mortality among so-called moderate
drinkers, accepted as temperate and
healthy risks exceeded the death
rate among total abstainers 81 per
cent, 50 per cent, "A per cent. and
1S per cent, respectively.
"All this MEANS" continues the
Bulletin, that steady drinkers who
exceed two glasses of beer or one
glass of whiskey daily are as a class
extra hazardous risks to the extent
of sc per cent, and that there is a
distinct extra hazard even on those
who drink to a lesser degree
Experimental laboratory work
corroborates the mortality records:
one-half to one quart of beer is suf-
ficient to distinctly impair memory,
lower intellectual power and re-
tard simple mental processes such as
the addition of simple figures.
After moderate doses of alcohol
the mind responds prematurely to
any outside stimulation, the reaction
is hasty-the judgment of the rea-
son comes limping along after the
hasty action.
Science does not regard alcohol as
a brain stimulant, but as a narcotic,
deadening drug similar to ether
and chloroform. This narcotic or
deadening influence is first exerted

control conduct, SO that the lower
activities of the mind and nervous
system are for the time released. The

man goes to sleep, as it were, and

This, says Dr. Eugene l.. Fisk,
Director of Hygiene, is the poor,
pitiful sham and mockery that al
cohol has put over on the human
race for many ages, and this is the
discovery made by the Car when he
issued his now famous order. Rus

in her soldiers.
Evidence is now available from
so many different sources that
science can speak with precision ant
authority in this matter. The mora
indictment against alcohol canno
be denied, but the present attitude
towards alcohol of the Car, Kint
George, and of many prominen
American leaders is fully warranted
by scientific evidence. The world i

only 5000 have been interned in
the concentration camps. The re-

These figures were made public in
a government paper containing the
correspondence between the British

bassador regarding the treatment of
civilians.
