the use OF willow. either in the nat

Increased Blood FlozU, T.
Not Necessarily Liquor,

alcohol food. simply because the vital
tissues take care OF It and hurn It up.
The real proof OF why alcohol cannot
be called true food lies In the fact
that though II Is thus burned up in the,
body, alcohol can never be utilized to
rebuild injured. diseased. broken-down
o: lost tissues.
Prof. Joppe-seyler and smiedeberg
seem recently to have brought to light
the true state Of affairs. Every per-
son who drinks the various liquors has
a proportionate increase according to
| the kind and quality OF drink he Is &C.
customed to take. Furthermore. he
finds that the living body does not burn
up even the small amount Of alcohol
that some have claimed.
The alcohol above certain minute
| amount Is sucked into the vital tissues
| and poured out through the waste. cham
| cchoi must circulate through the kid
| ncys. Hence the Kidneys are among
the first of the vital organs to suffer.
A Champagne.Like Effect.
When you have finished a hearty
meal. had a good dinner. or have eaten
more than usual. though you may never
| have touched a drop OF wine or alco-
| holic beverage in your life. you may
feel unusually lively or brilliant in con.
versation. Many men can get UP and
speak brightly after a dinner who are

The exclamation Of this Is not clear.
| From these strange discoveries, how.
ever. it would seem that all Of this
Dutch courage" is really due to the
! increased rapidity Of the blood flow. be-
cause of the newly generated alcohol
from the larger supply Of food In the
| stomach. There is no doubt now that
the ever present alcohol even in pro-
hibitionist's blood Is greatly exceeded
| just after a large meal. What cham.
| na pne does TO the wit Of the imbiber a
large dietary does for the brains Of the
! teetotler.
Sad to say. all Of this offers no con-
ISOLATION for the moderate or the heavy
drinker 1t merely proves that he Is
fighting his healthy tissues all the
harder. becauSe they are only prepared
to deal with a small portion Of the mar

Love and Learning.

Does the higher education OF wo-
men lessen the birth rate? Are the
graduates OF women's colleges less
disposed than their sisters to become
wives and mothers? These questions
have been asked many a time and
Oft without conclusive answer.
Perhaps they are still unanswerable.

1t is assumed that the woman
suffrage cause in Pennsylvania
has been considerably strengthen
ed by a statement made by Gov
crnor Brumbaugh recently at Dem
yer while on his way to the Pana-
ma Pacific Exposition. The gov
ernor not only advocated the adop-
tion of the pending suffrage
amendment, but asserted his belief
that 1t would be carried Novem-
ber 2.
A wonderfully active suffrage
campaign is under way in Penn
sylvania-one of the most inter-
esting ever waged In the history
of the State. A Philadelphia paper
says that speakers in automobiles
are stumping In all parts of the
State. scattering suffrage Ntera-
ture right and left and addressing
groups Of men wherever they con-
gregate, while every agency from
suffrage thimbles to monster mass
meetings and baby checking booths
at county fairs is being used to
further the cause.
In 1913 the resolution proposing
the suffrage amendment passed the
legislature by vote of 1870 to 79 in

was l31 to 20 In the house and 26
