PROHIBITION

Prohibition is a failure.
Prohibition has brought the law into
disrepute and contempt, and is steadily
destroying the confidence and respect
Of the nation for Law and lawmakers
and law administrators
Prohibition has developed money
making game. the biggest graft in
history
The game Is being played by a vast
army of highly respectable people.
It consists Of turning a dollar into
eight or ten dollars and doing it often.
It win continue as long as human
nature is human nature, and as long
as prohibition is dignified by the name
OF law.
The game IS so profitable that hard
drinkers win vote for prohibition till
the cows come home
Prohibition is a failure and always
viii be a failure because of this money
making game which is too big to be
stopped
/ The remedy is.-STOP PROH1BI-
TON, accept the inevitable. permit
reasonable stiTnulants for reasonable
people. and put unreasonable people in
jail until they become reasonable.
1t Is not reasonable to punish reas-
enable people because others are un-
reasonable.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The increase in the number of Span

have left all other foreign languages
behind New York alone has 41O
teachers of foreign languages. These
teach Spanish to $1,000, French to al

German have exchanged places, Span

ond
There is no doubt that spreading the
knowledge of the Spanish language in
the United States is better binder to
the consolidation Of commercial ties
between this country and all Spanish
speaking republics Of America than
any of the other elements practiced
heretofore, with the object of obtain
ing the desired fraternity.
Two countries who ignore each 9TH
ers language is an effective barrier to
any desired fraternal or commercial
understanding.
In the Spanish speaking republics,
meantime. they have made substantial
progress in the increased number of
students learning the English Ian
guage. This Is most praise-worthy
and shows South America as anxi gus
to know our language as we are to
know theirs.
But how does the south Of the states
stand IN this movement? / have good
reasons to know that as far as Pen
sacola is concerned. we are tagging be-
hind Why? Are we less energetic, or
is It owing to shortage in intellect
uality? know that is not so, for most
of those who have studied Spanish
down here have acquired efficiency in
3 comparatively short time, proving
their aptitude for assimilating readily
the language.
Pensacola is about 1900 miles nearer
to South America than the north. We
have therefore, that much geographic
cal advantage as a shipping and trad
ing port with South America. Now,
what you need is to communicate with
them in their own language thus fur
nishing the only link to complete the
chain. Friendly and commercial rela-
tions would quickly follow.
One of the birthright of the Flori-

MARX TWAIN,s RELIGION

In its series entitled Religious
Ideals Of Famous Men," a current
magazine gives this interesting light
upon the spiritual life of Mark Twain:
ssClemen's religion seems to be an un-
shone through the intense love he bore
his family, the innate geniaIity of his
nature. the clear loyalty he maintains
ed in his friendships, and a sensitivi.y
to beauty and wholesomeness. After
many happy years OF growing success
and rich domestic happiness. tragedy
opened the heart Of Mark Twain to a
clear realization Of the fundamental
nature Of religion. He recognized a
relation with the Deity saeredly inti-
mate In its nature. Some time after
the death of his daughter, Susy, had
sbftened him immeasurably, his wife
faced long siege Of illness while the
family was in Europe. At this time
he wrote: She remains what she al
ways was. the most wonderful Great
ure of fortitude. patience, endurance.
and recuperative power that ever was.
But. oh dear. it won't last; this fiend-
ish malady VIII play new treacheries
upon her, and shall go back to my
prayers again, unutterable from any

Golfer is the term applied to an en-
largenent of the thyroid gland which
is located in the lower front part Of
the neck.
There are two kinds Of goiter. one
is the simple golfer which Is often
seen in girls in their teens. The only
symptoms of this form is as a rule
enlargement of the neck. This form
Of the disease causes little trouble and
generally rights itself after a few
years. The other form of goiter,
called exophalmic golfer. because the
sufferers eyes protrude from the sock
cts, is often dangerous and requires
expert medical supervision and treat
ment
This form Of goiter is particularly
dangerous because it starts gradu-
ally, progresses slowly and gets a
good many people into trouble The
operation on the thyroid enlargement
in the earliest stages is not fraught
with great danger.
However, the operation on a goiter
which is accompanied by rapid pulse,
tremor and great nervousness, signs
of a more advanced stage. is danger
Gus. There comes a time when ply
sicians viii refuse to operate. and for
this reason people who know they
have a goiter, should seek medical at
tention early
Generally the first symptom noticed
in the case of an exopthalmic goiter
is a rapid pulse. The heart beats fast
ct times, causing the victim to state
that there is palpitation Of the heart
and throbbing in the neck. Then the
eyeballs protrude.
Enlargement of the thyroid gland
comes in every case sooner or later.
Trembling of the hands is an easily
noted sign. Persons with goiter are
continually on edge mentally. They
are nervous, irritable, depressed and
liable to insomnia.
Ochsner gives these rules for goitar
patients. which have been found BEN
eficial
Avoid all excitement or irritation
Get an abundance Of rest. Go to bed
early, sleep long hours and taking a
midday nap. Sleep in a thoroughly
ventilated room Eat slowly and chew
thoroughly. Avoid foods difficult to
digest Eat little meat Drink plenty
Of milk. Eat foods prepared with
milk. cream or buttermilk. Avoid
meat broths, and such organs as
sweetbreads. liver, kidney. ripe and
plucks. Eat freely of cooked fruits
and vegetables and very ripe fruits.
Drink fruit juices prepared from ripe
fruits. Eat eggs. butter, bread, toast,
rice and cereals.
Drink an abundance of good wa
ter. known to be pure or distilled or
boiled. Use no tobacco"

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
RuTToNs

= ~ 49,
I have no desire to be shot but
think I could endure facing firing
squad better than could endure hav
ing my buttons cut off.
OF course, II had to choose between
the two calamities, I should prefer %
lose the buttons.
That is to say. / should prefer % lose
them If with them I lost nothing OF
greater value as for instance, my reps
utation.
But to me it has always seemed that
the most humiliating thing about be-
ing shot to death in the army would
be to have a sergeant come forward
just before the shots were fired, and
tear off the chevrons or shoulder strap
and cut off the buttons from the coat.
Being shot is merely dying, but hav-
ing the buttons cut off is disgrace.
I presume that somewhere in my
library IS a book that tells who in
vented buttons. Adam and Eve, In
fer had none. There came a moment
in the history Of the world when but
tons became a part OF human apparel.
and since then we have all been
blessed and tormented by them.
We played game when I was a
lad. entitled. Button, button, who's
got the buttons" whoever has a but
ton, has something whose evolution
has its close relation to much OF hu-
man progress.
And YET / suppose that none Of us
have ever regarded the button as one
of lifes chief assets. I remember 1o
have heard people say that they ibid
not care a button" about something Of
little value. 1 have heard Of buttons
being used in lieu Of cash in the con-
tribution box. Buttons are not highly
regarded IN human parlance.
But the wearing Of a button bearing
the stamp Of national service may
mark man with dignity almost Of
royalty, and its loss may carry with II
incurable disgrace.
A button may be trivial thing. on
the other hand it may be an emblem
Of honor. and the loss of it more to
be dreaded than the loss Of life.
