HOW ALCOHOL AFFEcrs aRAlM.
lConoocSeu py the National WomAn'o
Christian Temperance Uniou-)

Alcohol Is a poison to all parts of
the body, but the part which alcohol
can damage most quickly and to the
greatest extent Is the delicate and
sensitive brain. And that Is a fact.
The first effect of taking alcohol into
the system is felt by the brain; the
worst damage is done to the most dell.
cate parts Of the brain and 80 1t fol.
lows, that when a man takes a drink
OF whisky or beer, or anything else
containing alcohol, 1t promptly mud
dies his thinking. weakens his judg-
ment, and loosens his control over his
actions. In other words, 1t quickly
steals from him what Is best in him
1t reduces the force Of highest brain
control which nature has given him,
which he has developed through ages.
and which marks him out as different
from brute animals.
NOW, OF course, we don't mean to
say that when person takes a drink
OF anything containing alcohol he ut
once Ii reduced to a brute animal !:
but very few will dispute that drunk
en- person is not much better than a
brute animal. And the reason he has
been reduced to such q state by aIco-
hol is because, before he can take
enough Of 1t to kill his body. he has
had enough to paralyze his brain, es-
pecially the highest parts of his brain.
1t has paralyzed his power to think, 1t
has paralyzed his power to Judge, has
paralyzed his power to control his ac-
tions. The amount Of alcohol which
makes q person drunken varies with
different people. Some can stand very
little, others a great deal. However,
even a very little, though 1t does not
show itself in drunkenness, has a
damaging effect on the brain. This is
what We want to point out particular
ly. Too many people think that II
they drink alcohol In moderation, such
for example, as three or four glasses
Of beer a day, or one or two drinks
Of whisky a day, they are not doing
themselves any harm at all. Very
many even think that they may safely
drink as long as they stop before get
ting drunk. These are very danger
GUS and mistaken ideas to have.
Drinking even in moderation has dang
ers for the brain and nerves, and
steady drinking is very bad.
One Of the most terrible effects of
alcohol on the nervous system Is de-
lirium tremens-the ID. T.'s." Now.
It h not necessary to drink oneself
drunk to get the d. T.'s. Here il what
a doctor who has handled an enormous
number Of alcoholic patients and who
has made a lifelong study Of their
troubles. has to say: ''Many men who
have never been intoxicated. but have
for years steadily taken alcohol, will,
after some severe accident, develop de-
lirium mens."-Ohicial Bulletin. Blu

Washington.-One effect Of the pres
ent rapid expansion Of the American
merchant marine is q sudden and un-
precedented revival of business at GER
tain American ports which a few years
ago were thought to have passed their
zenith.
Bath, Me-. Is cited as an example.
In the prosperous nineteenth century
days Of sailing ships Bath. was the
country's leading shipbuilding port. 1t
declined steadily after the introduc-
ton Of steel as a building material.
Now Bath. building both steel and
wood vessels, Is SO prosperous that the
housing Of the workmen taking Jobs
there Is a pressing problem. The same
is true Of several other North Atlantic

before.
Close observers Of the present re-
vival in shipping say that before the
United States shipping boards present
construction plan is completed-a plan
by which vast new merchant feet is
to be brought into being-the develop
ment Of American ports will parallel
on a larger scale that which took
place in the good old days Of the
square riggers."
In earlier times, as at present, every
body in a port touched by the pros
perity of seagoing was keenly inter-
ested in shipping. Present-day secre-
cy about contracts, sailings and divi-
dends. had its prototype in the secrecy
that enveloped such matters more than
a hundred years ago. in a score Of
American ports, notably in Salem.

In those days, we are told, rival
merchants sometimes drove the work
Of preparation for voyages night and
day. Ships which set out for foreign
ports were watched when they slipped
their cables and sailed away by night" !"
Personal Touch In voyages-
In those times there was a more per-
soual touch in voyage1 than now, as
every man making a voyage was al
lowed certain space in the hold for
goods of his own. People in the home
port of a ship outward bound intrust-
ed their savings to their seafaring
neighbors for ventures in far coun-
tries.

is finding expression today on larger
and less personal scale, say the experts
