The summer of 1916 was exception
ally hot over much of the United
States. Let us hope that the summer
OF 1918 will not be of the same type.
But, however cool it may be, there
will be some cases of sunstroke, and
now is good time TO learn about it.
In July, 1910, ls2 patients suffering
from sunstroke were admitted to the
Cook County Hospital Dr. Gauss
and DR.. Meyer report the results Of
investigation OF these cases. Seventy
OF them died, and many, unconscious
when they entered the hospital, passed
away without reganing consciousness.
Those who rcgained mental clearness
were questioned. The friends of those
who failed to regain consciousness
were asked for all the information they
could supply.
The outstanding fact is that prac-
tically all OF the persons affected were
drinkers. The investigators found
most of the patients gave history OF
alcoholism A close study of the al

Churches Of Christ
Endorse Ratification

We hail with delight the growth of
world sentiment with regard to the
liquor traffic, and commend the Con-
gress of the United States in submit
ting to the several states the federal
amendment for the Prohibition of the
traffic: and in the face of the world
crisis and the worlds need of food,
that we urge upon Congress and the
President of the United States to en-
act such legislation as will give to us
the Prohibition of the liquor traffic
during the period of the war.
Moreover we rejoice that eleven
states have already adopted the fed
eral amendment for National Prohibi-
ton. And we take courage in the fact
that not single state where the ques-
ton OF the adoption of this amend
ment has come before Legislature in
session where it could be voted upon,
have they failed in adoption.
That since Illinois is one of the piv-
otal states, we urge upon every voter
who is member of our church in this
district not to fail to be at the pri-
mary on September 18th and to exert
every influence to have every other
voter present and forgetting party.
that they vote only for such candi-
dates for the Senate and House of
Representative who arc openly in
favor OF Illinois ratification of tho
Federal amendment.
The above resolution was adopted
at Watseka, ILL.,. May II, 1918, by the
representatives OF the Churches of
Christ (Disciples) in the Northeastern
District including 104 churches with
more than $4,000 members.

BEER STROKE ALIAS HEAT STROKE

coholic history OF twenty-five shows
that all except two of the patients
drank beer in the twenty-four hours
preceding the attack, the amount vary
ing from several glasses to one gallon.
The record shows numerous entries
Of eight bottles six bottles five
bottles six glasses" five glasses"
The report of average daily consump-
ton shows that one patient did not
drink. One used fifteen to twenty
glasses day; one, five to twenty
glasses a day; one, five to ten glasses,
and others. smaller quantities.
The report says Of those patients
who did not recover consciousness
while information is often indefinite,
judging from the strong alcoholic
breath OF many of them. it is evident
that they, too, had been drinking
freely"
If sunstroke, heat stroke, and heat
cramps are to be avoided, keep away
from beer-Dr. William A. Evans in

able suspicion for completely should
be cleared, while those Justly charged
should be punished, is the demand OF
the Richmond Nirginian The Vir-
gnian has this to say under the head
of Let in the Light Mr.. Mayor"
1t is to be hoped that Mayor
Ainslie will make the statement
conditionally promised in regard
to the reports OF the close con-
nection between certain members
of the police department and the
business OF bootlcgging, about
which sworn statements are in his
possession.
Innocent men are entitled to
have their records set clear at the
earliest possible moment. The
guilty should not be allowed to
remain on the force-and their
removal should be prompt.
The gravity of the charges
lodged with the Mayor is so great
that he is entitled to make a full
investigation. There is no reason
why he should not be able to ar
rive at the facts, and that soon,
for some of the allegations have
been before him for weeks.
When he does ascertain the
facts-somethng which he cannot
afford to be dilatory about, be-
cause it affects his own record as
the responsible head of the police
department = he III GU d act
promptly and decsively, in justice
to guilty and innocent alike, as

lo17and for the year 1918
The saloons went out here the
night of May ?. The police record
for this city for the present year,
1918, commencing and including May
4 to May Is, shows that in that time
three arrests have been made under
the clause of the city ordinance known
as "15-42' which means drunk and
disorderly.
For 1917, year ago from May 4-2o,
inclusive, the record shows there were
25' arrests. From May to May a..
1917, there were more arrests OF DRINKS
than for the entire period of the three
weeks accounted for in 1918.
AS a matter of fact, the DRINKS
in town have decreased approximately
90 per cent of what they were a year
ago. In other words, III 1917 for the
corresponding three weeks, there were
nearly 10 times as many arrests for
drunkenness as this year.--Lincoln

Records Show Fewer Men Are

At luncheon of Detroit business
men held in Hotel Statler of that city,
May 10, reports were given of Prohi-
bition's benefits upon business as no
ticcd by these business men since, the
Prohibition law went into effect in
Michigan. The call to this luncheon
was signed by Messrs. s. S. Kresge,

land and R. H. Weber. The speak
ers included DR.. NJ. S. Rice, Henry NJ,
Leland, Senator Condin, Mr.. James
Schermerhorn of the Detroit Times
and Governor Sleeper.
Every speaker called attention to
the remarkable conditions shown
throughout the state since the dry
law went into effect. The figures
given out by the Ford Motor Com
pany were especially interesting.
Company officials declare that only
beneficial results have been noticed
in their plant since May l.. On the
last Monday in April, 2,620 men were
absent from work because of Sat
urday night drinking. On the first
Monday in May, only LOIS were abb
sent and on the second Monday the
number had dropped to 1850. This
shows a decrease of over one thou
sand men absent from work after the
Saloons closed ON May /.

Sacramento Wine
Permitted in Okla.
By Court Decision

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma
last week reversed the decision of the
lower court which held that the Pro-
hibition law applied to Intoxicating
liquors shipped into the state for sac
ramental purposes.
The decision is in accord with the
original purpose of the Prohibition
law and sets at rest the claim of the
liquor dealers that the Anti-Saloon
League is trying to interfere with the
use of wines for sacramento pur-
poses.
The opinion was concurred in by all
the judges sitting in the case, eight
in number.
