126. 900 ALCOHOLIC DEATHS

Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner of New
York city, declares in the current North American Re-
view that the nations list Of deaths due alcohol this
year will exceed 10000. The mortality rate from
drink. he says instead Of declining with the advance
Of prohibition, is actually gaining.
The greater number Of these Deaths says Dr. Norris,
are due to what we call poison liquor" They come
because all liquor being marketed contains highly
injurious elements which, in the long run, have an
extremely harmful effect on the health.
Statistics, adds DR.. Norris do not show the increase
in deaths due to alcoholism, because most private
physicians will not list alcoholism on death certificate
But he insists that his estimate is accurate
Dr. Norris figures, to say the least are not exactly
reassuring.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Removing Wrinkles

Question: H. X. asks: "Can you
suggest good prescription for re-
moving wrinkles ?. Il don't know what
to buy, as there are so many remov-
ers from which to choose"
Answer: 1t is dangerous to use
preparations for removing wrinkles
except as they are use by trained
cosmetician. Sometimes liquid prep
arations are used, and others use
peeling induced by burning of the
ultra violet light. Massage treat.
ment can then be given to the skin
and ice applied several times daily
to produce good blood circulation.
The very small wrinkles can be al
most entirely removed by such meth
DDS, but Of course the large ones
cannot be changed except by facial
surgery, and the final results of this
method are very disappointing.
Watch for the articles appearing to-
morrow and Wednesday.
Rancid Butter
Question: Hazel asks: "What
causes the rancidity Of butter? And
is there any method of making it
fresh again?
Answer: The bitter taste of ran
cid butter is caused by butyric acid
which has formed. This acid can be
removed to large extent by thor
oughly washing the butter in fresh
milk which 2bsorbs the butryic acid.
After this, the butter should be-
mixed with water to remove the .milkbA
High Blood Pressure
Question: Mr.. X. D. writes: 81
am 80 years old, fairly we'll pre-
served, and weigh 1855 pounds, but
my blood pressure is far too high.
Have dizzy feeling and abnormal
heart action. Now please tell me
if high blood pressure could kill with
out my heart giving warning of ap-
preaching danger"
Answer: Abnormally high blood
pressure, when it reaches the dan
gerous stage, may give warning by
pain and oppression in the heart
region; difficult breathing, faintness,
a dull stupor, delirium, etc., but it
usually strikes like a snake in the
dark. I have written special
article on high blood pressure and

BROAD.MINDED

Statistics can always be argued from different points
of view Yet the temptation to collect and daily with
them persists. For example the publcs reception Of
recent book is cited by the publishers proof that
America is q tolerant land.
i has been the fashion to represent the people Of the
United States narrowmnded and nolerant Of views
which differ with their own. Yet here was book
dealing with socialistic theme and distributed to
5000 persons without sociastic tendencies which did
not provoke from those readers letter Of indignant
criticism. The verdict that America is broad
minded nation.
Il may Be true; it probably is true. But Mencken,
Lewis and others toward whom the triumphant shout

from these same figures exactly to the contrary.

THE POVERTY OF WEALTH

"Our wealth has made us rich and left US poor and
It has increased power and destroyed peace"
This statement comes from report adopted by the
Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Coming, it does, on
the heels of 5000 days the stock exchange

We have grown into rather peculiar attitude in
the past decade. Despite the fact that good many
citizens have had to go hungry at various times in
that period, have been, the whole, very pros
porous. Gorgeous buildings have shot up in every
city. The number Of automobiles has increased ire

fallen into the habit Of Judging everything hard

USE RAW CABBAGE

The amount OF cabbage consumed
throughout the world is enormous.
Of all vegetables, only the potato
exceeds it in popularity. Indeed, in
many parts Of the world cabbage
is practically the only fresh vege-
table obtainable during the winter
months.
While raw cabbage is quite a
wholesome vegetable, the cooking
process seems to make the sulphur
compounds Of cabbage peculiarly
volatile, causing cooked cabbage to
be Q great gas producer.
There il art in the selection of the
choicest cabbage. Properly selected
cabbages are young, crisp, and as
fresh % possible. The exterior
leaves should present a green ap-
pearance. Unfortunately cabbage
may remain crisp for several months
after being picked, and if the outer
leaves are removed can be made to
appear fresh for several weeks;
however, the longer cabbage has
been kept the more gas-forming it
becomes.
When properly selected and eaten,
cabbage furnishes a valuable bulk
to the intestines and is rich in vita
Minis.
Cabbage should be avoided by
those with asthmatic or flatulent
tendencies. The cabbage family
contains a number of related vege-
tables such as brussels sprouts, cauli-
flower, kale, kohlrabi, collards, red
cabbage and savory cabbage. These
are all wholesome, but like the cab
bage are gas-forming.
Sauerkraut is cabbage preserved
by cutting the fresh heads into fine
shreds and mixing with salt in bar
rels or crooks and allowing the mix
ture to ferment. Because Of the
large amount of salt the general
use of sauerkraut is not advisable,
but it may be used occasionally when
fresh vegetables are not obtainable.
It is slightly cathartic because of
the excessive amount of salt. Sauer-
kraut should be washed to remove
the surplus salt. Here are a few
recipes for preparing cabbage which
you may find interesting:
Tomatoes Stuffed with Cabbage
Remove the centers from toma-
toes, leaving the shell intact. After
cutting a, raw cabbage into small
pieces, run through a vegetable
chopper and mix with grated small
carrots, finely chopped celery, the
tomato pulp and olive oil. Mix well
and place in tomato shells. If this
