Today Tacoma Remembers Her Dead Old Vets Parade in Autos

The old vets who smelled pow
der in the sixties are growing
fewer every year. But they are
still game, still enthusiastic for
the old flag and still ready to get
out and do honor to the graves of
their comrades who have gone on
into the unknown.
Decoration day in Tacoma this
year was different. from the past.
for more regard was paid to the
comfort of the old boys in blue.
Automobiles were furnished for
the first time for them 90 ride in
in the annual parade. Heretofore
they got out and marched as they
marched from Atlanta 30 the Sea
and as they marched up Lookout
mountain, but the boys OF the
iSpanish-America war concluded
the time had come to let the vet
Grams ride and automobiles were
collected for the weak.
The annual ceremonies were OF
1.-THE usual standard. Following
the parade there was the usual
speaking and the decoration OF
1.-THE graves by little girls in white
wearing the national colors.
Wagon loads of noses, pansiesv
and other flowers we're today
placed on the graves OF the men
who fought in the Civil war. And
lthe graves OF the "Johnnies" were
not missed either.
The animosities of half cen-
tury ago arc forgotten these days
and the graves Of the men who
wore the gray are being decorated

men who wore the blue are belne

HARD BLOW TO MRS. DOXEY

ST. LOUIS, May 30.-The de-
fense in the case of Mrs. Dora
Doxey, on trial for the murder OF
William ]. Erder, received Sc
we're blow today when the court
overruled the motion of Mrs. Dox-
ey's attorneys to strike out GER
tain parts of the evidence offered
by the prosecution. Witnesses
from Columbus, Neb., the Doxey's
home, testified that DR.. Doxey
purchased cacodylate of soda
which was sent Mrs. Doxey to give
Erder. The defense asked that
this be stricken out on the ground
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-05-30

that the purchase Of this poison
was not in itself relevant testi-
mony and that the inference as to
the way the poison was to be
used was entirely hearsay.
The court after celebrating
over the contention of the defense
ruled that the evidence was ad-
missible inasmuch as it bore on
the relations between DR.. Doxey
and his wife, and that these re-
lations had a direct bearing on
Mrs. Doxey's actions at the time
she was supposed to have MUIR
dered Erder.

Our brains are set in hunting
case. Nobody but spendthrift
or a fool (Which is the same thing)
can afford to do anything that will
injure his brain. His brain is the
man himself.
The railroads will not have a
man who drinks. The electric car
companies will not employ men
who drink. The manufacturers
will not have them. The one thing
a man cannot afford to do is to
daily with any form of alcohol.
Metchnikoff, the greatest living
Psychologists, has shown that the
greatest protector from disease
germs is fourd in phagocytes-
littlewhite cor puscles of the blood.
Alcohol kills these protectors, and
leaves the sick man defensele.ss

scourges = blood-poisoning, gan

propriase substitute for "Come, let
us take a drink"
The inebriate is simply the man
who loses his power of holding
together. Drunkenness
is the effort of the man to recover
his powers. TO be able to take
considerable amount of alcohol
without becoming intoxicated is an
evidence of weakness instead of
strength. A man may resist be-

number of times, but if the blows

his power t resi- stance is gone.

Alcohol Destroys Brain and Nerve
Power.
[From address by DIR. David Starr Jordan. Pres
ident OF Leland stanford University, April 2lst
The moderate drinker would moi
bother you and me very much il
he would stay a moderate drinker
but he is likely to become a drunk
ard. The injury to the drinker is
demonstrated by scientific investi-
cation. As a matter of fact. as
far as physicians are able to find
out, there is no form of moderate
drinking that is not harmful; and
the injury is just about in proper
ton to the amount of alcohol TAX
en-.
What does alcohol do to the
drinker? 1t creates a THIRST for
alcohol. The good feeling it in
duces is spurious, and the reaction
from the excitement reduces the
normal nerve force. Alcohol is
not stimulant. 1t is a depressor.
1t takes away from the resources
which make character. The man
under the influence of liquor is
not stimulated; he is merely de-
prived of the power of self-con-
trol--just not held together. A
chicken is not stimulated when its
head is cut off; it has simply lost
Its power OF holding together; and
1t behaves much like a drunken
man.
Alcohol serves no useful pur-
pose. 1t has no medicinal yalue.
1t is dangerous element. in that
1t teaches the nerves to lie. 1t
deranges the nerves.
The human brain is the most
wonderful piece of mechanism in
the universe. This human mind
has the power of knowing truth.
and OF knowing that it knows. !
What Injuries the brain Injuries the
mind. The most valuable thing
man can do is to keep his brain |
sound. The effect of alcohol is
always to take something of his
mind. his brain, his manhood.
The conduct of life is the one

FEDERAL AID TO
SETTLE STEEL STRIKE
Department Of Commerce ant
Labor to Investigate.

Washington. March 16.-Efforts "a
settle the Bethlehem Steel company'l
strike are to be made BY officials Of
the government An Official Of the de
partment Of commerce and labor will
be sent to South Bethlehem Pa, and
will go over the situation carefully.
Notice to this effect was sent TO Presi-
dent Schwab. OF the steel company.
The request for government inter
vention came from both the company
and the striking employees. Of which
several thousand have been out for
more than a month.
Investigation Of the strike was
prompted partly by the fact that the
government has large steel contracts
with the Bethlehem company. and it
has been claimed that the strike has
resulted in great delay in government
work
Recently two resolutions we're intro
duced in the house on the subject by
Representative Rainey (Dem). OF Hi
nols, one calling for an investigation
OF the strike and the other calling
upon the secretary Of the navy to
report what contracts with the steel
company were uncompleted and to
what extent delay had been encoun-
tered.
The principal purpose OF the inves-
tigation ordered IS to bring the com
pany and the strikers together in an
arbitration of their difficulties.

that It would cost $4,000 to put out
the fire and the city was within $4,000
OF its legal Indebtedness. The lower

supreme court sustained il also. There
is now nothing left for the worried
citizens to do but to appeal 10 Gov
