Study Moral Conditions City School
Vicinities

AS the result Of reports made yesterday by
investigators for the Baldwin Senate Educational
committee which is conducting an inquiry into tAe
Chicago school SYSTEM additional Investigators will
be put to work this week gathering evidence regard
ing the moral conditions in neghborhoods imme-
dately surrounding school buildings.
The belief is that the information gathered by the
investigators will lead to certain legislation barring
saloons and poorooms from any district within a
given radius of school building.
Within the radius of two blocks from one large
school, for example investigators found three saloons
and three poolrooms all notorious hangouts

A Very Learned Lie
But a Lie Nevertheless

doubt that just this which lies in the back of the mind
of the anti-a1cohol leaders of Germany.
Whom are to believe regarding the effects of
German beer-Prof. Chandler, who was born in Ian
caster, Mass, Chancellor Won Bethmann- Howeg
and Kaiser Wilhelm, both of whom, with hundreds
of other great Germans have endorsed this great
movement in the Fatherland against alcohol?

Deusche Chemische Gesellschaft and numerous other
societies. and professor of chemistry in the Columbia
University is very learned He knows all
about endosmosis and exosmoss and can discuss
chlorine gas, bottled beer, ndiferently and with
equal enthusiasm in German, French or English In
brief, Prof. Charles Frederick Chandler is a very
great scholar.
If you don't believe it. read the circular which
the st. Louis Bottle Beer Company is sending out
all ovex Illinois with commendabe impartiality to
both vets and drys.
One of our friends stunned by the professors
titles and preferments, sends the circular received
by him and asks to answer it. It contains part of
speech delivered before convention of master
brewers in New York city, in which the learned
professor is quoted as saying:
When consider the relation of beer to food
struck by the analogy between beer and bread Bread
is made from cereals is beer The bread with little
water is solid the beer with is liquid The
yeast is employed in both 1t produces alcoholic fementa
ton in both 1t converts both into palaable and readily d
gested food Both contain alcohol and carbon doxde
contains only from to of alcohol and is in
toxicating when taken in ordinary quantities
Now, the professor says he learned all that in
Goettingen years ago If he will return to Goetngen
again and visit the learned Dr. Bousset who has more
titles and preerments than the professor himself he
will learn something which he will dare to tell to
the master brewers
Something, for example, like this statement,
signed by eight hundred German scientists and pro-
fessors:
Science has shown that alcohol moderate guam
titles disturbances in the brains action and parayzes
critical capacity power of will the ethical sense
and lowers selcontro For this should realize
that it is poison and longer be foods
Or something like this quotation from Ernest
Gordon's "sThe Anti-Acohol Movement in Europe"
In September, 1912 the beautiful Session Hall of the
local
option demonstration In the Hobbies of the building

hibitory legislation The meeting presided by
Prof DR. Leimbach of Heidelberg and the city

great local option petition which had just been up

"No More Drug Store Saloons

Drug stores of the United States have begun to
clean house Realizing that druggists in differ
ent parts of the country little better than dstrb
uting agents for the liquor Dealers and that for this
reason the business is being brought into disrepute
they have decided to eliminate the sale of lquor as
beverage. The National Association of Retail
Druggists has entered upon a crusade against the
liquor selling drug store The Chicago Herald for
August "a gives the following account of the move

few drug stores of standing surreptitiously

states druggists take regular licenses for and openly
sell liquor in original packages have regular liquor de-
parments, but such and perfectly legal bust

onism by druggists in general.
AS to the sale of liquor disguised patent medi-
cnes several ago, almost co-incidenta with the
passage of the Pure Food and Drugs law the United
States Treasury Department. through its bureau of
internal ruled that all articles sold medicine
and containing alcohol should contain much med

beverage uses they would be classed as liquor.
Under this ruling several hundred so-caled edicines
practically driven from the markets. others were
compelled to have completely changed formula,
while several hundred others, chiefly among the "bt
