Something is Prohibiting.

The United States internal rev.
enue report for the fiscal year
Of 1915 reveals the fact that the
number of persons taking out
government tax receipts as re-
all liquor dealers was II, 295 less
than the previous year, making
at S25 each a decrease of 1875 =
37S. Wholesale liquor dealers
tax receipts decreased 672. Deal
ers at wholesale in malt liquors
decreased 1888, and special tax
receipts fell off 2,070, making a
total of 16, 270 fewer government
tax receipts for the year 1915
than for 1914. The report shows,
further, that the tax levied on
makers Of stills and on manufac-
tured stills and worms amounted
to less than half the sum of the
year before. Thus it would seem
that John Barleycorn is steadily
losing to the forces which are an
rayed against him.

(A) Stomach of man who $ taken wine
 with his dinner, chewing how little di-
 gestion has progressed in six hours. (B) Stomach of the same man when he
 has not taken wine with his dinner,
 showing how far digestion has prog.
 ressed In three hours.
 Professor Wallace then takes up another important statement from Pawlow, in which the latter says, "The usual termina- tion of the dinner is also, from the physio- logical standpoint, easy to be understood. The chief meal is generally ended with something sweet, and everyone knows that sweets are pleasant. The meaning of this is easy to guess. The repast, begun with pleasure, consequent on the pressing need for food, must also, notwithstanding the stilling of hunger terminated With an agreeable sensation"
 Now, sweets" declares Professor Wal lace, burden the digestion at this stage. and the whole of Pawlow's argument on this point is erroneous, because it indi- cates conviction that our organs of diges- tion are insufficient for their work except when they are excited, whetted, and tempt ed by all sorts of psychic and chemical stimulants."
 According to Wallace, the meal should be terminated by food of a natural hygienic and cleansing character. which will leave the mouth physiologically clean.
 "Now, what does so most effectually 2" he

sweets between meals or as jam spread upon bread Then it helps to destroy the teeth and fills the digestive canal with dis ease germs.
 Professor Wallace lays down the rule that the concentration of the different ele- ments composing foods (especially sugar) should not exceed the concentration habit ually found in such natural foods as rlan must have lived on in earlier ages. An other important rule is that three meals a day are to be preferred to any greater number.
 The Professors interesting views are largely based on lifelong study of the func- tions of the teeth and their condition, as observed among his patients. He says .he doctors have completely disregarded the functions of the teeth and jaws by recon mending a pap dietary for young children. As soon as the milk teeth begin to appear. a solid and varied dietary requiring the teeth and jaws to be fully used, should be given to children.
 The incisor teeth incise or cut off DOT tions of food, and the moars crush, tear or physically disintegrate it. while at the same time the saliva and mucus are secreted. The enormous muscles of mas tication in our jaws indicate that the physical disintegration of the food Is prac- tically the one and only function of the mouth and teeth. The salivary glands ex- ist for the purpose of facilitating the move ments of the mouth and food, and helping to clean the food as rapidly out of the mouth as possible.
 copious flow of saliva is poured cut when sugar is taken into the mouth to clear substances out of the mouth which might be harmful to the teeth and mucous membrane. Medical textbooks say that acid vegetables give rise to "a copious flow of alkaline saliva rich in ptyalin." but Professor Wallace tells us that if is simply to clean out the mouth This is shown by the fact that the ptyalin appears in the saliva when the teeth are cut, and consequently when they need to be pro- tected.
 Tt would be . mistake" he says, ito
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-25

argue that whatever stimulates the sali- vary glands should necessarily be regard. ed as specially desirable food. Rather should we Surmise that in foods which ex- cite great flow of sally there may be an element of danger if. for any reason, the glands were not capable of responding ade- quately to the stimulus or if the food W ere of such nature as to hamper the saliva in it's attempt to get it out of the mouth. There is, then, an element of danger in foods which contain sugar in greater pro- portion than it exists in vegetable food as presented in nature, and the physiology of the glands or oral hygiene indicates that sweets. bread and Jam, bread and mar malade, and the like, should not be eaten at the end of or between meals"
 Since the teeth of animals and primitive man are kept in healthy state by their foods, it is simple guide to say that food in its natural condition, will if taken at The end of meal, leave the mouth clean. By a further application of the same principle the whole alimentary canal should be left in a similar healthy state.
 "I have read" says Professor Wallace, that the alimentary canal of children now. a-days Is little more than series of patho- logical specimens, and although this may be an exaggerated way of putting it, there is too much truth in the remark"
 Overeating is a common cause of dys- pepsia. Hunger is a condition that is healthy rather than dangerous. It is cer- tain that our primitive ancestors must often have been very, very hungry. If hunger had incapacitated them for food when it was found. there would have been little chance of their surviving; fortunate ly, it had quite the contrary effect There is every reason to believe that hunger nay be in many conditions of disease very useful remedy.
 Nevertheless" concludes Professor Wallace, q have never seen an emacatedl child with an unhygienic digestive tract treated by keeping food away from it, and the unhygienic state of the alimentary canal is never given chance of becoming hygienic."

Professor PawIoWs remarkable experiment in which he cut hole in dogs throat to allow the food to drop out, and
 made another hole In the stomach so that the gastric juice flowed as soon
 as food entered the mouth, although
 1t never reached the stomach. Pro- lessor Wallace now contradicts Paw lows conclusion that 1t is wise to

 asks. Fresh fruit certainly does; not only the dilute sugars, but the acids, the aro- matic and even the acrid substance in the fruit, do so most effectually. Fruit con- tains but little nutriment, and it's real value is hygienic and not nutritive-much less is 1t a digestive tonic. Foods in the form of sweets, jam rolls, bread ana mar malade. chocolate, etc., are to be con- demned absolutely as meal terminals, as

other hand, food is given in the form of pap and Is slipped past the palate with out chewing, as it often is in the feeding of young children, and of older persons who like soft foods, then the palate is an imperfect guide both as regards quality and quantity.
 Much harm may be done by attempting to regulate the diet by certain standards of calories or heat units which are so commonly talked of in scientific or semi scientific writings. Fresh fruit and vege- tables and other kinds of uncooked foods, without regard to calorics, are necessary. Throughout the whole course of mans evo- lution uncooked food was consumed, and we have not yet sufficient evidence to make us disregard the probability that cer- tain essential qualities are destroyed by cooking. Uncooked milk, though full of germs, is often a useful remedy in re- storing disordered digestion.
 Wrong ideas are spread, especially in Eng land, by highlv-placed persons, whether in the government or the medical profession, telling poor persons that they can get a lot of nonrishment relatively cheap by eat ing sugar. Since the poor obtain the great bulk of their nourishment from bread or cereals, and potatoes, which contain a superfiuity of carbohydrates the food ele- ment of sugar, every penny spent on sugar must be wasted because it cannot be as- simulated. Moreover, the sugar does much more harm than this, for 1t is often taken in particularly obnoxious form, either as Dpi<o <of, ID

TT HERE is nothing that troubles the
 mind of civilized man more than
 the state of his digestion and the problem What shall eat?"
 While enormous quantities of literature lave been written on the subject, and many very interesting discoveries made it nust be admitted that very little progress las been made toward solving the problem good digestion.
 It is wellnigh universal idea among ordinary people, encouraged to great ex. tent by doctors that 1t is good thing to stimulate the appetite by attractive foods, easily digested dainties, and various kinds of appetizers. Some even go to the length of swallowing fiery cocktails" little glasses of Sherry and bitters," and so forth, with the object of working up an appetite, while even the most virtuous housekeepers think it proper to have oysters with condiments, highly favored soups like "bisque of lobster and little spicy odds and ends to pave the way for ! hearty dinner.
 Now Professor J. Sim Wallace, D.Sc., M.D., LIDS, of the University of Glas gow, has made a long series of thought. full studies rnd investigations which com. pletely upset some of our favorite ideas about eating It seems that the gentleman who uses appetizers of any kind to pave the way to hearty dinner. Is really pav- ing the way to an early grave.
 Professor Wallace's conclusions may be summarized as follows:
 QVOidad hunger is the only safe guide to the quan- tity of food to be eaten.
 2-Food should be solid and give as much work to the teeth and jaws as pos sible.
 3-Saliva and mucus are intended to clean out the mouth and have very sec ondary part in the processes of digestion.
 A meal must be of such a character as to have the mouth physiologically clean and therefore should not end with sweets.
 5.--A considerable proportion of our .ood should be natural and uncooked.
 6.-Hunger is healthy condition.
 Professor Wallace lays it down as a cardinal principle of diet that we should recognize that a Tagging appetite is sig nal that amply sufficient mas been con- sumed In past ages unlimited supplies of food were not available, and man seldom enjoyed more of any food than satisfied immediate needs. The old proverb, Hun ger is the best sauce,' came into being in comparatively primitive times and con- tains an essential truth.
 Professor Wallace at this point comes into direct conflict with the celebrated Professor Pawlow, of St. Petersburg, who first made the remarkable discovery that the mere sight and smell of food excited certain necessary digestive juices in ami mals and man. Here is a passage from Professor Pawlow, to which Professor Wallace takes exception as containing an essentially unscientific argument:
 "The custom of the chief meal of the day corresponds with our physiological results. After this or that hors d'oeuvre perhaps also with liqueur of brandy Especially customary in Russia). both of which are designed to awaken the appetite, the re-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-25

past proper begins, and in the majority of cases with something hot consisting most ly of meat broth (bbuillon, different soups. and so on). After this comes the really nourishing food-meat of different kinds, served in various ways, or in the case of poorer people, stews made with vegetables and therefore rich in carbohydrate food This sequence of foods from the standpoint Of physiology, is quite rational Meat broth, as we have already seen, is an i'm. portant chemical exctant of gastric secre. tion. An attempt is therefore made. in two ways, to secure a free secretion of gastric juice to act on the chief food: First. in the excitement of the appetite juice by the hors doeuvre; and secondly, in the promo tlon Of the flow by the action of the meat broth"
 Professor Wallace comments that Pro. lessor Pawlow evidently thinks that every. thing possible must be done to flag the organs of digestion into activity. "These are not the principles of dietetics." says Wallace, but the principles of gluttony."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-25

their effect is the opposite of fruit, which leaves the mouth in hygienic state. Read in the light of my theory l believe Pawlow's experiments are most instructive. Read in the light of the old craze for nutrition, they are misleading, dangerous and con- tradictory.'
 The palate Is a most useful guide to the amount of nutriment needed. according to Professor Wallace, pro- viding that we eat food that requires to be disintegrated and retained in the mouth for a time If. on the
