MEDICAL ATTITUDE IS PLEASING
Action of the American Medical
Association
Outlawing Liquor From Medical
Fraternity
Is in Keeping With Scientific
Achievement
Of the Worlds Greatest Medical
Organization

The changing of the mind of tn,
medical world is one of the wors
blows that has crossed the trail O
John Barleycorn. 1t has not beer
so many years since many practicine
physicians freely prescribed the spr
its remedy, but now the change ha:
come with complete disavowal o.
John Barleycorn as worthy OF any
friendly consideration in the medica
world. The Alton evening Telegraph
has this to say regarding the actor
OF the American Medical Association
in Chicago:
Medical science is now about
to attack boldly the liquor traffic.
Not many years ago it was a
queer doctor who did not rely
strongly on alcoholic drink and
opiates as his mainstay.. They
were as important a part of his
materia medica as the quinine and
calomel mixtures he gave. Today
a doctor who prescribes alcoholic
drink is considered as being a
very ignorant man. He does it
because, as in the days when he
used morphine to still pain he did
not have the science to relieve
otherwise, he does not know
which way to turn and is
ashamed to confess his ignor-
ance. That the president of the
American Medical Association
would take such advanced
grounds in his opening address
after taking his seat indicates
that the medical world is moving
forward fast. The cause of Pro-
hbition will have an able ally in
the medical profession. The
members see the benefits of the
suppression of the traffic in OPT
ates and other poisons and they
wish to put John Barleycorn in
the same state of innocuous
desuetudc.

Harmless Temperance Beer

A coal miner died near Nokomis
several days ago after beer drinking
party in which he and four or five OF
his friends took part. All were pretty
thoroughly intoxicated.
This is an illustration of how beer,
the temperance drink, increases eff
cheney in coal mining and also shows
how harmless beer is, for only one Of
the party died.

TO H SISTER,.

You were only a kid, little sister,
When | started owe the sea,
But you've grown quite a lot since |
came here,
And you've written a letter to me,
And nobody knows that you wrote it
It's a secret-and Wen keep it well,
Your brother and you and the ocean,
And nobody's going to tell.
You were only a tot when | left you,
| remember | babe you goodbye
And kissed you, a little bit flustered,
And you promised you never would
cry.
But l know that you cried, little sister,
AS soon as I'd gone out the door.
And did | cry myself? I'm a soldier,
So don't ask me anything more.
l know that you'll be good to mother.
And know that you'll help her a lot.
And whenever she seems to be gloomy,
You've just got to cheer her some
how.
You were only a kid to your brother,
But you're more than the world to
him now.

Circasslan walnut IS sold by the

AS early as 11O b. G. It was introduced

logs are so heavy that they viii moi
