ALCOHOL AND ATHLETIC8.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer
sity has Issued a pamphlet In which
he gives the result of his Investiga
tions of tho liquor problem. Concern-,
lng alcohol and athletics he says:
"In studying the conditions of health
and efficiency during the last ten
years, the conditions which enable an
athlete, lor instance, to be at bis best,
I have tad occasion to examine the
conflicting popular Ideas concerning
alcohol. I began the Btudy quite will
ing to be convinced that alcoholic bov
orunes have some virtue. Ifiit 1 have
ended In tho conviction that they have
none, and I have found that this con- .
elusion is almost universally reached
by those who have examined the facts.
These facts demonstrate that a man
who takes alcohol, In even a moderate
degree, Is harming himself physically,
mentally, morally and economically.
"That alcohol Increases fatigue is
now commonly recognized by athletes.
Alcohol gives no Increase of muscular
power. It is not what we can prop
erly call a stimulant, but a depressant.
It Is apparently a stimulant, because
It puts to sleep the nerves that Indi
cate fatlguo, so that tho person thinks
himself relieved of fatigue. What it
does is to make one unconscious of
his fatlguo. Various kinds of tests
and exercises have proved that alco
hol is a decided hindrance to muscu
lar or athletic power."

Adding to Her Lines.
George M. Cohaif engaged a young
woman, for one, of his productions
whose ambition excolled her abilities.
One morning she went to 'Mr. Cohan:
"I have only one line lr the first act,
Mr. Cohan," . said Bhe, "and but one In
the second. ' Couldn't you give mo a
line' for the" third act,also?"
Mr. Cohan thought for a moment of
all the trouble the girl had caused,
him, and of, the exalted opinion she
had "of her poor acting.'
"Well, yes," replied Mr. Cohan,
"during the banquet scene In the third
act you may enter and say: 'Here Is
a ham.' "
"Oh," she exclaimed, "and do I bring
a ham on the etate with me?"
"No," answered Mr. Cohan, "It Is not
a speech; It Is a confession, my dear."
ALCOHOL CAUSE OF WAR.
Dr. Charles Gilbert Davis, eminent
physician, psychologist and scientist
of Chicago, says the great world war
Is but ihe logical outcome of "gener
ations of alcoholic saturation,' with
the resultant deterioration of the hu
man nice and degeneration of the hu
man mind."
"I have taken a kennel of Great
Danes." Bays tho doctor, "magnificent
animals, and given them Just a tea
spoonful of alcoholic beverage dally,
mixed with their foods, and then bred
them, and carried on the experiment
for five or six generations, until the
Great Danes had dwindled physically
to small size, and their even disposi
tions had changed until the product
has been snarling, whining, fighting
curs. How much more so this must
,be with humans extended over thirty
or forty generations. The parallel
may not be pleasant, but It Is a nice
ono, and that Is what has occurred In
Europe."

"Canada's Herring Fisheries.
The Canadian herring fisheries are
said to be the richest In the world,
and the quality of the fish Is quite as
good as the North sea product. The
Industry of Canada has great oppor
tunities at the present time, and an
effort Is being made to cause such
Inspection, ' standardization and ad
vertising of the product as will enable
It to command the market which, with
Improved conditions, will be found
awaiting It..

JOHN BARLEYCORN UNPOPULAR..
"Insurance people have come to the
definite conclusion that booze and In
surance mix about as well as oil and
water," remarked Edward A. Woods,
president of the National Life Under
writers' association. "In other words,"
snld Mr. Woods, "a drinking man Is a
mighty poor risk. Cold figures have
proved to us positively that the drink
ing man even the moderate drinker
has less than half as much chance to
live out the life of his policy as the
teetotaler. The mortality of the
teetotalers between tho ages of thirty-five
and fifty years, when men are
of the most use to society, Is only 56
per cent" of tho average mortality.
Not even the war has been the sub
ject of as much consideration among
Insurance men as has the liquor question."
GERMANS DRINKING TEA.
Encouraging testimony as to the de
creased consumption of alcohol In Ger
many was given Miss Mary E. Brown,
director of the National W. C. T. U.
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion, by an engineer who showed great
Interest in the literature exhibit. He
said that with 46 other nglneers he
visited Germany two yeaia ago. While
there the group investigated eight
manufacturing plants and they found
the men taking a pint bottle of weak
tea with their ono o'clock lunch In
stead of using beer with 2 or 3 per
cent alcohol as formerly. The tea la
prepared In tho building and sent up
in bottles at about one-half the cost
of beer. Since substituting, tea for
beer the elficioncy of the workmen baa
Increased from 15 to 20 per cent.
WHITENING.
California, South Dakota, Vermont,
Montana and Nebraska and the terri
tory of Alaska have already launched
prohibition campaigns which will cul
minato In wet and dry elections In
1916, and state-wide prohibition bills
have been Introduced In Utah. New
York, Delaware, New Hampshire. New
Mexico, Minnesota," Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Texas. Wyoming, Michigan
and Indiana.
Varied the Injuries.
"A sturdy young man appeared at
my door latoly and Btated that he had
been Injured on tho Mexican border,"
related H. II. Harsh. "The dog, an
open-faced canine of low tastes, came
around the corner at that moment,
and the young man departed, rnjured
In an entirely different locality."
The Financial Question.
"Some folks say that time Is
money," remarked the Tillage store
keeper,
In It."
"but I don't take much stock
"You don't, eh?" queried the loafer.
"No, 1 don't," replied the merchant,
"and I wish some of you fellows would
spend ia little more money here and
a little less ttmo." '
Wounded Soldiers In Palacl.
It was under the direction of Queen
Helena that the entire first floor of
the Quirlnal was made Into a hospital
for wounded soldiers. Thore' are moro
than two hundred beds and strict
measures are being enforced to make
the place all that It should be hygiont-cally.
ALCOHOL CAUSES INSANITY.
Alcoholism, propagated by every na
tion, licensed by the stale, Is second
only to war as a cause of Insanity. Not
only does It lead, directly to mental
disease, but It Indirectly predisposes
to mental and physical deterioration
through heredity. Children of alcoholic
parents are notoriously liable to be
epileptic, imbecile or insane. William
Brady, M. D.. Chicago.
SEVERAL ISSUES.
There fere several other Issues In
the hearts of the peopl that tower
above all others and are bound to be
written Into Borne par.'.y platform two
years hence. One of these questions
Is that of national Prohibition,. You
mlKht as well try to sweep back th
tides of tho ocean as to stop or delay
the progress of the Prohibition move-ment.J-Oovernor

places throughout Russia "people'B
palaces" and smaller buildings, where
the .people may meet for entertain
ment and instruction. These palace
contain rooms and halls In which c
certs, exhibitions and other e-
talnmenta can be liven.
