mistic about the climate which the
British seem to regard as likely to in
crease their difficulties materially. One
writer with the expedition has COM
mented on the general expectation
that there will be very arduous work
for the destroyers, trawlers and picket
boats, as well as for the larger ships
when the gales begin to come up on
the southwest, and that undoubtedly is
perfectly understood by all in charge
OF the operations.
On the other hand, the defenders of
the Straits are making the most of the
weather probabilities to encourage
their supporters. For example, the
Berlin Lokalanzeiger reports that the
Turks are expecting another furious
attack before the equinoctial storms
arrive to prevent absolutely the con-
tinuance Of the campaign till spring"
The same paper says the equinoctial
storms in this regions, particularly in
the Saros Bay. are very severe, adding

which there is no objection is that gov
erning sales to drunken persons
President Won Jagow's suggestion anent
the restriction of distilled liquors includ-
ed the provision that none should be solt:
after P. NJ, and that only liquor of a
comparatively high grade and cost might
be dispensed.
The distillers and liquor dealers
breathed easier when they heard that the.
authorities did; not favor anything so
drastic, but all their hopes vanished when
the authorities2 finally did make public
their new regulations. 1t is asserted on
every side that many cafes that do not
specialize in zbeer-the so-called wine
rooms"-will now have to close at 9 in
stead of at II or o'clock, and that many
Of them will have to go out of business.
These cafe proprietors allege that they
cannot understand the new order nor
the reasons for it. For months now u
has been forbidden, to serve soldiers or
sailors with distilled liquors, and they
say that therefore there is no military
need for the rules. They maintain that
there is a great sufficiency of liquor
for army, medicinal and hospital needs,
now on hand, so that there is no necess,-
ty for extra measures to conserve the
supply in this drastic way. Also, they
assert with the utmost positiveness that
Berlin suffers not at all from any undue
indulgence in liquor which would re-
quire correction through restriction of
the supply.

Drastic Laws as to Sale OF
Distilled Liquors in Berlin

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.
Berlin, Sept. 20.-The restrictions re-
garding the sale of distilled liquors in
Greater Berlin. which were proposed in
August by Police President Won Jagow to
the governing authorities, have gone into
effect. They are so drastic that land
lords and distillers are in despair. and
the general public feels that it's indul-
gence in "schnaps" and similar drinks
is to be very largely curtailed.
The rules now laid down forbid the sale
of distilled liquor except between 8 A.
NJ. and 9 P. M.-the sale in restaurants
having women mattresses and bar maids.
the sale in automatic restaurants and
the sale to drunken persons. The liquor
may be sold only for cash, and must be
drunk on the premises.
Only casual examination of the new
rules does not reveal how drastic they
are. Relatively few persons, because of
the late working and eating hours in
Berlin, have either desire or opportunity
to indulge in spirituous liquors until aft
err the new closing hour.
Secondly, scores of reputable restaur-
ants and cafes now have female employees
in place of the walters who have been
drawn into the army, and therefore these
cafes are barred from making their for
mer profitable sales.
Thirdly, the provision that the liquor
must be drunk on the premises deals a
blow to a bottle trade that heretofore has
assumed considerable proportions. espec-
tally in the less pretentious cafes and sa-

If the experiments of the Rockefeller
institute scientists on cancer cure are
confirmed by time, it Will be a splendid
triumph for modern medicine. These ex-
perihents tend to show that the leuco-
ceys, or'so-called white blood cells, have
the power, when enormously increased in
number. of making one immune to can
GER. And the Rockefeller institute mon
have found a way to double the average
number Of such cells in the system. OF
coudse, this may be followed by some
consequent ill. For one can hardly be-
lieve that a doubling of these white
lymph cells can be brought about with
out some after effect. The white lympth
cells have an apparent individuality OF
their own. They wander through the ar
teries and veins, and even through the
tissues, seeking their prey, which is all
those germs that may be, hurtful to the
body. They are the guardians of the
blood and cellular tissue. II the new
method cures cancer. it will have proved
that this disease is actually caused by
germ-something denied by many scien-
fists. because the microscope has so far
failed to locate the germ.

COFFEE WHIPS up
AND CONSUMES
RESERVE ENERGY
Investigators Declare Continued Use
Of Coffee Works Disaster to Nerv.
GUS System.

Does the daily use Of coffee as a
beverage. continued for a series of
years, do harm?"
Yes" says DR.. w. A. Evans in the
Chicago Tribune. "A horse cannot be
whipped daily for years without being
harmed. A man cannot be nagged
continuously for year without being
harmed. The very fact that, when
fatigue is slowing down muscles and
brain cells, coffee will whip them on,
and that under the stimulous Of coffee
the working capacity Is unduly ex-
cited, is proof that harm will come IL
the process is kept up for series Of
years."
Fatigue Is danger signal" adds
another investigator. 1T means that
the weary body should Immediately
seek rest. Caffeine in any form puts a
mask on this signal, and temporarily
conceals it by whipping up the reserve
forces and then consuming them.
Fatigue is like a red light that calls
attention to ditch in the dark. No
body with common sense would as
sumo for a minute that by putting out
the light the ditch would be removed.
Yet that is exactly what weary people
do when they disguise their WEAKNESS
Tor an hsurs by resorting to stimu-
lants."
