LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENCE.

DR.. T. Alexander MacNichol, in one
Of his addresses, says briefly: Fifty
years ago men commonly believed
that alcohol was food, tonic, and stim-
ulant; but they were excusable for ig-
norance, as little was known of the
psychology and chemistry of the blood
and tissues; the action of bacteria
upon the functions and life of tissue
cells was a sealed book. The inven-
ton of instruments of precision and
the application Of more exact meth
DDS of examination has revolutionized
our attitude toward alcohol. In the
light of modern science alcohol is not
a food, tonic, or a stimulant. In
word, science has rated and classified
alcohol as universal protoplasmic
poison to all forms Of organic life."

LIQUOR TRAFFIC GOING UNDER.

-
The Toledo Blade calls attention to
the fact that every few days there is
recorded some new step in the ulti.
mate determination of the liquor traf-
fic 1t says: "A brewery or dis
tillery goes out of business. A manu-
facturer of bar fixtures decides to man
ufacture something else. An indus
trial plant announces that teetotalers
will have first choice when jobs are
distributed or promotions made. Rail-
road companies tighten the applica-
ton of the rule against drinking.
The revenue from beer and whisky
falls off and the secretary Of the treas
ury looks for new sources Of income.
And so, week after week and month
after month, the forces against liquor
increase in numbers, the territory
wherein liquor selling is profitable be-
comes more and more restricted"

PROHIBITION BOUND TO COME

PROHIBITION BOUND TO COME.
1t is only question of time when
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and the other eastern states will align
themselves on the side Of prohibition,
as have West Virginia, Georgia and
other states. I want to say that It
will be a happy day when this has
been done. Years of the past show
that the liquor traffic has worked
against the good of the country. 1t is
an odd fact that no state in recent
years, after adopting prohibition, has
rescinded that vote. All of which
goes to prove that it is prohibition
that the country wants, and is bound
to have within a short term Of years.

If the results Of drinking were pure

A WARMING.

The public at large should be famil-
iarized with the fact that one of the
threatening features of alcoholism Is
depopulation not only quantitatively
but qualitatively. 1t leads to degen-
Grafton of both the individual and the
species. It produces slow and pro-
gressive individual deterioration and
an intellectual and physical sterility
of the race.-Dr. Alfred Gordon Ia the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation.
