Phone Main 9400 MEDICAL OPINION OF BOOZE VERY day makes it more difficult for “booze” to masquerade as a medicine, The notion that it is a “stimulant,” a “tonic” or a “rejuvena- tor” is contradicted by the best and practically by all medical authorities. No,one will question the high standing of Dr. S. S. Goldwater, commissioner of health for the city of New York, who has just issued an official bulletin in which he says: “A diminution in the consumption of alcohol by the commu. nity, according to those who are in a position to know and to judge, would mean less tuberculosis, poverty, less depend ency and less pressure on our hospita isylume and jails, “tntemtperate drinking cuts into the support of the family. The drinking of parents weakens the vitality of children, Drink: ing mothers lose twice as many babies as do sober mothers More alcoholism is found in the parents of feeble-minded chil- dren than in the parents of normal children. “The children of drinkers develop more slowly and do poorer school work than do the children of abstainers. Alcohol im- pairs the tone of the muscles, lessens the products of laborers, depreciates the skill and endurance of artisans, impaire mem- ory, multiplies industrial accidents, causes chronic diseases of the heart, liver, stomach and kidneys, increases the death rate monia and lessens natural immunity from infectious Society is organized and laws are passed for the promotion of the general welfare. Would it not promote the general welfare to remove the cause of as many evils as Dr. Goldwater mentions? WITH 11 witnesses before it, the coroner’s jury in the Frank case finds that it is impossible to secure a single clue to the identity of Frank's murderers. Georgia thus announces its determination to flaunt her badge of shame unto the end; to brazenly challenge the power of law and justice to punish the cowardly mob which strip- ped her of her honor.

We feel coursing thru our veins strong hope of more pleasant relations with Germany than have hitherto existed. It is reported that, before long, Germany will seek to borrow money in the United States market. If we can only get all those fighting nations up to their ears in debt to us, why can't we stop that war? BAD AS THE REST OF THEM HEN, after our protestations of holy horror at the brutal savagery practiced by the soldiers on the European battle front,-we read that little news item from Texas, stating that the scalp lock of a Mexican killed in the recent troubles is on ex- hibition in. the office of the game warden, at the Texas capitol, we feel a good deal like a church deacon caught raiding the parson’s hen roost. HOWIS IT? A QUEER proposition has come up in Austin, Tex. In April the floods* there wrecked a number of buildings, many were entirely destroyed. The owners have asked that the board of equaliza- tion re-value their property for the purpose of as- sessment. Upon examination it is found that the law fixes January 1st for such valuation and the petitioners must pay taxes for the full year on im- provements they had but a third of the time. Is it the same in your city? 2TOM, HERE'S AN INVITATION FRom MRS, BORELY TO ONE OF HER £ TIRESOME ogy ah DINNERS r¢ NO ,.

His name is Dewey Haines; and he lives on a farm near Arcanum, O., and he’s only 17 years old. Dewey started in last fall to show his grown- up neighbor farmers what could be done with land. He picked out five acres and sowed it to wheat. He had studied the problems of soil and seed before this. The knowledge gained helped make Dewey the best farmer in Ohio this year. Of course he worked hard and long with his land; a farmer has to do that if he wants to get any kind of a crop at all. But that hard work combined with KNOWING his soil and his seed resulted in Dewey Haines harvesting 55 2-3 bushels per acre from his little farm. When you stop and think that the wheat average per acre in the whole United States is just a little over 16 bushels, then you begin to realize that this boy can well pin a few medals on himself! Yes, this is the same lad who won the boys’ corn record three years ago. At that time he beat the men’s corn record by raising 139 bushels of corn per acre. ONE WAY to slow down the auto speeders is to keep the streets in poor repair.

NOT A RESTORER HAT Eastland horror raised the deuce with certain big businesses at Chicago, and so the Association of Commerce came to the rescue. “In order to restore confidence in lake steamships,” the association got up a membership excursion to cross Lake Michigan, in the steamer Alabama. “Public confidence” is now roaring in derision, Only a handful of the association members went on the excursion, none took their wives and children, and the Alabama,’ being partly a freighter, was in nice ballast. None of the conditions surrounding the Eastland affair prevailed ani those fellows operating death traps will have to await restoration of confidence by time. ‘ A WOMAN in Dallas had her neighbor arrested for calling her a “regular old Dallas News.” The judge asked the defendant what she meant by that. “She talks too much, judge,” the witness replied. But the court dismissed the case, which affords the News an alibi.
