Does tho Mind Preserve Health?

while mental and bodily health may
be in measure independent of each
other and while either may react
strongly on the other" writes James
Putnam, M. D., in the current number
of Psychotherapy, yet the responsible
ity of the mind for the health of the
body is probably greater than is COM
monty assumed. at least among natur-
alists and physicians. I say this be-
cause believe the opinion to be deep
ly rooted that mind is literally and in
every sense the outcome of the evolu-
ton of the body and to be considered
as the offspring of which the body is
parent. My own belief is, on the con-
trary, that if by mind we understand,
as we should, one form of the living
principle of which the humblest sorts
of vital energy are other forms, we
ought to say that the mind is the par
emit of the body. In other words, the
function of an organ is. logically re-
sponsible for its structure. and there

WHAT SHOULD THE DRUGGIST po7

Boyson. the Cedar Rapids druggist
was right. He stood for the best in his
profession and his trade when he in
sisted before the last legislature that
the drug store and the whisky traffic
should be divorced by law. Boyson's
stand is the proper one for the class OF
men. generally of high personal char
acter, citizenship and business stand
ing who run legitimate drug business
first and who have been selling whisky
because the law permits it and because
their competitors sell It,
These are good men, most of them
They represent as class very diff
ferent strata of mankind from the
average saloonist. In plain candor and
without desire to assail any class per-
sonally the worst of the druggists is
personally about in the same class as
of men who are furnishing whisky
upon application feel deeply the stigma
attached to their profession by the
common belief and expression that the
drug store is worse than the saloon
Isn't it about time that splendid
business. a learned profession, and q
body of intelligent moral citizens broke
away from the whisky selling business
Isn't it about time the profession o
\ of %1,se ,o1o
| thing and took its rank where it be
longs among the professions? Th'
physician who took advantage of hi:
profession privilege to supply liquor L:
a beverage would be an outcast among
his own contemporaries. No othel
business panders to this traffic excep
the saloon, the bootlegger and th'
drug store Isn't it time for the druf
store to break away?
There is a little money and mucf
trouble in it for the decent druggist
the man who insists on running a dru;
store instead of dram shop. 1t doesn
pay him. 1t puts his profession unde
contempt. 1t puts his store unde
surveillance. It often makes him blusl
for himself 1t is part of his trade tina
he doesn't talk about at home with hi
wife. 1t fills the store with undesir
ables. 1t affords the man he despise

work he has done in the school at
Forest City and is the type of man to
place at the head of a strong school
which it is desired to strengthen. He
is capable, discreet and with exceptional
courage His accession to the presi-

What's wrong with the other "busi-
hess honorable as any other line of
merchandising? Nobody finds fault
to try to get decent living out of
any other business. Why should he be
denied the right to engage in this sa-
loon "business?" The law doesn't find 1t
necessary to prevent the hardware
man putting lewd and Indecent pic
lures on his walls; it doesn't find it
necessary to say that mo improper
females" shall be permitted upon the
premises" Of the grocery store? The
fact is that it Is the business" which
ought to be prevented. It's bad busi-
ness. The decent man who starts in it
degenerates. No man ever saw a sa-
loonist grow into better man or a
better citizen. He goes the other way.
Always.
The fact is that the brewers and dis
tillers do not favor the laws they say
they do. They're scared to death and
fear that they are to be abolished.
They never have favored such laws.
They wouldn't profess to favor them
now if they were not in the agony of
fear for the future. Note this: only in
states where the saloon is given the
right to exist do the liquor interests
favor obedience to law. They are fight
ing the prohibitory laws openly and by
stealth in every state where such laws
exist. The saloon and the liquor inter-
est is law abiding only as it may make
the law to it's own purpose.
What's the use Of fourfushing about
law and order and Legitimate BUSH
ness" by the saloon? 1t fools only
