ELIOT SAYS WEE DROP
OCCASIONALLY. is Q. K.

Cambridge, Mass. April es.-presl-
dent Emeritus Charles w. Eliot, OF
Harvard. In celebrating his seventy
seventh birthday recently, asserted
that he believed that moderation. reg
ularity of eating and sleeping and n
wee drop on occasions made one
grow old happily. Concerning stimu-
lants. Dr.. Eliot said:
Il am not one Of those who believe
that 1t is necessary to abstain wholly
from the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea /,
coffee and other stlmulants On the
contrary. ! feel that there are times
when a stlmulant used in moderation
is beneficial
What ! am opposed to is the habit
,ial use of stimulants, even In modera-
ton. The man who is accustomed to
take every day SO much as d single
glass of whiskeY is doing himself
more harm than he realizes.
"Recent psychological research as
conducted in this country and in Ger
many. has made it certain that the
effect of alcohol. when habitually used,
even in the smallest quantity, is to
diminish ones efficiency and render tho
body moro susceptible to tho inroads
of disease"
