ALCOHOLIC WASTE, NEFFICIENCY AND INCOMPETENCE
The Changed Changing Conditions This Country
Effects of Alcohol the Body, Makes Prohibition

greater the effect. So, when a man
says to you that he can take three or
four drinks without its affecting him,
it may be true, but it is not very COM
plimentary to him.
There is another reason. We men
and women of America are not tenn
perate people. We might as we'll be
honest with ourselves. 1t is a fact that
we may think we are following the
Scriptural injunction Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might" We throw ourselves into any
thing we do or undertake until we
overdo it.
All this talk about light wines and
beers is pure, unadulterated bunk, and
the people who are doing the talking
about it do not want it. They do not
want light wines and beers. They
want whisky and they want it straight.
They want cocktails and highballs and
whisky sours and mint julep. I come
from Kentucky and know.

ANOTHER DAY OF PRAYER
Chicago's Churches Again Call for "Po-
itical Prayer Day" to Redeem City
From Crooks

Another day of political prayer"
has been designated for statewide
observance in Illinois by the pastors.
Sunday, March 25, was the day fixed
by the Methodist Board of Public
Morals for prayer and pulpit discus
sion of the political situation il the
state. In its resolution setting the
day the board urged the ministers to
devote part Of their sermons to a plea
for united front FOR good govern
ment, with special plea for a large
church vote on April 10 in the pri-
mary election.
The Chicago Church Federation
which sponsored the day of political
prayer on March II, issued a call upon
churchmen to suit their action to
their prayers. "Our prayers will be
hollow mockery," said Rev. John R.
Nichols, president, "if church people
now fail to register and VOTE"

PROMOTING FRUIT JUICES

Switzerland in Effort to Interest People
In Use of Unfermented Fruit Juices
In Switzerland every year greater
efforts are being made to popularize
the preparation of non-fermented ap-
pie and pear juice. This preparation
is carried out in private households, in
small number of industrial establish
mentS, and by means of machines
which are carried from village to vii
1age and which are used for sterilizing
fruit juices. These machines are plac-
ed at the disposition of the public by
the BerneSe Society for the Non-Aleo-
holic Use Of Fruits, and circulated last
autumn in $50 localities of the cantonS
of Berne, Solure, Argovie, Bale, Zurich
and Grisons, and produced over $780,
900 literS of sweet cider.
The non alcoholic cider prepared by
the travelling apparatus represents on
ly part of the total production of
sweet cider. One can readily under
stand, therefore, that the Swiss tenn
perance societies consider that this
new industry is doing much to win
over the rural population to the fight
against alcoholism.

SEATTLE CHANGES MAYORS
Mrs Landes Is Defeated for Reelection;
Gave City Clean Administration

Mrs. Bertha K Landes, who two
years ago was chosen by the voters of
Seattle, Wash, to be the first woman
to manage the deStinieS of an Ameri-
can metropolitan city, was defeated in
a recent mayoralty election by 10000
votes. Frank Edwards, retired the
alter operator, was the successful can
didate
Mrs, LandeS gave the city Of Seattle
a clean administration. The affairs of
the city were conducted in a business
like manner. She had the support of
all the newspapers in her candidacy
for reelection. Edwards was almost
politically unknown until few weeks
ago. If he made any promises for
Wide-open city or less vigorous pros
ecution of eVil-dOerS, the newspapers
have not mentioned it. Mrs. LandeS'
defeat perhaps can be credited more
to prejudice against women holding
executive offices than anything else.
Whatever the cause of her defeat it is
unfortunate, irrespective of what Mr..
Edwards qualifications for the Office
might be.

HAWAIIAN DRY ORATORS
Five or Six Races Represented in Orator.
cal Contest Held Under League
SDonSorShin

Hawaii has been spoken of many
times as the melting pot of the United
States. Each year the Anti-Saloon
League of Hawaii conducts a prohibi-
ton prize oratorical contest. Each
year, also, five or six races and mix
lures of races are represented in the
young people who take part.
This year there were eight contest
ants, two from each island in the Ha-
waiian group. The w c. It. U. and Sal
walton Army are also represented in
the conducting of the contest.
This year the winner was Miss Thel-
ma Smith, who spoke on the subject
''The Great Adyenturer." Other con-
teStantS were: Isami Takemoto, Mary
Chan Wa, George Ozaki, Donald Walk
er, Edith Peterson, Masao Nakano, Ka-
quo Morinaga. All phases of prohibit
ton were discussed by these young

IDLY. The social implications of indi-
vidual action are wholly different in
the two situations. A man getting
drunk in his farm home, or driving
along a country road with mules or
oxen going six miles an hour, was not
so serious. The mules or the oxen
would take him home. But now, in
sixty miles an hour world, with
crowded communities, the drunken
hand on the wheel has a wholly diff
ferent social implication. There you
find one of the reasons why society
has had to relieve the community from
the danger and menace of alcoholic
waste poisoning, inefficiency and in
competency.
DEMANDS OF A MECHANICAL AGE
There is another reason. We are the
greatest mechanical and engineering
people in the world. Power under con-
trol-for that is all an automobile is
has more devices in this country than
in any other nation in the world.
Thirty years ago we made rule that
locomotive engineers in this country
could not drink; they had to be tee
totalers. Nobody wanted to limit the
personal liberty of locomotive engi1l-
GERS, but everybody knew that locomo-
tive engineers, whose business it was
to protect life and property, could not
do SO if they were drinking engineers.
That condition which was necessary
thirty years ago has now, by reason Of
the diffusion of mechanical and en-
cheering power throughout the mass
of the people, become necessary for
the whole people, to protect the life
and property of all of us.
There is another reason-the diffu-
sion of a better standard of living, of
a larger means Of recreation and Of
personal happiness in material sense.
The spread of general education has
been greater in those thirty years than
in any other previous period in the
worlds life. The part that liquor play
ed in the social life and habits of the
people has been wholly changed, so far
as the necessity for it is concerned,
within the thirty years. These thirty
years have seen the widest diffusion
OF general intelligence, the widest diff
fusion of general recreation, the COM
ing of the movie, the radio, the Ford
car, giving all kinds of opportunity for
a better type of recreation. These
things have changed the burden and
necessity of artificial stimulation SO
far as the vast mass of the people is
concerned.

EFFECT OF ALCOHOL

And side by side with that education
has gone on another education. We
have learned the effect of alcoholic
stimulation and poison upon the hui
man body. We have learned that it is
injurious in every way. A group Of
Germans have been studying the eff
fects of alcoholic stimulation on men
and women and in a unanimous re-
port which they have made they tell
us that it has the effect of DETECTING
the accuracy of the message sent by
the brain along the nerves to the mus
cles, so that a fine marksman shot a
little off after he had had drink or
two; and that fine craftsman drew
his lines little irregular after he had
had drink or two. And peculiar
thing in that study by the Germans
was this, that the lower the type or
the more phlegmatic or stolid the sub
ject, the less the effect; and the more
sensitive and higher the nervous ten
sion, the higher the type of mind, the

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. 4. Reed

VoU. IT an elderly person. may
reasonably entertain hope
for that degree Of reiuyenation
that viii enable you to be pro-
ductlvely useful while extending
your span OF life.
After careful study Of the sub
ject Schneider assures US. through
the Medical Review or Reviews,
that rejuvenation through obey

hygience Ii within the reach of
everyone today. In the first place

ance of adequate germ plasm IL
a gift which we can make to the
next generation. We can do this
by abandoning the "hit and miss"
method Of mating as soon as pos
sible. But since short cuts always
appeal most, it Is regeneration by
specific gratis or injections which
arouse the principal interest.
1t may be said that the Injection
of the extract of germ secreting
glands, by Stanley's method,
brings about a marked physical
tendency towards restoration to
the normal. Associated with this
restoration, we are assured. is in
creased immunization to the more
common infections, and general
bodily improvement. Reports
from reliable sources show that
these changes are most marked in
the aged and in the debilitated, the
badly.nourished and the physically
impoverished. The reports like
wise indicate that there Ii also
marked tendency towards restora-
ton to the normal in mental as

degree of deviation from the nor

The effects do not usually APP
pear for several months except
for a brief feeling of happiness and
general stimulation just after the
injection. There is said to he a
marked tendency to restore waning
or excessive sex functions to the
normal.
Apparently, says Schneider, we
have a means for prolonging the
active period of life, physical as
well ne mental by not less than 90
per cent. Invalidism will be de-
creased and the life span from 40
to 20 and beyond made useful ana
