The following story taken verbatim
from the Danville Commentaries
shows what sort of strategy the liq-
uor traffic resorts to i'll order to de-
feat the will of the people.
Their backs against the wall, add
vocates of an open town made a
final desperate effort Saturday morn
ing to disqualify scores of dry voters
OF the city. But the move failed in
the making and served only to arouse
dry voters, who have heretofore
been only lukewarm, into real ac-
tivity. 1t is asserted on every hand
that the wet movement will most
certainly act as a boomerang.
Sought to Disqualify
'The open town gang sought to
disqualify all of those persons who
signed the independent petitions Of
Captain F. Winter and Charles Elem
ing last spring. Captain Winter was
a candidate for Alderman, nominated
and elected from the seventh ward
Charles Fleming was candidate for
Alderman, nominated and elected
from the second ward
Bold Stroke Attempted
"These two wards arc the banner
dry wards of the city. The gang
asserted to be hopelessly struggling
in the bitches of their last defenscs,
determined on bold stroke. almost
hopeless, but which, if they could
put it across, would weaken, materi-
ally, the drys in their strong wards
1t was pointed out that they had
nothing to lose and everything to
gain.

velop acidosis. The patients in this
small group are being given small
daily doses OF alcohol to piece out
their food intake
IT has been abundartly proven that
the ordinary man cannot use alcohol
advantage as food. 1t makes
heat for the body, but at the same
time it causes the body TO waste heat.
The loss exceeds the gain. This has
been the experience of Arctic ex-
plorers.
!, The scientific studies that have
been made in Germany, England and
France, and the United States have
all proven that alcohol is not slim
ulant--that it is drug having dele
ferrous effects on the taker and on
his progeny; that it produces certain
diseases and contributes to others;
that it decreases the accuracy and
working efficiency of the human
mind; and that no mental process is
as we'll carried out under alcohol as
without it.
Not Needed as Medicine
The professors of curative medicine
are overwhelmingly against the use
of alcohol. A conservative statement
OF their views is to be found in the
final paragraph of an editorial COM
ment in the Journal of the American
Medical association on the debate
between Sir Victor Horsley and Karl
Pearson. In this discussion Sir Vic
tor Horsley argued against alcohol
The Journal of the American Medical
association is of the opinion that Sir
Victor Horsley's presentation of the
case contains demonstrate facts that
will require something more than
personal attacks and general state
ments of denial to rcfute.
On January 26 the Brown-K ewau-
nee (Wisconsin) County Medical So
ciety passed the following: Resolved,
That it is the sense of the Brown
Kcwaunec County Medical society
that the internal administration of al
coholic beverages be condemned as
harmful in the treatment of disease"
Rejected by U. S. Health Service
The profession of preventive medi-
cine are on record still more strongly.
| The United States public health SER
vice says in Health News for Feb
ruary %, 1916:
"The United States public health
service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t
declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden of the disease which produces
no per cent of the deaths in the
United States. This is no exaggera-
ton. We have known for long time
that indulgence in alcoholic liquors
lowers the individual vitality and thSt
the man who drinks is peculiarly sus-
ceptible to pneumonia.
1.-THE United States public health
service is conservative body. 1t
does not engage in alarmist propa-
ganda. In following out the line of
its official duties it has brought force
fully to the general public fact which
will bear endless repetition. The
liberal and continuous user of alco-
holc drinks will do we'll to heed this
warning"
Such is typical expression from
health agent of the general govern
ment. DR.. Fiske, speaking as rep
resentative medical director of an IN
surance company, concludes pamph-
let in which he showed the higher
death rates among drinkers with this
question: Why not take the safest
side in this controversy and refuse to
experiment on your own body with
that destructive narcotic alcohol

WHY DO THEY FEAR TIP

WHY DO THEY FEAR TIP
The liquor interests of Hi
nois are afraid of the people.
Their every action shows 1t.
Before the Legislature of Hi
nois there is pending a PROPOSE
ton to submit the prohibiting OF
the liquor traffic to vote of the
, people. The Senate passed the
bill. 1t is before the House.
The vets boast they are going
to defeat it. They claim to have
the votes. But why defeat it2
Why should not the people
have an opportunity to express
their will on the proposition
Where is the justice of the crea-
ture of the people, denying the
people the right of expressing
convictions?
The question of Prohibition
is not before the Illinois House.
The question of submitting the :
matter to the people is upper
most. The vets are denying
the people that right. 1t shows
the arrant insolence of the bust
ness.
It further demonstrates the
cowardice of the vets. They :
do not want the people to vote.
They keep the people from vot-
ing. They do not like the peo-
pie. Their very timidity is sig
nihcant.
They think by preventing a
vote they will give the business
a longer lease of life.
The people must see to it that
representatives are elected who
are not afraid OF them.-Gales-
burg Register.

Hot Indictment
Against Alcohol
Former Health Commissioner of Chi.
cago Calls 1t Neither Rood Nor
Medicine
CLASSED WITH POISONS
DR.. w. A. Evans in Chicago Tribune.

The medical profession has been
charged with being in favor of the
use of alcoholic beverages. The
charge cannot be sustained. Alcohol
for internal use rarely is prescribed
by physicians except when such pre-
scribing is done for the purpose of
evading some law.
Theoretically, alcohol is both a
medicine and food. So far as all
practical purposes are concerned. it is
neither a medicine nor food. Dis
cussing it as medicine, alcohol be-
longs in group in which there are
tropin, aconite, and extracts OF thy
roid. These medicines are so power
full that they are but rarely used.
Physicians know so little about the
mechanism of the sympathetic ner-
vous system, on which most of the
effects of these remedies are exertcd,
that none of them is liable to be gen.
orally used within the next few years.
In the meanwhile the old time uses
VI diNOIOi hoi ihSoiNiidi pun PcoS9
have either been discontinued or else
they are condemned by the medical
!. profession.
Bad for Consumption
Alcohol once was used for con-
sumption. 1t is not used as cure
for this disease now. 1t once was
used as remedy for blood poisoning
-scpticemia and pysemia. 1t now is
known that its use lessons the chance
of recovery from these diseases. 1t
once was used as a cure for colds and
bronchitis and as preventive of
pneumonia. 1t now is known that it
makes colds worse and it increases
the chance of pneumonia.
1t formerly was used as cure for
snake bite. 1t is not SO used now. 1t
decreases the bodily resistance to
snake bite. The only good it ever
did was to destroy the awful fear
which sometimes shocks persons who
have been bitten and in that way in
directly contributes to cure.
When its use as a cure for snake
bite fell into disuse some fishermen
tanked lip on the theory that it might
serve as preventive of snake bite. A
correspondent wrote me from Arkan-
sas that he tried that plan and got
blind drunk. A snake bit him, liked
the taste of alcohol, and bit him
again; therefore he knew that alcohol
induced rather than prevented snake
bite. cannot say this story is true.
Not Food
Discussing alcohol as food, the
body burns alcohol to make heat 1t
can, therefore, replace some starch
and sugar in the dietary. If the need
of heat is supplied by alcohol, some
of the other food substances, such as
meat fat, starches and sweets which
ordinarily would be burned to form
heat can be used to build tissue, to
store as fat. or to produce energy. In
fact, just such use of alcohol is made
in the treatment of a small group of
diabetes.
There arc certain diabetes who
cannot take enough starchcs and
sugars TO sustain them because OF
'thcir diseased panereascs. who can
