Danger Of Alcohol.

According to Arthur Hunter OF New
York. laboratory experiments do not
represent the danger of alcohol as
seriously as it exists in everyday life
This is because they do not prop
erly allow for the increasing need and
desire for alcohol and for it's taking
the place very largely of solid food
among excessive users, he said
Mr. Hunter referred to life insurance
statistics as an example of the inju-
rious effects of alcohol. 1T has been
shown" he declared. that life insur-
ance companies have experienced about
so per cent extra mortality among men
who drank to excess five years or more
prior to the date of application, al
though they were temperate after that
time Even among those who had taken
cure for alcoholic habits. and had been
total abstainers from that time to the
date of application for insurance, the
mortality rate was about one-thlrd
higher than normal
Restriction and final elimination of
the use of alcoholic drinks is vital
factor in eugenics. asserted Henry
Smith Williams of New York in
his address. The per capita con-
sumption of alcohol is increasing;
people drink more spirits and
less beer. the use of drugs is growing
and prohibition is a failure. These are
assertions by Mr.. Williams. who de-
clared that the only solution is to make
the sale of liquor a government mo-
nopoly. Private profit must be elimi-
mated altogether from the traffic, he
declared
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-01-11
Consumption Steadily Grows.

The per capita consumption of al
cohol has increased steadily year by
year in spite of the vigorous efforts to
combat it both by educational propa-
ganda and by legislation" said Mr..
Williams.
THE increase in matted liquors has not
quite kept pace 1t would appear that
there is a general tendency to supplant
mildly alcoholic beverages with those
that are strongly alcoholic. There is
also enormous traffic in morphine
and cocaine. and the use of these drugs
increases in proportion as it becomes
difficult to secure alcohol
The ultimate solution of the prob
lem must be found in the education of
the coming generation to a complete
understanding of the desirability-
from the standpoint of physical health
mind and morals-of total abstinence
from alcoholic beverages"
"lt'may seem a far cry from defective
teeth to drunkenness, and vet it is a
possible and a perfectly logical Sc
quence," said DIR. C. n. Johnson of Chi
cago in his address

Extracts From Old-Time Records.
= EXTRACTS from the early minutes Oh
Eagle Tent, included in an address made
by Charles Williams, showed that three
pounds of candles were purchased to
light the hall and an appropriation was
made to buy wood for the fireplace. Mr..
Williams spoke in behalf Of the tenn
perance movement, saying that in this
age, where so much thought was being
given to conservation, thought should be
turned toward liquor drinking as against
the conservation of the human life.
Mr.. Williams said in part: Eagle tent
was organized January IL. 1919. in Odd
Fellows Hall, then at the corner of 7th
and G streets southeast. A public school
is now located on this spot. 1t was seven
years after the order was formed in the
United States and fourteen years after
it's first formation in Stafford. England.
This organization comes in for a share
of credit in the progress that has been
made for the temperance cause through
out the world. by its precept and ex-
