Booze has Same
Respect for Cardinal
. It has for Sailor
The heaviest drinker started out to
be temperate but a moderate use
soon failed to satisfy. The fact is that
alcoholic liquor is a poison that cul
tivates an appetite for itself.
Alcohol Makes 'You Blow
The common theory that a small
quantity of alcohol.at the right time
and place and In moderation is really
helpful and serves to bring out some
latent power in the body is not sus
tained by the following eperiments:
The late Dr. Ridge made some ex
periments at a hospital on a group
of ten people, comprising medical
students, porters and nurses. lie put
up at the end of a corridor a row of
letters, and got each member of the
group to walk slowly from the other
end until the letters could be read,
of course, changing the order of the
letters in each case. A mark was made
on the floor to show the spot where
the reading was done, and the per
son’s initials placed beside it. Then
he supplied them with beer In quan
tities ranging from half-a-plnt to as
I little as one-sixteenth of a pint. On
repeating the test, not one of the
group could now read the letters at
I the spot where they formerly stood;
Jail had to go nearer. In no case was
| there an improvement.
i luicnsur nmepiin, ol neiueiuerg
University, in the course of his fam
ous experiments discovered that
an average man who has taken a
fluid ounce of alcohol (equal to one
pint of beer) had half an hour after
ward to go to a distance of 20 feet
I to read letters that he had previously
! read at 30 feet. He also records that
the effect on the nervec of a quarter
pint or half-pint of beer lusted from
four to five hours after drinking. .
Prefessor Kraeplin made his long
series of experiments with the idea of
proving that a moderate dose of al
cohol helped a man to do better work,
so his testimony is all the more re
markable when he records the fact
that he proved Just the opposite. One
of his experiments was as follows:
He put a man at some distance from
a screen, from behind which a colored
flag was suddenly erected. The rais
ing of the flag started a stop-watch,
and the man had to press a button
which, by means of electricity, stop
ped the watch, and so recorded how
long he took to perceive the flag, de
cide the color, and press the right
button for that color. He then was
allowed a glass of wine, which might
be considered equal to a half-pint of
beer, and a short time afterward the
experiment was repeated, with the re
sult that in every one of the many
cases tested the man was slower ufter
taking ulcohol than before it.
Professor Kraepelin qet a dozen
clerkB to work a number of compound
addition sums. Each man had a stop
watch, which started when he began
work and stopped when he had finisd
ed. thus recording the time taken.
Then he was given a glass of wine,
and started to work an equal number
of similar sums. Out of the first dozen
tried, eleven were slower than before,
and the other man though slightly
faster, got all his sums wrong. The
j experiment was repeated again and,
again, witli different sets of clerks,
but the result was invariably against
the use of alcohol. The remarkable
feature of it all was that every clerk
was certain he was working faster
after the wine than before, and was
astounded to find that his watch was
against him. So impressed was the
professor that he tried the experi
ment on himself, and suffered the
same deception as to doing better
and faster work after taking alcohol
than before. This explains why many
people persist in drinking liquor to
help them in their work—they genu
inely think it helps them. Adv.

I was not president of the Mine Own

lished by George Dooley was issued.
My term of office ended September
1st, 1907, when I resigned.
While I was president of the Mine
Owners’ Association it issued no such ord
ers, nor did it discriminate in any way
against union labor. The operators belong
ing to the organization at that time were
paying $6.00 per day instead of $5.00, as
mentioned in the letter published by Mr.
Dooley.
