LET TEXAS FEED HERSELF"

The proposition to let Texas feed
herself is among the greatest sugges.
tons for the general welfare proposed
in recent years. II can be done and
done easily II Texas people win con.

Woman's Club OF Bryan to have the
members OF the club buy the canned
goods put up by the girls canning
clubs Of the county is right In line
with the great movement to let Texas
feed herself. which In the final analy.
sis. means for Texans to feed them.
selves. Discussing this subject. the
Southwest says:
"A campaign has been launched by
a number Of prominent business men
Of Houston. having its slogan, Let
Texas Feed Herself" The name OF
the organization sounds good and the
personnel OF the people behind II indi.
Gates that II means business,
by all means Texas should feed
herself-that is Texas should raise
everything she eats and wears at
home. and in addition. have a surplus

people OF Texas should not easily pro.

own use and still have enough left to

Everything that is good to eat. can be
grown in Texas without much trouble

TREATING

The recent prohibition campaigns
in several states, the surprising gains
made by prohibition, and the impend-
ing discussion of prohibition legisla-
ton in Congress has centered scien-
tific attention upon the problem Of
drink; and medical men, psychology
lists and others are talking and writ
ing more than they ordinarily do
about "Why Men Drink Alcohol"
In an article in the Interstate Med
ical Journal Dr.. G. T. w. Patrick,
professor of philosophy in the Uni
versity of Iowa, goes into that sub
ject, and in seeking to explain why
two thousand million gallons of al
coholic liquors are consumed annual
ly in this country advances the
theory that men drink alcohol as
short cut to relaxation. They work
until they become tired and then
they substitute alcohol for the rest
and recreation they feel they need.
Alcohol relieves the sense of fatigue,
not by stimulating the tired centers
of brain and nerve, but by putting
them to sleep. He warns that this
is not true rest and relaxation Of re-
creative and refreshing value. 1t is
deception men practice on them
selves, from which they obtain a tenn
porary sense of relief that merely dis
guises the destructive and demoraliz-
ing work which alcohol is doing, says
Doctor Patrick.
No doubt the reason Doctor Pat
rick assigns is powerful one, but

tifc gentlemen who try to solve this

WOMEN OF BRAVE DAYS

1t was natural that the women of
the Revolution and the women of the
Civil War should have been radical,
outspoken and determined, because
they aspired to an understanding of
those great political issues-and they
were lifted out of domesticity and
frivolity by their active cooperation
with men.
Women have always ranked with
men, says Ids Tarbell, "in actual ca
pacity and achievement" and it is
certain that in these two crucial in
stances they rose spiritually to the
level of their husbands. They sought
no immunity from suffering, they
made no ignoble plea for peace. They
posed neither as innocent victims of
mans combativeness, nor as moral
censors of his supreme self sacrifice.
The notion that war is wrong because
1t involves the anguish of women
would have been as repellent to their
souls as the notion that war can be
averted by the wisdom of women
