ARGUMENT FOR PROHIBITION

A powerful argument for prohibition is con-
tained in the responses to thousands of letters
sent to physicians asking their opinion OF alcoho-
lie liquors as family remedies for faintlng, weak
ness old age. etc.; of theus of beer and wine to
give strength to people who are rundown; of
the use of beer for nursing mothers; offs alcohol
as food: of alcohol as food to the heart muscles
as taught by some of its use in the treatment of
pneumonia and other infectious diseases; and
whether they accepted the findings OF the Nutri-
ton Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution that
alcohol is depressant of bodily functions feven
in very small doses.
All but two disapproved of the family use of
alcoholic liquors, and those two were altogether
pro-alcohol. All but one disapproved of beer and
wine to give strength to persons rundown. say
ing there is nothing in these drinks to strengthen
las athletes have proved. Opinions varied as
to the food qualities of alcohol but even the food
advocates declared the evil effects of alcohol
overbalanced any food value it might have
Nearly all accepted the findings of Dodge and
Benedict, of the Nutrition Laboratory. that
alcohol is depressant even in small doses, al
though many qualified this by calling it a pri-
mary stimulant, which Dodge and Benedict dis
allow The great majority were opposed to
alcohol in the treatment of pneumonia and
typhoid fever.
Until few years ago the medical profession
quite generally endorsed the use of alcoholic
liquors in the treatment of certain ailments and
it has been one of the strongest remaining props
of the wet interests. Now that the doctors are
on record against intoxcants for what would be
their one redeeming use, Medical purposes"
the doom of liquor is more certain than ever
before.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY is MAKING GOOD

There has been rumors regarding aircraft at
fairs of curtailed output of failure of the Liberty
motor, of fabulous profits being made and of
every possible disaster and phenomenal success
one might imagine.
As to aircraft affairs, Ray Sherman editor of
Motor World, says: eve have been somewhat
misled by over-optimistic statements year ago.
There may have been delays in the rapidly put
together industrial machine that was to turn out
aircraft, but when one gets down to the facts one
finds that Liberty motor is success and not
failure and that the aircraft production is far
ther along thanit was believed that America
could be at this time.
Zone thing should be remembered in connec-
tion with American industry: Americas big
millions of dollars and weeks of time are spent
in toolng up and getting ready, but her
plants get ready, they in position to turn out
things at a rate of which Europe never dreamed.
"Some of the delay in aircraft production may
be due to incompetence and confusion because of
the speed necessary, but much of it is due to
tooling up and could not have been avoided with
the most efficient organization
1.-THE Liberty motor" said AL Reeves, execu-
tive secretary of the Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, at the dealers meeting here, "is adj
mitted by France, England and Italy to be the
most perfect and wonderful motor ever produced.
1t is the work of the best engineers in this
country and they are building airplanes now with
three of these motors in them which will carry
the message to Berlin we have for so long wanted
to send.''
Howard E. Coffin, former head of the Aircraft
Construction board, recently stated that in Eng
land, after over three years of war; in plant
where over 10000 men are employed, but so en-
gines per week and having 30 horsepower less
than our Liberty motors, are being built, while
in this country, within 120 days several plants
will be turning out from so to 100 motors per
day.
With these facts known it becomes more con-
vincing that American industry is going long
way toward winning the war.

SAVING WHITE PAPER

The Tampa Tribune believes the war indus
tries board has made serious error in recon-
mending the elimination of exchanges between
newspapers, in its effort to curtail white paper
consumption. But the majority of newspapers
will welcome the new ruling. In fact, most
Instead, they subscribe to the papers which
they wish to receive and make a cost-prce SUBJ
scrietion rate TO the smaller country papers.
Under this plan the exchange editor is spared
The necessity of handling vast numbers of papers
in which he has interest, mail congestion is
relieved and tons of white paper is saved.
One Of the greatest evils of the newspaper
publishing business has been the exchange
policy 1t was recently found that small
country weekly which was continuously losing
money was sending more than ten per cent of its
total circulation to other newspapers as ex-
changes and less than twenty-five per cent of its
circulation was q paid-in-advance basis.
Elimination of all unpaid and slow-pay copies
placed that paper on the right side of the ledger
though the operation did hurt the editors pride
through temporarily cutting his volume of Cir
culation.
Instead of making mistake, the war indem-
rites board has rendered a most valuable service
to every one of the few remaining newspapers
which maintained to old-time courtesies of ex
change Their profits will be greater and their
business will be placed on more stable basis
The Tribune, however, is right when it saws:
I'VE suggest that there is more good white
paper, of far more expensive grade, wasted every
day by being sent out from some of the .infor
nation bureaus than all the exchanges are
worth
We received in our mail this morning thirty
seven letters of free publicity kind alone, and
practically every one of them 'purported' to be
relative TO winning the war. OF this class we
VIII use, perhaps per cent today and tomorrow
and the other 90 per cent is good white naner
wasted, to say nothing of the time it takes to get
That stuff out, and the root it takes in the
already over burdened mails
We are not captious or unreasonable: but we
believe we voice the sentiment of the entire
press when we say that we would like TO see the
same careful using of paper shown elsewhere
that the newspapers of the country have been
showing for the past year.
The paper situation is becoming more acuta
eacn week. Reserve supplies are dwindlinp and
consumption is increasing
