Facts vs.. Opinion.

Many opinions about alcoholic
liquors are disappearing as mere
superstitions, many of them hoary
with antiquity. In the early his
tory Of alcohol it was counted SO
great a blessing that it was called
ssaqua vitae''-water Of life. A
later opinion declares a nor ap-
propriate name would be "distilled
damnaiion."
Many Of the supposed virtues Of
spirituous liquors are now classed
with the mailing OF the horseshoe
over the door to keep away the
witches, but the superstition as to
the value Of liquors is by far the
most harmful. It has long beer

How He Began.

John Fisher was standing at the
bar in a saloon. He had an old
battered hat on his head, and had
a short black pipe in his mouth.
His shirt was dirty, his clothes
were ragged and his shoes were
worn out at the toes.
He had not always looked like
that. Once he was we'll dressed
and had a comfortable home.
AS he looked out of the saloon
door he saw two tidy, clean little
children coming for their fathers
beer. The saloon-keeper hlleo
their pail and as soon as they were
outside the door the little girl took
a drink, while her little brother
waited patiently for his turn tt

at them very sadly, and turning tc

The Milk of Old Age.

There is an ancient proverb that
swine is the milk of old age" and
that elderly people do well to add
liquors to their diet. Sir Henry
Thompson, one of the greatest
physicians of the century, at the
age of 50 proved by actual ex-
pertinent that this proverb is I'M
true.
The almost worldwide notion
that only by the use of wines and
liquors can there be the joyous ex-
hibition of friendship and brilliant
social gathering is soon to take its
lace among exploded supersti-
tions.
The popular use of wine and
beer and the so-called mildel
alcoholic liquors as a remedy fol
intemperance has been proved to
be a delusion.-The amethyst.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1910-01-06
Superstition

There is still Va widely held
notion that men doing hard mus
cular work, where they r ex-
posed ta changing temperatures,
are helped by drink, and that beer
adds to the vigor of the arm of the
laborer. 1t has been scientifcal-
ly demonstrated that all forms of
alcoholic liquor decrease muscular
ability. Eminent physicians de-
clare that the use of liquors by the
fainting and exhausted is an
ignorant superstition, and that
the glass Of wine OIL whiskey may
act as a poison and cause death.
Another superstition exploded
by recent research is as to the
value of alcoholic liquors as a
food. We are told that alcohol is
not "a nourishing article of diet,
but a poison. 1t is even claimed
that to get as much nutritive
value as there is in a glass oil
milk a man would have to drink
enough beer to make himseli
stupidity drunk. The use Of
liquors as aid to digestion is also
a delusion. The headache the
morning after the banquet where
liquors have been freely used
arises not only from the drink
but also because the alcohol haI
retarded digestion.

GREELEY ESTIM
THE DEAD AT IS

MlSSOULA, Mont, Aug. 24.-District
Forester w. B. Greeley, a University
of California graduate who is in charge
OF district No. 1, which includes the
reserves in Montana and Idaho, said
late tonight that the general situation
was much improved. Greeley is in
clined TO estimate that the total
casualties thus far will not exceed TX
The total fatalities in Montana have
reached IL, two names being added
tonight. They are E. Williams and
A. NJ. Barrett. They were lost in tbe
flames near Thompson
The work of reorganization was be-
gun today. In all of the affected coun-
try, with the exception of the Coeur
d 'Alene forest, where the flames are
still raging fiercly and where the work
of the forestry people is still confined
to relief work, forces of men are be-
ing gathered together. Camps are be-
ing re-esta blished and the men of the
service are preparing to begin anew
the fight against the flames broken off
SO suddenly by the hurricane Sunday.
Our reports from every side are
most encouraging, said Greeley. Our
first step everywhere has been to To-
cate every man-be he in the forest
service or not-and in most cases. the
district around Wallace and the Clear
water country in Idaho being the only
exceptions, this has already heen done.
Il have also issued Instructions to
all of our men to send one searching
party for every camper. prospector or
homesteader of whom they have any
record
"A telegram from Kalispell late to-
night brought word of light rainfall
I'm that vicinity. The rain that fell
here last night extended from the
Absareko forest near Livingston on
the east TO st. Regis on the west. and
checked the flames decisively. A light
fall was also reported further west and

when the Togo Kisen Kaisha
sewers its relations with the
Pacific Mail company and goes
into partnership with the
Gould line. This will give
the Western Pacific oversee
connections for freight and
passenger traffic that will be
as perfect as those of any
other transcontinental line
and perhaps a little better. as
the trans-Pacific service will
be contributed by the swiftest
ships on the Pacific.
1t was announced yesterday

after the first of the year until
next June will be contributed
by four fast liners. They will

screw liners Nippon Maru and
American Maru. A third tur-
bine liner. as yet unnamed. is
now nearing completion in

the Tenyo and Chiyo and will
be ready for service in June.
