 The newspapers, the despatch con- tinued. have a combined circulation of 10, ,000 readers who beseech you not to deal with autocratic govern ments whose sole purpose 1t is to de- stroy, civilization as we know it.

Increasing Trench Miseries'
By DR.. j.. H. Kellogg.

Half the newspapers of the coun-
try and thousands of deluded moth
ers have Joined hands in helping the
American tobacco trust to conduct an
enormous sampling campaign, and to
fairly smother the American army
with tobacco smoke.
The prepared copy which docile
newspapers are publishing offers the
most silly reasons for sending the
soldiers cigarettes. "Soothe the poor
suffering soldiers in the trenches" is
the pathetic wall of the tobacco trust
one of the most useless and destruct-
i've of business organizations, rivaled
only by the whisky ring"
Try to imagine the board of direc-
tors of the tobacco trust sitting
around in their smoke filled Office
putting cigarettes and wiping their
weeping eyes with tobacco leaves be-
cause of their sympathy for the poor
American soldiers suffering in the
trenches.
This hypocritical blubbering is
worse than tommy rot,"' whatever
that may be.
The air of the trenches and dug
outs is bad enough without being con-
taminated with tobacco smoke, or
any other smoke,-there's none worse
than tobacco smoke.
Do they need "soothing?" Many a
baby has been soothed into its long
sleep by Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Sy-
rup.
It's a fine "soother," and the Gig
arctic is another.
Tobacco is a narcotic. The soldier
needs the stimulus of good food and
of fresh air and warmth and the full
possession of all his faculties, and
the command of his maximum eff
cheney. He doesn't need soothing"
The soldiers training has for its
purpose to prepare him for a supreme
effort in behalf of his country. It is
to make him ready to exert at any
moment all his carefully cultured
strength and skill to meet the assault
of the enemy.
To "soothe" the soldier is to unfit
him for his task, to undo the work
accomplished by his long and ardu-
Gus training.
"But the surgeon administers
soothers to mitigate the %sufferings
of his patient" said a college profess
sor, "why not have the same consid-
Grafton for the soldier?" That's true,
professor we give anaesthetics to our
patients but not to the surgeon!

Why Breweries and Saloons in
the United States Should Be
Closed During the World
War.

The use of alcoholic drinks is one
of the greatest forces today, working
for the decentralization of mankind. 1t
destroys home life; corrupts society,
and weakens our race mentally, ply
sically and morally. Strong men are
changed by it's effects into nervous
wrecks, their brains poisoned and fill
ed with fantastic delusions and stupid
theories. Countless crimes have been
committed by people under the infu-
ence of liquor. We put to death last
year a great number of inebriates.
They were dealt with, of course, not
because they were drunkards, but
because they had committed capital
crimes; yet it is certain that with
most of them the cause was due to
King Alcohol.
If alcohol weakens the strength of
the people and lowers their morals,
it will be the main factor in the
wrecking Of our country. The power
and sovereignty of America is up
held and maintained by the individ-
ual purity of her citizens. This is the
essence of democracy. We r not
worthy to enjoy its privileges unless
we be in deed and in truth real DEM
ocrats, willing to sacrifice these base
appetites, that our land may be made
safe for democracy by national tenn
perance.
Our men, side by side with the SOL
diers of France and England are
fighting for the freedom of the world
against the military domination of
Germany. They must win! And the
sooner it is won the better. Every
one must do his share in the accom-
plishment of this great task. The
responsibility rests as heavy upon
us at home as upon the soldier at
the front. We must work and endure
hardships like true soldiers of dem
ocracy, putting to profitable use ev-
erything available, and abolishing the
useless waste of saloons and brewer
les. Every gallon of liquor that is
made and sold to our men just plac-
es victory that much further off.
It is true that food will help win
the war, and that food conservation
is necessary; but all this will be for
naught if we allow our people to
make intoxicants out of the precious
grain and cereals which the soldiers
need at the front. ga pound of wheat
will do as much to win the war as
a pound of explosives" but a gallon
of liquor will do more towards losing
war than five pounds CT explosives

Suppose a soldier in the trenches
happens to get out of cigarettes just
before an assault by the enemy. He
is already half defeated by his after
smoking misery.
If we make cigarette iends out
of all of our soldiers the situation
may become such that just before an
attack the commanding officer will
have to issue an order for all hands
to smoke up so as to get steady
nerves to shoot straight.
The cigarette does the soldier no
good. 1t does him harm.
1t does not lessen his miseries, 1t
adds to them.
The smoker is miserable all the
time unless he smokes. The non
smoker is not bothered with cigars,
he knows nothing of cigarette miser-
les, he has better mind, better resist
ance to disease, a stronger heart,
sharper eyesight, steadier nerves, a
surer aim and is able to endure the
hardships of the trench without the
aid of "soothers" which impair every
ability which the good soldier needs
to make him a valuable defender of
his cause.

which they should lend to the gov

which they Snoulu lenu W Cne CIV
eminent.
The greater evil of drinking whis-
key is brought on by first drinking
beer. After becoming a victim OF the
beer saloons, a craving for a strong
er drink takes it's hold on the poor
wretch until finally he is a typical
drunkard, going on the downward
path to ruin and an early grave.
But the real evil of alcohol is not
that it kills its victims, but that they
drag down others with them. If its
effects could be confined to its VIC
tins it would rid the world of useless
people and the race would be i'm
proved. But this it does not do, and
it is therefore a menace to all.
Many of the people who are not
advocates of temperance say that If
breweries and saloons r closed 1T
will be an abridgment upon the lib
critics that we enjoy" Evidently this
class of people has forgotten that
these liberties are maintained by the
strength of our people; that we could
not enjoy this blessed freedom long
unless Germany is conquered Are
they not willing to sacrifice some
thing to bring this about as soon
as possible?
We forget that everything IN this
discussion is duty and sacrifice-for
the sake of our country-that we
should be ready to give up our rights
when the well-being of mankind as
a whole is concerned. The mar who
insists that his personal liberty gives
him the right to drink liquor and sup
port saloons, is asking thousands OF
people to suffer and sacrifice more
because the saloon is licensed, than
he would suffer if it were closed.

,. .,,vnv.y OF IuIly developed
in that nation and their large con-
sumption of alcoholic liquors.
The notion is more than a mere
fancy. A writer has recently stated
that "the brains of the so-called mid
die class German is normally so be-
logged with beer that his mental pro
cesses are sluggish and difficult" Can
the finer class escape coarsening I'M
der constant alcoholic influence?
That is the influence that has hard
ened and brutalized the brains that
have conceived and the lesser brains
that have executed the horrors of
the Hun in this war.
King Alcohol has many things to
answer for. In order to condemn
him it is necessary that he be given
the responsibility of the great con-
fict, but for many of its horrors he
must be held responsible. l dare say
that the absence of drink in Germa-
ny and in the other nations would
have gone far toward humanizing
the war.
Russia, however, saw the democrat
izing effects of liquor and adopted
prohibition when she started in this
war. Russia's leaders knew that the
efficiency of her soldiers would be
decreased unless this step was taken.
Can Americas people not see this?
Do they not realize that unless dras-
tic measures are adopted her men
also will become degenerates?
If whiskey is injurious to ildivid-
uals, it is likewise injurious to a ma
ton. When an athlete is training his
muscles and developing his body, all
stimulants and harmful habits of all
kinds must be stopped. H: is then pre-
pairing himself for the supreme test,
when a weak muscle or an unneces-
sary pound of flesh will count against
him. The titanic struggle which our
country is now in, will have to be
won by the superior strength of our
men. They must be kept in fighting
trim. And if the people here persist
in running saloons and %breweries,
u men will be kept in anything but
fighting trim.
Millions of dollars are thrown
away every year upon beer and vari-
Gus drinks. It is a gross wrong, and
wanton extravaganza at any time.
Now at the critical moment of our
nations history, when u govern
ment is crying out for money to u
the war, it is extremely unpatriotic
for our people to squander that
