HOu Alcohol Acts Upon the System

very suggestive type, and the idea
that they have inherited the ten.
dency will assist them considerably
on the downward path.
The alcoholic tendency In hered-
ity Is not toward alcoholism but to.
ward that neurotic constitution
which tdrns to alcohol as q seda-
tive, and ii is mostly formed by the
parents Of the addict during his in.
fancy.
Alcohol does not excite. When
4 person appears to be excited by
alcohol it ig because his higher
control centers have been desensi.
tized and his repressed or uncon.
scious desires and tendencies are
allowed to come out.
The value Of alcohol, conceded
even by Bousfield, is that 1t reduces
states of tension, either physical
or psychic.
We all live in q state OF tension,
but some of us are less able to bear
It than others. This tension is
plants, responsibility. uninterest-
Ing OCCupdt1Ons uuSOIVeQ psychic
conflicts. impotence, etc.
The tendency to alcoholism Is
really tendency to get rid Of this
tensions,
Here begins q vicious circle.
The addict starts by taking alcohol
in moderation and then, unless re"
strained by intelligent inhibition,
ACQUIRES the habit Of reducing ten
sion at every possible opportunity.
He then begins to get frightened
of alcohol. The fear creates more
tension and he takes more alcohol
to, drown, 1t. TIE more strenuously
he fights the more he takes.
The physical treatment chiefly
aims at substituting for the alco-
holic sense of well.being q sound
feeling of well-being and by elimin-
ating the gastritis which is often
part of the vicious circle.
Psychic treatment must aim at
removing the patients fear Of the
habit, showing him the real origin
of it aad helping him to solve his
problem, and by removing harmful
suggestions about heredity; in other
words, by restoring his confidence

and is. therefore, a stimulant.
There Is a natural physiological
demand for such q stimulant
among peoples of all lands.
Alcohol in large quantities is,
however, a sedative, never a mar
cotic, and to designate it by the
latter term. as does Bousfield, is
sheer recklessness of statement.
These statements by me are
not to be taken as a license for
the unrestricted consumption Of
alcohol as a beverage. The sc.
cret Of the universal attraction Of
alcohol is the sense that it gives
Of careless well-being or Of bodily
and mental comfort.
A part Of this is due to q flush
ing Of the skin with blood and
the abolition Of all sense Of chill,
but most Of it Is due to blunt
ing of the sensibility of the small
aches and pains and the thousand
minute pinpricks which, except
to those in perfect health, make
life unpleasant.

ON CHOOSING
THE CHILD'S
PLAYMATE
By i. Lamar Matthewss


DEITY had disappeared from
ID sight, but nobody was alarmed.
''She IS probably playing with
those wretched Taylor children. =
declared her mother. Every chance
she gets she runs off to their
house.
And that Is exactly where Betty
was. But she was soon called home
and told to stay there.
4 don't see why YOU object e
Mamie and Ruth, she child proc
tested. Just because they are
poor is no reason why You should
keep ne away from them. Thew
are good children and they never
talk ugly"
1T isn't that they are poor, It's
their Inbred ways, stated the
mother You are picking up their
little tacky expressions. You even
twist your mouth and roll you'll
eyes Just az they do, and you arks
getting q tWang in your voice that
sounds Like theirs.
''WeIl, win stop that II you win
let me 20 back and play with
Them Betty promised.
Mrs. Beach was a wise mother
who tried to keep her daughters.
confidence. That Is why she al.
ways tried to make Betty uriderg
stand the reason for commando
or vetoes So she thought q few
seconds end then asked:
Would you like to have me visit
Mrs. Taylor? Would you be glad
II invited her to sit with me or.
the front porch this afternoon
No. mother. don't think you
would like that" Betty answered
quickly.
X might. You like her children.4
She must be q good woman, Il her
little girls are good
Well. / think she ii good but
she Is she well. she doesn't know
how to act and she doesn't talk al,
eyou do. She just isn't your kind,s
Mother. 2 the child said earnestly.
Now you have told yourself
exactly why do not wish you
to play with the little Taylors. = q
declared the mother You can
never associate with your interiors /
without having some Of ii rub off
on you. I want you to be kind
and polite to Mamie and Ruth
but you must not play with them
as you have been doing
So that was settled. And be-
fore the week was over Betty was
engrossed IN q friendship with &
child whose training and environ
ment were similar to her own.
This matter Of associates Is one
that confronts every mother.
Children have mania for picking :
out the wrong kind OF play
mates. They like to play with
their interiors. It gives them -
feeling OF Importance and usually +
enables them to dominate every
situation.
1t Is just one OF those things
that have to be watched and dealt
with according to circumstances.
There is no set rule or remedy.
But do not blame the child too
much for this seeming preverse-
ness. Do not become angry and
impatient. Use tact and judge
ment and kindness. Give enough
time and thought to the matter
to switch his interest to some
amusement or some other assoc
ciate that Is more desirable.

i the most beautiful thing an
amiable Intelligence has created

bewiIdered humanity.

felt that couldn't go on. In
fact I didn't intend to go on. And
then my friend lent a hand. It
made all the difference"
That's it, you see. It makes
all the difference!
BUT
Even the Helping Hand must
be wise in the helpfulness. Folks
resent assistance they don't need.
They are offended by aid forced
upon them.
Excepting In cases Of emer-
gency it is a very good rule to
be sure the help you want to
give is desired before you offer
it.
The too constant and INTACT
full supervision of another's af-
fairs passes for officiousness.
: You've met the too-ready type of
person here and there and your
reaction, no doubt, has been the
usual one; the thought, "Why
can't he-or she-let me alone?'
The fact Of the matter IL that

rob US.
