LATEST WORD OF SCIENCE.


The liquorites In their publicity arti-
cles often quote what they call re
cent" statement in the Lancet Uon-
don, England) concerning benefits
from the use of alcoholic medicines
and beverages. AS matter of fact II
appeared some years ago and was pre-
pared by proliquorites in an attempt
to Offset the antialcoholic utterances OF
leading English physicians and sur
geons-such men as Sir Frederick
Treves, surgeon to the king; Sir Thorn
as Barlow, physician to the king; Sir
Victor Horsley, England's greatest
neurological surgeon; Sir A. Pearce
Gould of the MiddleseX hospital Sir
James Barr, dean of the Medical
School of Liverpool university; Prof.
Sims Woodhead of Cambridge univer-
sity medical school, and others of like
standing.
The statement received l6 signatures
OF medical men, and half OF these, it
vas discovered, we're men who owned
brewery or distillery stock. 1t was
given conspicuous place in every bar
room in England and In many Ameri-
can saloons-and is still doing duty.
To the question. Is alcohol food or
a poison, a stimulant or depressant?
science is giving reply. It's latest re-
port comes from the nutrition labora-
tory Of the Carnegie institution Of
Washington. where tests were made to
determine the effects of alcohol on mo
tor and mental processes. The sub
iects we're college graduates, some of
them moderate drinkers, some hard
drinkers. In all the tests made the
evidence showed clearly that alcohol is
a depressant to the system, never a
stimulant

ORGANIZERS STORY.

They ought to train their boys to let

the three boys played on the railroad
track and were all killed by the cars
running over them. AS | dryly COM

that the w. c. r. U. never sends out
woman lecturers with small children

The baseball enthusiasts Of Cincin-
natl see visions of a pennant floating
before their gaze this season. The
team that represents that city on the
diamond this year is acknowledged to
be about the fastest that Porkopolis
has ever seen. Competent judges Of
baseball ability who have seen the
Reds IN action during the training trip
and In the championship games thus
far declare that the speed and power
displayed are no mere fash in the pan.

COOK BUSTED UP THE TEA
Little Doubt as to Who Was soss on
Ranch Owned by Robert Louis
Stevenson.

"A party OF visitors to Saranao
Lake, ~ Y, went to call on Robert
Louis Stevenson says the late DR..
Edward L. Trudeau in his autobioe-
raphy, recently published
When we knocked at the front
door a voice from within called out,
You cannot come in this way The
wood is up against the door Go
round by the kitchen.
So we all filed through the kitchen
to the little sitting room with the big
fireplace, where Mr.. Stevenson re-
ceived us. After a while Lloyd Os-
borne asked the ladies' if they would
have a cup of tea and as they assented
he departed for the kitchen Soon he
returned with broad smile on his
face.
! am sorry, but you cant have any
tea; the cook scouts the idean And
we didn't have any" Doctor Trudeau

EASIER FOR UMpIREs
FANS DO NOT RIDE THEM, AS IN
DARK AGES OF BASEBALL.
Attacking Arbiter Verbally and Some

The senseIess pastime OF umpire
batting is becoming a relic of the dark
ages of baseball.
In former years attacking the um-
pire verbally. and sometimes physi-
cally. on every close decision was con
sidered the prerogatiye of managers
and players, while many scribes ali

poor Judge of play
That time passed long ago and in.
telligent players today realize that
nothing is gained and much may be
lost by getting into rows with the um-
pire, who Is in full charge Of the game
on the field and is as essential to the
pastime as the players themselves.
Any fair man who knows the big
league umpires viii have to acknowl-
edge that they are a fair.minded and
conscientious set Of men, anxious to
do their duty to the best Of their abil-
ity. playing no favorites and giving
each decision as It comes up exactly

Umpires, on the other hand. are, as
a rule. very fair and willing to admit
making a mistake. Their position is
a difficult one. The umpire behind
the plate, calling balls and strikes, as
well as making all decisions at the
plate and sometimes at third base. is
called upon TO render as many as l50
decisions in the course Of a single
game The big majority Of these he

Success as American League Pitcher

WHAr DOCTORS THINK.

e When the liquor men circularized
the physicians of Vermont, urging
them to oppose statewide prohibition
the replies were not what they had
hoped for. This is one OF them:
I'VE, the members OF the medical
staff Of the Vermont State hospital,
submit the following as an expression
of our opinion Of the use of alcohol as
a beverage.
I'VE are now and ever shall be ut
terly opposed to the sale and use OF
alcohol in any form as a beverage; we
are absolutely opposed to any propa-
ganda that has for its purpose to le-
galize the sale of alcohol as a bever-
age. 1t has no place internally as a
medicine; 1t is always in all forms
a poison and a destroyer of proto'
plasm and a paralyzer of protoplasmic
activity.
