ACHES AND PAINS
ARE SOON FIXED UP
Simple, easy treatment
brings quick relief

Quick, sure relief from pain is what
men want when they get famed up
from over-excrcise or exposure, or
when they get a sprain or bruise
A soldier in the Sixth Pennsylvania
Infantry writes from camp: "Sloan's
is great thing for us boyair be army.
After a stiff hike or drill your muscles
are bound to ache, but they are soon
fixed up with Sloan's. It's great stuff
for muscle-b bound legs, lame backs,
stiff necks, sprains or bruises"
The reason that Sloan's Liniment
gives such remarkable relief is that it
gets right at the cause Of the pain. 1t
stimulates the circulation throughout
the place where the pain is, and clears
cut congestion.
Right away you feel relief. Stiff
muscles timber up, the aching stops,
and soon you are fit as ever. No need
to rub. Sloan's does the whole job.
Just pat it on! Get a bottle today. All
druggists-35 cents.

If medals for heroism were dis

would have been eligible when, in
1875, he aided in routing band of
Indians who attacked a party of
white men, one of whom was his
owner, Disregarding a shower of
lead, Pat" flew over the heads of
the Indians and screamed Give 'em

stated today that the company will
operate eighty plows and during the
shipping season hundreds of laborers

the tomatoes.
The company officials, Messrs.
Macklin, Eve and Cramp, who have
established the large tomato farm,
said today that they consider the
section, Coffee county, a favorable
point on account of labor conditions
and reasonable labor wages. The man

at best as temperate, many as heavy drink
ers, there was one day of illness for each
24.38 days of insurance; among the alco-
holics there was one day of illness for
each 1888 insurance days, Judge Ober-
mayer reports in "Polizeiddirekton Num-
chen" on the arrests for drunkenness
190921, also the suicide and attempts at
suicide in the same period. In 1912 the
arrests for drunkenness was 387; 1913,
312; 1914, pol. The records of 1915 were
lost; 1916, %; 1917, AZ; 1918 S.; 1919, "a;
1920, 100; 1921, 200. One sees clearly the
blessings of decrease in alcoholic content
and the evil influence of the flood OF beer
again turned loose. Offenses committed
while drunk numbered 703 in 1912; OF in
1918; 10 in 1916 Il in 1917; Is in 1918;
% in 1912 123 in 1920; 189 in 1921. The
correspondence of these figures with the
foregoing will not be surprising. A con-
siderable share in this showing was no
doubt due to the reduction in the pro-
ducton of alcohol and the fact that the
closing hour was set back to 1880
It is a hard fight that we opponents
OF alcohol have to conduct which has no
foundation except sympathy with the peo-
pie bowed down under the yoke of alco-
hol. We MUST win, for freedom from
alcohol is one of the few possibilities
which will help heal the fearful wounds
of the World War. Luckily, this very
war, which plunged us into our own de-
struction, has shown the blindest the way
to a healing of the people. Now or never
is the time to strive with all our might
to follow the example of America and
Finland and free ourselves from alcohol.

Anti-Saloon League OF America, recently
presented facts relative to the alcohol sit
uation in Bavaria to number OF dry
leaders in Washington. He is in this
country to make further study of paresis.
Stereoptcon slides used in connection
with the address wildly brought to the
attention OF the audience the deadly effect
OF high powered beer upon the people of
Bavaria. In addition to the facts pre-
scented in the lecture, DR.. Kraepelin gave
the Anti-Saloon League of America ma
terial which has been used in connection
with the following summary of the Wash
ington address.
No better evidence of the baneful effect
of high powered beer upon the morals and
health of a people can be secured than is
here offered from Bavaria.
Bavaria is beer country-the country
where the per capita consumption of beer
is greater than anywhere else in the
world
Before the war the per capita consump-
ton was 232 liters, as compared with
lUE.l III Germany as whole.
During the World War not only was
consumption of beer greatly reduced but
the alcoholic content was reduced from
four per cent to one-ha1f of one per cent,
so that the actual consumption of alco-
hol in beer was about one-sixth of what
il was prior to the war and since the war.
DIR. Kraepelin makes comparisons of
the effects of four per cent alcoholic beer
and half of one per cent alcoholic
beer.
Those people who are being misled by
the brewers propaganda to believe that
beer is harmless notwithstanding bev-
erage will do we'll to study this survey
showing comparisons of the effects of
four per cent beer and one-half OF one
per cent beer upon people who are sup
posed to be immune from deleterious ef
fects of beer because they know how to
drink it."
Dr. Kraepelin said:
THE tremendous changes brought
about in the life of the nations which took
part in the war brought before the psy-
chiatrists the question what effect these
experiences had on mental health. Sur
prisingly, some results have been found
in addition to the increase caused by neu-
roses due to the war and which have al
most entirely disappeared. 1t was found
that the scarcity of alcohol had inordi-
nately good results for the masses, and
made good at least part OF the injury
OF the war.
Bavaria is beer country. Before the
war there were 1857 breweries. During
the war the number of breweries de-
creased about 1000 but were replaced by
private breweries making beer for the in
dividual home. The per capita consump-
ton of beer before the war was 232 liters,
as compared with 1921 in Germany as a
whole In 1918 it was reduced to 1888
liters, but because of the decreased alec
holic content it was not much more than

the Greatest Drinking World
Go One-haf Per Cent Beer Basis During Decrease
in Mental Diseases; Crime Drunkenness Startling
NOW ON BASIS; MILLION MARKS DAILY BEER BILL
Per Capita Expendi-
for Beer 6o32 Country Again Deuged With Beer; Free
dom From Alcoholism Only Salvation Says Kraepelin


Little wine and brandy is used in Ba-
varia as compared with beer, but even the
production of brandy decreased half dur
ing the war Production of malt sank
from 81 1898 to 9,012, 800 marks; that
of brandy from 7,297,927 to 3,005,46
marks. The amount of capital invested in
breweries decreased markedly.
Alcoholism Cases and Infant Mortality
Decrease
"The results were seen in the health of
the people, but the entire picture can not
be given because physicians did not re-
port diseases caused by alcohol separately
from those caused by other things. How
ever we found that in Bavarian hospitals
the number admitted for alcoholism and
delirium tremens decreased from 2,508 in
1910-19l3 to 40 in 1915-191S Especially
pleasing was the fact that the infant NOR
tality which is especially high in Bavaria,
and in spite of the unfavorable situation
with respect to food in 1o16-17, decreased
slightly. Perhaps this was because the
bad practice of giving nursing mothers
and infants themselves beer was abolished
to some degree. The number of deaths
caused by alcoholism was LAO per 10000
OF the inhabitants in 1912; LIS in 1913;
1915 to 1913 074 0.55, 0.38, 028. The
number OF suicides traceable to alcohol
ism decreased from 140 in l911-13 to AZ
from 19l5-18. The share of alcoholism
in the suicides among the civil popula-
ton was 40 per cent in 19l1-15, as COM
pared with 085 per cent in 1o16-18.
Causes Mental Disturbance
"The number of cases in which alco-
holism figured in mental disturbances is
higher for both sexes in Bavaria than in
entire Germany GAS per cent vs.. 1873 per
cent for men, 81 per cent VS.. IL per cent
for the women), an important considera-
ton when we think of the oft-repeated
statement that beer is food. OF the adj
missions to Bavarian institutions for the
insane alcoholism was cause in 5.515
cases from 1910-13; from 1915-18, 1922.
The decrease with the men was 77.6 per
cent, with the women 685 per cent. Here
it is said that the absence of men in the
army Caused d uGClGdSCs vi 1OO ludlS
insane admitted in 1912, 31.2 could be
traced to abuse of alcohol; in 1913, 27.9;
in 1915, 10.2; 1916, IS; 1917, 40; 1918, as
per cent. For the female admissions the
numbers are 90 and o. per cent for 1912
10, and later 25, 2.2, 1S and p per cent.
In 1914 there were 1921 alcoholics in in
situations per 10000 inhabitants; in 1913,
only sos, while the general admissions,
at least among women, decreased only
slightly.
Marked Decrease in Crime
"The number of divorces caused by
gross abuse dropped about one-half, CIV
ing an idea of the role played by drink
in breaking marriages.
During the war the crimes due to al
cohol in three districts, Munich / and II
and Traunstein, which numbered 5,262
persons in four years, decreased to 40
for 19l5-l8 or "a per cent. All crimes
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-05-01
Cost of Poverty Decreased

"Dr. Kreiner states that the cost of
caring for drinkers i'll institutions from
1G0o-1S was about So million gold marks.
About the same number of cases of ILL
ness due to alcohol without actual a1co-
holism and an equal number of alcoholics
cared for in hospitals are to be added to
the above. At least II per cent OF these
admitted to institutions were cared for
at public expense, SO the heavy cost of
caring for drink-caus poverty is indi-
Gated. To this should be added the loss
of wages, about 1915 million gold marks.
Not included in this figure is the cost of
care and loss of wages in many other
cases of illness, blue Mondays, labor turn
over, accidents (more numerous among
drinkers), fines for crimes and misde-
meanors, the necessary support of fam
lilies, the injury to neglected and sub
normal children. The decrease in drink
ing during the war was so beneficial, as
shown by Investigations, even though not
complete.
Million Marks Daily for Beer
Attention should also be called to the
fact that the Bavarian people spent from
1906-18 for beer $3.50, $4,000, and from
1915-18, only 1892, $4,000 marks. OF
this amount two-hfths is due to excessive
use of beer, if one allows each adult man
one liter and each woman one-fourth liter
per day. Kreiner points out that the sum
paid out for beer from 1906-14 would
have sufficed to pay the state debt of Ba-
varia amounting to 2,592 million marks
and in addition per,hlt the expenditure of
almost a billion marks for civic purposes.
The daily expenditure for beer of the Ba-
varian people is a million marks. Before
the war the amount of taxes was between
1910 millions, while at the same time the
expenditure for beer was between 70-140
millions. The per capita taxation in 1913
was 1886 marks while the per capita ex-
penditure for beer was 60.32; in 1918 these
sums were 1000 and 4233 marks re-
spectively.
Effect on Mental Diseases
"The most misunderstanding and sig
nifcant effects of alcohol are in the men
Tai realm, SO one WOulQ expect the TeQuC-
ton of its consumption to have marked
influence in mental diseases. DR.. Schenck
reports on the admissions of alcoholics
in the Munich psychiatric clinic during
1910 to 1921. The number of men adj
mitted was curtailed because the clinic
was over-crowded In 1913 the admis-
sions were 1873; 1915, %; 1916, 80; 1917,
80; 1913, 10; to rise in the following years
to "a, q, 137. Judging from the admis-
sions in the first four months of 1922, the
admissions will equal those before the war
or even exceed them. The ratio of male
alcoholic admissions to total male admis-
sions was 1913, 17.2 per cent; 1915, Il
per cent; 1916, 5.3 per cent; 1917, A per
cent 1918, "a per cent; 1919, 49, per cent;
1920, o. per cent; 1921, 1877 per cent and
will probably reach 21.5 per cent in 1922,
from present indications.
