THE GIRL WHO SMILES.

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.
The wind was east and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed
dreary.
For nobody smiled and nobody joked,
The young folks grumbled, the old
folks croaked,
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door and a girl came
in,
O. she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug and her cheek was
thin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold or
damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp,
And she put on the place different
stamp
From that it had about her.
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoke from base to rafter,
And the gloom departed from every
face
AS they felt the charm of mirthful
grace
And the cheer Of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl that will smile
and sing,
And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But kind, unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

SURGEON.GENERAL REPUDIAT-
ES REPORT.

1t will be recalled that the liquor
interests spread the report that large
of booze were made to the
army contonments during the infiu-
enza epidemic.
A letter from the office of the Sur
geon General of the War Department
bearing date of Oct. %, 1918, ad-
dressed to the Winona County, ,Minn.,
Dry Committee of Five Hundred,
reads:
The Acting Surgeon-Geneal di-
rects me to acknowledge to the large
shipment of ardent spirits" to con-
tonments for the use of soldiers as a
preventive of influenza, and to state
to you that there is no truth in the
statement.

ALCOHOL AND THE "FLU."

DIR. John Dill Robertson, Chicago
Health Commissioner, issued warn
ing against whiskey as "flu" cure.
DR.. Robertson is quoted in the Chica-
go Journal of December % as say
ing:
Do you know that alcohol is one
of the greatest predisposing factors
we ever had for pneumonia?
l want to tell the people of Chi
cago that whiskey is not cure for
the "flu," not remedy nor help;
that it does not assist in any manner
whatsoever in fighting any one or
either of the diseases.
Facts speak for themselves. At the
county hospital we had II deaths
from alcoholic pneumonia this year,
as against 230 last year and 235 the
year before. l will even go further
and say that the greatly reduced
death rate we have had during this
epidemic may be attributed to a
great part to the absence of alcoholic
conditions in patients. We have now
the smallest number of alcoholic
cases in the country that we have had
in many years for which we have
records.
DR.. Robertson on January 23rd
gave the following interview to re-
porter Of the Chicago American.
Whiskey is not a remedy for in
fuenza. Anybody who prescribes il
for himself is making great mis-
take. Influenza commonly carries a
temperature of 103 degrees, so it is
obvious that no additional heart ac-
tion is necessary. 1t is quite possible
that the mild form of the disease this
year is due to the fact that we have
prohibition.

HEALTH AND MEDICAL TEM-
PERANrE.

All the world has marvelled over
the mind and body power OF EX-
Premier Clemenceau. The statement
quoted below should be repeatedly
put before the reading public. 1t is
most valuable testimony to the cura-
tive agents, fresh air, exercise and
simple diet.
Edouard Leroy, private trainer to
Premier Clemenceau of France since
1901, explains his wonderful vigor
and endurance, both physical and
mental by the health system he prac-
tices. Eighteen years ago." said the
trainer, "when NJ. Clemenceau re-
tanned my services as health expert,
he was a broken and aged man. He
was a semi-invalid, suffering from
chronic dyspepsia which had reduced
him to a starvation diet. What little
ne dared to eat he managed to as
simulate only ly tl.c use Of powerful
digestives. He considered himself in
durable. The treatment | prescribed
was neither new nor complicated:
Twenty minutes of light scientific
exercise in the bedroom, with the
windows open, followed by a brisk
rub down. In addition, a simple
sturdy diet, with no wine, coffee or
tobacco"
Doubtless the influenza epidemic
would have had fewer victims had
such mode of living been general.
Some ardent anti-prohibitionists are
greatly concerned because influenza
patients can not have whiskey in
sufficient quantity to save their lives.
Unfamiliar with the findings of medi-
cal science, they reveal their igno-
rance and their selfish desire again to
sec American manhood and woman
hood debauched and childhood neg
lected and debased.
Read the following with purpose of
being able to make definite state
ments:
Words of Warning by DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley.
"The big open door, however, is
the danger of the revival of whis-
key, brandy, and gin as so-called
remedial agents. 1t will be hard for
some physicians to resist the plea of
their patients for a prescription for
a quart of red liquor While all rep
utable physicians will refuse all such
prescriptions if they have the least
suspicion that they are to be used for
beverage purposes, there will al
ways be found a few practitioners
who will be willing to lend their aid
to this nefarious purpose. The ex-
perience which we have had with the
enforcement of the law against habit
forming drugs, such as opium and CO.
caine, will doubtless be repeated on
far larger scale when it comes to the
writing of prescriptions for distilled
liquors. The Bureau of Internal Rev.
enue has already taken up the mat
ter under the War Prohibition law
and has issued instructions or regula-
tions which will doubtless be contin-
ued under constitutional prohibition.
Is Liquor Necessary in Sickness?
"Surgeon-General Ireland has said
under date of August Is, 1919: My
own personal opinion is that whiskey
and brandy are not essential in the
treatment of the sick. If the medical
profession as a unit would adopt
this view it would then permit the
medical department to discontinue
the supply of alcoholics as therapeu-
tic agents to our army hospitals
