AIDED BROTHERS IN FIELD
How Women In Civil War Times Went
About Their Activities in Work
Of Mercy.

The activities of women in war work
recalls the work of the women during
the Civil war in a little village Of
New York. William Fl. Shelton, in a
reminiscent article in Century, says:t
"Our village had a decided opinion
about the war, and when the ladies
who had played battledore and shuttle
cock wanted to do their bit in Red
Cross way they selected the little red
cannon house as the, scene of their
activity. The yellow gun carriage,
with it's double trail; was wheeled out
upon the grass, its brass gun actually
pointing south, with the round iron
balls hard by in the portable chest,
to make way for tables and chairs.
Here at fixed intervals the ladies met
to make havelocks and pick lint. For
the first they brought good cotton drill
ing, and for the soft lint they scraped
the oldest sheets and pillowcases Of
fine linen from their grandmothers'
wedding chests"

Why Wartime Diet Was Bed.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, a Hoosier who
became famous as an authority on the
proper food. has been making a short
visit to Indiana friends. He says, &C.
cording to the Indianapolis News:
II regret that the American people
so soon abandoned the restricted diet
enforced by the wartime food admin
istration. The use Of white -four in
stead Of the war mixture is step
backward 80 far as the public health
Is concerned. The war bread was
more nutritious and in every particular
more to be desired than the bread ~
are using today" "a u
Doctor Wiley says his family went
on a war diet before the rest Of the
country and the same diet is being
kept up, even though restrictions have
been, to large measure, removed.
He also thinks the curtailment Of SD
gar was a great thing for the country
and Is sorry the sugar bowl has gone
back on the restaurant and hotel
tables.

WHY
Men of Medicine Oppose
Euthanasia ~

Although attempted suicide Is a
felony punishable with severe penal
ties these are rarely inflicted, cor.
oners' juries being inclined to assume
that trouble or pain had driven the
sufferer temporarily insane. And
many persons hold that Under certain
circumstances a person has right to
die, right to demand that his physi-
clan give him a lethal dose Of poison
that will end his sufferings with a
painless death, called euthanasia.\ But
4 doctor~who lent himself to such an
arrangement would be committing
murder under the law, and the gross.
est of malpractice, that would at least
result in his expulsion from the pro-
>fession. Those who argue for euthana'
STA would have the law and the rules
>of the medical societies changed to
permit what they would call this work
Of mercy. u s%
Physicians, however, do not desine
to have any such responsibility thrust
upon, them. It is all very well to talk
Of hopeless" cases, but no expert
enced doctor dares call any case
hopeless" for all who have had a
large practice can recall cases that
have seemed utterly hopeless suddenly
take turn for the better and recover.
In the words of the Lancet (Lon-
DOM, "the medical profession would
disclaim anything approaching infalli-
bility." "While there is life there is
hope" is anseld proverb that the medi-
cal man has to justify by providing
examples Of its application.
Nor would the doctor care to share
the responsibility with any one else.
Is the patient to be the judge? Must
the sufferers wife or other relatives
be consulted? How about the insur-
ance companies that hold policies on
his life? Then there are the many
possibilities Of complications after
death. Suppose, for instance. a qles-
ton were to be raised as to whether
the condition of the patient justified
the legal murder, as it very we'll might
be. This would scarcely make for the
peace Of mind of the responsible physi-
clan.
This summary of the Lancet's argu-
ment leaves out Of consideration all
the religious and ethical principles
that are involved.

How Hairpins Aid Surgeons.

De Angelo L. Saresi of New York,
who has been serving as surgeon In
the italian army, sends to the Journal
Of the American Medical Association
a note on novel but simple method
Of retracting the skin and flesh in
minor surgical operations. "When spe.
cial retractors are not available" he
says, ordinary hairpins may be used"
And he shows some of the many ways
In which they may be bent for the
purpose. They can be made self
retaining by hanging small weight
to them. 49,.

sell only by the bottle to those they
knew very well, while others would
sell only by the drink, going on the
basis that. liquor in a mans system
could not be produced as evidence.
In the latter places the saloon keeper
usually kept a pitcher full Ct booze
under the bar handy to the sink. Sev-
eral convictions were obtained in
such cases, however. The combina-
ton Of finding a whisky glass, the
odor Of liquor and the presence Of a
drunk or two in the bar room being
sufficient to convince the Judge.
1.-THE wiser ones would have two
pitchers, one on each side Of the sink,
one full of ammonia and one full Of
whisky. One sweep Of the arm would
dump them both into the sink. The
/. odor of the ammonia would prevent
the odor of whisky to be noticeable
and the contents of the sink could be
analysed only as spirits of ammonia.
"An the saloons III the state were
filed with ingenious hides most Of
which defled detection. When hide
was discovered It was generally the
result Of some disgruntled employee
giving the thing away. They range
in capacity from hides large enough
to hold a half-pint close to the bar
itself to false cellar walls behind
which ten barrels might be concealed.
Most of the saloons had large and
small hides the smaller ones being
filed up daily from the big one by
the boss himself.
!. "Some Of the hides consist of tanks
set inside Of hewed-out Orders in the
floor above. These were connected
with a small pipe which generally
ended In a little 'oh1ce' right off the
bar. You would order|a pint. the bar,
tender would return to the office
close a door, remove a calendar from
the wall, behind which was little
disguised gascock, from this he would
remove cap and draw off the re-
quired amount. Other stores Of booze
were kept in the tanks Of flush closets,
which could be flushed from behind
the bar in case the searchers got too
close and the evidence would go down
the sewoe.
"Some had their main hides on
adjoining property, that would not be
covered by the search warrant, to
which access was had by means of
secret doors and subterranean pas
sa8es."
Beer Sold Openly.
"What about 2.75 per cent beer"
was asked.
Ever since 2.75 per cent beer was
brewed," he replied, 1T has been on
sale openly in Maine. Fruit stores
and small stands Of all kinds paid $25
for federal license and put in u
stock of bottled beer, while the sa-
looms sold the bottled and draught
goods both. If the saloons have q
right to sell it because it is month";
tOxicating and If it is non-intoxicat-
ing can't see the necessity Of carry
ing an excessive tax. I can't see
what Is there to prevent soda foun-
tains or anyone selling 2.75 beer at
ter paying the federal tax Of $25.
prohibition in Maine for many
years was a joke except professional
spasms Of enforcement just before an
election when the party in power
figured that they needed votes or the
county treasury needed money. 1t Is

evaders and l anticipate it will be

QUESTION RIGHT BASE LICENSE ON
 GROSS BUSINESS
Contest of Birmingham Auto License Law By Dealers Is Forecast
 at Convention
Ky FRED IT. GoRNuLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The AasHrrald
 72I.2 Fir,t National Bank BuiidinN

Montgomery January 26.-tSpeciaLD Joseph IT, Lyons of Mobile, genera counsel Of the Alabama Automobile Dealers Association. was requested by the organization at it's annual meet ing Monday afternoon to make investi- gations 10 determine whether or not the city commission of Birmingham is within it's rights in lowing a license against automobile dealers based on their gross business during a year. This action was preliminary to a con- test of the Birmingham auto license law if it has gone beyond the bounds permitted by state laws.
 The request was made following a motion of Edward D. Johnston, Bir- mingham automobile distributor. who stated sthat tue city commission pro- posed to levy the license on gross bust ness Mther than profits. "It is un- fair and is something which should sociation." said Mir. Johnston "Bir- mingham autom bile dealers are will ing to bear greater portion of the cost of the contest. but we know that every automobile man in Alabama is involved. If Birmingham should levy the license in this way without pro- test other towns would follow and soon all sections of the state would be involved. We do not believe city or town can make such a levy. It is possible that an automobile company may do business of $&000.000 a year and then lose money. Profits are the things that count. not gross business"
 MT. Lyons also suA Eested that some action should be taken. He also stated that Alabama automobile dealers should bring pressule to bear on the next legislature to amend the prohi- bition laws so as to remove some of the responsibility of automobile own , CTS. He mentioned that under present laws. an owners car may be confis- | eated by the state if another person uses it for transporting liquor unless the owner can prove that he had used every means at his command to de- termtne whether or not the person in- tended to use the automobile for un- lawful purposes.
