TWO THINGS TO MEMBER IN
DAYS LIKE THESE.

A successful business man. whose
salary is more than $4,000 II year,
recently stepped into the Office of the
President Of his bank with very
worried look on his face.
He is approaching the age when
men like to look forward to retire
ment. He has lived mOdcstly all his
years, and has invested n few tkous-
and dollars every years in first class
dividend paying securities A year
ed by them were she wing record
earning prices. Today the prices have
shrunk day by day until many of
reached
And day by day, ms he has seen
the savings of the years fade away,
the man has grown more worried.
On this day he had come to talk
with his banker about certain rail
road bond that had dropped far be-
low the point where he l.:.d bought it.
The banker listened to his story and
then said this:
"You have fifteen CIR twenty of
those bonds, ard are worried, natur-
ally. Think, then. what must be the
state of mind of the savings bank
and the companies carrying your in
surance. They have their funds in
those bonds also. What do you sup
pose they are thinking about, cheese
days, as they watch the prices fall?
81 have recently made study of
that railroad. Your bond is first mort
gage on every cent of property it
owns. And what does it own? The
tracks and locomotives and cars
yes. Something could conccivably
happen to them. Butt owns t,hous-
ands of acres of land, heavily timber
ed and rich in all sorts of minerals. /
figure conservativcly that the value
of that lands and timber and ore is
sufficient to pay Off your bonds Mt
par. or course, that timber and
those minerals can not be realized at
once. But they can't be lost or stolen
they are still there-real indestruc-
tible security behind your bonds.
Remember, in days like these, to
make the distinction between real
value and uarket value. Hundreds OF
' good securities today ere selling
| away below their real value. That
is unfortunate for those who are com
PEELED to realize money on them al
once. But to man in your position
it need mean nothing. Your wise
course is to forget the quotations and
remember only the security behind
your shares or bonds that, sooner OF
later. will bring the prices back to
where they belong"
a second thing to remember IN
these days is that there is no mag
ic in words. You read great deal
about bond bargains" And MANY
people have the idea that ANYTHING
which is labeled bond is necessarily
better than any thing labeled stock
No idea. Of course, could be more
dangerous. There are dozens of bonds
that are far more speculative thar
good stocks. For example the Wal
Street Journal points ont. in 1908 thu
first mortgage 4s of the Iowa Cen.
trail Railroad sold at 81 and the com
! mon stock of Sears, Robrck and Com
pany at 40. This year the Iowa a,
sold at 45 and Sears, Robuck ant

With the Saloons
Closed During Grip
Epidemic Arrests
Decrease so Percent
Temporary Prohibition Is Revela-
ton in Philadelphia

Because of the influenza epidemic,
all saloons in Pennsylvania were
closed. In Philadelphia, city of over
100000 population, the effect OF no
saloons upon crime and arrests was a
revelation to the police and the public.
In five days operation of the dry or
der there was a reduction of so per
cent in crime. Chief of Detectives
Souder is reported as stating that.
"Bone-dry Philadelphia is going
through one of the most enlightenng
periods OF its history. Crime and
every conceivable sort of vice from
thievery to plain, ordinary drunken
brawls has been brought to a stand
still as a result of the closing up Of
the booze joints.
at has been a revelation to me, and
brought home with added force by a
recent visit / made to the chief of de-
tectives i'll Detroit He told me as "a
result of no saloons in that town,
which is the biggest city in the world
that is dry, crime has been cut down
remarkable.
Police Lieutenant Unver, after five
days of the dry order, said, Conc man
arrested here today. 1t is unbelievable
and real holdy for us, and has been
thus since the Friday night when the
saloons shut down" Police Magistrate
McCleary at the Central Station said
that usually a dozen or more drunks
are before him every morning. On the
preceding day there was only one, and
besides there was falling off in the
number OF those arrested for varying
crimes. The good results OF saloon
closing in Philadelphia are an indica-
ton OF the wonderful change for the
better that will take place in Chicago
and other large cities when National
Prohibition goes into effect Vote for

committee into secret political meth
DDS oi brewers Following the pre-
sentat.on OF d memorandum by Sena-
tor Jones in which he outlined the
evidence in documentary form, which
will prove the guilt OF the brewers,
the committee decided to make full
Among those who will
testify before the committee are E.
Lowry Humes, former U. S. District
Attorney of West Pennsylvania; Cap
tain G. B. Lester of the Army Intel
ligence Service; George Creel chair
man OF the Committee on Public In
formation, and B. F. Looney, Attor-
ney General of Texas. 1t is said that
Mr.. Humes has already supplied the
committee with about 900 pounds of
documents, showing the activity OF
brewing interests in Pennsylvania.
These documents were secured by Mr..
Humes in connection with the trial Of
Pennsylvania brewers, charged with
corrupting elections. At that time the
documents did not become public be-
cause the brewers on trial plead guilty
and paid fines amounting to 100000.
The present inquiry before the Sem
ate committee was ordered by the
Senate, following speech by A.
Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property Gus
todian, in which he charged that the
brewers with willingness to finance
pro-German propaganda in exchange
for anti-Prohibition publicity.

Alcohol and Pneumonia


Alcohol and Pneumonia
Most of the serious influenza cases are
complicated with pneumonia, and it is
we'll known that alcohol is not onlv
useless. but dangerous in connection
with the treatment of this disease. The
pneumonia death rate of abstainers is
lS5, of moderate drinkers 25, and of
immoderate drinkers 52,S Several
years ago the Z. s. Department of
Health issued special warning in
which it was stated that alcohol is
the handmaiden Of death II. eQnnec-
Ton with pneumonia cases. The sihl~
pie fact is that liquor lowers the pow
ers of resistance, making drinkers
much more likely to contract
contagious diseases. There is ab-
solutely no truth in the rumors that
whisky is helpful in connection with
influenza cases. The story was started
by the liquor interests, as a part of
their desperate campaign to defeat
ratification. The people, however. are
now too we'll informed to be misled,
and this latest effort of the booze in
terests to enrich themselves, no mat
ter what the cost in human life, will
make the people more determined
than ever to put an end to the liquor
traffic forever.

Alcohol Not a Medicine

Beside from the denial by military
authorities and physicians of the claim
that whisky is either a preventive or
an aid in cases of influenza, the fol-
lowing facts have an important bear
ing. Whisky and brandy were ex-
cluded from the L. s. pharmacopeia
effective January !, 1916, by the re-
vision committee composed OF 81 lead
ing physicians, chemists and pharma-
cists. The House OF Delegates of the
American Medical Association at their
1917 meeting passed the following
resolution:, Whereas We believe that
the use of alcohol is detrimental to the
human economy; and whereas, its use
in therapeutics as tonic or stimu-
LIANT or for food has no scientific value
therefore obe it resolved. that the
American Medical Association is op-
posed TO the use OF alcohol as bev-
erage; and be it further resolved that
the use of alcohol as therapeutic
agent should be further discouraged" F"
In his inaugural address in Chicago,
June II, 1918, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
president of the American Medical
Association, said, 81 want to plead for
the united action of the organized
medical profession of this country to
secure protection by law against the
injury that drink is doing to our coun-
try, not as a political measure but as
the most important health measure
that could be secured"
