PERSONAL INSPECTION

Inside the door of each guest room
in one of New York's largest hotels
hangs this sign: "StOp!-Have you
forgotten anything?" Seeing the sign
one stops, reflects, examines himself
in the mirror and then goes on again
reassured.
What a practical thing it would be for
each of us to hold such a sign before
his minds eye. If we would but stop
periodically and reflect, take a person
al inventory of our assets and offset
them against our liabilities; if we
would just look into the mirror of our
own lives more often and see our
selves as we are seen, what better
men and women we would be.
Stop! Have you forgotten any
thing?

DRUNKEN COURAGE DUE
TO PARTIAL PARALYSIS

Much that has been written con-
cerning the use of alcohol has been
colored by sentiment and moral con-
siderations rather than facts concern
ing health, but careful studies carried
out by scientific methods have at last
taught the truth concerning the use
of alcohol.
First, it is am irritant to the lining
membrane of the stomach Second,
it retards digestion and, in large
quantities, arrests it by a depression
of the nervous and circulatory sys-
TEN. Death is not infrequently caus-
ed from large quantities taken on an
empty stomach. 1t invariably has a
paralyzing effect on the nervous sys-
tenn All these effects which we
usually consider as stimulating are
due to partial paralysis in one way or
another For many years alcohol has
been absolutely forbidden to those ex-
posed to extreme cold, like Arctic ex-
plorers.
Its apparently stimulating effect on
the physical functions is due to loss of
control Judgment and sense of pro-
portion are lost and the emotional
nature comes into play. The courage
displayed by drunk man is due again
to paralysis of judgment, causing him
to lose the sense of danger. The
energy displayed is due to the partial
paralysis which deadens the sense of
fatigue given to us normally as a
safeguard against Overexertion. The
ges.iculations are due to the loss of
control over tie brain centers, a fool
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1916-04-04

ish waste of energy coupled with lack
of self-restraint
1t is a common habit to take alcO-
hol to alleviate the "blues" or mental
depression. 1t does this again by
paralysis of the higher centers, and
the reaction comes with double force
The question as to whether or not ii
is food has been much debated a
small amount of it can be burned up
and used as fuel, but at the best it is
a very expensive sort of food and a
very dangerous one, according to Dr.
VI. p. Ravenel of the department of
preventive medicine of the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbia. Alcohol
as a food is a joke, he says.
A collective investigation by forty
three life insurance companies, ex-
tending over twenty-five years, and
embracing 100000 lives, showed that
saloon keepers have a death rate of
20 per cent in excess of normal. Even
moderate" drinkers accepted by the
companies as good risks" showed a
death rate of so per cent in excess of
the normal expectancy.
Some people will use alcohol in
spite of the facts against it. If used
at all, it should be taken only on the
advice of a competent physician, and
unfortunately too many physicians
have not studied the question
thoroughly and are too free in giving
this advice. 1t should always be taken
well diluted and never on an empty
stomach. The safest thing is to leave
it alone. This is especially true for
young people.

ton. Doctor Mez and his companions
appeared in a few of the pictures.
In concluding, Doctor Mez en-
phasized the utter futility of war. He
deplored the atrocities, but said that
they were, after all, little compared to
war, the greatest atrocity Of them all.
Secret diplomacy he called an evil IN
strument, largely responsible for the
present state of affairs.

The Open Column
Suggests Reason For EyeshadeS.

Editor the Missourian: Recently
there was an article on "eye shades
in your paper, in which it was stated
that the shades were mostly used by
the boys or young men. The writer
seemed to think that possibly the
girls did not use them, for fear they
would muss their hair. But l think
we can look for a deeper reason. 1t
is fact that the use of tobacco in
jures the eyes, and may we not sus-
pect a connection between the use
of the eyeshade and the use of to-
bacco?
