MODERATE DRINKING.

The degeneration due to the so
called moderate" consumption of al
cohOl is very similar to senile decay,
in the opinion of Prof. G. Sims Wood
head, NJ. A., NJ. D., r. R. G. p, F. II. s.
E., Of England.
"Alcoholic degeneration, however" :"
Professor Woodhead points out, ''does
not proceed equally in every part Of
the body. The weaker tissues are first
attacked and the patient gives way at
the weak link of the chain.
"Alcohol calls upon the reserve
strength which ought to be held like a
balance at the bank to meet sudden
and unexpected emergencies. If you
have such physical reserve, you are
able to tide over emergencies and
wear out gradually, but If you let al-
cohol withdraw your balance, exhaust
ing your reserve, you may become a
physical bankrupt at any moment"

MORE AND BETTER.


The argument that the workingman
will lose his job If the liquor traffic is
abolished is based upon the absurd
proposition that, If the liquor dealer
fails to get the money now spent for
beer and whisky, nobody else will get
It.
It is assumed that the farmer who
now sells his grain and grapes, his
apples and cherries, to the liquor in
terests will be compelled to destroy
them; when the fact is that figures
furnished by the United States gov
ernment clearly indicate that the
ability Of the American farmer to raise
enough grain to adequately supply this
country is gradually decreasing. To
listen to the defender of the saloon,
one would think that nobody likes
grapes and cherries and apples, unless
they come in form of booze. There
are millions of youngsters who would
be delighted to have at least one
chance to eat all the fruit they really
need.-Charles Stelzle, Member of
NIachinists' Union, and Secretary of
Church and Labor Department of Pres

PERSONAL RIGHTS
Conducted by the National woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

Replying to the personal liberty
argument of the vets, Clinton N. How
ard. who is characterized as one of
the bomb-throwers in the prohibition
ranks, puts 1t this way:
You have personal right to eat
putrid meat; / have no right to sell
it. II your hog dies a natural death,
or with the cholera, you have per-
sonal right to grind 1t up into sausage
and eat it; but you have no right to
offer it for public sale. A man has a
personal right to corn his dead mule
and serve it on his own table. You
have as good right to eat your cat
as I have my chicken, or your dog
as I have my pig. The Chinese In
New York have a dog feast at their
New Years celebration and the police
have never interfered with their per-
sonal right. But II you opened meat
market and skinned dogs and cats and
exposed horse sausage for public sale
the meat inspector would confiscate
the entire supply, close up the place as
a public nuisance and arrest you for
selling what you had a personal right
to eat.
1--WE have law against the sale Of
impure literature. We do not say that
man shall not read 1t, even though
that may harm him; because it is his
personal right to damage his own char
acter and corrupt his own mind; but
If he opens shop for the dissemina-
ton and sale of such literature to
corrupt the youth of the community,
society steps in and interferes-
with his personal liberty to read what
he likes, but with his social right to
sell that which corrupts public morals.
Under this law tons of impure litera-
ture, licentious post cards and immoral
books are seized and destroyed every
year, without compensation to their
owners; indeed, they are prosecuted
and fined or Jailed for the offense
against public morality and decency.
That is prohibition"

cording to the recollections Of one OF
the founders of the town, which have
recently been presented to the Wis
consin Historical society, the first set

of the settlers was held to select a
better name for the future city. Sew.

this to "Beloit," which was considered

TO ALLEN STEVEN.-I read your
letter to James Steele, Jr., and have
come to the conclusion that you are
either an atheist or a man who says
things just to cause argument. Any
man who sincerely believes the world
would be better off or could even ex-
list without the thousands of Gods
own good men is cracked in the up
per story.
Now, come off, Steven, and quit
your kidding. I have read many of
your letters in The Day Book and
other papers and have not found one
argument that is worth considering
by an intelligent person. In my opin-
ion, you would do the world a great
deal more good if you would shovel
coal more and write less.
So, cheer up, pail and get on the
right side of the fence. The white

WHY PRAISE FIELD IIl?-I am
enclosing some clippings from Trib-
une regarding the enlistment of Mar
shall Field Ill, which lauded him to
the skies. Marshall Field I. is en-
titled to all the credit given him. He
worked up the business which bears
his name.
When he lived some of the profits
were distributed among some Of his
employees. His will, however, only
left a measly 100000 for their
share. have been informed that be-
fore he died he was arranging to
make another which would be a more
liberal allowance.
Marshall Field IL spent about a

and spent the rest of his time dash

hero who is now enlisting, to the
best of my knowledge, has not even

than two of three times, and l, as an
employee for the last 25 years, have
never seen him.
You will remember before he was
married he was going to live in Chi
cago and get in and work at the
place which kept him in society all
his life and his father before them
without either of them turning a
hand. A fiat was rented by him at
$4,000 a year in advance without
anyone occupying it. When he was
married he and his wife did not like
the idea of living in the west, so they
went to the east.
What chances is he taking that
any Tom, Dick or Harry does not
take? He does not worry about liv-
ing. Should he be among the dead

Although he is enlisted as a private,
do you suppose that he will be with
the other boys in the trenches? Not
on your life, for before he gets a
chance to get his uniform on he will
be advanced to some higher grade.
He viii be able to boss others with
out taking any risk himself. Most Of
the men are taking chances and are
doubtful about their jobs when they
return.
You have probably heard of the
teacher at EnglewOod high school
who was considered a traitor because
he advocated the cOnfscating of in
comes over 100000 per year. It is
my opinion that those who cannot
live on that amount shall starve.
There are few firms outside the mu-
milton plants that have made the mo-
ney Marshall Field has during the
war. They contract for everything
possible in advance at the lowest
price and unless their customers
have made contracts for theirs they
naturally have to pay a high price.
The road men are instructed not to
urge the customers, for the custom
ers will then have to get the goods
later on at higher price. More
