A TRAITOR TO HIS OWN BODY.

One of the strongest arguments that
q physician can offer against the use
of alcohol is its paralyzing effect upon
the white blood corpuscles. These
are our chief agents in defense against
disease. When some morbid element
enters the blood stream 1t is the duty
of the white corpuscles to cast out.
But the user of alcohol is lacking in
this defense because he has been a
traitor to his own body, taking into 1t
that which destroys the power of his
defenders. This is the explanation OF
the high death rate when pneumonia,
typhoid, or other serious diseases at
tack habitual drinkers. 1t also ex-
plains the reluctance of the surgeon
to operate upon a heavy drinker. The
patient Is lacking in that vital ele-
ment known as resistance" He has
destroyed hImself.-From "a Physi-
clans Testimony on Alcohol" by

WHY WORRY ABOUT CONCUR
RENT LEGlSLATICN2

The antiprohibitionists are making
a fearsome bugaboo out Of the difficult.
ties that supposedly will arise from
concurrent enforcement of the prohi-
bitlon amendment by federal and state
governments. They suggest the posi-
billty Of the inflicting Of double con-
viction for one crime, q conflict be-
tween the laws Of the state and fed
eral government, etc.
AS a matter Of history, concurrent
legislation by the federal and state
governments has been tested and
found to work successfully. Atten-
ton was called to this fact by Con-
gresham e. Y. Webb at the time Of
the hearing and vote on the amend
ment in the house: "Counterfeiting is
peculiarly national offense," said Mr..
Webb, because 1t Is offensive to the
integrity Of the national money. and
yet nearly all the states have statutes
condemning and furnishing counter
feiting But there The jurisdiction is
concurrent, aud If the state gets hold
of a counterfeiter first the federal gov
eminent sometimes let's the state ham
die it, but often asks the state to turn
him over to the federal government.
But the states have the right to en-
force their laws against counterfeiters
because the congress has given them
the jurisdiction"

BANKS Cash PAY CHECKS.

The Deseret Evening News, recount
ing the changes wrought In Salt Lake
City in five months of prohibition, says
that very few Of the places formerly
occupied by saloons are vacant. These
vacancies, we are told, are not charge
able to lack Of wOuld-be tenants or to
a general slump In business, but to the
undesirabillty Of the locations for 9TH
err business. The percentage Of vacant
buildings existing at present in the
business district is no greater, accord
ing to real estate men, than before pro-
hibition went jato effect. The people
today have the pleasure Of seeing res
taurants, grocery stores, meat mar
kets, dry goods and clothing stores and
many other sorts of stores in rooms
formerly occupied by saloons.
The impetus given to other business,
particularly amusements and savings
institutions, has been gratifying. Mo.
ton picture theater proprietors freely
admit that much Of their prosperity
during the fall and early winter has
been due to prohibition.

He who marvels at the beauty OF the
world In summer will find equal cause
for wonder and admiration In winter.
1t Is true the pomp and p~ageantry are
swept away, but the essential elements
remain-the day and the night, the
mountain and the valley. the elemen.
tai play and succession. and the per-
petual presence of the infinite sky. In
winter the stars seem to have rekin-
died their fires. the moon achieves a
fuller triumph. and the heavens wear
a look Of more exalted simplicity.
Summer is more wooing, more
versatile and human. appeals to the
affections and the sentiments. and fos-
tiers inquiry and the art impulse. Win
ter is of a more heroic cast. and adj
dresses the intellect. The severe
studies and discipllnes come easier In
winter. One imposes larger tasks upon
himself.
