How Your nOotCh Is Made

Editorial, jackson Miss Daily News.
This editorial is primarily for the
benefit of the man who drinks moon
shine liquor, Others who are not thus
engaged in poisoning their bodies will
find it of interest.
The most inveterate ho0tch hound in
Mississippi. if he could not but see how
the stuff he drinks is made, would
swear off forever
Hardly drop Of the moonshine
whiskey being sold in Jackson came
from place that bore any resemblance
to sanitary surroundings
ON the contrary, the average moon
shine still Is place Of ndebeflbable
dirt filth and squaIor
The DailyEewa has with the per.
mission Of Prohibition Director NJ II.
Daily examined some Of the written
reports submitted to the Federal gov
eminent by prohibition enforcement
officers describing the stills they have
raided during the past few weeks,
AT one place not far distant from
Jackson the officers found a dead
black snake, about six feet long, badly
decomposed, in barrel of mash from
which the liquid had been drawn.
At another still where the barrel of
sour mash was buried in the ground a
decayed bullfrog was found, floating
on top.
At still Of large capacity the cap OF
the still was so filthy that it had been
fly blown and infested with maggots.
The plant was in operation, and the
"white lightning was being filtered
through the maggots.
Up in Director Daily's office you will
see scores Of liquor samples taken from
stills which showed, on chemical analy
sis, that concentrated I've was used in
the clarifying process.
These liquors are manufactured b!
men who are ignorant of the first ele
ment of the laws of fermentation or the
rules of sanitation. They concoct the
deadly stuff by main strength and awk
wardness, so to speak, the sole ant
| only aim being to evolve something
with powerful kick in it, and the,
give never thought to how dangerou
! or poisonous it NAV be.

"Mtssinu Link" Still Missing.

I think every palaeontologist of the
world now admits that not a single
missing link has been discovered be-
low man, and that we know even less
concerning the origin of man than we
thought we did formerly. The
puzzle Of origin again hanks back TO
where it stood when Darwin began to
investigate. His theory and its sue
cess0rs hang. on, the clothesllne,
thoroughly aired and Tapping in the
breezes. Parallel evolution being II
fact, all of us can accept it, even the
layman and the orthodox clergyman.
All can readily admit, for instance,
that every human being has % bones
in his Uranium, identical with those
of reptilia and amphibia. Beyond that
fact, no one need admit or deny origin.
but merely stand pat or pick out his
own ancestor. All past theories vt
descent having been abandoned for
want of connecting links, we. find our
selves just where Agassiz left mat
tiers, with only his doctrine OF null
tiple origin with which to tie.-W.

view.

ROMAN WOMAN, FIRST NURSE
On Record in History az Establishing
ConvaIescent Home for tho
Poor A. D. $50.

The word nurse" is derived from
the Latin, and means Ito nourish.'
There is no reference to a sick nurse
in the Bible, although numerous chill
dren's nurses are mentioned.
FabiOla, the first nurse recorded In
history, was Roman woman who
established a hospital and GONZALES
cent home for the poor after her con-
version to Christianity, about A. D.
$50. She inaugurated society of
rich women, and had them trained as
sick nurses.
Nurses, who are addressed as
"sister'' on account of the old religious
traditions associated with their work,
lost their professional dignity in 1914,
when twelve women were engaged at
St. BarthOlomew's hospital. London,
to nurse the sick and perform nenial
work.
From that time nurses were un-
trained, until the doctors at the New
York hospital began to lecture them
on "scientific cleanness" in 1890.
Fliedner, at Kaiserwerth, Germany
opened the first scientific training
school for nurses in 1885. Florence
Nightingale was trained at his estab
lishment, and introduced his methods
into England.
