THE LOSS OF MAN POWER
 THROUGH BEER
POW ER
Cora Frances Stoddard

The dissipation of food in beer is a serious question, but even more serious is the loss of man power. Right here we must dc our most careful and intensive educational work i'll the next few months. At the risk of repeat ing what is old let me summa- rize certain salient points that we must from now on empha- size and re-emphasize.
 l. Alcohol is narcotic drug whether found in 45 per cent whiskey or 3 per cent beer. A difference in amount does not change the nature of the drug. Beer is a drugged drink.
 2. A small drink of whiskey, say about three-quarters of an ounce, contains no more alcohol than a couple of small glasses Ga pint of 3 per cent beer.
 3. The measure of the harm done is the amount of alcoho taken, whether that amount is in whiskey or in beer.
 4. The sto ach may be irri- tated by the stronger liquors, but digestion may also be i'm. paired by beer.
 5. Experiments show tha, the alcohol appears to reach the blood just as quickly whether taken in the form of beer ol spirits; that given equal amounts of alcohol to begin with. the amount circulating in the blooC (by which it reaches the nerves and other tissues) was pratical Iiy the same whether the alcoho had been taken strong as 1T spirits, or diluted as in ever 2 IA per cent beer. In other words, the man who fights shy of whiskey in the idea of keep l ing brain and nerves clear ol steady, subjects them to exactly the same influence in the same ngth of time if he takes al equal quantity of alcohol in the form Of beer.
 6 It was beer quantity o1 alcohol tequivalent to three tt four glasses of 3 per cent beer that Kraepelin proved impaired the perception and attention needed by sentries, chatfeurs engineers. machinists.
 '. It was beer quantity o1 alcohol Equivalent to three glasses of 8 per cent that Tot terman recently found impaired the fine coordination of eye anC hand such as is needed in gun sighting and delicate machine work.
 8. It was beer quantities oi alcohol Equivalent to three ano one-half glasses of 3 per cent that Bengt Boy found reduced endurance in shooting.
 9. It was beer quantities oI alcohol Equivalent to three tC four glasses Of 3 per cen) that Durig and Schuyler found di unfinished muscle working ability and increased fatigue.

 Now beloved, let us leave the principles of the doctrine Of fool ishness, and cleave to something good that will lead us, and give us better knowledge of the time in which we now live.
 Subject-"God's Message for Today"
 That God has special mes sage for the world today, Is quite evident to many Bible stu dents. It would seem strange indeed in the light of Gods deal ing with the human family in the past, if there was not a mes sage going to the world at the present time, explaining the sig n ficance of the startling events that are transpiring before our eyes. Think of it. To the bat tie of Waterloo, Napoleon led only 125, GOO men, but since this war begun. there have been more than 2S. GOO. GOO men called to the colors.
 If the language of Luke 21-25, and Rev, HIS regarding the na- tiors, has not it's application now, when will it meet with a full filment, my dear readers?
 The present conditions in the world bespeaks that our blessed Redeemer is soon to come again, and in view of this, a message announcing it and preparing a people for it, is due the world.
 Before the flood God sent a message through Noah. That it was not received by many, does not destroy the fact that it was faithfully delivered. No doubt Noah delivered many a sermon from the scaffolds of the boat. but when finally the deluge came only eight persons entered the Ark.
 In the last prophecy of the old testament, we read a message that would be given in the last days: Behold 1 will send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dread ful day of the Lord. and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the chilrden and the heart of the children to the fathers, lest 1 come and smite the earth with a curse,' Mat. 4: 5-6. This proph- esy of the coming of Elijah has been the source of considerable perplexity to Bible students be- cause of the apparent discrepan- cy between the words of Christ and the words of John the Bap- tist. Christ said that John was Elijah. John said that he was not. See Matt. IF: 11-13, and John ]: 20-23 It has reference to movement or message rath- CT than to an individual, and that movement or message will be a counterpart of the work of Elijah. It was in this sense that Christ spoke of John the Baptist as the Elias which was for to come. And that Elias is come already. For the words of the angel to Zechariah concerning John were: Many of the chii- dren of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God, and he shall go before Him. (the Messiah) in the spirit and power of Elias to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the dis obedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord" Luke 1: 16-17.
