ALCOHOL AND MEDICINE.

A smashing of ancient idols has oc-
Cured in our ideas of the value of al
cohol as a medicine. Seventy-fve, yes,
so years ago it was one of the most
widely-used remedies, not only in
household but also in professional
medicine. We gave it to reduce
fever and to brace up depression, to
improve the appetite and to lessen
overeating in sedentary occupations,
to stimulate the heart and to lower
arterial tension, to break up cold
and to overcome shock. 1t was be-
lieved to ward off infection, to make
blood, and to support the strength in
septic fevers.
Now we know that 1t is not a stimu-
liant or tonic, but depressant; that
though in small doses it increases the
flow of gastric juice at the beginning
of a meal, it checks the process of
actual digestion Of the food later, so
that one influence just balances the
other, and in small doses it's net effect
upon appetite and digestion is just pre-.
cisely nothing at all, while in large
doses it is ruinous.

After the wreck Of French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-preservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead Of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part of
the body had tipped the head under
water, and the person, Of course, was
Inevitably drowned.
Now 1t appears that the greater
number of persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life-preserver is ceinture de sauvetage,
or "lifs-saving belt" This word cein-
ture suggests to the mind, in its mo-
ments of disorder and unreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings,
the idea Of putting on belt, and,
as a belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else, the frightened person IN
stinctiyely adjusts the lifc-preserver
about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person SO provided falls into the wa
ter bis body tips over, with the heav-
Ter part downward. and the bend Ia
plunged beneath the surface.

AMERICAS FIRST DUTY.

The greatest need in America today
is the formation Of new national
mind, the construction of new ma
tional conscience and reformation
that will bring about new nation-a
nation with firmer purpose, a clearer
vision and complete understanding
of the words patriotism and Ameri-
canism.
To bring this condition about, the
first problem to be solved is the liquor
problem and the liquor problems only
solution is wiping it entirely and I'M
equivocally off the map. To accom-
plish the coming of the "New Ameri-
ca" every saloon beneath the stars and
stripes must be closed.
The great political parties have
failed to respond to this call, for they
do not want the responsibility, and the
time has come for the American people
to disregard political parties and rise
up in great army and with all their
strength solve the question themselves.
Americas danger is not from with
out; it is from within. Whatever crisis
the United States is facing or will face
is coming, or will come, from internal
causes. 1t is the American people who
have their own problem to settle, their
own future to decide. And the first
step in this settlement and decision is
the elimination of the saloon.-Ex-G Gov
ernor Patterson of Tennessee.
