Schermerhorn, editor Of the De-

I'VE believe that II a newspaper car
RES on its first page the story Of a
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page a guaranteed cure for
drink, and on still another page asks
everybody to have a drink-that the
whole process Is as Inconsistent as
when the nurse marres the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for a news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
Is doing in front Of the bar"

A liquor paper recently commented
on the decreased death rate during the
past five years and claimed that dur
ing the same period the sale Of liquor
greatly increased. 1t made this state
ment among others:
'Sane people who are honest with
themselves will draw the conclusion
that the nation is going along under
constantly improving conditions OF
sanitation and sobriety, and while using
liquors more freely, 1t is using but not
abusing"
Then the liquor editor made a mis-
take. He sent q copy Of the paper to
the journal of the American Medical
association. Now the Journal had
among its reference books a copy OF
the Statistical Abstract Of the United
States. which gives the Official figures
Of liquor consumption, and after con-
sulting that authority the great medi-
cal Journal also makes a statement. 1t
is this:
statistics or the figures themselves
