DRUNKENNESS IN EUROPE.

mo drunkenness in the beer-drink-
ing, light wine-drinking countries OF
Europe" the anti-temperance people
tell us. We refer them to statistics
recently given to the public by DR..
Walter Kern of the Institute for Path
illogical Anatomy in Vienna.
For two years lat Doctor Kern's re.
quest] death attests In the General
hospital. Vienna, were marked by the
attending physicians with the state
ment as to whether the patient hap
pened to be a drunkard or not. OF
course, the report which came in as
a consequence Of this inquiry was far
below the reality. Many patients, who
were genuine drinkers, would describe
themselves as very moderate, and
many of the physicians in attendance
would not have sufficient interest to
make thoroughgoing inquiry. New
ertheless the conclusion was serious
enough. In all, 4,130 cases were OBJ
served. OF the adult males 8.39 per
cent were Of a certainty drunkards.
In other words, every eleventh or
twelfth man dying in the General hos
pital, Vienna, is a drunkard."

MEDICAL TEST EVERY YEAR
Doctor Says Most Diseases Would Be
Early Recognized and Gould
Be Cured.

We have heard too much about the
rights Of the Individual; let us know
more about his duties. Too much
stress has been laid on the sacred
ness of private property and too little
on the duty of all to contribute to the
welfare of the whole. Preventive
medicine has demonstrated In a prac-
tical way the force Of the Biblical
statements that no man liveth to him.
self alone, and that every man Is his
brothers keeper.
II preventive medicine is to bestow
on man its richest service, the time
must come when every citizen will
submit himself to thorough medical
examination once year or oftener.
The benefits which would result from
such a service are SO evident to med
ical men that retail is not desirable.
When recognized in their early stages
most of the disease which now pre-
vail are amenable to treatment. The
early recognition of tuberculosis, can
Ger and heart disease, with the elm
ination Of the more acute infectious
disease, would add something like
fifteen years to the average life, be-
sides saving much in invalidism and
suffering. The ultimate goaf Of
science is the domination of the
forces of nature and their utilization
in promoting the welfare of mankind.
Science must discover the facts and
medicine must make the application
for either cure of prevention.-Victor
e. VAUGHAN M d. in the Journal OF
the American Medical Association.

EFFICIENCY is wATcHwoRo.

EFFICIENCY IS WATcHWoRD.
Popular sentiment without doubt
heartily approves of the order issued
by the secretary Of the navy prohib-
iting the use of alcoholic beverages
by officers on naval vessels and at
shore stations. To quote the Chi
cago Tribune: There is only one
intelligent opinion as to the order
1t is wise." Considered from the
standpoint of efficiency alone, the or
der commends itself as a patriotic
and a statesmanlike action. AS the
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation points out In this connec-
ton, officers as well as enlisted men
on a modern warship need not only
personal courage, but also absolute
steadiness Of nerve. clearness Of vis-
ion and fine muscular coordination.
All these things modern physiology
has shown to be impaired by even
small amounts Of alcohol"
Surgeon General Braisted has full
knowledge of the latest findings Of
medical science concerning the ma
ture and effect Of alcohol, and his rec
ommendation to Secretary Daniels
was in line with the demands Of the
times. In the next naval war VIC
tory will belong to that nation which
can show the smallest consumption OF
alcohol" said Emperor William.
Not only in the navy, but in the
army and in all the departments OF

pressure responsibilities is there in

ernment machinery don't go well to-

When their majesties arrived. and

To its owners delight, their majes-

to the bird, and the parrot, apparently
Just as delighted. repeated his remark,
enthusiastically: God save the king!

GOOD CHANGE.
Coffee to Postum.

ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
1t is only a simple question of try
ing it for oneself in order to know
the joy of returning health as realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:
II had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and 1 was seldom
without headache. I had heard
about Postum and how beneficial 1t
was, SO concluded to quit coffee and
try it. w.-
II was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has got
ten strong and can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. l think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum.
"My brother also suffered from
fee, but now, since using Postum, he
feels SO much better he would not go
back to coffee for anything"

NEW PRESIDENT NOT SOLDIER
Francisco carbaJaI's Public Career
Has Differed Materially From
That Of Huerta.

Mexico City.-Francisco Carbajal
is forty-four years old. native Of
the state of Campeche, and a lawyer
Almost ever since the start Of his
career he has occupied posts in the
judiciary. In the Madero administra-
tion he was a senator, but relin.
quished his post to re-enter the su-
preme court, of which he was chief
justice at the time General Huerta ap-
pointed him minister of foreign rela.
tions.
When General Porfirio Diaz deter
mined in 1911 to treat with the Made
70 revo1utionists, Senor Carbajal pro-
ceeded to Juarez as his commissioner.
Senior Carbajal has reputation for
possessing considerable intellectual
: force and independence Of character.
His demeanor Is quiet. He shuns the
exuberance in verbiage and gesticu-
lation to which Latin-Americans are
prone. He Is courteous, but man
of few words and little given to elabo-
rate compliments.
Besides, he is neat and well
groomed in appearance. His features
indicate pure European descent, with.
out any admixture Of Indian blood.
Altogether he is q man who con.
veys an impression of reserve power.
He Ia a good man of business.
His probity has never been ques-
toned. He has been sagacious and
successful in investments and, while
not rich, Is a man Of Independent
means. He is q man Of family.
