EXPERT TESTIMONY.

DR.. John Dill Robertson. Chicago's
health commissioner, has this to say
about alcoho':
I'm the city OF Chicago, where the
death rate is approximately 100 day,
it is safe to say that at least 25 ger
cent of these deaths are caused direct
ly or indirectly by alcohol.
"Sir William Osler, late Of John
Hopkins, professor of medicine at
Oxford. McGill and Pennsylvania
universities and one OF the worlds
greatest physicians, says Of alcohol
that it produces acute Inflammation
nr the stomach, hemorrhage Of the
pancreas, heart disease, cancer Of the
stomach, Brlghl's disease, fatty liver,
hardened liver, Inflammation of the
nerves, epilepsy, hardening OF the
arteries and multitude Of other
Affections Of the body.
Those arr known medical facts.
Alcohol IS truly poison. 1t Is not
only the causitiye factor In the dis
eases and Affections l have mentioned
above, but 1t invades the mental man
and produces insanity.

twenty years 10 Chicago the death
rate from pneumonia was lust twice

years. Alcohol is without. doubt 10

HEALTH TALKS
Our Summer Health Opportunities.
By DR.. R. r, Daniels

OF all the seasons, the late spring
and early summer offer the greatest
opportnnlties for health. AT this
time we can be out Of door; 40
abundance of sunshine is at our dis
posal, we can open wide our windows
and doors, both night and day. ana
reyel in fresh air: we can war out
little clothing and give our SKIN
chance to breathe. Most important
OF all. the warm weather relieves the
body Of the necessity Of burning up
large amount OF food to keep iiseli
warm. This means that we can give
the body and its vital organs a rest
half-hollday, as it were. Truly, the
summer is Natures slnitarlum,
How are we to make the most u
our opportunities for health at THIS
time Of year? Fist, through our
eating; we should cut down on the
heavy foods, eat less meat, potatoes,
breads, cereals and fats. Unless a
man is doing very hard work, only a
little OF this food is needed in hot
weather; two meals day is enough
for the average person. Eating less
eliminates food poisoning from un
used food, the chief source OF summer
disease; it also gives partial rest to
the vital organs. Those who die
early in life of WORKOUT organs have
failed to give the organs this summe!
rest.
The second way by which we can
increase our stock Of health during
the summer is by getting an album
dance OF fresh air. We should take
unusual precautions to see that ouI
house, office and shop windows are
kept open wide and that our bee
rooms are ventilated night and day
II possible, we should sleep out Of
doors. There is a great deal Of
difference between sleeping even in I
we'll ventilated bedroom and on
sleeping porch. For the Office man
half hour spent every morning II
working in the garden is excellent.
