ARMY OFFICERS AND ALCOHOL

Under the above caption the "How to
Be Healthy" department of the Chi
cago Herald, conducted by the Life Ex-
tension institute, has a timely article.
1t says in part:
"Grenfell, Kitchener and Roberts of
Great Britain, Won Haeseler of Ger
many and Wahlberg of Finland, have
testified that, from their keen observa-
ton on soldiers engaged in warfare,
abstainers from alcohol can stand up
under hard work better than nonab-
stainers, even though they drink in So
called moderation.
"a certain doctor took two gangs of
soldiers and set them to work at the
same kind Of manual labor. To one
gang he gave an alcoholic beverage.
To the other gang he gave none. The
gang without the alcohol did far more
work than the gang with it,
"The next time he tried the same
experiment he shifted the gangs. Again
the gang without the alcohol did the
most work, showing that the result Of
the first experiment was not due to a
superiority of the men,"

UNFlTNEss DUE TO ALCOHOL,

According to Lieut.. w. Randolph
Angel, U. S. N. R. f., examining Off
Ger of the Boston recruiting station,
nearly every man falling to pass the
physical examinations on application
for enlistment in the United States
Marine corps Is refused partly because
of conditions directly traceable to the
use Of alcohol before maturity. The
adverse effect Of even the moderate
use of intoxicants are revealed in the
examinations, and Lieutenant Angel
declares that the conditions which
make such state of affairs should be
abolished at once.

PUBLIC acknowledgements VIEW.

PUBLIC acknowledgements VIEW.
A Chicago teacher, writing to the
Illinois Issue, calls attention to one
feature of the liquor evil which 'edi-
tors and doctors and reformers over
look" namely, the stimmeasurable
waste in teachers efforts caused by al
coholism." In regions, she says
where saloons have always been
abundant and conditions of living
usually because of alcoholism-are
bad, at least one-third of the aver
age teachers time is required to
merely hold in check and partially de-
velop the children of alcoholics. Most
of the abnormal and subnormal chill
dren have alcoholism In their families,
and the sins of the father are visitsd
upon the children even unto the third
and fourth generation.
"These children have one grave fault
In common. They cannot concentrate
the mind long on any one subject-not
long enough to follow the thought of
the lesson. In some this takes the
form of irritation or rebellion, and In
others there is the stupor, the dead
ness, that defies the most interesting
lesson and the most magnetic teacher
"Of course this waste is q loss to
the normal pupils whose teaching
must lag while these weak ones are
given special help. If we could elimi-
nate wholly the effects of alcoholism,
which would require more than one
generation, elementary education
might easily be accomplished in seven
or even six years instead of eight
years, as at present required.
"High school and college teachers
would probably not agree with this
statement, for the simple reason that
the descendants Of alcoholics seldom
get to high school or college"

Wednesday, March II, 1917.

The newspapers of the United
States are rapidly approaching cen
sorship of their news columns and
are bringing it on themselves chiefly
by publishing all sorts Of vague ru-
mors and wild imaginings that have
little real foundation. Most people
suffer from their own excuses and
newspapers are a notorious example
In the present crisis the newspapers
are doing all that skill in writing and
brilliance OF imagination can produce
to make rumors and hearsay interest
ing and it is vague report and NOR
sci Of truth in meal of error that
does most to mislead the public.
Falsehood made up out of whole cloth
generally defeats its own purpose.
Censorship of war news in time of
war is reasonable enough if the cen
soring is done with a fair degree of
judgment, In England the mistake
was made of appointing played out
and gone-to-seed army officers as
censors and they nearly wrecked the
empire by trying to keep from the
public the very things that it was
most important that the people should
know. 1t needs a broad and intelli-
gent board of censors or they will do
more harm than good. 1t should
combine group Of men who
know what news is as well
as knowledge OF military SER
vice. A joint board composed of in
telligent army officers and expert
enced news editors would perhaps
prove the best guess ar SA.

At the age of 6S. upon retirement
from regular active work, an annuity
will be paid amounting to one and
one quarter per cent OF the average
annual salary multiplied by the num-
ber of years of service. No annuity
is to total over so per cent OF the
average annual salary. All annuities
will amount to at least $500.
Upon disability at any age, an an
nuity during the continuance of the
disability equal to 40 per cent CT the
average annual salary for the last
five years, with minimum of $500.

Under this system every retired

nation is sure of enough pension mo-

as a crop, as a maker of protein and
as means Of increasing the humus

BY the latter one does not mean
that alfalfa takes nothing from the
