I But before reserving boat or airplane transpor- tation to the Cuban oasis, drinkers should know this: Doctors are discussing the increasing number | of Americans who are coming back home and dy-: ing a few weeks later from poison liquor they got | in Havana. | It works slowly;'so, it isn’t;wood alcohol. | Probably it’s just-greenwhisky. The liquor} seller isn’t interested in‘anything except profits. | And there's bigger profit in green whisky than in| old barreled goods. All whisky is green — “moonshine” — before it ages in the cask. - _. Editor If you ever'meet an old-time distillery chemist, he will tell you this: : Alcohol, in all forms, is a certain poison. When whisky is aged in the wood, it develops | compound high ethers which to a varying extent neutralize the alcohol. Raw whisky kills faster than morphine. That’s why the bartender at the corner saloon | used to apologize for whisky less than seven years | old. He had to be an extremely disreputable | “barkeep” to dispense anything under three years. ' The worst drunkard in ‘the old days—the one| who went fastest to the undertaker’s cooling- | board, was the chempagne or wine souse.

Co-operation always is advisable, for sel- fish reasons. POOR TIMES FOR ADICALS | Professicnal agitators, their speeches, are talking rhostly about why the “world revolution” | has failed to come off as scheduled by the radi- cals. ra Their explanations dre usually wrong. The real reasons are: y First: World is tired of experimenting. Pen- dulum is swinging back to “nornial’”—stagnation. Secend: As soon as a‘radical movement gets a ‘good start, the radicals find they can’t agree among themselves, let alone getting the world to agree with them. The leaders wrangle. The movement paralyzes. Audience drifts out to an- other show.

This causes gloom in the rattler” dis-| “If every person who will die within the next 15 years,” he says, “leaving fortunes to be taxed and fought over, worthy causes now, there would not be one hungry person in the world today.’ : Save on Taxes. With ‘business sagacity asserting itself, Straus paints out, too, that “there is a sound business reason for giving while you live, for thus you save on both income and inheritance taxes.” Straus has saved countless thou- sands of lives through his propagan- da for pastuerized milk. And it has not been, an easy road to travel. He lived through all the trials and tribu- lations of the pioneer as a layman to convince physicians and scientists of the merit of his claim that death iurks in raw milk. Nowadays pastuerization of milk is enforced in most civilized coun- tries and Straus says it will continue to save untold numbers from disease and death. “His other philanthropies have in- cluded aiding the- unemployed, the soldiers and sailors in the World War, the war orphans and the people in Palestine. At ‘present he is contribut- ing $4,000 to $6,000 a month to soup kitchens in Palestine, and this is one of the least of his benevolenves. Giving a Mania” “Giving is a mania of mine,” said Straus at Atlantic City, where he and his’ wife are spending the winter. “The first emotion of my life that I can recall was feeling sorry because I could not help someone. When I was a boy I always felt that if I could save just one life I would not have lived in vain.” His yearning has borne fruit in not one, but, tens of thousands of lives saved. Straus is so keyed up to giving that he actually senses necessities before they are ‘presented to him. Maybe it’s mental telepathy, or something, but he’ called it “wireless” when he said: “Do you beileve in “wireless? I have here a’ létter from Dr. De Sola Pool,” taking the missive from his pocket “He is 4‘/fornrer’*New York rabbi in chatge. of my undertakings in Palestine. He writes me he needs mority'’.for some unexpected needs that ‘Nave arisen‘: But before the letter réached!me’Ivhad sent the money for those very things. I some- how sensed thiit itswas riéeded.” ‘Straus’ advises those, who intend making bequests; to:/bej. paid after death, to paytheny while living. “Giv- ing is the great: thrill,’ he says; it’s a continual thrilljof “happiness. Af- ter I’ve done some little thing for somebody, Tam a lot.happier in thinking that he: ismbetter off this night than he was last night, ES “and anyone can give, accotding to what he has Speeds Up Bequest 5 “When I made my will, I set aside $1000 to be given:to a man in New York who, always! has. been a very good friend to me. When I made that’ will, I didn’t expect it would be so long before he'd get it. \ “So the other day I went to him and told him about the bequest and said he had waited too long; that I wanted him to have the money now. “T cant do that, Mr, Straus,’ he said. ‘I couldn't think of taking it, “Well, you’d take it if I were dead, wouldn’t you?’ I argued, ‘and s0 you ought’to take it now.’ Finally I persuaded him, And that money will be of much more use to my friend than if I had kept it until I died.” To the suggestion that giving may weaken the recipient, Straus say: “Impossible! No wisely given thing has ever weakened the fibre of any human being. Kindness, considera- tion, of others, is the thing on which progress is built. So try to get your less fortunate friend’s viewpoint and then. act in accordance with his needs.” “Pay Your Debts” One other principle is as dear to Straus as that of giving; it is. that everyone should pay his debts. “This was a lesson I learned from my father,” he says. “The Civil War left him penniless. He went to his largest creditor to promise that he would pay all he owed. The creditor said, ‘You can't; I’ve already crossed the account off my books as worth- less. Buf*my father did pay—every cent. “Paying your débts means honor; giving all you can means happiness.” Mrs. Straus assists her husband in the carrying out of his philanthropies. Asked what it means to be the wife of a man world-famed for his phil- anthropy, she‘says. ~ “I'd rather be known for that than for anything else. He started with nothing. All he has made, he made for himself.’ But generosity always has been his great virtue.” & PEOPLE'S FORUM _| Bigmarck, N. D., Feb. 16, 1922. The Editor. The article in last night's Tribune, headed “Public Health Work in North Dakota,” and giving an account of an address by Dr, H. E.
