The National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association has issued a
statement showing that over half the
union was dry in 1855, and it pre-
tends to get some consolation out of
this fact in the present desert condi-
ton of the country. This has led
the Waukegan Gazette to make a
comparison of the two dry waves:
The Union in 1855 was an entirely
different Union than it is now.
In 1855 The Union did not consist
of A8 states.
In 1855 the Union was not sure
that it did not wish to have slavery
exist.
In 1855 Abraham Lincoln, the
emancipation of million black men
and the determined opponent of
whisky was almost unheard of out
side of his own small community.
In 1855 Frances Willard and her
magnificent organization, the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union
had not come to life to battle with
its dread foe.

In 1855 the Union. was new, scarce
ly reaching beyond the valley of the
Ohio river, and the people were busy
pioneering. They had not taken up
seriously any of the great economic
questions which are today being con-
sidered
In 1855 the National Wholesale

This is not 1855. This is 1916 and

called into action and behind it will
be found millions of earnest men and
women who will carry the fight
against old King Booze into every
state capitol and to the capitol of the
Union, in the hope of redceming a
people who were rapidly becoming
drunkards.
To which we should like to add that
the dry wave of 1855 was largely emo

THE WHOLE BODY POL
SONED BY ALCOHOL

Psychologists class alcohol as a
"protoplasmic poison" by which they
mean that it attacks the cells in the
blood and so poisons the whole body
The majority of protoplasmic
poisons," says Sir Victor Horsley, al
ready quoted, "(of which alcohol is
now recognized to be very promn-
ent one) have the power of primarily
interfering with the al1-important
oxygenation of the protoplasmic it's
sues. How far they actually assimi-
late by combination the oxygen which
the tissues require is still an open
question, but they directly interfere
with the powers of these tissues to
take up such oxygen as is available.
In the case of alcohol, SO great is its
poisonous influence in this particular
that the needed oxidation of the fats
and starches taken into the body is
interfered with in a most marked
way, and with disastrous results in
the shape of fatty degeneration and
other maladies. Alcohol also appar-
emily seizes upon part of the inval-
liable oxygen in the blood, and the
two form combinations, i. e. oxidation
products, whereby some of the oxy-
gen is prevented from ever reaching
its normal destination. Interference

laughter, and song; of emotional
feeling and expression; of sentimental
lity; and, in increasing doses, of still
older and more basic impulses, such
as garrulity, quarrelsomeness, reck-
lessness, immodesty; and finally, of
coarseness and criminal tendencies.
Thus, under the progressive influenced
of alcohol, we see the whole life-his-
tory of the race traversed in reverse
direction, for the criminal life today
represents the normal life of print
tive man"
1t was such facts as these that led
M. Delpech of the French Chamber
of Deputies to exclaim

According to Capper's weekly, AKn

is not altogether to help other states,

the elimination of liquor from the
nation at large. Says Capper's

wide campaign for which the Anti
Saloon League stands, yet strange to
say, Kansas is today the only state
that has had no organization of the
League.
"The Anti-Saloon League in its
campaign for national Prohibition
needs every ounce of backing and CO.
operation that the. anti-saloon forces
of the country can give.
"While there is no question where
Kansas sympathies are in such con-
test or where its delegation in Con-
gress stands, the friends OF the
movement in the state should be as
we'll organized as they are in other
states"

Sir Victor Rosley, M. D., chief of
the Medical Bureau OF the British
Army and late professor OF pathology
in University College, London:
1T is interesting to note that alco-
hol is always included among the
poisons and in the archaeological
classification of poisons, it is invari-
ably placed side by side with chloro-
form and ether, and described as a
narcotic poison"
Professor Frederick Peterson, M.

president of the New York State
Commission of Lunacy:

is food. If so, it is poisoned food"
The late Sir Andrew Clark, M. D.,
physician TO Queen Victoria:

always in some way or other injured
by it."

ING" FALLACY

Professor Debovc, chief of the
faculty of medicine, Paris:
Catholicism is chronic poisoning
resulting from the habitual use of al
Icohol, even when this is not taken in
amounts sufficient to produce drunk
enness."
DIR. +. X. Dercum, professor of ner-
vous and mental diseases in Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia; from
chapter entitled Drug Habits in Mod
ern Treatment"
among inebriates, especially alco-
holics, we find two classes of indivi-
duals: First, those in whom the
drug or stimulant is used habitually
day after day-of this class, the So
called moderate drinkers is typical;
secondly, those in whom the stimu-
liant is taken at regularly or irregular
ly recurring periods.
"The practical points to bear in
mind are, First, That an alcoholic
man is man who is i'll, i'll as a result
of chronic poisoning, poisoning

MAY ASK BOARDS TO EXEMPT ALL
 N. H. R. R. FORGE
Complete Census of Its En- plOyes Eligible for Mill
 tary Service.

Trainmasters and yardmasters on the Hartford division of the. New Ha- ven road yesterday began a census of all employees of the road eligible for military service. The fmeh are being asked to fill out cards setting forth information as to their age, family conditions, and as to whether or not they are included in the first draft
 There is much speculation among the men as to what the census indi- cates. Many think it may mean that the road will ask blanket exenap- tion for its employees. This theory is strengthened by the fact that the road is suffering from a. shortage of men at the present time and is hay ing difficulty in keeping its crews filled, especially the yard crews. It has been found necessary of late to deny the men leaves of absence, as there are usually no men on the spare list to fill the places Others think the census is being taken SO that the officials may inspect the rolls and ask special exemptions for valuable men, Another guess is that the road will see to it that the men drafted into service will be promptly paid over time money due to most of the em- ployes. One-third of the overtime dorked during the first three months of the year. pending thes upreme cour decision on the constitutionality of the Adamson eight-hour law, is still unpaid for. but 1t isSknown that the road Is making every effort to get
 he money to the men and waiting only for the perfection of the clerical work.
