Prohibition and Ice Cream.

Statistics gathered by the National Asso-
citation of Ice Cream Manufacturers show that
since the prohibition amendmentN ice cream
consumption has increased in this country
100,000,0o0 gallons year. This is a notable
figure and encouraging one for ice cream
is certainly more heaithful than many things
that come in black bottles.
The American people are the greatest ice
-sream consumers, just as they the greatest
consumers of candy. in the world It is part
of our national mythology that ice cream was
invented by Dolly Madison, most charming of
first ladies of the land, and that 1t was first
served at a presidents reception. The first
ice cream freezer is attributed to the wife
of a young American naval officer. Another
story has it that the confection was discovered
by one Sambo Johnson, a negro pastry cook
in 1916. record in the great Washingtons
accounts or notes indicates that his Mount
Vernon household had ice cream of Sunday
Whoever first made ices, the ice cream soda
and the sundae seem to be American inven-
tons, and probably it is fair to claim ice cream
in the present form as an indigenous product
like the turkey, the potato, tobacco the ffvver
and chilled connections called cocktails which
some Of our ancestors were said to enjoy.

Answer-Football is man.

for fast growing boys. You need
all your spare energy to grow on,
and I advise you to keep out of
football until you are more ma
ture. Your heart is the muscle that
is likely to suffer more serious in
jury than any other muscle if you
attempt to play a mans game while
you are still Just a boy. Every
high school boy ought to engage
actively in one or another branch
of athletics. and every high school
girl should, too. But high school
football is a mistake from the point

The Daily Short Story

"Oh. God, if it is Ruth. please let

Tilton hesitated a second or two
before he stepped reSolutely out
into the moonlight and stood col

brain for a key to the puzzling sit

, conclusion that it would be best to

fore he started away in either di-

| that she could not be very far away,

he moved slowly toward the west
wing of the house.

always with him. and perhaps. If

one would have found a world of
suffering and sorrow behind those
clear, blue eyes that were eagerly
searching every shadow and hiding
place For his memory had gone
back to that day two years ago
from F'rance-a victim of she'll
shock and bearing in his thigh an
exceedingly disagreeabIe wound
which would thereafter place an
impeachment on every step he took.
That day was the hardest he had
ever faced, for the thing he wanted
most in all the world TO do he
could not do-to see Ruth Brad
ford; TO go to her and TO feel the
comfort of her hot tears on his
face.
he remembered with a twinge of
pam the contagious ripple of her
laughter, and he wondered wheth-

1t was only a matter of minutas
before he found her. but it seemed
like years. She lay face down in a |

loosened SO that it lay like a pool
OF gold about her shoulders. One

Ouinine Fallacies.

A correspondent asks whether
quinine ever induces insanity. an6
mentions the case of a relative
who claimed to be a sufferer from
malaria and always had Quinint
with him, which he took in consid-
cradle quantities"
In general practice nowadays
when a patient speaks of having
been taking some quinine the doc
tor never knows what the patient
means. A great many dangerous
nostrums which contain so little
quinine that you can scarcely de-
tect it-except on the label-de-
pend for their ear-ringing and ache
benumbing effect upon acetanilide
Acetanilide taken I'm considerable
quantities" as a habit, unquestion-
ably does induce mental deterior-
alton and brings many a victim to
the hospital for the insane.
There is so very little good sound
basis for the ancient theory that
quinine was good for so-called
colds" or for so-called grippe,
that l am sure should not care to
take any of the stuff for such pur-
pose myself.
Enough quinine will not only
make the ears buzz (by producing
congestion of the delicate appara-
tus of hearing but will produce
sweating. Perhaps the sweating
accounts for the old fancy that quiz
nine is good for alleged colds
and grippe" Acetaniiide, the
heart depressing. blood-cell-de-
stroying, death-dealing painkiller,
will likewise produce buzzing of
the ears and sweating. 1t is the
acetanilide in the average cold
cure or grippe cure" that pro-
duces these very questionable eff
fects, and not the quinine.
Personally. I'd take my chances
with anything that masquerades
under the name of a cold" or the
grippe" sooner than subject my
heart and blood at such a time to
the damaging influence of acetani-

pain-killers in the same category

Quinine is still the most effective
antidote we have against the ma
