SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

by LIZ Ns AO LIE NGGU-
VOUR attention is arrested al
L most daily by reports Of
deaths from poisoned prohibition
whiskey.
DR.. Charles Norris, chief medi-
cal examiner to Mayor Walker. of
New York, explained to the Amer
lean Medical Association how the
appalling number of deaths from
prohibition alcohol occur. The
reported deaths, he said, are nu.
merous enough, but the unre-
ported must outnumber them by
many times. It IS recognized also
that alcohol is responsible for all
kinds of accidents-falls, auto col
lisions, gas poisoning, homicides
and the like, and the worse the
alcohol, presumably, the more fre.
Quent the accidents.
The principal cause Of the
deaths, Of course, is the use of
denatured alcohol in the manu-"
facture of this prohibition whis-
key. "Denaturing" is adding
some substance to alcohol in order
to make it too unpalatable to
drink. The chemicals most often
used for this purpose are wood or
methyl alcohol and substances
known as diethylhaIate and pyri-
dine.
In addition to these, regulation
81 of the United States Treasury
allows cadmium iodide, mercury,
salts, benzine, gasoline, bonzol,
nicotine, ether, chlorofornn, formal
dehyde, camphor. nitrobenzol. car
bolic acid and the various aniline
ernment, established by the people
for their own protection, should
"allow and such practice is, indeed,
startling.
Many Of these denaturants are
poisonous, even in small quanti-
ties. NitrobenZol, for instance, and
the aniline agents, are extremely
dangerous poisons, and 1t is diff
cult to understand why they are
permitted by law. Wood alcohol
was known as a poison for many
years before prohibition was en-
acted. It has a selective action on
the optic nerve and those who
drink 1t run a great risk OF becom-
ing blind. The Government, to
carry out the prohibition act, must
denature industrial alcohol, and to
do so must use chemicals which
make stable combination with,
alcohol so that they cannot. be
separated out by unscrupulous per.
sons. But it is not enough simply
thus to poison alsohol, even If the
low enforces the use of warning
labels. 1t is not fair. in fact it is
criminal, to expect the public to
protect itself by abstention from
being poisoned.
There are many denaturing
agents which. though quite harm-
less in reasonable quantities, are
so disgusting to the smell and
taste that only very hardy drink.
ers would touch them. Creosote
is one of these. 1t possesses a
most dreadful smell, but must be
taken in considerable amount be.
fore it does any grave harm.
Now, the dangers Of drinking
poisoned whiskey are of two
kinds. The immediate effects
may be bad enough. but the
after-effects are even worse.
Acute poisoning causes severe
illness; the victims friends give

wOman's idle Curiosity

WOman's idle" Curiosity
VERILY, like an ingrowing hair,
' is woman who seeketh to
penetrate a mans motives and to
learn what lieth beneath his skin
and his professional manner!
Yet, she is as a cinder in the
eye or thorn in the side, which
he longeth in vain to pluck OUT!
For man may cheerfully re.
veal the workings of his automo-. .
bile and Of his business office;
but the workings of his mind and
his heart he holdeth more sacred
than his Masonic secrets. And to
be asked the why" or the
wherefore" Of his words and
acts, tormenteth his soul!
Yet, as a ferret, doth an in
quisitive woman burrow into a
mans reserve and dig up his hid
den reticences. She filleth him
with rebellion and dismay!
For he knoweth in his heart he
is always guilty of SOMETHING;
and that whatsoever she may un.
earth, it shall be held against him.
Yet, whether it be an old love-
letter, a cherished sentiment in
the back of his consciousness, q
hidden bill in the back of his wal
let, or moth-eaten sweater in
the back of his clothes-closet, he
shall have to EXPLAIN it!
He is as a small boy waiting to

LO SANGELES, Cal, Oct. TO-
A beauty compact and silk under
wear can invariably be found in
the possessions of girls and women
on whom Jail doors close these days.
Love of finery and personal adorn-
ment are undoubtedly still the main
cause of a majority of feminine mis-
steps.
So says Minnie Barton, founder of
the unique open-do0r prison" here,
in which she is demonstrating a
new way to "serve sentence" for
wrong doing. She calls this haven
of any and all upon whom fortune
has frowned, "the womans traiing
home" But her work does not end
with offenders. She finds room,
even if it is only a place on the
hall floor, for any needy woman,
any time.
The home was established with a
very small beginning, to work out

ing feminine wayfarers. The in

most part, released by the court to

time on their simple promise of

Another Cause

ga girl, who has learned from
childhood what it means to assume
her share of life's responsibilities
and to know that humanity pays for
each and everything it gets, is far
less likely to fall by the wayside
than the feminine drone, who be-
lieves the world owes her a
livelihood.
That's why the home is a-buzz
all day with workers. Our chief con-
Germ is to inculcate in the inmates
a spirit of industry.
"a girl comes into the building
a perfect know-nothing. We intend
she shall go out of it equipped to
hold up her head, ask favors of no
one and be able to earn her own way
honorably."

Mothers Held
Hardest T0iIe1,S

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 10.-"The
most overworked and exploited
members of our society are the
working class mothers of two or
more children" declared Prof. Paul
H. Douglas of the University of Chi
cago here this morning at the con-
ference on Family Life in America
Today, attended by executives of
family welfare organizations from
all sections of the country.
1--WE have been concerned during
the last two decades with the pro-
lection of women who work in stores
and factories" Prof. Douglas said,
"but because of tneir isolation we
have tended to forget the lot of
mothers in the home and to ignore
TIE fact that kitchen stoves and
washtubs are worse tyrants than the
spindles and punch presses of in
dustry. Working class mothers of
two or more children, in general, cut
their consumption of food and
clothing far below that of their hus-
bands and their employed children
and have few of the diversions
which they enjoy. The protection
of these almost forgotten women is
one of the most pressing problems
of social reform"
Increases Divorce
Speaking on 1.-THE Changing Basis
of Family Support and ExpendS
itures," Prof. Douglas said: Indus
trialism has increased the age of
marriage; it has also increased di-
vorce. The range of employments
open to women makes it possible for
wives to leave their husbands and
to dissolve relationships which have
become irksome. 1t is primarily for
this reason that there is so much
more divorce in the cities than in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-10

the rural districts. The increasing
ability Of women to stand econom-
ically upon their own feet has in
turn made men more willing to
break off marriage ties"
"Sone of the effects which the
entrance of women in industry on
approximately the same terms as
men may have on marriage are
strikingly evidenced by the develop
mentS in Russia from which I have
just returned. Divorce there is pos
Sible virtually at the will of either
party, subject only to the provision
that if either later becomes econom-
ically dependent, then the other is
liable for support up to one-third
Of his or her income. A man, there
fore, cannot. safely be divorced more
than twice"
Family. Will Stay
"While the future may bring in
America great changes in family
relationships, it is idle to believe
that the family will disappear or
that its Importance will be greatly
leSSened. The gloomy prophets of
the dissolutionNof marriage err most
in forgetting the powerful forces
which operate toward the perma-
nency of relations between men and
women. They generally forget the
simple fact that even in an age of
birth control children are the nor
NAL consequence of marriage, and
that the care of children-with all
its acknowledgements parents will
not willingly conf1de to any insti-
tuition"
The overworking and exploitation
of mothers, Prof. Douglas attributed
not alone to existing wage scales,
but to the failure of husbands and
employed children to pool their
wages for the support of the family

there is no spot in the world they
can call theirs-even for a nights
rest. There are women whose hurt
hearts ache far more sorely than
their hurt feet.
Constructive good Unreasonable
has been achieved in this one build
ing. It's friendly beacon shines afar
and Minnie Barton goes on proving
there is another way beside Jail by
which to convert feminine drones
and unfortunates into self-respect-
ing, capable citizens.
