Less Liquor Drunk At Commencement This Year The More to "Dry Up" Eastern College*'' Graduation Days Meeting With Success and Columbia University "> Falling in Line With Prohibition Forces By ROBBRT T. SMALL 4 ICwfri^t 1*24. If n* New York, June 2.?Efforts to "dry up" commencement week at ths Eastern universities and colleges are meeting with success almost dally now ss June arrives snd the chance* are that less intoxicating liquors will be drunk at ths graduation exercises and the clsss rsunioss than st any time since the Toletead Act took ef fect. Ths move to Make the commence ments dry is s tacit confession that they hare been anything but that in the past, despite the fact thst the constitutional prohibition amend ment came into full force more than four years ago. There has been a fairly well! authenticated report in circulation for some time that at one prominent, university commencement laBt year,! the revenue sgents made a descent and did not find things at all to their; liking. The agents threatened to' stop all the reunions, arrest all the alumni and possibly put a padlock on all further proceedings. Affairs were smoothed out, howev er, without drastic action, but there was a promise that this year every precaution would be taken to make the campus as dry as the mld-Saha ra. Consequently there will be no cocktails or beer or punch or any other kicking substance served ln< the class tents or marquees which may be erected for the accommoda tion of the visiting "old grads." In the light to make the Eastern commencements safe for prohibition, many eyes naturally have turned to ward Columbia University here In New .York City because Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, revered head of the big educational institution, recently has been hitting some hammer blows at prohibition as It Is practiced In the present day and time. Dr. Butler frankly has let It be known that he regards no prohibi tion at all as better than the evil conditions which he says have grown, out of the attempts to enforce the! Volstead Act as written at Washing ton. What Dr. Butler really has ad-1 yotated is a Government monopoly or control of alcohol as practiced in one or two of the provinces of Can ada. Columbia, however, has promptly fallen into line with the dry move ment, the commencement day com mittee issuing an appeal to the old grads not to "bring their own" or to permit any others to supply them "on university property." Tlie com mittee has argued that it does not matter what the Individual may think of prohibition, there should be strict compliance with the law dur ing commencement week and that each alumnus should personally dis courage anything like a breach of the laws on commencement day. The committee Is seeking "to protect the1 good name of Columbia." It has been made known at Co-, lumbia that the action of the com mencement day committee of course has the sanction and support of Dr. Butler. The students at the univer sity, while supporting Dr. Butler in their college paper and class discus sions, have resented the Inference of some of the more drastic of the dry advocates that Columbia had become as wet as the Atlantic Ocean. They, have Insisted that perhaps there has been less drinking at Columbia, per student, than In any of the other large universities. Officers of some of the classes which are planning reunions this year at the various Eastern institu tions, while deprecating any public use of intoxicants are frank enough to say they are not attempting to exerclBe any censorship or control over the actions of individuals. They want to make certain, however, that there shall be no countenance of the use of liquors by the class organlza-j tlon. Just before prohibition became ef fective some university alumni or ganizations bought their "booze" and stored It away for future use at reunion festivities. They thought at the time this would be perfectly proper and all apparently went well until last year. Now the wet end of! the festivities is to be cut out for all time. I ^ i'ljAYTON C.

Possibly there are no diseases so prevalent as those of the stomach and intestines, no organs so subject to disease. This is accounted for by the fact that these organs are so fre quently abused and not properly cared for. The stomach is the receiving plant for the rough food materials from which the body is built and repaired. It is in this plant that the food undergoes certain digestive changes preparatory for the refining factory, the intes tine, where all th? nutritive ingredients are abstracted and sent out through the serious circulation to the tissue cells to be built into living flesh. It is Upon the stomach and intestinal tract that the entire body is dependent for strength and/nutrition. An arm or a leg might be elim inated?without materially affecting the rest of the body, but to Wminate the stomach or the intestines would be to destroy the entire body. It is in these organs that we find Nature's most wonder ful chemical laboratories. The proper digestion of food being dependent upon certain digestive fluids in their proper amounts, and these organs being the laboratories where such fluids are manufactured, it is very obvious that interference with them will cause digestive troubles. Another condition that causes severe stomach and in testinal troubles is a slowing up of the peristolic motion, which is a function similar to the working of the heart. This is caused by a slight paralyse of the motor muscles in the stomach and intestinal walls which results in the waste matter lying in the intestines too long. Not passing out as rapidly as it should the poisons that are being thrown out through the bowels are reabsorbed, thrown back into the circulation and what the kidneys are unable to dispose of necessarily settles in the weakest tissues of the body. It is indeed unfortunate that we should pay so little heed to these important organs. Whether we have a pain in the head or in the foot, the stomach and intestines are made to suffer. The first thing wr do is to fill them with poisonous medicines which not only cat out their linings but spur them to exhaustion in an attempt to save the life of the body by eliminating the poisons as quickly as pos sible. It is never the medicine that moves the bowels but the bowels that move the medicine. Knowing that medicine did not build the body in the first place; that it will not heal a broken bone, a cut o> a burn, it is more than foolish to grant that it wouhl per manently heal a diseased organ. Hut for the sake of ar gument, granting that it will give temporary relief, is it not logical that the medicine that will heal a diseased or gan will cause disease in organs that are well? And re member that it's only means of getting from the stomach to any other organ is through the blood and serous circu lations which must needs distribute it throughout every organ and tissue cell in the body. And then when the bowels are not regular in their dim inutive function we try to save time and trouble by stuf fing them with some kind of poisonous purgative. To eliminate the poisons the bowels react as a horse would to a spur, only to lapse back into a worse state than ever as soon as the poison is all out. This is kept up month after month until we find ourselves suffering with chronic stomach and intestinal trouble. Had we only searched for the CAUSE of our trouble in the first place we would have found that the organs / affected were suffering from a lack of proper nerve force, due to an impingement upon the nerves supplying them. In the beginning an efficient Chiropractor could have eas ily corrected the CAUSE and much suffering and expense been eliminated. Yes, Chiropractic will cure stomach and intestinal trou bles. Even though you have abused and neglected these organs, you still have a good chance of recovery through Chiropractic. We are curing thousands yearly where ev erything else has failed. firing Your Ilonth Trouble* To DR. A. L. PEARCE CHIROPRACTOR OVKR WOOI.WOIITH 'H 0 * 10c HTOKK 811-14 Kramer liuUdlnf. ? !?
