Writing in th Boston Transcript upon the popular misconception of the value of alcohol ss a stimulant in certain cases Lester Whitaker says: “Alcohol is not ‘a stimulant and harm msy come from using it »* such. It is always a depressant—small quantities depress a little, and larger quantities depress the vital functions even to death. This has been definitely proved by physiological experimentation. “Alcohol reduces the accuracy of muscular move- ment all the way from decreased ability to perform delicate physical tests up to loss of the power to walk. “It reduces the bodily temperature. This is pro- @nced by depression of the nervés controlling the call- ber of the blood vessels so that they dilate. This al- lows more blood to pass through the surface tissues, with the result that the whole blood volume is rapidly cooled. For a time the man feels warmer than nor- mal, bat this fs because the seat of heat and cold sensa- tions is in the skin, and the large amount of blood there gives him the sensation of warmth. His bodily ture is really being lowered. This {s why ‘drunks’ freeze so easily on a cold night. Constric- tion of the surface vessels, for any reason, produces the opposite sensation—that of chilliness; and the op- posite effect—that of raising the bodily temperature, as early in fever. “The blood pressure is reduced while under the in- fiuence of alcohol. For a moment after taking a drink the pressure may be raised, but no more than would result from some other physical insult of the same roagnitude, as a blow, or the taking of another poison into the stomach. “Alcohol decreases the effictency of the heart. The heart rate may be increased, but this is because of de- pression of the nervous mechanism whose function {s to-keep ths rate of the heart down to an effective level. “Alcohol reduces the efficiency of the intellectual processes. It decreases the speed of association and the power of judgment. | “Probably the reasons why alcohol has been erron- eously regarded as a stimulant all these years are be- cause it increases the heart rate, produces a tempo- rary sensation of warmth and well being, loosens the tongue, and removes the norma! restraint. “The propensity to talk is caused by the depression of the centers for the higher mental processes in the brain. ‘These centers normally exercise a control over our ideas and actions, allowing the escape of only thoso that measure up to a certain conscious standard, ‘These centers, being most sensitive, are first affected by the alcohol—they are thrown out of function as they would be by any other depressant poison. The control is then off and the result is anything from a verbosity to a drivel. “The conditinn may be roughly compared to that in the dilirium of a fever, {n which the higher centers for control are depressed by the poisons of the disease. “The uses of alcohol are in those cases in which a @epressant is required; and it is only for the physician who understands its physiological action to decide when {t shall be used. “Alcoho] {s not a true food because ft cannot re- ir waste, or contribute to the growth of the body. Tnlike many foods, it has no power to increase the body metabolism. To be sure, certain amounts of it are burned in the body, producing heat and energy, but this is because burning is the chief method the bedy has of get rid of the poison.” oS, NDS UPON THE USE. ion pictures because they cut give motion picture DEPF Churches fc nee.

Things are good or evil only as they are used for evil or for good! ————_—__—____. THE SONG OF THE SHIRT. It seems but a short summer or two ago that the work s d upon the store shelf, dead stoc drug in Nobody would have it at any price. Everybody was wearing silk shirts at $15 to $20 per.

It means that the rainbow boys are go- ng to work. t us all hope that they find it — IT's TI TO “LET'S GO.” Vice Pres Coolidge on the first of January wrote a letter at the request of the New York Jour- merce, so optimistic that it deserves a wider than the Journal was in a position to ac-| y of the letter reads as follows: “There are man; ncreasing indicatiors that this nation is at the beginning of a greatly increased pros- perity.

The material conditions have been completed. this let the faith of man add prosperity.” It was William James’ idea that a man ran, not be- cause he was afrcid of the bear, but that he was afraid of the bear because he ran. Business has for long been in a bearish mood because of the Wilson aftermath when the conscieuce of an administration made cow- ards of us all. We should turn the other way and put a little bull into business. ————————— FOREIGN TRADE FOR 1921. Statistics of the foreign trade of the United States for the calendar year 1921 show excess exports to the amount of nearly $2,009,000,000. Our exports were in round numbers $4,484,600,000, and our imports $2,500,090,000. Thus it will be seen that the United States sold to foreign countries approximately $2,000,- 000,000 worth of merchandise in excess of what this country received from other nations, The same statis- ties covering our foreign trade show that during the calendar year we received $667.000,000 in gold and silver, which amount, deducted from our excess ex- ports of merchandise, Jeaves a balance of approximate- 17. $1,800,000,000 sold by the commercial interests of the United States on credit. These facts are worth the attention of those advo- cates of tho league of nations who assert that the United States is pursuing a selfish policy and is not doing its share toward the restoration of normal in- dustrial conditions in Europe. Only a few days ago a prominent Democratic newspaper charged the United States with selfishness and said that it had refused to extend credits. In the past seven years we have ex- tended credits aggregating at least $10,000,000,000 in excess of the amount represented by American se- curities formerly owned abroad but returned to this country in exchange for merchandise. The fact of the matter is thet the business men of the United States are not only willing to extend but are extending to foreign countries nll the credit those countries can reasonably undertake to assume. PAM AN IRREGULAR REPUBLICAN. Once in a while the seniority rule observed in the United States senate becomes a thorn in the side of the majority brethren of that august body. It is based upon length of service and is supposed to include in its application party regularity and discipline. By reason of steady service Senator LaFollette of Wis- consin has risen to the chairmanship of the~impor- tant committees on Indian affairs and manufactures, third in rank on interstate commerce, and third, since the death of Senator Penrose on the powerful commit- j tee on finance. Senator LaFollette wears the Republican label and that is about as far as it goes politically. He has been the most irregular and insurgent member on the Ke- publican side and as far as discipline goes he has no knowledge of the meaning of the word. As he creeps to the head of the finance committee his advancement causes considerable alarm among the old regulars. Senator McCumber of North Dakota and Senator Smoot of Utah, stand between LaFollette and the seat of the mighty. The best hope Republicans have is that Wisconsin Republicans will arouse themselves this year and re- turn a more regular Republican in LaFollette’s place. BONDS STILL CLIMBING. Another big gain in all the issues of Liberty bonds is under way. Few achievements of the Harding ad- ministration have been more pronounced than the steady rise that Republican policies have brought in the market prices of Liberty bonds. - Within a year after his taking office those securities have been brought back to the prices that the people had to pay for them. Previous to, the elections in 1920.the Lib- erty issues had been selling at an average of 15 per cent below par, which meant a loss to the owners of the $20,000,000,000 worth of bonds outstanding of ap- proximately $3,000,000,000. When a change in the government at Washington became assured, the steady size In Liberties began, and it has continued, with slight interruption, until the present time. Of course the loss to those who kept their bonds has only been or paper, and the recovery is only apparent in their own bookkeeping, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that $2,000,000,000 taken from the assets of the Liberty bond owners of the country as a result of the policies of the Democratic party has been returned by the con- servative program of the Republicans and the drastic economies that have been made in the cost of gov- ernment, ———— A RAILROAD CONFERENCE. The administration has arranged for conferences be- tween railroad officials and workers in the hope of ar- riving at a mutual understanding on the questions upon which they are in disagreement. The country is on the threshold of a great industrial revival, but its full benefits cannot be .enjoyed unless transportation facilities are prepared to handle the increased traffic that is sure to result. Not only must adequate equip- ment be at hand, but all causes of friction between up- erators and operatives must be smoothed out. The transportation act directs that labor disputes must first be taken up between the railroads and their employes before they can be carried to the Ratlroad Labor board. | Such action has been taken in the past, but the re- fusal of each side to every controversy to give way to the contentions of the other has made such at- | tempts at compromise merely perfunctory, and has thrown every contest to the labor board as a matter of course, It will be the object of the present con. ference to change all that, and secure agreements ai- ize tly between the parties at interest without the de- lay incident to proceedings before the labor board. oa | ® announcement of the flivvers, The time for prosperity is at hand. | To all!
