INFLUENZA AND ALCOHOL.
Considerable has been said since
the advent of the influenza epidemic
about the value of whisky as a com
bative agent against the disease.
Some few individual physicians have
publicly indorsed alcohol for influenza
sufferers, some even going so far as
to say that it is the only effective
remedy for the ailment. Whenever
a word in favor of the use of alcohol
f( i this purpose has been dropped
it has been eagerly seized upon by
the advocates of liquor and exploited
far and wide with probable detriment
to the public health.
Tho American Medical Association
is composed of 80,000 leading physic
ians. Its utterances are beyond doubt
the last word of American medicine
The American Medical Association in
convention in June said:
“Whereas, We believe that the use
of alcohol is detrimental to the hu
man economy, and whereas its use in
therapeutics as a tonic or stimular>.
er fcr food has no scientific value,
therefore
“Be it Resolved, That the American
Medical Association is opposed to the
use of alcohol as a beverage; and.
“Be it further Resolved, That th 1
use of alcohol as a therapeutic agent
should be further discouraged.”
The Columbus. 0., Dispatch, in
commenting a few days ago °» the use
of whisky for influenza said:
“No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the in
fluenza epidemic than the one to the
effect that whisky is a preventive or
cure for the disease. The truth is, the
worst thing one can do is to take
alcohol, when he is suffering from
influenza, and those who drink intoxi
cants are much more liable to contract
the disease than those who abstain
from it.
“Out here at the government depot
there were 400 cases of influenza.
Three deaths resulted. But none of
the deaths was caused by the influ
enza; all three of them were caused
by alcoholic pneumonia—brought
about because the patientss heard that
whisky was a good thing to take
when one had the disease. It is stat
ed that one of the unfortunate victims
stated upon his death bed that he had
read an advertisement saying liquor
was being used in the treatment of
the disease, and that he had taken
whisky on that account. The person
or persons printing such advertisa
mentss are therefore little better
than murderers.
“Whatever you think of prohibition,
or whether you think anything of it,
let alcohol alone—for the present at
least. Do not weaken the system by
using excessive stimulants when there
is such great danger. And if you
should be so unfortunate as to con
tract the disease, let the physician
prescribe for you; do not get it into
your mind that you can cure yourself!
by drinking alcoholic beverages. Dan
gerous to handle at all times, alcohol
is a greater menace than ever, now
that we have this epidemic with us.”

The Times-Recorder has received
the following letter to Santa Claus
from an Americus boy whose name
will not be given here:
“Dear Old Santa Claus: I am a
boy 16 years old. I want you to

cap pistol and a box of cigars and a

FRANCE TO FOLLOW UN.
France is considering the adoption
of Uncle Sam's methods of teaching
better farming and home making to ,
boys and girls. Representatives from i
the French High Commission, lately
in this country, made a point of sudy
iug carefully the methods of the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture ani
the Slate agricultural colleges in edu
cating boys’ and girls’ clubs. Much
of the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press, accompanied by editorial com
ment expressing the view that, the
man and woman power of France hav
ing been depleted or disorganized by
war service France for some time to
come will be dependent in large pait
upon its younger population for its
food supply and suggesting the form
ation in France of a nation-wide
system of boys’ and girls’ clubs pat
terned on thise in America. It is ex
pected that these clubs will grow sta
ple products—garden produce, wool,
farm grain and forage crops, poultry
and farm airmals on farms not devas
tated, the vey soil of which must first
be put in condition. They will stim
u’a.e production by the young people
of France through organized contests
not only in farming but In home en
terprise such as bread baking, gar
ment making, cooking and home man
agement.
THANKSGIVING OVER THERE.

Wounded American soldiers will be

bers that will appeal to the boys from
the United States will be interpolated
in the regular revue. Before going
to the theatre the soldiers will par
take of an old-fashioned American
Thanksgiving dinner.

With corn above 50 cts hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to get
on full feed never brings you a
profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months —hogs go
ing well over 200 pounds and as high
as 240 pounds. Figure the average
feeding and you will see why the B. J
A. Thomas medicine is a good invest- |
ment. Try feeding out your hogs on j
this plan an dis you are not more i
than pleased, we will refund the cost ’
of the medicine.
