Appalling the Doctors.

At meeting of the medical society of
Detroit the other day a vote was taken on
the question of prohibition There was not
a ballot cast in favor of liquor.
One of the physicians present talked with
a newspaper man shortly afterward in ex-
PLANTATION of the unanimity of the physi-
clans in their view. He told the reporter
that the effects of whiskey are more fatal
than wars and pestilence. But we practi-
TONERS do not have to have statistics to show
US the terrible results of alcohol and the
Saloons" said the doctor. eve come in
contact with these effects every day The
crimes committed by men who drink against
their wives and children are too awful to
contemplate"
And the moderate" drinker was not spar
ed by the Detroit doctor. This excerpt was
taken from his interview
The moderate drinker is weakening
himself to an extent that his children
may be born without fair physical or
mental chance in life. Such children
die at the first attack of disease.
There was, in times gone by, a fallacy
to the effect that whiskey was a necessity
as stimulant, sort of an evil which was
nevertheless absolutely essential in a mo-
ment of emergency; but that fallacy has
gone the way of many others, and it is
claimed that today no first-class hospital III
the United States carries whiskey in its dis
pensary

Cutler, who have labored so faithfully and
so we'll among US, and bid them God speed

After a nationwide investigation at enor-

taken the public into their confidence and
impaired the information that the soaring
prices of necessities of life are due to the

there are some gifts forgotten, tina
your Christmas list was inadequat,
and that you will still have a few NOR
pretties to provide for the great day.
Here is one suggestion for a yer,
acceptable present that requires tn,
minimum of expense and time, ant
that yet carries with it much O
thought. For ten or fifteen cents 70,
can buy photograph frames with cal
endar leaves attached. The fran,
portion can be had in various sizes
suitable for almost any camera. Surel!
you have some small snap shots O.
photos of yourself or your children
that your friend, for whom you ar
planning this last-minute present
would like to have. If you have no
time to have the prints made befor,
Christmas you can use your own prin
and get one for yourself later.
Right in your own larder is The
wherewithal for any number of pres.
ents, SO by robbing your own kitchen
you can secure presents after your en-
| tire Christmas-pres fund has been
exhausted. Almost any one who does
not live at home would appreciate a
! nice loaf fruit cake or few small fruit
cakes. They should be made with
plenty of nuts and fruit so that they
will remain fresh, and should be neat
ly frosted and wrapped in oil paper.
Then, packed in a box or in an outside
wrapping of heavy paper, they be tied
with the red Christmas ribbon and Of
fered with perfect confidence that they
will please the recipient.
A box Of homemade candy also
finds a ready welcome. and if you have
cans Of fruit or jelly that you can
spare from your own supply go to your
preserve pantry in search of presents
that do not need any immediate out
lay.
1t you are an amateur gardener and
have any fine summer bulbs or roots in
your cellar you might select a half
dozen Of these. place them in a box,
and make of it a present for some
fower-loving friend.
From the woods you can gather pine
needles enough to make a cushion, and
from your sewing box you can find
enough material-cretonne, Japanese
crepe. linen, or any heavy fabric-to
make the cover for such a small cush-
ion. 1t is simple to make and the ma
terials need cost nothing.
From the woods. too. you can gather
dormant hypatica plants or violet
plants. Then for a very little expense
you can buy very small fish bowls
they can be bought for 10 cents at
some piaces-and have them fitted
Win small pieces of glass at the top.
