LETTER FROM EDWIN s. FEE
NOW IN HAVANA, CUBA FEB. 8
To My Dear Kentucky Friends:

To My Dear Kentucky Friends:
Three weeks ago my wife and l
left our home, at Clarksburg, Ind, in
eight inches Of snow. We started
out for a southern trip, coming first
10 Cincinnati, o., then to Ashvillc,
n. c., spending three days there then
TO Atlanta. Ga. There 10 our surprise
we had a fine Berea reunion with DR..
Chas. Gould and wife, Mrs. Goulds
mother, John Pasco and wife and
Mrs. b. s. Hunting. The latter
was on her way south for the
winter. Then we came on to
Jacksonville, Fla. There we found
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Rogers. He is
the youngest son Of the late j. A. r..
Rogers, who was so closely conectei
with my father, in an early day in
the establishing of Berea and Berea
College. Then we came on to Tampa
over to st. Petersburg, then back to
Port Tampa. There we took boat
via Key West for Havana, Cuba.
So here we are N a very strange and
foreign city. Lots of strange and
beautiful sights to see. Plenty OF
white linen suits and panama hats
are worn here now. Beautiful
flowers, tropical fruits, and luxuS.
ant vegetation all about us. We
have taken several excursions over
the city and out into the country
among the famous Havana tobacco
fields, pineapple and sugar cane
fields.
We start back for the states
tomorrow hoping to visit at Key
West, then up the eastern coast
of Florida to Miami, Palm Beach
st. Augustine, Jacksonville, Old
Point Comfort. Washington ID. c..
then on to New York City, spending
a few days there with friends and
relatives, one of whom is my neph-
ew. an old Berea boy, VIM. ID. En-
bree. also another up at New Haven,
Edwin R. Embree. Then we will
turn toward home hoping to come
by old Berea and once more shake
hands with many of the dear friends
there.
Yours truly,

The Teacher and the Temperance Question
ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY
Prof. John p. Smith


and other seed diseases should have
plentiful supply Of alcohol TO
drink, but the wisest doctors know
better. II is especially harmful in
cases Of tuberculosis. Whenever
the patient takes a big drink OF
brandy he drives another nail in
his coffin. An investigation was
made by a great physician about
twelve years ago in a French sana-
torium where large number OF
tubercular patients were being
treated and il was learned that
80 per cent Of these patients
were avowed alcoholics, q per
cent were moderate drinkers, 81 per
cent were occasional drinkers, and
only 6 per cent were total abstain
ers. In another hospital ward there
were &c tubercular patients. 81 Of
whom were users Of alcohol.
In one province Of France where
people used certain amount Of
wine per capita the death rate pei
1900 people from tuberculosis was
SO. In another province where peo-
pie used three times as much wine
per capita the death rate per 1000
was i0S per cent.
Now you must not suppose that
using alcohol causes people TO get
tuberculosis. The disease does not
come from the alcohol, but the use
OF alcohol does prepare the body
for the disease. II weakens the It's
sues and intOxicates the white cor
puscles, or even binders their
growth nearly altogether, so that
when the tuberculosis germ enters
the body to do its deadly work IL
does not have to overcome a strong
bodyguard before il begins its
work of tissue destruction.
You wonder how the presence OF
alcohol interferes with the growth
OF the white corpuscles. You must
remember that the white corpus
cles are cells. They are produced
in the marrow Of the bones and in
few other parts Of the body. As
TO just what chemical process goes
on when alcohol is present shall
not attempt to explain, but the fol-
lowing experiment will illustrate
the results of the hindering pro-
cess.
Into five different test tubes a
culture was placed, and into each
culture few yeast plants or cells
were placed. The culture in the
first tube consisted of part alcohol
to 999 parts of other liquid; the 2nd
contained 1 part alcohol TO 80 parts
of other liquid; the Ord contained 1
part to 9; the 4th contained 5 pei
cent alcohol while in one tube there
was only pure culture with no al
cohol at all. After few hours the
number of yeast cells were counted
in a cubic millimeter of each kind
of liquid. The culture that contain
ed no alcohol had 2O6i yeast cells
in one GU. m, M; tube number
contained i,i9i cells in one GU. m
m: tube number two contained 992
cells; tube number three had S52
and tube number four had only So
cells in a cubic millimeter. Thus
we see that the presence OF alcohol
even in very small quantities in
terferes with the growth Of cells
in the yeast plant. 1t is not q
long stretch of the imagination TO
conclude that il will interfere seri-
