speaking of Operations, by Irvin S.
Cobb. (Published by George H. Dor
an Company, 500 net.)'
"Speaking of operations —you say."
Just like that, even though nobody
present has spoken of them: and then
you are off, with your new acquaint
ance sitting on the edge of his chair,
or hers as the case may be and so
frequently is, with hands clutched in
polite but painful restraint, gills work
ing up and down with impatience, eyes
brightened with desire., tongue hung
in the middle, waiting for you to pause
to catch your breath, so that he or
she may break in with a few personal
recollections along the same line.
Krom a mere conversation it resolves
itself into a splendid symposium, and
a perfectly splendid time is had
by all."
The above extract from this book
by Mr. Cobb which has sprung so
quickly into the spotlight of fame, will
give more clearly and luringly than
any words of ours could describe them
a true idea of the whole-souled, bub
bllng-over-wlth enthusiastic - good -
humor, nature of the book. We are
inclined to agree with the publishers
in their three statements with refer
ence to it, as follows: "This is the fun
niest book yet written (191t>) by Irvin
S. Cobb"; again, "This is the funniest
book ever written about operations":
and , once again, "This is the funniest
book we know of." The only short
book that, in our estimation, would
have the nerve to oven attempt to
hold a candle to Mr. Cobb's outpour
ings was "Pigs is Pigs," but that is a
product of by-gone ages. This book
is "respectfully dedicated to those
who have already been operated on,
and to those who have not yet been
operated on." We take the liberty of
suggesting that you give orders to
your stenographer to the effect that
you have an important directors' meet
ing that will take at least an hour of
your time, and you cannot be disturb
ed: or if you are at home, steel your
self against all door-bell ringings and
•ele'phone calls for the period of one
our: then take up a corner of the
sofa with "Speaking 'of Operations" in
your hand, and you will never regret
Drink and Ik- Solier. by Vance
Thompson. (Published by Moffat.
Yard and Company, SI.OO net.)
The beauty of "Drink and Be So
ber" lies in the sane, practical, read
able. and nonantagonistlc way in
which the author of "Eat and Grow
Thin," approaches the subject, a deli
cate one with some people. It is
"common sense advice on a question
of national importance by 'one who
knows.' " If yo uare among the class
of heavy or moderate drinkers, you
will be interested in ascertaining Mr.
Thompson's viewpoint and his method
of treatment. < you are a tee-totaller,
you will enjoy '-he discussion of this
world-wide problem from the pen of a
man who lias given much careful
thought and investigation to the drink
question and has written up in a
bright and readable way the phycho
logical and physiological effects pro
duced by the use of alcoholic bever
ages.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH
wine-tasting too generously, the tem
perance enthusiast must needs for
give him because of the courage with
which he faces the dangers lurking
within the cup. If he offends his con
vivial friends (and they are legion) by
his warm praise of temperance, they
can harbor no resentment, so fair is
he.
He taps the keg of knowledge of
conditions at the source and states
his conclusion, "He who drinks alco
holic beverages drinks for the sake of
the alcohol—no matter what excuse he
offer.-;. So the first question is—what
is alcohol?" And then, "what effect
Joes it have on the man through his
brain?" Again, "There are two kinds
of drunkards. One is morally deficient
from the start—* sort of moral imbe
cile; that was the cause of his taking
to drink. The other drunkard hus
had to set up a pathological procest;
which would bring him to the same
state of moral imbecility. The one
was born to his druirken inheritance:
the other prepared himself for it."
And later we read, "Insanity is the
mad son of alcohol. Idiocy is its
driveling daughter. Suicide is its de
spairing child. Ours is the drunken
est civilization the world has ever
known."
"In New York," says the 'author,
"there is a melancholy cohort that
spends one million dollars a day for
drink." Many and many a book has
been written on this subject, some in
a spirit of harping criticism and with
out suggesting any cure; others with a
prim parade of mora', goodness that
does more harm than good. Mr.
Thompson comes under neither cate
gory.
POT-POURRI
Tlie Peace Calendar and Diary For
1910 has appeared, and in tlie phrase
ology of tho compiler, Dr. John J.
Mullowney, contains "Words of wis
dom from the wise men. past and pres
ent, against war and militarism."
For example, on January 10 the pos
sessor of one of these calendars, got
ten out in the interest of international
peace, will read, "Patriotism 'consists
not in waving a flag; but in striving
| that our country shall be righteous as
I well as strong." spoken by James
Bryce. And so on throughout the year:
a worthy publication instituted for a
worthy purpose. (Published by Paul
Elder and Co., San Francisco.)
December 2 has been set aside as a
day of prayer for National Prohibi
i (ion. We are inclined to believe that
Vance Thompson's "Drink and Be
I Sober" will do more for some mis
guided drinkers than any number of
prayers. A man of the world, a man
who proudly boasts, "I can drink and
be sober," will listen to Vance Thomp
son where he would turn a deaf ear
i to a Frances Wlllard.
Albert Bigelow Paine, whose latest
published book is "Peanut," the story
of a waif und a desperado, is back in
