The story Of the fire in the dark

Miss Leta BricIZen, the l7-year-old

bearing the sacred vestments and the
silver chalices from the altar. And
these were the only relics saved from

The good people OF Washington were
aroused by the flames and they came
hurrying to the campus many OF them
bearing wraps and clothing caught up

was improved afterward and we were
happy and comfortable again.

Little Talks
on Advertising.
ADVERTISING VS.. SHOPPING

"One great reason for the prom
inence in advertising in modern
trade is that it saves no end of time
to the public. Shopping is always
a synonym for WEAKNESS. A wo-
man who starts out to buy a GER
tain article without prearrange-
ment of any kind may be entering
on a wearisome round of store Wis
iting, before she finds what she
wants at the right price. Usually
nowadays she looks over the store
news before setting out to make a
purchase of any Importance. If
given offering impresses her favor
ably, she goes direct to the store
that makes it. AS advertising in
black and white has to be even
more truthful than the verbal state
ments of salesman, she usually
finds that the advertised goods cor
respond with the announcement.
Her purchase is completed without
bother or tramping around from
store to store. Time is saved and
WEAKNESS avoided. No wonder that
advertising grows from year to
year, since it so fits the needs and
convenience of the public. "-Ex-
change.
The above applies equally we'll to
shopping by mail Nothing can
equal the convenience and comfort
of sitting in your own home, and
shopping by mail, provided, that
you are buying from responsible
firms. The firms that advertise in
the American Issue are reliable.
They are worthy of your conf
dence and patronage.

Wise Men of the East

for the Study of Alcohol and other
Narcotics held it's forty-second annual
meeting in this city, Dec. 10 and II.
The Society is composed of physi-
clans and others interested in scien-
tihc Investigations and was organized
in 1870. It's purpose is to study the
effect of alcohol and the diseases
which follow its use, from a purely
scientific standpoint.
1t was the first medical association
in the world to take up this line of
investigation. While it is not proper
ly speaking, temperance organiza-
ton, yet the cumulative results of it's
researches into the effects of alcohol
on the human system and on offspring,
are dealing the liquor traffic sledge-
hammer blows and constitute a most
sweeping and damning indictment of
alcohol
The program covered wide range
of up-to-date, vital topics. It's per-
sonnet included prominent investiga-
tors, specialists in the treatment of
drug addictions, presidents of medical
colleges, and universities, editors of
scientific temperance journals, profess
sors in medical schools and colleges,
alienists, members of United States
Congress, superintendent of asylums
and sanatoria, psycholists, United
States army surgeons, specialists in
brain and nerve diseases, phsysiolog-
lists, clinicians, etc, etc.
The congress conducted its business
in a matter-of-fact way. Throughout
its four sessions the environment was
that of the lecture room and labora
tory. The old-time moralizing ard
emotional appeals were entirely want
ing. They studied drug habits as
other groups of physicians and inves-
tigators study tuberculosis or cancer.
The gathering was practically unani-
nous in its opinion on the questions
under discussion-a remarkable fact
when one considers the widely diver
gent standpoints of writer's and the
speakers The fact is there are few
physicians who are not solidly against
alcohol Practically the only excep-
tons to this is the physician who is
himself a victim of alcohol. This
unanimity is not so surprising when
one remembers that the physician as
no other, is brought face to face with
the widespread ruin wrought by this
narcotic.
This society is rendering notable
service in presenting the public with
trustworthy facts about narcotics. A
report of the proceedings of this con-
gress will be published presently and
we hope to lay some of the more i'm
portant papers presented before our
readers.
