This idea is false. When alcohol is
first taken into the body, its first effect
Is to make the heart beat faster The
small blood vessels near the surface
Of the skin are then filled, and this
causes feeling Of warmth, but this
feeling soon passes away and the
body becomes cold. Then the drinker
will prepare for another drink
Alcohol also dulls or paralyzes the
nerve centers which control our judge
ment, and this is the reason that a
man in the first stages OF intoxicatlon
talks rapidly and wittily.
In the first use Of alcohol, one may
for time, do more work under its
stimulation. But this does not last
long, and a man does less work.
When alcohol completely paralyzes the
nerve centers, the man is said to be
sdead drunk" He seems to be in q
stupor, because all Of the centers
governing speech, sight, ETC., have
been temporarily paralyzed.
Alcohol is universally classed as q
poison. It's moderate use is danger
Gus, for the reason that the moderate
use of such drugs as arsenic, strych-
nine, sugar Of lead, Of other poisons
is unsafe.
The moderate use or alcohol tends to
produce disease conditions ofsthe or
gans Of circulation; and, by inffaming
the nervous system, it tends toiweaken
both body and mind.
Insanity is one Of the most deplor-
able Of human afflictio ms.
LIT is generally believed by physiOlog-
Lists that insanity is, in all cases, due to
diseased conditions of the nervous sys-
TEN. Because alcohol acts in all cases
as brain poison, its use tends to
cause conditions favorable to insanity.
The fact that person who is under
the influence Of alcohol loses the clear
ness Of his understanding, SO that he
no longer appreciates the rightness
or wrongfulness Of his actions, and he
does not see the consequences Of his
deeds, prepares him to do evil.
Added to his lack Of judgement, the
drinking person seems Indifferent To
all appeals from others who may at

Frequently, those who are kind when

is great need for Improvement In rural

selves will benefit If conditions are
bettered, the schools serving as object

Alcohol and its Relation
to Crime and Disease
The time has come when nearly
everyone has learned the bad effects Of
alcohol upon the human body, physic-
ally as well as morally.
We may compare the body with an
engine. An engine requires fuel to
make it go, the body requires fuel in
the form of food.
A food may be defined as something
that releases energy, or that forms
material for the growth or repair Of
plant or animal.
That alcohol does not serve to nour-
ish the body, is shown by the follow
ing contrasts:
"A true beverage slackes thirst, and
furnishes water to the tissues; while
alcohol produces thirst, and takes
water from the tissues.
Food is a nutritious substance; it
enters the blood in new guise;
satisfies hunger; it furnishes material
for rebuilding the tissues; while al
cohol is innutritious; it enters blood
unchanged; it does not relieve hunger;
it furnishes no material for rebuilding
the tissues.
Heat producing articles finally in
crease the temperature of the body,
and the amount of carbonic acid exhal-
ed; while the alcohol finally lowers the
temperature Of the body, and dimin-
ishes the amount Of carbonic acid ex-
haied.
Food satisfies hunger, and main
tains the strength, warmth and vigor
Of the body. II alcohol is taken into
the stomach, it passes directly into the
blood, and Is distributed throughout
the body. It goes into the blood az
alcohol, and Is distributed as alcohol,
and is passed off the body az alcohol.
| It does not undergo any change in the
body, and it does not appease hunger,
or give any lasting strength to the
tissues.
Food and alcohol are directly opposite
/ in their action, and it is a mistake to
suppose that alcohol is a food.
Some people, especially drunkards,
are Of the impression that alcohol
causes the body to become warmer

Absolute Necessity for Conservation.

Absolute Necessity for Conservation.
A well-known newspaper correspon-
dent, William G. Shepherd, who dur
ing the past three years has been
on both the eastern and western bat
tie fronts, and who is well informed
as to the economic and political
strength of our allies, expresses his
surprise and disappointment at the at
titude of the people of this country.
Mr.. Shepherd urges us not to be con-
stantly specializing as to when the war
will end, but rather consider how it
will end.
We should not fail to realize that
there are two possibilities in regard
to the war in Europe-it will be won
by either the allies or the central
powers and as yet neither possibility
has been eliminated. It is generally
admitted that not since the first few
weeks of the war has the outlook for
the allies been as dark as at the pres
ent time.
The conservationists have been
somewhat ridiculed but the time is at
hand when the people Of this nation
will realize that the conservation of
fuel, food and all the resources and
materials Of this country is not a fad
but stern necessity. The man who
refuses to reduce his consumption of
wheat because grain is still used to
certain extent in the manufacture of
intoxicants is a Stacker. The careless
waste of your neighbor makes econ
omy on your part all the more neces-
sary. The housewife who pays no
heed to the requests Of the food adj
ministration in regard to the conser-
walton Of white flour, pork, beef, NUT
ton, fats and sugar is absolutely dis
loyal to our country. G. D..

there will be serious world shortage

produce the great majority of both. In

Therefore, it is but natural that the
allies will satisfy their own needs first.
