CAN'T PUT NEW LIFE
in OLD BEER
Carbonizing and Substituting Both Fail

In an effort to postpone the final
end OF their business, the brewers re-
quested the privilege of putting new
life into old beer. This can be done by
a carbonizing method, known as the
"kreuzen" process. This privilege,
however. was denied in a statement
by Herbert c. Hoover, Food Admin
istrator, and Fl. A. Garfield, Fuel Adj
ministrator The breweries were adj
vised that alter carefully considering
their request it was decided that no
beer, not even so-called "kruezen" or
new beer for the purpose OF carboniz-
ing old beer, shall be brewed after De-
cember |. By process known as
Substituting" or, as doubtless more
intimately known by the trade, "dou-
BILE kruezen." of the public by the
secretly controlled newspapers, the
brewers have attempted to prolong
the life OF their industry. This pro-
cess failed. but interesting details in
connection with its operation will be
revealed by the U. S. Senate commit
tee, investigating secret political meth

New Republic Head
Favors Temperance
Delivered Lectures Against Drinking
and Favors War Prohibition

DR.. Thomas G.. MasaryK, prime min
lister and minister of the finance,
Tzecho-Slovak republic, is opposed to
the use Of liquor. Without doubt this
great Slovanic statesman will exercise
a tremendous influence for temperance
and Prohibition in the new Bohemian
nation. While professor at the Uni
versity of Prague, DR.. Masaryk de-
livered many lectures against alcohol.
A part of one of these is reproduced
in this number of the Issue. Several
months ago, DIR. Masaryk in an inter
view for The American Issue said:
From my own experience | know it
is best not to drink. I have been an
abstainer for 20 years. ! noticed the
difference as soon as | stopped drink
ing. My nerves were better and l
could do more work. If I were not an
abstainer l could not do the hard
work / am doing now" Asked wheth-
err he favored Wartime Prohibition
DR.. Masaryk replied: Eyes, certainly"
Several days ago, ara meeting with
a number of Representatives of his
people, in Liberty Hall, Philadelphia
occupying the same chair in which
John Hancock sat when he signed the
Declaration of Independence, DR.. Ma
saryk. head of the Tzccho-Slovak re-
public, signed a declaration of the
aims OF the democratic union of mid
European nations. 1t is to be hoped
that Americas example in freeing
herself from the liquor autocracy will
be followed by the new republic as
was her example of freeing herself
from the rule of kings, l42 years ago.

CASH REGISTER PATRIOTISM


In their consideration of regulations
relative to selling liquor to soldiers or
during epidemics, the liquor interests
pay attention only to the profits or
losses involved. In circular sent by
the Vigilance Committee, representing
all Chicago liquor trades, rules against
selling to soldiers were set forth In
appealing for strict observance of
these rules, the committee appeals not
to patriotism, but mentions heavy
penalties, loss of license, establish
ment of five and ten mile liquor zones.
An article in the Champion of Fair
Play on the same subject contains this
paragraph which briefly and clearly
explains the attitude of liquor men
towards the law protecting soldiers:
"What would it profit you to sell a
pint or two of whisky to an unknown
when it may result in all saloons in
Chicago being closed for days'"
A correspondent in the Champion
writing from Baltimore about saloon
restrictions during the epidemic ex-
pressed the same idea, thus:
Even though we are working
shorter hours we are not kicking, not
only from patriotic motives but be-
cause we are doing just as much
business working from $50 a. m. to
4:30 p. m. as we did when we were
open from 5 a. m. to midnight"
1t is easy to be willing to be closed
up when your register works just the
same. se
That explains the whole case of the
liquor interests. To keep their cash
registers working they will do any

Churches Closed
Saloons All Open
1t Happened in Cincinnati and Bishop
Asks Why

In Cincinnati, the Health Board or
dercd everything closed, including
churches, schools, Liberty Loan raj
lies and saloons. The liquor dealers
protested and were permitted to re-
main open. In letter to the Mayor,
Bishop William +. Anderson stated
the situation as follows: "The first
thing the State Board of Health in
Pennsylvania did was to close the sa-
looms. The city of Boston has done
the same thing. The first thing Gin
cinnati's officials did was to close
everything except the saloons. Is the
sum total OF the influence of the sa-
loon helpful in the fight against such

I'VE demand energy OF men today.
We wish to be and to have men OF
strong wills. In earlier days this was
not SO. Diligence and endurance and
especially obedience and belief, i. e.,
belief in others, in the leading few,
were required and preached. But the
modern man must determine his own
course, must control himself and as
sist in the systematic Transformation

age and initiative - these are the
watchwords of the reform hungry
present. MISREPRESENTATION

weakens, superhcializes and deterior-
ates the power of apprehension, un-
dermines the capacity for thinking,
endangers the activities of the fancy
by stimulating bizarre and indistinct
plantasmagoria, weakens will and
sense of accountability.
"The modern ethic requires of every
man that he take up distinct position
in relation to all questions of prog
ress. For this he must have a clear
head and clean mind. He must be
clear as to means for the realization
of plans for the future. He must reck-
on. calculate, prepare. .z-z---->--
Progressive ethics demand of the
modern man higher state of mind !;
alcoholism degrades the whole man;
1t is hostile to progress, retrogressive.
The modern ethic holds love of
neighbor to be the root of all moral
duties. Love of neighbor means Ia
Dor for ones neighbor. We do not
ask of the modern man sentimental
philanthropy but the consciousness of
responsibility for the alienation of
physical and intellectual need. But al
coholism weakens sympathy for fell
lowmen, weakens the will to work.

Alcohol a Narcotic
and Not a Stimulant

Modern science has shown that al

the Chicago American, March 20, 1916,
DR.. John Dill Robertson, Chicago's
Health Commissioners, said, "Alco-
holic pneumonia is known to every
practitioner. In the past 20 years in
Chicago the death rate from pneu-
monia was just twice what il was the
preceding 20 years. Alcohol is with

life far exceeds that of war, and the
victims OF alcoholism do not die out.
They drag miserably through a sick
