VALUED SERVICE

League appreciate the many-sided service
which we render the state. People who
are interested in the prohibition question
from various angles, come to US from
time to time and receive assistance. but
few understand how many angles there
are to this question and how great the
demands that are made upon the Anti
Saloon League.
Among our varied services, that of our
Legal Department is among the least
known and most useful. This department
is headed by Mr.. Joseph II. Collier. a
highly trained consulting attorney His
department prepares bills for the egisla-
ture keeps in touch with the Law En-
forcement interests, and advises with
Prosecuting attorneys. prepares digests of
court decisions bearing upon the legal
aspects OF Prohibition, and in many other
ways, performs a large service for the
League.
Among these activities, it has been
his custom to send monthly bulletins to
States attorneys. containing suggestions
about prosecutions and summary of re-
cent decisions at court bearing upon the
Prohibition question.
Just how much these bulletins are val
ued, may be gathered from the following
words of appreciation received from vari-
GUS county attorneys:

THE VERDICT OF SCIENCE

Alcohol never acts as stimulant to
the brain, the spinal cord, or the nerves.
The increased activity of thought and
speech is not due to stimulation but TO de-
preston of the inhbitory nervous appa-
ratus. The activity is, therefore, that caus-
ed by lack of control and is not real in
crease OF energy.-Dr Robert A. Hare,
Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia.
| am bound to believe in the light of
what science has revealed by taking al
cohol habitual1y that: Q) you are tan
gibly threatening the physical structures
of your stomach, your liver, your kidneys,
your heart, your bood-vessels, your
nerves, your brain; ~ that you are I'M
equivocally decreasing your capacity for
work in any field be it physical intellect

The basis of ntemperance is the effort

Men destroy their nervous system for the
tingling pleasure they feel as its struc-
lures are torn apart-Dr. David Starr
