DEFEND VALUE ALCOHOL
AS CURATIVE AGENT

Amid all the clashing opinions con
corning the true status of alcohol, one
fact stands out beacon-clear, that ex-
tremists on both sides are in the sad
Jle, and are riding amuck through
what should be definite scientific
proposition.
There is one factor Of physiological
Importance now quite universally ig-
nored, and this is that alcohol has a
distinct function as a heat and energy
producing agent. 1t is especially val
liable in conditions in which the wan
ing life-forces from general debility
senility or any other cause, need def
mite stimulation.
In the abuse of alcohol there prob
ably lies more or sorrow, crime, pow
erty, vice, and misery than can be
justly ascribed to any other agent ever
used by human beings But the physi-
clan, interested ouly in saving life
has to do only with people who can.
not, in their extreme condition of de-
bility, get stimulus out of ordinary
food. There is nothing. so far as
known, that can take the place of al
cohol in the crises where life hangs
by the slenderest of frayed threads.
Nor am / alone in these conclu-
sions Some of the ablest English
and European authorities have ex-
pressed themselves unequivocally in
favor of alcohol as a stimulant in de-
PRAYED physical and lowered nervous
states.
In all pulmonary and toxic condi-
tions, associated with pronounced de-
1,n o11r re al,
toxic material, alcohol has saved
cores of lives at my hands. In adj
vanced tuberculosis and in infectious
diseases it amounts 20 a crime on the
nart of physicians, in my Judgment
not to give his patient the benefit OF
alcohol.
Even with little children, septic
from diphtheria or typhoid. / have
found alcohol of inestimable value il
tiding over the crisis and helping tc
overcome the toxic conditions.
What is the reason for these re
suits? Why is it that years of expet-
fence, with thousands of the most des.
perate cases. has served only to en-
nhasize the therapeutic value of alco-
hol?
1t is because alcohol is the one
product that will yield heat and force
without the expense of any digestive
energy. Alcohol is absorbed and i'm
mediately oxidized in the epithelia
cells lining the intestinal tract ca
least, this is nv conviction). Each
gram of alcohol Yields seven large
calories of heat. and without this heal
and energy production the patient
simply dies from nerve exhaustion
and nonelimated toxins-Dr. William
II. Porter in TIE New yo~l. Tsiwne

SUCCESS.

Success means aspiration one
fourth inspiration one-fourth, pers-
piration one-haIf
You must pay for what you get
There is no chance to sneak into the
big bank of success by the side door
without paying your admission.
Right here is where the gimlet-
headed youth with the wishbone in
stead of a backbone makes his mis-
take.
He has aspiration but not perspir-
alton; he is looking for snap. He
wants to dodge work
His eye is on a big salary and his
heart on short hours.
There never was and never will be
a really successful man whose oh
jective was big salary and little
work
The fact is, it is the extra hard
work that gets the big salary.
Work is a young mans friend
Work never hurt a man but it is the
improper care Of ones self when not
working that hurts.
You, can't burn the candle of pleas
ure night after night and keep a
good grip on yourself in the day
time. Work makes the time pass
quickly. Work is adding to your great
experience.
Precipitation brings the inspiration
that your aspiration hopes for
Work inspires. Loafing tires.
The real work is the machine; the
fundamental parts of the job are ex-
perience, time and work.
If you want your boss to be fair
to you be fair to him.
Many youth says the boss is I'M
fair and holds him down.
Before we believe this we want to
hear what the boss has to say on the
subject.
The boss has his eye on his en-
ployees. Don't forget that he knows
who is who.
He knows the four-fiusher from the
producer. He is studying your case
while you are complaining you are
held down.
Just keep on hustling. Do your
level best. Make your work count
Get more experience Help the other
fellow in your spare moments. Be
prepared.-AtlasG Globe.

IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THEIR
PLACE.

Trapping wild animals or their fur
is perhaps the most cruel of all hid
eOus and deliberate infections of
pain now practiced by mankind. The
full penalty will be paid for it. too.
Any nation that degrades itself in
such manner is mentally and NOR
ally unfit to meet the. problems of life
and the world as they should be met,
and instead of progressing safely and
prosperously upward to saner civ
ilization, it will have to keep on
stumbling along the dark old ways OF
selfishness, oppression, hate and
bloodshed. Tho they have not even
the poor knowledge of it to console
them in their lingering and lonely ag-
onies, the tortured beasts will have
their revenge. IF you were in the
place of one of these pitiful victims
could you believe in God?-Dodgevill
Sun-Republic.
WaShingtOn-Adm Sims told the
senate investigating committee that
failure of the navy department to CO.

of the war had cost 100000 lives, fiji
teen billions in money and two and
one-half million tons in shipping. He
presented documentary evidence.
