INFLUENZA AND ALCOHOL

No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the in
fluenza epidemic than the one to the
effect that whisky is preventive or
cure for the disease. The truth is.
the worst thing one can do is to take
alcohol when he is suffering from in
fluenza. and those who drink intoxi-
cants are much more liable to con
tract the disease than those who alb
stain from il.
Out here at the Government depot
there were 400 cases of influenza.
Three deaths resulted But none Of
the deaths was caused by the influen-
"a; all three Of them were caused by
alcoholic pneumonia brought about
because the patients heard that
whisky was a good thing to take
when one had the disease II is stat
ed that one of the unfortunate vic
Tins stated upon his death bed that
he had read an advertisement saying
liquor was being used in the treat
ment Of the disease, and that he had
taken whisky on that account The
person or persons printing such ad-
vertisements are therefore little bet
ter than murderers.
Whatever you think Of prohibition
or whether you think anything Of it
let alcohol alone-for the present al
least DO not weaken the system by
using excessive stimulants when there
is such great danger And if you
should be so unfortunate as TO con
tract the disease. let the physician
prescribed for you; do not get il into
your mind that you can cure your
self by drinking alcoholic beverages
Dangerous to handle at all times. al

DEMOBILIZATION

Soon the troops will be coming
home. Not all of them, for undoubt
eddy some will be retained, with sol
ders of the Entente, for various du-
ties, until Germany and its allies
shall have complied with the condi-
tions of peace. II may even be that
fresh men will be sent over to re

nothing astonishing in the estimate
that il will require fully two years

normal peace basis. The return is
sure to be more leisurely than the
feverishly performed work of put

THANKSGIVING DAY

Ever it is true that the great peo-
pie are those who give open thanks
to the Power they recognize for the
good which comes to them. Some
thing in the strong heart has made
Thanksgiving an instinct of forceful
civilization. It has been so since the
time when Miriam, the prophecies.
played upon the timbrel while her
handmaidens danced and the daring
Israelites praised God because they
had safely passed the sea The old
Greeks made thank offerings TO their
gods, ana the bearded Norsemen ex-
pressed their clamorous gratitude to
Odin and Thor TIC the world-dom-
mating Anglo-SaNon, with his reli-
gion of Christ, came the same inn
pulse. and 1t has chung TO him IN each
vast wilderness he has invaded Not
only has he been giver Of thanks
but he has dignified and gloufied the
duty and made il feature Of his ma
tional life
II was almost a matter Of course
that there should suggest itself to che
Puritans, rigid and God-fearing as
the most earnest of CromwelPs
round-heads the idea Of thanksgiv-
ing that should be formal. but 1t was
from the flux of a new natures mu-
nificent influence upon their lives
that there came a mellowlng 10 the
character of the days observance.
that certain hardness disappeared
and that the occasion became one Of
open joyousness. The little shrub Of
observance planted in 1921 by the
good Gov Bradford has grown into
a mighty tree with flowers amid its
fruit
Ii was good, all that happened
about the time Of the first Thanksgiy-
ing day The Pilgrim fathers were
in particularly jubilant mood. for
them, on that occasion Years Of
scanty crops and threatening stava-
tion had been followed by a bountiful
harvest and there was an absolute
genality in the preliminaries to the
famous dinner Il was to he a game
dinner a dinner fit for any epicure
who ever lived, and none So mean in

rugged worshipers that they were not
content with even this but summoned

feast was spread red man and white

here was an exhibition of that broad
humanity and care for the other man
taught by Him who walked the strand
Of Galilee Here was practical Chris
danity. and who shall say that from
this hour, when such kindly hospital
ity was shown. when the good things
God has bestowed upon men were
eaten approximately and ioyously
and when thanks were given more
generously than in the past, there
was not given birth to the germ Of
that broadness and joyousness. even
