Alcohol

ALCOHOL is the plague of civilization.
\ 1t Is a deadly enemy of morality,
health and prosperity. 1t is the poison
which strikes deeply into the roots of per-
sonal life, home life, civic life and national
life. Alcohol is a race poison that blights
the lives Of unborn infants. 1t is a pltiless
scourge, the destructive effects of which
do not end with the drunkard. but are
passed on to the third and fourth genera

II Is known that alcohol is not stimu-
liant, but narcotic A pint of beer i'm
pairs intelligence and weakens the men,
ory. The most minute doses of alcohol
injure judgment and the reasoning faculty.
Alcohol lessons endurance. Experiments
upon animals and men have shown that
alcohol, even In small doses, lessons the
power to resist disease.
We fight germs with our blood corpusces.
A pint of champagne puts 20 per cent of
our blood cells out of commission. sta
tistics show that 20 per cent of the in
mates Of our asylums owe their insanity
directly to the use of alcohol. Alcohol is
a monster which claims its victims. not
once a year, but every day and every hour.
A continuous procession of men, women
and children is being momentarily sucked
into the NAV of this demon of destruction
The annual crop of lunatics, idiots. imse-
Giles and epileptics due to alcohol and allied
causes is growing faster than the progeny
of the sane and sound. We already have
an aristocracy Of lunatcs, idiots, imbe-
Giles and epileptics numbering more than
a million, supported at aSost of 500. 900. 900

has come when all intelligent men and
women who love humanity and who are con-
cerned about the future welfare of the race
are fighting this enemy of humanity.

Your Little Girl

For the very small girl whose hair is
cropped straight across the back ribbon

front locks. This may be arranged at
either side or directly on the top of the
head and is most becoming and comfortable
for the child. one bow is more fashionable
than two for the hair, and, as a rule, better
suited for the baby face.
Braids are almost a necessity for the
older girl not because they are SO easily

HARRY K. THAW CUTS
WRIST AND THROAT
Slayer of Stanford White
Tries to Kill Self When De-
tectives Locate Him.
HE is TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

Philadelphia, Jan. Hilary X.
Thaw, wanted by the New York au-
thorities on charges of kidnapping and
assaulting Kansas City boy, was
found in an apartment house at
Fifty-third and Walnut streets, West
Philadelphia, by the police today,
with his wrists and throat cut. He
was taken to St. Mary's hospital in
the northeastern section of the city
and his condition is said to be seri-
GUS There were conflicting reports
as to how serious his condition is.
According to Captain Tate, Thaw's
whereabouts were learned early to-
day and the house was surrounded.
When detectives entered the place,
according to Tate, they found that
Thaw had cut his wrists and throat,
Thaw, Tate says, asked that DR..
Elwood Kirby, well known physi-
clan of this city, be sent for, When
the doctor arrived he ordered Thaw
be removed to St. Mary's hospital,
where DR.. Kirby is head physician.
St Mary's hospital is in the extreme
northeastern part of the city, several
miles from the house where he was
found
Captain Tate latter said he had
been informed that Thaw was cx-
pectcd to die. What Thaw cut him
self with, Tate said, he did not know.
House in West Philadelphia.
The house where Thaw was found
is within short distance from the
street where Thaw was in II automo-
bile accident last May. 1t was
damage suit instituted against his
mother, the owner of the machine,
that brought Thaw here last Monday
to defend the action.
How the detectives learned that
Thaw was in West Philadelphia they
do not say When they were asked
by the New York authorities TO ap-
prchend him on a warrant charging
him with assaulting Frederick Gump,
jr, OF Kansas City, they made a
search and were convinced that he
had left the city
Lieutenant Scanlon of the detective
bureau said that Thaw was found in
the house shortly before , o'clock.
Scanon said that he had learned that
while Thaw is unconscious he is ex-
pcctcd to live.
Surprise was expressed that Thaw
should be taken so far away when
there were nearly dozen hospitals
nearer the West Philadelphia house
where he was found.
Detective headquarters were not ad-
viscd i'll their early reports whether
Thaw was taken to the hospital in an
