HOW ALCOHOL HARMS
BODY AND MIND
Summers Increase in Thirst
Brings Warning From Pre-
tentative Medicine Au-
thOrity.

kAANAA
"With the summer weather
coming on the thirst for alcohol
in the shape of beer and other
drinks increases. Alcohol was
formerly considered a valuable
medicine, but today its use for
this purpose is extremely re-
.stricted. Only in a few cases OF
diabetes, fever and pneumonia,
where an energy producing sub
stance is needed, is it advanta-
geous," says DR.. M. P. Revenel
of the department of preventa-
tive medicine at the University
of Missouri.
According to DR.. Ravenel, al
Ecohol does not build tissue nor
store food in the tissues. On the
hand it has a poisonous, narcot-
ic action. AS a food it is too
expensive. While one may get
energy from 10 cents worth of
1beer amounting to 240 calories,
the same amount of money
spent on eggs would give $50, on
bread 208O, on corn meal 1910,
on oat meal 1920.
Use of alcohol reduces ones
physical power about 8 per cent
below normal, while mental eff
cheney is reduced from 3 to q
per cent by moderate dosing.
The effect on the death rate is
as strikingly significant. Com.
pairing abstainers, those who
rarely use alcohol, temperate
people, and moderate drinkers

Why Endure Summer Colds?


1t isn't necessary to have a
stuffed head, running nose. To
cough your head off as it were.
All you need do is to use DR.,
Bells Pine-Tar Honey. The
soothing and healing balsams
open the clogged air passages
and in a short time you get re-
lief and start on the road to re-
covery. Your nose stops run
ming, you cough less and you
know you are getting better. Get
a bottle, use as directed. KeeE
what is left as a cough and colo
insurance.
