de- claring that he had been moderate user of alcoholic beverages in the form of wine and beer during most of his life President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard university declared that his earlier ideas had undergone a radical change, in a notable address tonight before the Massachusetts No License league. of which he is the honorary president.
 "I have been all my life what Is sometimes called a moderate thinker declared he. That is to say, I have used beer and wine on occasions but not habitually and I have never ex- perienced any i'll effects whatever from either beer or wine, and I recognize the truth of the Bible saying about wine, that It maketh glad the heart of man Whether it be expedient or not that the heart of man should be made glad in that way should bs doubted.
 Continuing President Eliot de- clared that recent researches in physi- ology and medicine tended strongly to show that even the moderate drinking of alcohol was inexpedient.
