Alcoholism, No. 2.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, NJ. D.

There are distinct stages in acute
alcoholism, the first being that Of
excitement with usually loss Of
keenness in mental control.
Next is the stage of incoherence,
with thickened speech and stagger-
ing and uncertain gait.
The centers in the spinal cord
controlling motion, and those in the
brain controlling the senses, are
more or less paralyzed; the surface
of the body is warm, and there is
often profuse sweating.
The third stage is that of uncon-
sciousness and insensibility with
more or less paralysis, loud breath
ing, and sometimes apoplexy, col
lapse and death.
The brain, the lungs, the heart,
the kidneys, and the digestive or
gans are all congested, and If the
arteries are weak they may not be
able to stand the pressure.
Drunkenness is followed by head,
ache, general depression, stomach
disturbances and trembling.
One who Is recovering from 1t
may be given a mild cathartic,
some form Of ammonia, and extern
al heat OF hot enema-if stimu-
lation is required-with very little
food except milk.
1t Is fine thing when one dose
OF poisoning Of this kind satisfies
the one who has experienced 1t.
In chronic alcoholism, there NAV
be disturbances in any or all the
organs.

tive organs, and the kidneys, be-

IT'S A GREAT LIFE.

After thinking it over and reading
all the pamphlets sent out by the food
administration, and then thinking it
over once more, young Mrs. Spendrow
Jellybeans decided that thereafter she
would go to the butcher shop in person
every day and select her own meal, thus
assuring herself against unnecessary
waste.
So, with her swagger new market bas-
ket, that she had knitted herself she
went around to Schmutt Is meatery.
"Good morning, Mr.. Sehmutts," she
radiated. I'm going to do my mark

be no more waste in my house, abso-
lutely none. think III have a nice
steak today-suppose you cut me some
off of that piece, there2 Oh, is that

Here's elegant steak already cut,
Mrs. Jellybeans said Sehmutts, as he
slapped a piece on the scales and held
it steady with three heavy fingers.
"Seven pounds.
But oh, look at all the fat on it."
objected Mrs. Jellybeans, shaking her
finger at him mischievously. "It's
sheer waste to pay for fat, you know"
"Sure. l II cut it off for you," said
the butcher with butchsry SMILE
Shall chop the bone out, too?"
ooh, how sweet of you to think of
it and help me out so generously in
my thrift planl" she cried.
"Notta TALL" said Schmutts. And he
cut of the fat and chopped out the bone,
remarking "Seven pounds at fortyfi
a pound-that's $40. Anything else,
Mrs. J.9"
"How much are those frankfurters?"'
asked Mrs. Jellybeans.
"Twelve cents pound, two pounds
fer quarter"
"Then I might as well take Two
pounds-every penny counts nowadays
sparkled Mrs. Jellybeans. And she trip
ped gaily out with her purchases.
"It's great life," mused Sehmutts
the butcher, idly scratching his chin
with two pound roll of hundred dol
lar bills.

One Of the greatest, difficulties is
the paralysis of the win, which pre-
vents efficient cooperation with the
physician.
Alcoholism is one Of the diseases
in which treatment by drugs Is
often OF great value; but this ic
frequently oyer-rated by those who
supply it, and may not accomplish
what is expected or promised.
Sanitarium treatment is also Of
great benefit: but much depends
not only upon the disposition of the
patient, but upon his surroundings,
and especially upon the intelligence
and good Judgment of his physician.

and 37000,000 bushels in elevators.
About 23,000,000 bushels of wheat, or
its equivalent in flour, are held by
dealers. To furnish the allies sixteen
million bushels month is all they ask
for, leaving about 37,000,00O bushels
to meet domestic requirements, which
is deemed sufficient if substitutes are

mails, equivalent to the consumption of
pork. and pork products by the entire
population of the United States for 1917
for 25 days.
These recent losses should be compar-
ed with that of 100000 hogs in 1914,
which curtailed production to the ex.
tent Of the national consumption for
that year for 81 days.
The marked reduction in the losses of
swine in 1918 over preceding periods,
in view of the fact that 80 per cent
of these losses are due to hog cholera,
indicates clearly the benefits from the
efforts Of State and Federal
agencies in protecting the farmrs
against the ravages of this exceedingly
fatal disease.

We hear the kaiser rave; the old red kaiser

Europe's bloody plain, beneath the blue
