Association, with a membership of 81, :
900 physicians and surgeons, is the
greatest medical society in the coun-

with reference TO alcohol:
"Whereas, We believe that the use

economy, and whereas its use in thera-
Aeutics as tonic or stimulent or for
food has no scientific value; therefore.
"Be it resolved, That the American

use of alcohol as beverage; and
Be it further resolved, That the
use of alcohol as therapeutic agent
should be further discou. aged"

Striped cucumber beetles, squash

Collecting and burning such

sects. Often great numbers may
be killed by trap heaps of weeds,
chips, hay and rubbish about the
garden under which many insects
will seek shelter. After they
have thus congregated under a
heap, set it on fire in late fall OF
