MARYLAND STATE

Next Saturday.

4bfoRGANToWN Oct. 11.-West
Virginia apparently has one more
game on her schedule than she
intended to play when the card was
made up, and the team in question is
Maryland State College. Maryland
state plays here next Saturday, Oct.
18th. Last Saturday the Maryland
team played Swarthmore, team
which under Dr.. Mercer is rated as
being as good or better than Lafay-
cite, Lehigh and other teams outside
the aBig Three" in the east, and the
Maryland had all the worst of the
luck. swarthmore was lucky to win
bSia 1913 score.
Not only that but a sheet OF statis-
tics received here today has this
significant line: Harris, sub-quarter-
back, LIST year on team, weight 1b5,

Doctor Osborne. that the liver forms

and is absorbed there. Everything
that is absorbed from the stomach or
the bowel has to go to the liver, and
nothing is allowed to enter the gen
eral circulation until 1t has been prop
ery sifted and treated in the biggest
organ we pOssess-the liver. 1t has
been found in the case of alcohol. that
when alcohol has been absorbed in the
bowel it reaches the liver, and the
liver really does not know what to do
with it. There is practically no pro-
vision in nature for the utilization OF
alcohol Ia very significant fact. may
here parenthetically remark).
when alcohol reaches the liver the
liver manages to destroy some, but
great portion of it is turned out in
the bile, and once more reaches the
bowel, and then the liver. and this
cycle Of operations goes on for hours
and possibly days, until the alcohol

statement:
"As a matter of fact, no liquor ra-
ton is served our troops either here
or abroad. No army canteen sells al
cohOlic liquors. By General Pershing's
orders, our soldiers in France are for
hidden either to buy or to accept as
gifts from the inhabitants. any alco-
hOlic beverages other than light wine
or beer As there is little beer sold
in France, General Pershing reports.
Men who drink are thus limited to
the light native wine used by all
French people. Even this is discour-
aged among our troops in every way
possible. l hope to secure the Coop
GRAFTON of the French government to
prevent the sale of all liquors and
wines to our troops. Personally, l
favor prohibition in the army, but it
is impracticable and inadvisable to
issue orders that cannot be enforced
without the cooperation of the French
government "The charge of drunk
enness among our expeditionary
forces" asserts Mr.. O'Higgins, ''is Il
pro-German lie designed to alarm the
mothers and fathers of the boys who
have gone to France. The stories Of
immortality consequent upon drunken
ness are equally baseless."
