PSYCHIC EFFECT DE ALCOHOL IS
 LARGE. FACTOR
Doctors Disagree As to Ad-
 visibility of it's Use in This N Particular Function.
(By Dr. E. F. Bowers, Author of '.Side
 Stepping III Health.")

D .4 { One reason for the diversity of opin- ion among physicians concerning the value of alcohol lies in its psychic ef- feet upon patients who are habituaI users of the drdg. In these it buoys the spirits. and engenders hopefulness and courage, But this same effect can be secured equally well -by the administration of other remedies which give all the stimulating effects of alcohol on the physical organism, without any of it's depressing after-re- suits NG
 Even the famous Prof. Ewald of Berlin, who has been widely quoted in defense of the therapeutic value of alcohol, now gives it only in certain forms of diabetes, particularly in in- eurab1e cases, in order to divert the mind of the patient from dwelling on CTS, under similar circumstances, might with equal propriety, prescribe morphine, and recommend it's indis- criminate use. zsfs.
 The decided advantages of non-al- coholic over an alcoholic regime in private practice and hospital work is now quite patent to the profession at large. Indeed, it is contended on good authority that the physician who prescribes alcohol in this era of ad- vanced knowledge of the facts in con- nection between alcohol and disease is unjust to himself and. his patient. And the time may come, in the not distant future. when to prescribe al- cohol in sickness may be considered malpractice.
 Many conscientious physicians now adays refuse to prescribe alcohol, or even medicines in, an alcoholic men, strum--not alone because of the evil effects of the drug upon the system, but also for fear of arousing a dor mant alcoholic craving in some sus- ceptfble patient.
 For not infrequently an intense de- sire for alcohol is flashed through de- ficiently resistant cells by a doctors incautious alcohol prescription. None may flare up. A youth may have had a grandfather who was an alcoholic so powerfully addicted that he trans mitted the craving to his grandchild- jumping, as is the biological custom, sober generation, to work sinister havoc upon the second. The results are obvious.
 This brings us to consider 'medi- cated" wines, possibly the most pesti- ferrous and pernicious insult to the in- telligence of the human race that has ever been perpetrated. These almost invariably contain a large percentage of alcohol, and various other sub-

THE HoLYoKE MURDER

Y ! .f
 There are degrees of murder, Some are sordid-like the recent New York horror whom a man cheerfully did his father and imother-in-law to death that he might have their money. Some are determined matter, of cold ha- tred. Some are deep laid, famed by revenge. Some <are cold blooded af- faira Some are committed to satisfy a desire for extreme sensation Hko the we have cssses like the New York priest who moved on the theory that murder was the best way out of les ser disgrace. And we have hot blood ed murder. committed through too burning love. the murder bred of Jealousy. This is the type of murder that Holyoke has been studying at first hand for few days We find this kind of murder more often among, the Latin races of the South. The charm of their young women and their feminine Hghtness, which very soon develops into sturdier qualities. and the intense and Jealous love of their men are characteristics so deep in their blood that they are storied. All the world accepts them. Such is .theBaracassa case. The heart-broken man. with. his arms around the dead body of the poor young wife, is bound to arouse the sympathy of most peo- pie. A man of northern race would have moved more slowly. With Baracassa it was too hot blood, a too tense love and expecting too much from the attractive young wife who took life lightly and paid the terrible price that the Carmens of this world must always pay but never pay alone.
 Giovanni Baracassa's crime is quaI- flied Its tragedy is tinged with TO- nance. His fellows pity him. They do not fear or hate.

 upon which she was arrested yester- day has been changed to theft and her case In the city court was. continued today until Saturday
 Miss Steele. who is also known as Hattie Stark and has been working at the Smith home for the last week un- der the name of Elizabeth Jackson. re- ported to the police yesterday after noon that she had been held up in the house by . mansw1lo. said he came to pafnt the floors. He pointed revol- Verl 1t her, she ted the police, and then gagged, bound and beat her into ;5cnconsciousness. She said the holdup eccurrtd about 2:2o o'clock.
 't Claiming to have revived at 3;1o ASclock, she said- she crawled. to the '>olephone desk and by pushing her k6ad up and down against the mouth 1lece of the phone forced the gag slrom her mouth Then, she alleges. ihe told the central to send the police fo the houss. She then ran downstairs ma told lErA. c. D. Fendrich of the Supposed robbery and Mrs Fendrtch 5}pk31ed the police.

all ages, which show the death rate among abstairers to be less than half that of alcohol users--21.S per cent. among alcoholic patients, as against 9.9 per cent. among abstainers.
 In another study of 500 cases of tu- bersulosis. the use of alcohol was fol- lowed by a 40 per cent. higher mortal- ity than occurred among those receiv- ing no alcohol
 In France similar results were not ed-immoderate drinkers dying in proportion of 62.s per cent; moderate drinkers in 25 out of 100 cases: while abstainers had g mortality of only 1S.5 per cent.
 The poisonous effect of alcohol on the circulation causes congestion. the formation of toxine, and the reten- labors placed upon the heart in an quickly result in fatigue, which falls moot heavily upon the lungs and nerve centres. K
 This helps explain also the dimin- ished resistance of alcoholics to pneu- monia as well as to tuberculosis and other lung diseases. This was em- phasized during q recent anti-alcoholic congress in London. A study of more than 2.000 cases of pneumonia, half of which were treated with alcohol and half without,S showed mortality of 31 per cent, when spirits 'stimula- ton" was resorted to. and only i9 per cent when alcohol was tabooed. In two large cities in the east studies of death from pneumonia educed the startling fact that, in patients under 50 years of age, from 65 to 70 per cent. of those mortally. stricken had an alcoholic history.
 In cerebral hemorrhage 1t also de- ,veioped that over 50 per cent. of pa- tients dying had been regular users of spirits. And many so-called cases of ''heart failure' and sudden col- lapse had the same grim history.
 Alcohol is of undoubted value used externally. z In levers. particu- larly, applied to the surface of the body, it's chemical, watsr-absorbing and rapid evaporation properties give it grateful refrigerant action. An alcoholic spongebath means chemical the body, with diminishing tempera-
  ton. This Is the nearest alcohol comes to. being a medicine.
 For, taken internally. alcohol is narcotic; paralyzing. corroding, or ir- ritating every variety of tissue in the body. and the more delicate the tissue, the more pronounced the action.
 Dr. T. D. Brothers, of Hartford, af- ter g nfetime's study of alcohol and it's effects upon the human organism, concludes that:
 The widespread use of alcohol as a beverage and the delusive theories which have grown up about it in med icine are due exclusively to It's fascin- ating, narcotic action for the relief of pain, discomfort ana suffering. It is not stimulation that is sought for. but nrrcotism. anaesthesia and re- lief.
 So it would almost seem, as Prof. Bunge says. that, to dry up the springs of race degeneration. of which alcohol is the chief one. is a problem theNsolu- ton of which admits of less delay than any other.

THE HOME
 RUN KING

It w4s just twenty years ago today that Edward !. Delshanty assumed the thronJ as the, greatest home run king in baseball history. eclipsing all previous and subssquent swatters. On that day the. immortal Ed, greatest of the. Delehantys, went to bat five times andN got four home runs and three bagger. Dslehanty- no veteran fan needs to be toldwas with the Phila- 9delphia Natipnals, while the Chicago club led by old "Cap" Anson opposed the Quakers. Will Terry, the "Adon- is' of the diamond and one of the stars of Ansofl's hurling staff, occupied the slab for Chicago, and he was fair ly effective against all the Philadel- phians except Delehanty. for they got only three hits in addition to those iof Dsrar
 On his frst visit to the plate Ed larruped the pellet over the right nold wall for a complete circuit. On his second trip Delehanty drove a soreaming liner over short. Fad Bill" Dahlen tried to handle 1t but 1t was too hot for him and Ed got to third.
 His third time up Delehanty sent another homer over the right field fence, His next time at bat resulted in the ball making trip to the club house back of center, and Ed got an- other complete circuit
 When Delehanty appeared with his war club in the ninth the Chicago players beat 1t to the fences. 4 Ed landed on the ball and sent 1t to the roof of the clubhouse in center field. making another home Fun.
 Ed Delehanty was one of five broth- CTS more or less prominent in base ball circles. He was bought by Phila- delphia in 1888 from, the Wheeling club of the Tri-State League. The Quakers paid $1.900- for him. which was the largest price ever paid to a minor league club for a player up to that time.
 Delehanty's teammates in 1896, the year of his great feat, included the famous veteran, Dan Brouthers, and a young fellow named Napoleon LaJoie, who broke into the big league that year. The Philadelphia club got LAjoie from Fall River along with Phil Geier. President Reach paid $1,200 for Gefer. and LA5oie was thrown in as lagniappe. Geier lasted only a couple of seasons with the QuakerS, but old Napoleon is still able to play pretty fair duality of ball.
 Speaking of brothers in baseball-re- minds us that tomorrow will be the forty first anniversary of the birth in Dayton, ky, of Jesse Tannehill. once a star in the big show. Jesse and his brother Lee. who was for several years the White Sox third baseman. slipped back fo the minors some years ago. Lee is about five years the junior fof Jesse and is still playing minor league ball.

stances-such as malt. beef extracts. pepsin, rum. or even cocoa leaves. Wines that contain cocoa extract have frequently been responsible for the formation of the cocaip0 habit. one of the most dangerous and insidious of all drug habits. and perhaps the most difficult to cure. -
 Most people who take medicated wines honestly are deceived by them. since they look upon them as medi- cine rather than &s "booze'' Some even imagine that the presence of the beef extract, malt or iron, renders the dope" harmless; but this is far from true. Indeed. the very opposite is the case. For pickling malt or beef juices in alcohol lengthens the period required for their digestion. and thereby renders them less whole some as food-for, of course, they can have no medicinal action. as such.'
 A few cents worth of freshly made Blaud pills will give far better results than a dollar bottle of '.iron tonic"- and without risking the creation of an alcohol habit, or poisoning the protop- lasm with an exceedingly cheap iqual- ity of "bug juice"
 Taboo medicated wines and all 'tonics" the chief ingredient, of which is alcohol. If you must Nave spirit stimulation. buy 1t openly and honest ly. Don't attempt to evade moral and ethical responsibility by buying it from druggist rather than from a saloon Keeper.
 And. this interdiction applies with equal force to so-called "tempErance drinks" which are "ten.perate'' only in name. There Is a scarcity of American statistics on this subject. but a recent writer on the Montreal Her aid has told us something of condi- tions in Canada and there is no reason to believe that they differ materially among us.
 We learn that out of IA samples of ginger beer analysed three were strongly impregnated with alcohol. while another socalled temperance beer contained enough proof spirit: to send some people home talking to themselves. In Kingston one could buy for 10 cents enough beer contain ing 2.86 per cent. of alcohol, to start river. Tn Winnipeg ginger beer was found which contained All per cent. of alcohol. The enthusiastic tenn perance advocate. who manages to Toad up" on this ginger beer. would suffer all. the horrible effects of katz- enjammer and morning after repent ance which would normally accrue to him as a result of saturating his sys- tenn. with the ordinary domestic or garden variety of beer.
 Within the memory of many of us who are only slightly gray, it used to be thought that a jug of whiskey, a barrel of codliver oil. and glad free life in the open air, constituted a sure cure for consumption. But we know better now. We know now that whis- key is ''bad medicine" and especially bad for lung diseases, because of its effects upon the blood vessels, the pragocytes, and it's general lowering of resistance.
 Dr. Jacques Bertillon, Chief of the Bureau of Municipal Statistics in Paris and world-renowned as the originator of the famous Bertillon system of measurement-hasg given as his opin- ion that alcohol may well be called the principal cause of tuberculosis. Supporting this contention he cites the mortality statistics of 100000 men of
