THE WINE DELUsIoN.

DR.. William Brady, in the Chicago
News, recently exploded the old su-
perstition that wine is strength
building tonic. He says:
"For a long time there has been a
suspicion growing among thoughtful
physicians that alcohol does not de-
serve the reputation our medical fa-
Tiers gave it in medicine. First it was
proved beyond question that alcohol
was not a food. Then it was settled
that alcohol does not stimulate the
heart or the brain. Then it was found
that alcohol does not help digestion,
but rather inhibits or delays diges-
ton.
but alcohol, as wine or as some
alleged tonic, taken in dessert-sp spoonful
or tablespoonful or larger doses, does
flush the invalid's face for a time,
does make the invalid feel warm, does
lower the body temperature slightly
Coy excessive heat radiation from re-
Taxed or dilated surface vessels), does
impede the mental processes, does de-
lay the normal nervous response TO
any external stimulus (as in quick fir
ing at target that moves) and does
render the victim of the delusion tenn
porarily forgetful of his troubles.
"a mighty poor tonic, after all.
80 far as any strengthening or
blood building effect is concerned, a
glass Of milk will accomplish about
four times as much as the same guam
tity of the best wine will accomplish
and do no possible HARM"

NOT WISE TO GO HUNGRY
Writer criticixes the "No-Breal<fast"
Fad Which Still Retains Hold
on Some People.

"A few years ago someone started a
boom for the breakfastless day as con-
ducive to longevity. j know persons
who have chung stubbornly to this abb
surdity, Meredith Nicholson writes In
the Yale Review. The despicable habit
contributes to domestic unsOciability
and is, am convinced by my own ex-
periments, detrimental to health. The
chief business of the world is trans
acted in the morning hours, and am
reluctant to believe that it is most
successfully done on empty StomachS
Fasting as spiritual discipline is, Of
course, quite another thing, but fast
ing by tired business man under med
ical compulsion can hardly be lifted
to the plane of things spiritual. To
delete breakfast from the days pro-
gram is sheer cowardice, con-
fession of invalidism which is well
calculated to reduce the powers Of
resistance. The man who begins the
day with prescription that sets him
apart from his neighbors may ven

ing himself that his abstinence proves
his superior qualities; but in his heart,
to say nothing of his stomach, he
knows that he has been guilty of a
sneaking evasion. If he were a nor

skulking out of the house breakfast

to the breakfast bell, joyous break
Ing of the nights fast, is a rite not to
be despised in civilized homes.

CHAPTER XIV.
The crolx de cuerre.

When we had been on the shore
for about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
/ ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at it full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafening.
A section of my company was lying
out in a shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
but wait for shell to find them. We
were stiff and thirsty and uncomfort-
able, and had not slept for two nights.
In that time we had been under con-
stant fire and had stood off several
raiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used to the
shell hole and were making ourselves
as comfortable as possible in 1t when
along came a shell of what must have
been the Jack Johnson size, and we
were swamped. We had to dig three
of the men out, and though one of
them was badly wounded we could not
send him back TO the hospital. In
fact, the Smelling was so heavy that
none of us ever expected to come out
of it alive.
So, it was like keeping your own
death watch. with the shells tuning
up for the dirge. 1t was impossible to
aisten to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length of
time it would split your eardrums, /
am sure. So all we could do was to
aay low in the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
us, and one of our machine gunners,
wheagot up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean off
his shoulders, and the rest OF him
landed near my feet and squirmed a
little. like a chicken that had just been
RiIled. il was awful to see the body

4 VOICE FROM czEcHo-sLovAk

The president of the CzechO- Slovak
republic, Prof. T. G. Masaryk, formerly
of the University of Prague, in lee
ture on Educated Circles Must De
stroy Alcohol Superstition, shows the
responsibility of the individual for his
neighbor.
Progressive ethics demand of the
modern man higher state Of mind !:
alcoholism degrades the whole man;
it is hostile to progress, retrogressive.
''The modern ethic holds love OF
neighbor to be the root of all moral
duties. Love of neighbor means labor
for ones neighbor. Do not ask Of
the modern man sentimental phil
anthropy but the consciousness OF
responsibility for the alienation of
physical and intellectual need. But
alcoholism weakens sympathy for fell
lowmen, weakens the will to work.
weakens belief and confidence in mans
worth. For an active love of ones
neighbor and labor for him, clean
heart and clear head are also neces-
Sary
Love of and work for ones neigh
Dor require, in the case under discus
sion, the example of abstinence. Ex-
ample against example, Through the
example of drinking are most drink
ers seduced to drinking. No man has
natural craving for alcohol poison.
Especially should the educated give
the example in the. present stage OF
our scientific knowledge about alcohol.
A physician, teacher, or educator who
tolerates drinking commits crime. It
is incumbent on the educated and lead
ing circles to destroy the alcohol SUI
perstition theoretically by enllghten-
ment of the people, and practically by
abstinence.

SALOON TAXES.

The brewers in Reading, Pa, are
taking stand for lower valuations on
the various saloon properties scattered
throughout the city. They claim the
town council should consider, when fix
ing tax valuation, the fact that pos.
sible prohibition will cause deprecia<
ton in the value of these properties.
Ordinarily saloon properties are val
ued at a higher figure than those adj
Joining because they bring a much
higher price in the market
On the other hand, saloon, because
of its usually undesirable character.
depreciates the value of other proper
ties in its neighborhood. Are they
not entitled to a reduction because OF
depreciation caused by the presence OF
the saloon?

Large Back Scratcher.

A neighbor recently purchased
three pigs and quartered them Id his
back yard. This is something of a
novelty in this neighborhood and con-
sequently very interesting to the chill
dren who spend a great deal of time
watching them. The other night Dad
dy asked our four-year-old girl, "Well
how are the pigs today She began
to laugh and answered:
"Oh, Daddy, one is such a funny
pig. Whenever it has an itch it
scratches itself with its house. -

A DENVER BANKER ON PRoHlRL

Albert A. Reed, vice president and
trust officer of United States Ma
tional bank, says:
without any reluctance and with
out qualification Of any sort I am able
to state that the effect of prohibition
IN Denver and Colorado have been
beneficial from every point of view--
moral social, industrial and financial.
This seems to be the almost universal
opinion and judgment of the business
and professional men of Colorado.
''There is no demand, and I dare say
little desire, to return to liquor poll
Icy. Personally, I am in favor Of pro-
hibition, local, state and national.
have never heard or seen valid or
sound argument in support Of the
