Freeport Bootlegger Fractures
Patrons Skull

Many of the former saloons of Freeport still
"soft drink parlors," with screened windows
and doors, during the wet regime. The other day
behind the screens of of these resorts, Fred
ODonnel, regular patron, knocked in the head
and is in critical condition in the hospital.
Shine Reed, who operated the place. alleges
that O'Donnell intoxicated and became abusive
whereupon Reed struck him and knocked him through
the door.
If the Stephenson county grand jury acts in this
it has in other it will send Reed back
to his trade of making drunkards and criminals, al
though there is both law and evidence to convict him.

Whiteside County Field Day

The churches of Whtesde county which
operate with the Anti-Saloon League and in which
the presentation of the work of the League is due will
have county field day Sunday January "a. On
that day broadside against the saloon will be fired
from nearly every pulpit in the county by anti-saloon
speakers.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

of five cent glass would be about onethrtieth that
of five cent loaf of bread, to be more exact
glass of beer yields "a calores of nourshment where
the flour contained in hve-cent loaf of bread pro-
duces 200 calores. 1t would take Io8 glasses of
beer at cost of $40 to furnish sufficient nutriment
per day for one
But the average glass of beer contains approx
mately "a teaspoonsful of alcohol. Now, a
brewers chemist if he is honest, will tell you that
that amount of alcohol will retard Digestion 1t
ders the digestive juices to large extent inert and
prevents the conversion Of starch into maltese and
dextrose, which is necessary part of digestion.
1t does than this 1t irritates the organs
of digestion and in time permanently Injuries them.
"The men who repeatedly drink beer"
say Professors Horsey and Surge, usually suffer
from chronic gastric catarrh due solely and entirely
to flooding the stomach with weak alcoholic liquor"
quently This is the stomachs way of resent
ing the presence of poison. Even robust stomach
has to be schooed into friendly terms with alcohol,
for Jack London says, "The great majority of hab
itua drinkers are BORN not only without desire for
alcohol but with actual repugance toward it."
The good appetite" of the beer drnker is in real
ity false appetite" The craving for food is caused
by the irritating effect of the alcohol upon the
of the stomach In brief if the beer drnker could
into his stomach and watch what goes there, he
would soon give up the foolish notion that beer is a
healthfu food.

Why Close the Bar at Three?

why OlOSC the Oar at lnT0c.
Anent the recent action Of the Chicago City Council
ARTHUR NJ CoRw1N, NJ. D.
Please, Mr.. Alderman your honor, say!
If booze" is good why stop its use one
O'clock or three, any time of day
Or night? The stuff, It's said, incites to fun;
You surely would not cruelty deny
The right of men any hour to grin,
When life begets much of tear and sgh
And drown their troubles in a glass of gin
go to! King Alcohol is lord of mrth,
His scepter rules the realm of laughter free
Benefcent," you claim, "in all the EARTH"
Why interfere with him at one or three?
ITO guarantee good fellowship and cheer
With ringing song and trimming cup STEM"
You say "how indispensable is beer,
Or bourbon whisky, rye sparkling wine"
What rank injustice, then, to cut it out
For fair, at least o'clock three?
Though college frat and hghbrow home of govt
At that might still pull off cultured spree
Prohibit booze? 'twoud hit the poor mans club
Where laborers pay their dues
On Saturdays in lieu of needless grub
For wives and "kds," and hats, and and Shoes
Has science clearly proved that alcohol
Is good for and brutes we'll? Then why
Has Uncle Sam refused the that drinks at all?
The navy's ships wet, their dry
What ruthless hand the canteens power has shorn?
Big business far and WIDE and railroads, too,
Should hunt for help that loves John Barleycorn
Instead of what they agree to do.
Abolish warming booze? Oh, Gar Oh, knave!
To Danish it from out your shverng state;
Your sober soldiers not half brave
As when the fumes of vodka stimulate
The King and Emperor equal fools;
Their wounded cohorts would not suffer pain,
Anaeshetized humanely by those rules
Which brewers and disters make SO plain.
Good gracious Mr. Alderman, resign,
Or tell us why they quit at three Mayhap
You have, fear, ultimate design
To wipe that liquid business off the map
Go Slow old man, eye is bright
To see the right and properly defend
That home of peace and BOOZE whence shines the light
Of virtue, pure and white, 'the peoples friend"
