Most Diseases Preventable.
1.-THE war has accentuated and
sharpened our realization that the
greatest contributing factor in disturb
ing the happiness of mankind is the
question of physical well-being, the
problem of health and disease" DR..
Farrand said. A large portion Of the
disease of the world is preventable,
and the people naturally are looking
to organizations that are able to help
and guide; that are built on lines that
beget confidence.
"The organization best equipped for
this purpose is the American Red
Cross. States and municipalities must
conduct this campaign and the local
Red Cross organizations are operating
units. For the last ten years leaders
In health work have sought an organi'
cation capable of co-ordinating the
various local activities into massed

suits. That organization is the Red

Nursing Program Developed.
Are we not going to take advantage
of this opportunity to better humanity?
We have here an organization that
represents every national interest;
that knows no party and no creed;
that has attached to It every type Of
man, woman and child in the United
States and we propose to put this en-
ergy behind the great movement to
coordinate and bring together these
varied interests so far as possible.
"The biggest activity which the Red
Cross has undertaken in this field is
the great public nursing program.
The entire movement for public health
depends upon the adequate develop
ment Of the public nurse"

special war time prohibition recently
That law prevents the manufacture
and sale OF intOXicants for beverage
purposes and remains in force until
the rehabilitation of the nations war
armies is completed. Doubtless that
emergency wartime measure will be
effective over the several months that
will eiapse after July1 until the con-
stitutional bone dry act, now adopted,
becomes effective.
Additional Dry Legislation.
During the year following ratifica
ton congress and the several states
will be called upon to pass Legislation
to enforce the amendment AMI to pro-
vide penalties for violations. 1t is
probable a large force of agents I'M
der the direction of the comm issioner
of internal revenue will have to be ap-
pointed to enforce the law. Each state
will have to provide machinery for
the enforcement of the law in addi-
ton to the machinery provided by the
federal government.
1t is likely this additional legislation
will be pushed through as fast as the
days can push it. In some parts of
the country at least they purpose to
take full advantage of their victory.
For example, IN Illinois a forecast
of the Anti-Saloon league is this: In
addition to the search and seizure
act" an act rigidly restricting the han
ding of liquor for medicinal, manu-
featuring, sacramento and scientific
purposes; legislation covering doctors
prescriptions, which must be issued
by bona fide physician in writing,
dated, diagnosing the illness and the
purpose OF its use; all railroad rec
ords of liquor shipments must be
kept; drastic legislation regulating
sale by druggists, with heavy penalty
for violation.
The drys presumably will not con-
fine their efforts to enforcing the law.
They will doubtless take the question
into politics of all kinds and make it

UNITED STATES WILL NOW TRY
EXPERIMENT OF PROHIBITION
Astonishing Action Of ndWdasc People With Strong Sense
of Personal Liberty Brought About by Lessons of the Great
War-AddionaI Legislation Planned to Enforce New
LaW-WlN 'Wets" Conec rehabilitation Details

The United States of America has
entered upon the tremendous social eX-
pertinent of national prohibition of
the manufacture, sale and use of alcO-
holic drinks. There will be abundant
time to give the experiment fair test
since the prohibition is by constitu-
tional amendment. To all appearances
this mandate by the American people
against the use of alcohol is intended
to be absolute and final. We have
written it into organic law-into mag
ma charta-in the form of the eight
zenith amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
The experiment is tremendous de-
parture from previous tendencies of
the American people. We are an indi-
vidualistic people, with strong sense
of personal liberty. Yet here we have
set out to regulate personal habit, not
by statute, but by constitutional
amendment.
And the manner of the passing of
this constitutional amendment is quite
as remarkable as amendment itself.
Action on the seventeen previous
amendments to the Constitution has
taken between nine months and forty,
three months, an average of about two
years. The resolution providing for
tbs eighteenth amendment was passed
by congress December II, 1917, On
January IS, 1919, its ratification by
the states is accomplished.
What has brought about this ratifi,
cation SO quickly? Obviously the Ma
tional Prohibition party has had prac'
tically nothing to do with its accom-
plishment. The answer evidently is
that the war has brought it about.
Prohibition both an economic Ques.
ton and moral question. The wal
set the American people to looking at
prohibition from both viewpoints. We
got accustomed t the thought that
grain was better eaten as food than
swallowed as liquor, inasmuch as we
were told that food would win the

war. We saw what the enforced So
briefly of military service did physical
ly, mentally and morally for young
men who had INDUCED in liquor in
peace times.
Some of our allies got into the war
in a hurry because they had tO-Bel-
GUM and France to save their lives,
Great Britain to save its national hon
or. America took its time-a long time
and gradually worked itself up to
the determination to fight. Doubtless
much consideration Of prohibition was
a part of this slow process. So that
when the opportunity came the states
of the Union went over the top just
about as the American marines and
doughboys did in the Argonne.
