Shumaker Raps Doctors

Shumaker kapS UOCtOFS
Change the professors in the med
ical school of Indiana University
if they teach that whisky is a med
icine.
This was the stand of the Rev.
E. S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Sa-
loon League superintendent today
as he discussed the declaration OF
DR.. c. C. Rayl of Decatur, Ind,
that he prescribed whisky for At
torney General Arthur L. Gilliom's
sister several months ago upon
knowledge gained in the State med
ica1 school.
Dean Explains
"I can not believe that Indiana
University teaches this, but if it
does do the only thing I can say
is change teachers" declared Shu-
maker.
students in the medical college
of Indiana University are taught
that whisky as a medicine is de-
sirable, but not Indispensable" DR..
Charles Emerson, dean, said.
although it is not used in the
college, yet the students are given
full instructions for its use. In
case Of a sudden collapse whisky
is a stimulant. However, we do
not recommend either its continued
or frequent USE"
Can you visualize a case where
the use of whisky might save hui
man life?" Dean Emerson was ask
ed.
mo, I cannot, because we teach
the students to use almost any other
kind Of remedy instead.
Clinics Use None
Whisky, of course, is desirable
in event that the attending ply
sician is treating a continual user
of this stimulant, because his sys-
tenn responds more rapidly to it
than to any other medicine that
may be given"
Dean Emerson said that no wills
ky is used in clinical work at the
college.
Neither DR.. Rayl or any other
person is above the laws of this
great commonwealth and If he does
hold himself above them then he
is guilty of anarchy the Anti-Sa-
loon League head shouted.
mo great physician holds that
whisky is a medicine; instead OF
stimulating it depresseS.
Says Rayl Guilty, Too
"There were two bottles of whisky
brought to the hospital, what hap
pened to the other bottle is the
question" he declared.
Both Gilliom and Rayl are guilty
of violating this great law, the for
mer for transporting the liquor and
the latter for not filling a proper
prescription and both should be
punished.
"Dr. Rayl had no business to ex-
pertinent with the patient. He COM
mitted crime in doing this and
augmented the nature of it when
he violated a law to do so"
Denies He Backed Jury
"At the present we don't think
it necessary to try to obtain the
passage of a law forbidding the
teaching in the medical school Of
the university that, whisky is a
medicine" Shumaker said.
II don't believe that the instruc-
tors teach such thing, despite
what some may say"
Shumaker countered with a uues-
ton when given the statement of
John G. Kelley, Adams County at
torney, that the Anti-Saloon League
is at the bottom of the action to
indict Gilliom for bringing the
whisky to the hospital.
Can he (Kelley) show that eth
er myself or. any member of my
Office approached him to indict Gil
hom?
None Of us, to my knowledge.

Shumaker commended that when
whisky was prescribed patient at
Geneva, Ind, the man died-"prov-
ing that whisky is not the curative

growth requiring careful culture.
1t withers in the presence of fear
Many a man is defeated before
he starts. He looks at a job and
as he contemplates it the job
grows bigger and he grows smaller
Frequently the upshot is that he
does not tackle the job at all. He
does not admit to himself that he
is afraid of the job, he tells him
self something to the effect that
he is not going to make fool of
himself by biting off more than
he can chew.
In my college days | played foot
ball and l believe l got almost as
much out of my activities on the
gr1diron as out of the university
courses. The big thing that a man
discovers in football or any other
hard game is that men are just
men-that if you are afraid, the
other fellow is undoubtedly just as
much afraid; that if you are tired
and would like to quit, the other
fellow is just as tired and would
also like to quit; that although
some men are better players than
other men, the best of them are
not supermen, and that if you
tackle the fastest man in the
country just above the knee you
will stop him just as surely as you
would the slowest man. Thus you
learn in competitive sports that no
matter how scared you are you
must never show it.

DUEL OF THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. STILL COBBING AROUNI
THE SEASONS FIRST FISH STORY
BY PHILIP MARTIN

WITH the parade of apple
w Knockers from dugout to
plate well under way, several
large questions pop into the
minds of the turnstile-turners.
Baseball intelligentsia the length
and breadth OF the land begins to
perk up and ask about things.
One of the favorite issues be-
fore the assembly this season
seems to rest upon the various
batting abilities of two fellows
who. If not young. certainly
haven't taken to the rockers just
yet. The two ash-swingers under
debate are Babe Ruth and Mr..
McGraw's new second baseman,
Rogers Hornsby.
Who'll break up the most ball
games? Who'll get the most home
suns? Who'll win in the race for
batting honors?
Echo and the scribes will an

tic of October. Meanwhile
For the six years. 1920-26,
Hornsby led the National League
in batting with grand average
of .397-the best six.year average
ever put down. And that's figur-
ing the bad year-1926-when
illness dulled his glamour.
Ruth has a twelve-year batting
average of .349. He has $50
homers to his credit in those
years. and pitchers have slipped
him the Annie Oakleys 1880
times. A formidable average
considering the homers and the
walks. He hopes to make 1t 400

Pleasantville blew up in the

JOSEPH w. WALKER.

This is the first fish story of
the year, as reported at the fire
house a few days ago.
1t seems that two of the Helfrich
brothers, Ed. and Joe, started out
in the bay to enjoy day of fish
ing. Just on what date all of this
happened is unknown to the writer,
but it was few days ago.
Arriving at what they thought
would be good place, Joe, who
was rowing, asked his brother to
throw the anchor overheard.
Over she went, and PUNK, down
to the muddy bottom. And then
both noticed that the boat kept on
going, and discovered the end of
the anchor roap floating some
distance away, on the surface of
the water. 1t had never been tied
to the boat.
To fish where the brothers
were an anchor was necessary,
SO they started to paddle over
to get he rope, which con-
tinued to float.
Minus the anchor and one oar
they started with, and without any
fish or CLAIMS of any description,
they started homeward.
Rumors were about the fire
house that they visited one of the
fish markets in the city before
they returned to their home.
