By COL. L. MERVIN MAUS, Medical
Corps, United States Army)
During the Swedish alcoholic In.
vestigations among soldiers number
of picked non-commissioned officers
and men were selected for rifle prac.
tice. The tests covered a number of
days, part of which time the men
were tried out with small quantities
of alcohol, about 11s ounces OF
brandy. The results were invariably
the same. When alcohol was taken
during quick fire, the hits were 80
per cent less, although the men
imagined they were firing quicker.
When slow aiming was allowed the
difference was so per cent in favor of
abstaining days. During the march.
ing tests some Of the men were al
lowed alcohol, while others we're de-
prived of it's USE The drinking men
were found far inferior in marching
and enduring qualities, besides all Of
the sunstrokes and heat eXhaustions
occurred among the drinking class.
AS a result of these experiments the
Austrian soldier Is not allowed to
carry brandy on his person, as was
previously the case.

Our Greatest Foe,

d.. Howard A. Kelley Of Johns Hop
kins hospital, Baltimore, characterizes
the liquor traffic as follows:
Had alcohol never been discovered,
and were it then in my power to por'
tray the effects Of such a discovery,
all men, without exception, would de.
clare 1t impossible to conceive of any
more diabolical plan for the deprada'
tion and destruction of the human
race. Our greatest foes are the man
ufacturers and the distributors of
alcohol. The story of injuries done
by drink is 80 written In the sad life
history Of many Of our greatest men !;
is 80 evident throughout our land In
squalor, poverty, misery and crime,
and replete in prisons, warehouses
and asylums, as well as In domestic
infelicity, that it is inconceivable that
any intelligent, rational man can deny
the necessity for strong, united action
to rid the land Of both manufacturer
an distributor"

very thing that the pigs did not get
when fed upon corn alone.
Corn is deficient in protein and has
an abundance of starch and sugar.
Neither alfalfa nor corn when fed
alone will give the best results, but a
combination Of the two make a per-
fectly balanced ration.
A balanced ration is a combination
of feeds containing elements necessary
for the proper physical development of
the animal. Protein, the most essen
tial element in animal feed, builds the
frame of the body while corn is essen
TALLY valuable for the production OF
fat.
The bones of the ''corn-alfalfa" lot Of
pigs were double the size of the lot
fed on corn alone and stood breaking
strain of 1870 pounds as against $40
pounds for the lot fed on a single IA
tion of corn.

Liquor DeterIorates.

! have no sympathy with the state
ment, so often made, that the manu-
facture and sale of liquor has con-
tributed to the industrial development
of the nation. On the contrary, be-
lieve that liquor has contributed
more to the moral, Intellectual and
material deterioration of the people
and has brought more misery to de-
fenseless women and children than
has any other agency in the history
of mankind.-John Mitchell.

OPIUM RING BEING

dent that the tentacles of a gigantic
smuggling ring, uncovered last Sat
urday by the arrest in San Francisco
of nine customs guards, extended into
Los Angeles and San Diego, govern
ment employees headed by Collector of
Port Davis, are probing into the

was received by Davis which indicates
the smugglers sent large quantities of
opium across the Mexican boundary
into California. Davis believes that
this phase of the situation will become
as important as the san Francisco
