THE VOICE OF SCIENCE.

Another solar plexus blow has been
dealt tho liquor traffic. The ~alienists
n neurologists Of the United States,
assembled in convention In Chicago,
adopted resolutions condemning alco-
holic beverages and recommending
that the various state legislatures take
steps to eliminate their use.
1T has been definitely established"
this body of scientists affirmed, that
alcohol when taken into the system
t as a definite poison to the brain
and other tissues, and that the effects
OF this poison are directly or indirect
~ responsible for a large proportion
OF the insane, epileptic, feeble-minded
and other forms Of mental, moral and
physical degeneracy."
They unanimously resolved: "That
organized science should initiate and
carry on a systematic, persistent pro-
paganda for the education of the pub
lie regarding the deleterious effects Of
alcohol" And further, THAT the med.
lcal profession should take the lead in
securing adequate legislation to the
ends herein specified"
The report Of the committee on the
prevention of insanity included the fol-
lowing resolution: THAT we recon-.
mend to the proper state authorities
the absolute control of the sale of al.
cohol." 1t was adopted with little dis.
cussion.
According to DR.. Bayard Holmes,
professor Of surgery in the Chicago
college of Physicians and Surgeons.
this is the first time on record in this
country that a medical convention has
of1clally pronounced alcoholism to be
a positive factor in insanity, and such
action Is bound to have ~far-reaching
influence.

In connection with the national

chairman of this committee, in q re-
cent article In The Survey (Decem.
Der 2O gives conclusive arguments
why the slogan, Back with the
saloon" Is "a safety first measure"
He states that the very fact that sal

especially near the entrances and ex-
It's, demonstrates that the patronage
OF the factory hands Is greatly priced.
T1pplers among these men are bound
to be less cautious than others even
though employed in dangerous trades,
ne declares, adding that saloons near
establishments having machinery are
prime contributing factors to the acct
dents occurring and that this fact
alone should interest every manufac-
turer, society, state and municipal au-

festation of his life and all
lives where sunshine and happi
ness and contentment are not only
artificially cultivated but &C
quired by receptive tempera
ment and a charitable heart. The
names with which he designated
some Of his most intimate friends
at that time busily engaged in
destroying the best manages of
civilization and initiating a re
version to savagery and pagan
ism had soothing effect on the
clamor and din that invested the
exercise. AS an artfuI fencer
and dodger in difficult embar-
raising position Brother Burke has
no superior and should be award
ed the prize of the evening.
DR.. White proved to be the
comedian Of the evening when he
enacted a burlesque on one Of
the shy and timid Brothers pres
ent. The roar Of laughter that
greeted the success Of the per-
formance should make Brother
White feel proud of the silent tai
ents that escaped his daily man
Dpulation.
With reluctance and great
pains, Jules Dreyfus was hailed
into the middle Of the dining room
where he was compelled to dish
out some of his quaint and orig
inal vocabulary. Being schooIed
in that world university that rec
ognizes man as his brother and
life as the divine spark of the
Universe, his ideas and express
sions centered about the central
work Of Elkdom, the distribution
Of charity and benevolence in the
United States. No lesson is more
interesting and more inspiring in
lofty ideals and sentiment that
the life of the Nation and the lif.
Of humanity. Therein you can
learn the tragedies and dramas
Of human existence. The pathos
and the pleasures, the geers and
the tears are painted on every
footstep in mans career. Due to
lack Of time and difficulties of
the surroundings the profoundest
part of the philosophy remained
pnsaid and unsung.
The balance Of the program
was ACCOMPLISHED under the same
refrain. Great credit must be
given to the care and pain of A.G.

took in the preparation and serv-
ing Of the magnificent supper.
From the standpoint Of culinary
art, we don't think anything SUI
