OF the United States will take his oath
OF Office at noon to begin the thirty
eighth presidential term.
George Washington. first President,

first term lacked 59sdays Of the con-
stitutional four years.
President Roosevelt's term, which
will end January 20 next year, will

This is because the twentieth amend
ment to the Constitution. which went
into effect october IS, 1888, changes
the inaugural date from March 4. in
effect from Washington's second
term, to January 20.
Because OF the earlier Midwinter

ALCOHOL USE HELD
CAUSE IN DEATHS
Major Illnesses Harder on
Drinkers, Dr.. Ellison
Declares.

Continuing his series of radio tenn
perance talks, DR.. E. M. Ellison. presi-
dent of the United Dry Forces. SAID
last night that medical science mas
"amply demonstrated" that unwlse
use Of alcohol does or may act as an
important cause OF most OF the oeaIhS
In the United States.
"The American Medical Association,
without a peer in the power ana IN
fluence in matters pertaining to the
human health" the speaker said, mas
ALWAYS opposed the use of alcohol as
= beverage and discouraged its use as
q therapeutic agent. According TO the
records of the Census Bureau, major
causes of death in our country during
recent years have been seriatim, heart
disease. malignancy. pneumonia, neph-
ritis, apoplexy and tuberculosis"
Alcohol, DR.. Ellison continued. either
Goes or may act as an important
cause of all of these maladies.
Opinion on Moderation.
Moderation in the use Of alcoholics
cannot be encouraged" declared DR..
Ellison. 1T is strongly discouraged by
all thoughtful observers. No physi-
clans. no scientist of any school. how
ever liberal. can safely say anything
more about alcohol than that 1t is
probably harmless and possibly helpful
to certain individuals, If taken in great
moderation. He must hedge, he can
not be both honest and positive on this
subject. Hence, be it known that there
Is no such thing as physiologicallv
harmless dose of alcohol. 1t is an
elementary fact of science that any
thing proved to be poison can never
enter the human body. even in minute
quantity. without producing some
pathology"
Thousands of temperate drinkers"
continued the physician, die annually
from diseases through which the alb
stemious would pass in absolute safety
The harmful effects of moderation in
the drink habit upon the human body
are quite insidious. The organs most
affected by this method are the liver,
the kidneys. the heart and the brain
NOmmcnUS AlEllucT.
DR.. Ellison commented favorably or
the announcement by American Air
lines, Inc. after conducting a poll of
the entire country, that I'VE will con-
tinue our existing policy of not serving
any form of intoxicating liquor on our
airplanes and will not knowingly per-
mite its use on them"
Long ago. railroad companies found
It to be to their best interests and to
those of the public" said DR.. Ellison.
that their employees be most positively
prohibited to use alcoholic beverages
either on or of duty. Today total
abstinence is the rule of 80 per cent
of those who excel in the athletic
field. The very same thing is tr'le
for the most part in most honorable
