REV. A. c. DIXON, NOTED
BAPTIST DIVINE, DEAD
End Comes In Baltimore-Was Fa-
ther Of Thomas And Frank
Dixon, Both Known Here

Rev. A. c. Dixon, a noted Baptist
Divine, of Baltimore, died this week,
aged about 70 years.
The Dixon family is a noted one.
Possibly this community knows it best
through Thomas Dixon. This author
and orator has appeared before POGO
moke audiences many times, and has
always been considered a wonderful
speaker. He was very fond Of the
water, and had a yacht guilt at the
shipyard of the late E. James Tull.
He is the author of many works of
fiction, of which, probably the most
popular was "The Leopard Spots."
Frank Dixon earned an enviable
reputation as Chautauqua lecturer.
He died only a short while ago.
The Rev. A. C. Dixon was pastor
of the University Baptist Church,
Baltimore, and died at the Union Me-
mcrial Hospital in that city, on Sun
day last.
DR.. Dixon assumed his charge at
the University Baptist Church in
1921 and took an important part in it's
founding and was it's first pastor.
DR.. Dixon was one of the most dis
tinguished Baptist clergymen in the
world, according to those who were
familiar with his life and his work
He was one of those natives of the
South who saw the "carpet-bagger'
come into the country and try to en-
plot it.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, the father, was
a Baptist clergyman who lived in
North Carolina during the Civil Wa1
period. Beyond question this Dixon
family is distinguished American
family.
Favoring the League of Nations
and the abolition of the use of arms
DR.. Dixon upbraided the United
States "for shirking its responsibility
through stupid policy of isolation. u

CARBON D|OX|DE
SURE CUREFOR
ALCOHOLISM
Physicians Find Remedy in
Gas That Puts Bubbles in
Soft Drinks

BOSTON, Mass, March 5.-Car-
the bubbles in bottled carbonated
| beverages-is a sure remedy for
alcoholism, according to Doctors
T. F. Hunter and s. G. Mudd, Of
this city, who have been conduct
ing a series Of experiments to test
its efficacy.
The man who invented, the
"highbaIl" or other OF the once
more or less popular drinks where
in alcoholic liquor was mixed with
carbonated beverage, probably
"builded better than he knew" say
these Boston scientists. They re-
port that they have speedily re-
suscitated persons unconscious
from alcohol, and have prevented
nausea or hangover" and other
symptoms of intoxication, by ad-
ministering carbon dioxide.
The principle Is the same applied
by Doctors Yandell Henderson and
Howard w. Haggard, Of Yale Uni
versity, inventors of the H.-H. In
halator which is widely and effec-
lively used for resuscitating victims
Of carbon monoxide poisoning. 1t
is based on the fact that the res
piratory center, at the base Of the
brain, which controls the rate of
breathing, while insensitive to
oxygen, or to lack Of oxygen, is
extremely sensitive to any increase
in the carbon dioxide in the blood
Bottled carbonated beverages,
scientists says, are beneficial to vic
tins of carbon monoxide, or suf-
ferers from alcoholism, because OF
the carbon dioxide they contain
which stimulates respiration and
causes a more active ventilation OF
the blood In the lungs. This tends
to remove any volatile substance
such as alcohol, ether, carbon mon
oxide, etc. Headache Is thus pre-
vented.
