ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
9
(.Continued from yesterday.)
By B. C. Keister, M. D ,
Super tatendent Sanitarium for Mental
and Nervous Diseases.
When tve consider the high standard
of mental and physical requirements
tor military service of some of the
other progressive nations, it is high
time for our federal government to
take cognizance of these facts and
conditions.
It Is thougli by some of our learned
thinkers that with a continuance of
our present rate of deterioration, both
mentally and physically as a nation, it
will bo only a matter of time when we
will be classed with France and some
other wine and alcoholic drinking na
tions of the earth.
— It is a well known fact that this
marked deterioration on the part of
the wine and beer drinking nations is
now provoking the most lively consid
eration by educated men and heads of
thes various governments.
The most careful investigation re
veals the fact that alcohol beverages
arc no longer entitled to a place in
the army or navy, in the camp, or on
the field of battle. It is now recognized
by our best authorities on military
matters that the most severe exertions
can be best endured, either in cold or
hot climates, without any form of al
coholic drinks. It is a most signifi
cant fact that the Boer army wtih
stood the long siege of warfare with
England and displayed their wonderful
power of endurance over their warm
blooded antagonists without spiritu
ous drinks of any kind.
On the English side we have the
comments of Sir Frederick Treves,
who commanded the relief column ol
30,000 soldiers that' marched onto
I.adymnith during that extremely hoi
weather when so many of the soldiers
lost their lives on acount of the greai
humidity and extreme heat. He re
marked that the first men who drop
ped out of the ranks of this cnormou^
column "were not the tall men or the
short men, not the big men or the
little men—they were tho drinkers,
and they dropped out as clearly as if
they had been labeled with a big
letter on their backs."
It was claimed by some of our older
writers that spirituous drinks relieved
fatigue and made privation more en
durable . This, in a measure, is true
when applied to the drinker and to tHe
coward who docs not measure the ex
lent of the danger to which he is ex
oosfcd, and on that account scorns the
thought of danger. In the earlier times,
when the method of fighting was to
run down the antagonist by a wild
(lash, alcohol no doubt had its devil
ish effects on the brain. But modern
scientific warfare has other features
to reckon with: tranquility, cool de
liberation, iron endurance, a steady
hand, a clear eye, a quick decision,
etc., are some of the necessary quali
fications which the - warrior of the
present day must possess in order to
make tho rifle In his hand a formida
}>lc weapon. He must be imbued with
courage and loyalty that springs from
•love of family and country, and not
•with that drunken tumbling into dan
.g'T with which one whose brain Is
^’clouded with alcohol rushes into bnt
fvtlc.—-Advt.

Alabama is one uf the states thut
were made "dry" (?) by legislature
and not by vote of the people. The
following from the Cincinnati Enquir
er illustrates the result of such pro
cedure :
With the advent of prohibition a
feeling of depression has seized Mo
bile, Ala., according to former Stuto
Senator Alfred M. Cohen, who re
turned yesterday from a ten-day vis
it to the city, where lv inspected the
plant of the Buy Popular Lumber
Company, manufacturers of cigar box
lumber of which he is president.
“Since m> last visit there a yrTir
ago there is a remarkable change,”
said Mr. Cohen. “It was wet then,
but now, with the state dry, nearly
10 storerooms are empty, which for
mer]) were occupied by restaurants
and cafes. These occupy prominent
places on the big street. It pre
vents a spectacle not at all heart
ening. That is what prohibition has
done to Mobile.
“Opposite the Battle house, and the
leadinf%street, a half dozen stores arc
vacant. They contained restaurants
where liquor was sold and saloons.
There is not a demand for other bust
ress to take their places.
"Ordinarily you find everyone eu
huslastlc and busy, but now there is
x feeling of depression. No, 1 did
.lot see any liquor being sold, tint I
was told I would have no difficulty
n getting liquor. It is sold on the
<ly in a teacup, 1 was ■ informed. Mo
jito has lost all the money formerly
derived from the licensing of the trif
fle.
“The public finances are in a bad
dupe._There is talk of paying the
salaries of touchers and other officials
n scrip. There is no community that
ins a finer class_ of people thait Mo
)ile, and they are not in favor of
umptory legislation. Alabama was
nade dry, 1 was told, by a hand
ilcked legislature.”—Advt.
KANSAS.
You mustn’t forgot to "hand it to”
Kansas, the basis of all prohibition
irguments. No money for schools or
charities, sick people sleeping two in
t bed in public hospitals, a dozen asy
ums overflowing and the excess in
sane "farmed out" at $2 a week; Kan
sas, the home of the largest insane
asylum in the world and insanity in
creasing every year from prohibition
poisons; teaching women domestic
science in a dafk basement of the state
university, opposite the insanitary
mens' toilet; less money for charity
than the annual increase in charity
awards in any other state in the union;
not an acre of public land in the state
upon which a farmer could make a
living, banks closing their doors and
manufacturers moving away—all this
proven by the official report of the
state board of control and the state
auditor of Kansas—yes; you’ll have to
hand it to Kansas.
One get-even play is left to the suf
fering people of Kansa, and they ex
ercise it to the limit—ho prohibition
ist can be elected to office In Kansas.
—Fairbanks Dally News Minor, July 8,
1916.—Advt.
