Says Alcoholic Drink Neither Pro-
notes Healthfulness Nor
Retards Disease
DIR. ARTHUR BEVAN SAYS
America is Not Consuming One
Tenth the Liquor That She Did
Before the Adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment

DR. Arthur Beydl. Chicago former
president of the American Medical Asso-
citation, and head of the department of
surgery at Rush Medical college, which
Is associated with the University of Chi
cago, one of the largest hospitals in the
city, declares that the greatest single fac
tor which can be construed in the interest
of the public health of the nation Is the
elimination of alcoholic drinL. He records
this conclusion arrived at after long eX-
perience in medical practice and study,
and is quoted by the American Business
Mems Prohibition Foundation as saying:
"Alcohohc drink neither promotes great
er healthfulncsS nor in anyway retardS
disease. The use of alcohol is unnecessary
TO the growth and maintenance of the
body. The continued daily use OF alcohol
is injurious. Persons addicted to the use
of alcohol are known TO show less resist
ancc in any acute disease and in opera
tions than temperate individuals.
Alcohol does not assist the body IN
resisting infections like those of pneu-
monia and Influenza but, on the contrary
1t makes the individual who drinks an
easier victim to these infections than one
who does not drink at all.
alcohol is not a desirable food nor is 1t
q desirable beverage, because it is mar
cotic. Alcohol is a habit-forming drug
drug TO which a very considerable per-
centage of the people are susceptible
The question of alcohol and civilization
Is a natural scientific problem. that must
finally be solved by natural scientific in
vestigati0n and the education of the peo-
pie.
1T is quite certain We are not con-
Stunning one-tcnth of the amount of alco-
holic liquors that VIC did in the days be-
fore prohibition 1 believe that the prohi-
bition law is being more and more eff
rectivcly enforced and at the end of the
present administration the amount of liq-
uor per capita will be reduced 10 less than
S per cent of the amount formerly con-
Sumcd.
1.-The whole world Is carrying this drink
problem on It's shoulders and today no
country is suffering less from drink than
we in the United States.
There can be no doubt that the great
est single factor that VIC can control in
the interests of the public health of the
nation would be the elimination of alco-
holic drink This Is not tyranny it is
evolution 1t Is natural science, it is civil
lization and civilization Is often COM

In fight to break down prohibition in
Maine in 1911, some 500 whisky soakS
were sent into Maine cities, according to
Rorpe7'S Weekly. They we're made drunk
and pushed out into the streets to dis
credit prohibition. DR.. Colyin's "Prohi-
bition in the United States" quotes a let
ter showing that the same tactics were
used in Kansas. st, Louis brewers spent
100000 in six months in small Kansas
towns. The method was to send two or
three men into place, get the names of
the hardest drinkers, supply them with
liquor, and then put them on the streets
as advertisements Of prohibition
SUNDAY CLOSING
The law which closed saloons on Sun
day, together with all other places of
merchandising, was o special point of at
tack by brewers, for Sunday following
pay day was the free day of the masses,
and a most profitable day for the saloons
wherever the law could be successfully
violated.
In 1916 Judge Lands held court In East
st. Louis, Illinois, after scenes of disorder
that shocked the nation. He said In sum-
ming up, Virtually every East ST. Louis
case that have tried here in the last ten
days has been Matched In some laWless
saloon Of this city. Don't you know it is
the law to close these saloons on Sun
day?" When the mayor said they were
lust following a CUSTOM" Judge Lands
said, Custom, nothingl The law re-
quires you to close them up, and il you
do not do it, you violate the law yourself

themselves to keep open.
The laws Of Maryland provided that no

saloon business. In spite of this, brewers

NOMINATION
OF JOHN WALLS
IS CONFIRMED

AUSTIN, Feb. 5.-tP-The Sc
nate today confirmed the nonina-
ton BY Governor Moody OF John
A. Walls OF Laredo to be district At
torney Of the 49th judicial district.
Charges that District Attorney
Walls was not an American citizen
were refuted with purported citi-
zenship papers. The testimony
showed that Walls was born in Bag
dad, Mexico. but educated in the
United States. Evidence was read
showing that when a young man
Walls refused appointment to the
consular service under President
Porfirio Diaz because he said he
was afraid the employment would
imperil his citizenship.
Il would not endanger my Amer
lean citizenship for the proudest
gift within the power OF Mexico"
was a passage written in a letter by
Walls which was placed before the
committee.
The protestants. headed by Hal
Brennan and 0. w. Killam. Laredo
business men. charged that Walls
persecution over a long period Of
Mexican citizens and his dislike for
recent governments Of that country
had brought about strained rela-
tons between Laredo interests and
the government across the Rio
Grande on several occasions.
Also they claimed he had been
unfriendly TO the American Legion
and that in 1917 he refused to sur
press a Mexican paper published IN
Laredo by a man u~nfriendly TO the
cause OF the Allies. and that after
he declared he could not under the
law do anything about 1t. the en-
ragged Americans stormed the news
paper plant and destroyed 1t.
The writt-l charges against Walls
alleged he had drifted into "un-
American channels which made
him unfit to represent an American
city as district attorney"
