WHISKY DoESsNOT WARM.

Sir Lauder Brunton, in his Leo lures on the Action of Medicines" gives striking example of the dan- ger of taking alcoholic drinks to keep warm." A party of engineers were surveying in the Sierra Nevada They camped at n great height above sea level where the air was very cold, and they were miserable. Some of them drank little whisky and felt less uncomfortable. Some of them drank lot of whisky and went to bed feeling very jolly and comfort able indeed. In the morning men who had not taken any whisky got up all right; those who had taken little whisky got up feeling very unhappy; the men who had taken lot of whisky did not get up at all; they were sim ply frozen to death. "They had warmed" adds the professor, "the sur face of their bodies at the expense of their internal organs"

BEER DRlNKER AND HIS FAMILY.

Tt Is difficult to find q heavy beer drinker 40 years of age with d normal liver, kidneys or heart" says Dr. D. H. Kress. "These vital organs, from the excessive burden that is thrown upon them, wear out prematurely The beer drinker may have an abund- ance of flesh, but it is of inferior quality. Surgeons do not care to op- crate upon him, because the chances of recovery are minimized. Should the beer drinker be stricken down with pneumonia or some other febrile dis ease that taxes the heart and kidneys. he would have but three chances out of ten to make recovery"

The Republican National Committee.

Some men who supported Mr.. Hughes
and are disgruntled over his defeat are
making faces at Chairman Wilcox of
the republican national committee and
demanding that he call an early meet
ing of that body. Unless he does, as
they see matters, the republican party
will suffer heavily. Gone will be all
hope of electing a majority of the Sixty
sixth House, and greatly handicapped
will the party be for the campaign of
1920.
What action could the national COM
mittee take at this time which would
strengthen the party in anything any.

and if it were the committee could not

greatly fears that the old order is Civ
ing place to an inferior new order. He
is attached to the old order because for
half a century he has borne a conspieu-
Gus part in it. For him it is like saying
farewell to an old and beloved friend.
But what will he do if his forecast
is fulfled9 Either the republican or
the democratic party will win in 1920,
and he says it will not be the repub-
lican party. SO that when the time
comes, with the republicans ON one side
and the other side contains "all the

representing "all hypocrisies,' where

his day liked to be humbugged. Now
they dotc on humbug. The party that
succeeds in uniting all frauds, of com
bining all hypocrisies, of consolidating

cranks under single standard will carry
the election in 1920. But it will not be

many things one of the country's cheeri-
est and most entertaining optimists. He
is not young man, speaking after a
hurried glance at things, but a veteran,
who has fought in many battles, and ex-
poets to fight in many more. He is not
an obscure man, seeking notice by
means of an extreme expression, but one
of the country's most distinguished citi-
zens. And he is neither socialist, pro-
hibitionist, laborite nor republican, but
an old school democrat who has never
scratched his party's ticket but once in
his life-in 1896, when Mr. Bryan ran

and two in an effort TO go from one

by his courageous work of exploration,
and by the fidelity with which he has

The American People Offer Aid.

1t has been said that the American peo-
pie have a consuming passion for organi-
cation. They get together quickly and
easily into societies and associations.
They are so decidedly heterogeneous that
they organize upon the slightest pretext.
The result is that every town and city
has its societies and these societies are
associated with similar ones in other
cities and states and thus national organ
izations are formed. Some are fraternal,
some patriotic, some sociological some
industrial, some religious, some scien-
tifc, some merely social. All of them
have a useful function. in making the
people better acquainted, in enlarging
the field of individual usefulness, in
broadening the minds and applying
helpfully the energies of the members.
At such a juncture as the present,
with the country on the verge of a con
flict with a foreign power, these organi-
cations, with their membership of mil
lions, are of great value to the govern
ment. They form the centcrs of eiti-
zenship activity They are headed by
selected leaders, who command the re-
spect of the members, and who possess
presumably certain qualities as execu-
tives. The mechanism of great poten-
tial action is thus prepared for appli-
cation to the needs of the government in
its hour of need.
Already these organizations are dem
onstrating their usefulness. especially
among the women of the country. On
every hand are signs of activity in an
tieipation of the call to duty. Offers
of assistance are pouring upon the ad-
ministration. Preparations are making
for turning the organizations into help
full work, for nursing in the event of
hostilities, for supply furnishing, for
guard service, for numerous other ac-
tivities. The eoiled springs of popular
association are giving forth their stored
power.
Perhaps this great latent force has
not been sufficiently appreciated here
tofore or adequately measured. There
should be at this moment clearing
house for the various elements of helm
fitness that are being brought forward.
Confusion may result from too MANY
organizations working along the same
lines, overlapping in their action and
fields. In national crisis such as that
which now menaces the supreme need
is of organization at the top. to CO.
ordinate all the forces of the people,
who are after all the body and brains
and spirit. Whether the people act in
dividually or through their previously
formed societies and associations there
must be controlling guidance that is
superior to all other authorities.

Henry Ford, Pacifst and Patriot.

Henry Ford is pacifst. He abhors
war and advocates a system OF. inter
national adjustments that will avoid
conflict. About year and half ago
he headed delegation to Europe in the
hope of inducing the belligerents to lay
down their arms in order to "get the
troops out of the trenches by Christ
mas His errand was, of course, a com
plete failure. He made no impression
whatever upon the fighting powers, and
after series of unpleasant incidents in
neutral countries he returned to Amer
lea greatly disheartened. Since then he
has preached peace from time to time
the extent of failing his own country
in its time of crisis He has amply
manifested his patriotism in this june
ture by offering to the government his
entire motormaking plant at Detroit
one of the largest industrial establish
ments in the world, for the making of
munitions in the case of hostilities be-
tween this country and Germany. The
American people, who have had their
fun with Henry Ford and ridiculed him
in his well meant but hopeless endeavors
to stop the war, will unitedly applaud
his action and express the wish that all
pacifsts were as dependable in a ma
tional emergency.
