ALCOHOL WEAKENS
STRENGTH OF WILL
DR.. Geisel Says Drink Tears
Down Inhibitory Fibres in
Brain.

In her health lesson, given to a
large audience in spite of the rain
this morning, DR.. Carolyn Geisel,
health lecturer, devoted herself to two
themes-"AlcohoI' and "Constipa-
ton"
In explaining the effects of alcohol
on the human system, she showed by
charts how it affects blood and nerve
cells.
These little microphags which you
see on this chart are on duty all the
time catching disease germs. When
alcohol is taken into the system, these
microphags are demoralized and thus
the defenses of the body are broken
down. One half Of whiskey drinkers
dies of tuberculosis
BY means of photographs, she show
ed how that the nerve cells of the
brain branch out like tiny trees, all of
the branches of which are in constant
motion, except during sleep. when
we think" she explained, these little
undulating branches from one nerve
cell reach over and link up with the
branches from another and thus the
connection is made. When alcohol is
taken into your system, these nerve
branches break off, they become thick
and stiff and thinking is made diff
cult"
Breaks Down Will.
"Why is it that a drunkard can't
stop? 1t is because the nerve cells
of the body have connecting them
tiny fibre which is called the inhibit-
ory fibre. These inhibitory fibres are
the physical basis of will power. One
of the effects of alcohol is to destroy
them. That is why alcohol breaks
down the will power"
you haven't any right to leave any
business standing around in the coun-
try that muses. up the brains of our
boys and our men. During every six
minutes of the twenty-four hours,
some mothers babe goes to the drunk
| ards grave. Why should mothers
keep on raising babies under these
| circumstances?
In explaining how to cure constipa-
! ton, DR.. Geisel warned her students
| against the use of drugs. "a doctor
can't cure constipation, but you can
| cure it yourself.
Use Bulky Diet.
"Have plenty of bulk in your diet
| Use whole wheat bread, bran, coarse
| vegetables, raw cabbage, green's,
fruits, vegetables, gelatine and ager-
| ager. And be sure and chew your
food thoroughly. You girls remember
that bran is the best complexion puri-
fier that there Is. You should eat a
little bit of it every day.
"See to it that you have plenty of
! fruit acids in your diet. Fruit is anti
septic. Lemon juice, oranges, grape
fruit, lines, prunes, apples, figs, dates
and pine-apples, these are splendid
remedies.
you also need plenty of nut oil and
vegetable OIL Olive oil, paraffine oil,
Brazil nuts, pine nuts and pacans are
all good. Chestnuts are not good
And don't forget to drink lots of
water. Drink two and one-half quarts
day. Take it a half hour before
meals, two hours after meals, just
before sleeping and the first thing in
the m9rnin1."1

CATHOLIC CHURCHES
MOURN P0PE'S LOSS
Father F. A. Roell Pays Trib-
ute of High Regard for
Dignitary.

Pope Plus x. has done more for the
Catholic church in America than any
other pope in the history of the
church." said Father F. A. Roell this
afternoon. 'The American Catholic
church now stands ON the same foot
ing as the churches in the countries of
Europe, while formerly the United
States was merely considered as a mis-
sionary country and all the business
OF the church was handled Indirectly.
Now the church in the United States
is managed directly by the pope just
the same as in the other countries" )"
"The American Catholics have ap.
preciated this and the news of the
death Of the present pope, who has
done SO much for the Americans, is
read with the greatest sorrow" said
the local rector.
No official announcement of the
death Of Pope Plus x. has been re.
ceived by either of the rectors of the
local Catholic churches. AS soon as
the official announcement is received
here from the bishop at Indianapolis
ranged.
Hold Requiem Mass.
Throughout the world requiem mass
was celebrated today for the late
Pope Plus x. In Rome the papal col
ors were at half mass, the churches
were crowded and silent reverent
! throngs filled the streets about the
vatican. In the war-torn countries Of
central and northern Europe, prayers
were uttered in Cathedrals that lay
within sound Of the bombardment o
artillery. In America services were
conducted in Roman Catholic churches
| for the repose of the soul.
From the lowest to the highest, IL
| the ranks of Catholics in Rome, sign:
Of deep grief were apparent today
Messages expressing the grief of pre-
| lates poured into the vatican.

DOPESTERS OF WAR
FIGURE OUT MOVES
Many Richmond Men Lead
Imaginary Troops Across
Maps to Victory.

A thousand foreigners in Richmond
are tracing across maps movements
Of European armies. Double that num-
ber of minds are directing the pro-
gress of the armies to their friends,
office boys, wives and Sweethearts.
Especially among the older men of
the city, a clan of "war fans" has
sprung up. Baseball dopesters are fad
ed into significance by the fans who
are doping out the European war.
Men who have been in either the
Spanish-American war or the civil war
or students of history and current
events are emphatically exchanging
ideas, theories and war news on street
corners, in club rooms, at home or at
the office.
Would Fill Books.
What German generals should do to
vanquish their foes would fill volumes
if taken from the war fans of Rich
mond alone. The motive of the Kais-
er in his sweeping declarations of war,
the probable part Russia will take,
the spirit of the French, the English
attitude and in fact every big war
problem receives it's full share Of dis
cussion and argument.
Since Japan has sprung into the
limelight in war developments, the
new questions which have arisen in
clude the speculation as to whether
the United States will be drawn into
the continental warfare.
Opinions are divided on this sub
ject. Many believe that with fighting
so general it is impossible that all
United States treaties will be kept
which should be in force in war times
Some declare the United States will
be drawn purposely into the war by
Japan through this method.

ASSOCIATED CHARITY
TO CONTINUE WORK
UNDER new SYSTEM
Old Organization Will Pre-
serve Identity Under Gen.
eral Supervision of Central
Charitable Bureau.

Plans for the organization Of q cen
trail charitable organization to which
the various local charitable organiza-
tions. including the Associated Chari-
ties, would be subsidiary. each with a
representative on the board of direc-
tors of the central bureau, have been
completed.
I'VE have two men, both especially
trained in social settlement work, who
would be willing to accept the secre-
taryship of the new central charitable
bureau in this city, and one of them
will be selected for the position with
in the next week or ten days." said
Fred G. White, chairman of the spe-
cial committee appointed at meet
ing held last winter to perfect plans
for the formation of such an Organiza-
ton.
'In the past the various charitable
organizations have employed different
methods for raising funds for their re-
lief work. This year only one fund for
such work will be raised and it will
be under the supervision of the CEN
trail body. 1t is planned to raise
about $4,000 by popular subscription.
The subsidiary bodies of the new bu-
reau will cooperate in this work. We
believe that $4,000 will be enough to
meet the salary of the secretary and
provide all the relief necessary"
Prevents Duplication.
Under the plans formulated for the
new system of relief work, each of the
subsidiary organizations will contin-
ue to conduct it's affairs as in the past,
but it will be the duty of the bureau
secretary to keep closely in touch
with the work of each society to pre-
vent duplication of relief. From the
general fund each organization will re-
ceive an appropriation sufficient to
carry out its work; but the finances
of each subsidiary body will be super
vised by the central secretary. AS
the result of this system the finance
boards of each society will be abol-
ished and the directors of the central
bureau will have charge of all finan-
ces, the secretary working under
them.
One of the plans to be worked out
in the new system calls for the edu-
eating of numerous chronic depend
ents to be self supporters. 1t is
hoped to accomplish this through the
direction of the central secretary. The
secretary would keep in close touch
with the various business interests of
the city so that employment can be
more readily provided.
The secretary will also keep a card
| index record of all persons to whom
relief is furnished so that it will be
| possible to scientifically study each
| individual case.

JUNEAU VERY POOR LOCATION.

It is our aim to make the Mail toiler in the interest of Alaska, and all of Alaska We may be a little preiudiced in favor of our home city and surroundings, but we honestly declare that Alaska in general is d close second, and we expect to each week call attention to matters that in the upbuilding of our territory will demand the earnest consideration of Alaska people. A matter that we now have in mind is the question of the most convenient location of our territorial capital. We see the necessity of considering this matter now, because we are just contemplat- ing the erecting of expensive territor- ial buildings and we believe most of our readers will agree with us that Juneau is in no sense the most con- veniently located city for our future capital. From a personal view, con- sidering location and all conditions having hearing in the case we would unhesitatingly suggest Valdez as offering general advantages over- whelmingly superior to Juneau for our capital.-Ketchikan Mail.

that the profits can take care of the debts. And there's no fear of the shelves going empty.
 It's really wonderful the way that account with Europe is being straight ened out. In October, Uncle sold abroad nearly $6O,OOO,OOO worth of goods more than he bought. Thus the trade balance" in his favor can celed that amount of indebtedness. And paying off obligations at the rate of $6O,OOOOOO a month is going some, even for the General Storekeeper of the World.
 The rate of payment is going up faster than ever, too. Why, during the first two weeks of last month the excess of exports over imports in our ten leading seaports was more than $32,OO0,OOO. The total favorable bal ance in all the seaports, of course, must have been several millions 1udI ldlC, II anu it will probably increase-will make a favorable trade balance of $75,000,- 900 or ssO,OOO,OOO for the month.
 Uncle Sam will have no more trouble with his foreign creditors.

THE WORLDS sToREkEEPER.

Uncle Sam, General Storekeeper of the World, is doing nicely, thank you. He still has too much cotton on his hands, but he's succeeded in raising that 5,0O0,O00 fund to carry few million surplus bales until he sells the rest in the natural course of trade. With his cotton exchange op- en again, there is healthy demand developing. And the bales he slows away in the storeroom will keep.
 In other lines of business Uncle Sam has his hands full. Europe is still keeping the cables hot ordering provisions for her armies. And as for manufactures, the nations are waiting in line to have their orders filled.
 Two or three months ago Uncle was considerably in debt and his foreign creditors were yelling for cash. That made it unpleasant. for. while Uncle has plenty of good, hard gold in the safe, he didn't want to part with it Gold never looks so good as in wal time. But now everything is lovely Ills stock of goods Is selling so fast

 plies in the country census of ami mals is to be taken throughout the German empire on Dec. 10. Cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and horses are to be enumerated. As the result of a conference between the government and the Berlin bakers, the baking of bread more than twice day has been prohibited in order to prevent waste of grain due to the fact that the public always insists on having new bread. The sale of stale bread as food for cattle is declared illegal, and it is enacted that as much stale bread as possible shall be rebaked to appear as new. It is estimated that these steps will result in saving 12,- 900 pounds of flour per day in Berlin alone.

THE BOREDOM OF BATTLE"

Little by little the trench fighting to which modern battle has deterio- rated is revealed in all it's ugliness. Life in the water-soaked and she'll swept ditches under incessant toll and strain wear out bodies and souls alike, until the wonder is that sol diers have enough vigor and spirit left to charge when the order comes. The psychology of those exhausted men burrowing in the mud is. thus described by M. H. Donohue, an Eng fish correspondent:
 Gradually one begins to realize the boredom of battle, to acquire some of that fatalistic indifference to the chance of death which enables the soldiers to stir their soup without an upward glance at a sky full of jagged steel. Only now and then the old question comes to one This, or the next?'"
 And from the same correspondent comes this eulogy on the brave men who killed each other in one of the fercest fights of the Belgian battle line
 "Nieuport is in ruins, destruction has set it's grim seal upon the town, and all things living have long since fled from the place as if from some spot accursed. Newport is inhabited, but it is by the dead In unburied heaps they lie thickly among the sand dunes which surround it, and in the town itself in the midst of the si- lent, deserted streets and among the gaping, disheveled houses. Belgian and Teuton and Gaul lie there, having met and fallen in the rude shock of battle. Time will not be oblivious to their heroic deeds, but at present they lie where they fell, and sepulchre is denied them because this vast zone of the dead is still swept by the shell fire of the contending armies"
 And Nieuport is only trivial de tail of a single campaign of a wal now grown so great that no man car follow it's operations or grasp all its horrors.-Ex.

Germany Prepares for Allies Inva
 sion.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-An invasion by the allies is feared by Germany, ac- cording to The Copenhagen Evening News, which reports that extensive preparations are being made to guard against such an eventuality.
 The News says it has learned from witnesses that the Germans are strengthening old fortresses in the former Danish territory of Schles- wig -Holstein, as we'll as line of in- trenchments, called the Dannewerk, along the northern side of the Kiel Canal. It is thus hoped to protect the canal against attacks from the north for it is on the shores of Schleswig according to these reports, that ar invasion is feared.
 All the German islands in the Nortf Sea, it is said, are now closely guard ed, and strongly fortified positions are being erected on the shores o1 Holstein and along the western side | of the River Elbe.
