Influence

Boston. Jan. 6.-The passing of
BABE Ruth, slugger extraordinary
and pitcher OF high degree. from the

HOW OUTLAW BOOZE
KILLS AND INJURIES

Hospital records and post
mortem examinations reveal a
large variety of effects from the
use of wood alcohol, denatured
alcohol and homemade whisky.
Wood alcohol causes death by
paralysis of the lungs or heart.
Permanent blindness sometimes
results when the victim of wood
alcohol poisoning escapes death.
Whisky substitutes are likely to
contain any one of several in
furious ingredients, such as
ether, carbolic acid or formalde-
hyde. Moonshine whisky, not
sufficiently aged, is highly charg-
ed with irritant oils. It often
attacks the heart directly if
taken in any quantity. Grave
injury to the vital organs oc-
ours among those who recover
from the first symptoms of
whisky poisoning. The many
forms of synthetic whisky now
now being sold include toxic
substances which may cause al
most any illness from asthma to
insanity.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Twelve of the
leading figures Of the democratic
party, including most of those promi-
nently mentioned for the presidential
nomination are on the list of speakers
made public today for the Jackson
Day dinner to be held here Thursday
night.
A message from President Wilson
Will be read first at the banquet and
speeches win be made by the follow
ing Villa n Jennings Bryan, Secretary
Daniels, Attorney General Palmer,
Governor Cox of Ohio; James W.
Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many; Champ Clark, of Missouri;
former sreaker of the house; Gov
ernor ConweH of West Virginia;
Senators Hitchcock. of Nebraska:
Pomerene, of Ohio; Underwood, of
Alabama; and Owen of Oklahoma and
Mrs. Peter OIeson, associate member
Of the national committee from Min
nesota.
The banquet incidental to the
al1adrenhial meeting OF the national
committee to choose a time and place
for the national convention is expected
to provide a vehicle for those in the
running fer the presidential nomina-
tion to place their views before the
party leaders and the country.
Greatest interest among arriving
committee members manifestly CEN
tered today in the Presidents message
of greeting and the pronouncements
to be made by Mr.. Bryan. Charac-
terized as IAN important word" by
white house officials the nature af
MIR. Wilson'S message is being care
1n1
about what he may say on a third
term and on the peace treaty as a
campaign issue.
Guesses about Mr.. Bryan's address
touch on these same subjects, many of
the party leaders expecting him to
declare his stand on the treaty and
20 put himself definitely into the run
ming for the nomination. In the past
few weeks his friends have been very
active in his behalf and they expect
the banquet to give the opportunity
for him to again assume a conspicuous
place in the party councils.
Mr.. Bryan has been quoted as urg
ing, at a recent meeNng here with
several democratic senator's, that the
treaty be rstified promptly with COM
promise reservations and in some
quarters ii is believed he may reiterate
that stand sEhursday night. There are
committee men who believe that the
president, on the other haAd, may
ask in his message thar the party go
hsfore the country on a platform for
unreserved ratification. The possi-
bilities or the situation that might
thus be developed We're widely and
eagerly discussed today by those who
had arrived for the big party get-to-
gfther.

convention, Kansas City was the first
