Dance Halls Give
Prizes to Girls
for Selling Beer
President of Chicago Juvenile Pro.
tective Association Says Liquor
Ruins Thousands of Girls

Liquor selling dance halls are
breeding dens of immortality" said
Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen in an address
to the Chicago Women's Club last
Monday. She based her assertion
upon survey of more than 200 dance
halls recently made by investigators
of the Juvenile Protective Associa-
ton.

Mrs. Bowen, Liquor is furnished free

Gently until about II o'clock, and
then, under the influence of drink, the
dances become indecent, suggestive
and demoralizing.
"At one hall, there was prize of
500 every month for the girl who
had the greatest number of drink
checks to her credit. Under the in
fuenec of drink, girls who otherwise
would be self-respecting, permit in
denities. In one hall alone, More
than so girls were seen sitting on the
laps of men.
NEARLY all these liquor selling
dance halls are controlled by the Chi
cago Brewers Association. Very lit

and almost the sole drink being beer"

Alcohol and Human Efficiency

No one who wishes to be thor
oughly informed on the drink ques-
ton should fail to read the article by
DIR. Eugene Lyman Fisk, director of
the Life Extension Institute of New
York of which ex-President Taft is
president, under the above caption, in
the Atlantic Monthly for February.
We give below few excerpts:
IN. preceding article, we sought
to establish from reliable data the
fact that upon the mind and body
alike alcohol, even in small regular
doses, must exercise depressing and
degenerative effect. Let us now in
qiire to what extent the experiments
in tie Nutrition Laboratory confirm
these findings, and whether or Tot
any new evidence, either FOR or
against alcohol, has been elected by
the latest methods OF research with
all the formidable armamentarium of
the modern psychological laboratory"
The Key That Unlocks the Door of
Disease
"If we wipe off the slate all pre-
vious evidence of the unfavorable
effect of moderate doses of alcohol
on the human organism, and consider
solely this preliminary study of its
effects on certain important bodily
processes that have to do with safe
guarding life, what differences may we
draw from these remarkable expert
ments, so carefully checked and con-
trolled, as to the total effect of mod
crate indulgence in alcohol on large
masses of men? Is there scintilla
of evidence to support the view that
such effect is negative, let alone con-
sentative or beneficial?
Surely not. On the contrary, if
we knew nothing of life insurance
statistics and were asked to consider
alcohol as a newly-discovered drug,
these experiments would amply JUS
tify the belief that the more or less
steady use of the very moderate doses
employed in the tests would place the
human organism at a disadvantage in
the struggle for existence, entirely
apart from the well-recognized danger
Of increasing indulgence, and expos
ure to manifold destructive agencies.
"If alcohol is the key that unlocks
the door to the chamber of disease,
degeneration and life failure, we must
hold it solely responsible for the re-
suits that follow its use. The only
safe course is not to use the key.

ALCOHOL IS ALCOHOL
By DIR. Eugene I. Fisk in the
Atlantic

Furthermore, alcohol is alco-
hol, either in whisky or beer. !
1t is nonsense to claim that
beer is a liygienic drink. 1t is
drunk chiefly for it's alcoholic
effect, and if the alcoholic eff
feet is produced, the danger of
alcohol exists. Anyone who
doubts thar beer can produce a
certain form of intoxication
need only visit the saloon and
watch the beer-drinker in va
rious stages of befuddlement
or excitement. If beer does
not 1ntoXicate or produce any
alcoholic effect, what becomes
of the racial craving for slim
ulants" which it is said to sat
ISL! Furthermore, heavy beer
drinking, as in the case of
brewery employees, adds the
danger of excessive fluid intake,
entirely apart from alcohol.
The heavy mortality of brew
cry employees is sufficient evil
dence that beer, so far as its
effect on masses of men is con-
cerned, is not a hygienic drink.

Old Rundon1's Rule
BY E. F. Collier

By E. +. Collier
On a certain plain in wide domain,
In the rakish realms of Rumdom,
Lived bad King Bold whose regions
rolled
To the border lines of Bumdom
On the upper side of his kingdom
wide
Dwell a nation, naive yet noble,
But the region west was restless
nest
OF turmoil, tombs and trouble
Of pirate mold was old King Bold,
He laughed at Bumdom's sorrow
"Fill up your graves" he said, with
slaves,
I'll send you more tomorrow"
With ghoulish guile, and motives vie,
He lured that wareless nation,
And dragged their souls across his
knobs
To Bumdom's degradation.
But one just day fate had its way
To foil the foul decciver;
Across the span of Rumdom's ban
They met, Bum and Believer.
And there they vowed, with venge-
ance loud,
To squelch that middle demon,
Then went their way to man the fray
Tween tyrant foes and freemen.
With fearsome might they pressed
the fight
In valance little wonder
They got King Bold, and broke his
hold
And Rumdom's rule asunder.
They made a grave for that old
knave
With this inscription on it:
