Alcohol.

Calvin Lamoureaux, Sioux, Grade
A in the Carlisle Indian School Ar
row.
This topic Is one much discussed In
our country today. What is alcohol!
1t is a growth of yeast in liquid con-
taining sugar. There are many drinks
containing alcohol which drive home
to distress and the morals of person
who uses the drink will go to rum.
Alcohol effects our body. health.
brain, and all the organs that are In
our body. Therefore II we want to be
in good health and live happy life
we must not use it. In our country
today people are homeless and hungry,
and the cause Is that the father OF the
home uses this drink.
Now our moral character is affected
by the use of strong drink. The larg-
est proportion of the people who COM
NIT crimes are or have been the VIC
tins Of intoxicating liquor and it has
driven them to commit these awful
crimes. Those who use alcohol Will
lead Others to do the same thing, and
while under the influence Of the liquor
many are lead to do wrong. which they
must suffer for by undergoing various
punishments.
The person who uses drink will have
an unhealthy heart and the body will
become weak. The study of alcohol
shows that 1t affects animals as Wen
as human persons. The use causes the
heart to enlarge and changes some OF
the muscular fibers into fat. This
drink affects any organ person can
name in the body. The use of 1t IN
time, day after day, can not be STOP
ped unless a drug is taken to stop the
appetite for the longing of this poison
1t is the cry among the INDIANS
stop the selling of liquor to the IN
dams" The only way is to cooper
ate and fight against 1t. When once
the brain Is affected the whole body Is
also wrecked. The brain controls the
body and SO to keep from all illness
of the body and keep in good health
the use Of alcohol must be given up.
The cells of the body are weakened,
and the flow of the blood is not IN
circulation as it ought to be, and some
times tubercule germs enter the BODY
If money spent for liquor could only
be used for fighting against the sell
ing of intoxicating drinks. 1t would De
a great benefit to our nation and peo-
pie.
For the last few years great many
of the people seem to think that sa-
looms are a necessity, that the indi-
vidual has a right to do with his own
life as he pleases, that prohibition does
not prohibit. But people. who are
fighting the liquor traffic are not sat
isfled with such conclusions and the
day 10 coming when the use OF alcohol
will be no more.

WORK OF
TEAM AND COACH
Associated Students Pass Resolutions
Commendatory to Football Team
and Coach John II. Bender

BY unanimous vote the associated
students of Washington State College
Wednesday passed a series of resolu
tions commenting the football team
and its coach, John K. Bender, upon
the excellent showing made this year.
Especial emphasis was laid upon the
fighting spirit displayed lby every
man, through both victory and de-
feat. The student body also consid-
cred the advisabiiity of staging the
interscholastic track meet again next
spring. The meets were discontinued
two years ago because of the heavy
expense they entailed, but the plan
OF the associated students is for each
fraternity TO house its quota of the
delegates, thus reducing the expense
item to d minimum. A committee
consisting OF Lusker McCroskey, Les
ter Schultz and Turk Monroe, all
track men, was appointed to investj-
gate the advisability of holding the
meet under the auspices OF the stu
dent organization.
