I am handing you some facts gathered by Mrs. W. B. Lindsay rel ative to the question of making it lawful for drug .stores 1,0 sell liquor under prescription. If you have space I want you to publish this article because it gives some facts that every one should know. I am engaged in church work, trying as best I can 10 keep the young and old as well -» the nar row path. I believe it whiskey can be sold under prescription the pub lic will find that they have played into the hands of the liquor people, and instead lowering the sale of bootleg whiskey the bootleggers will use the idea as a cover for more violations. I am of the opinion that Sam Juvs was ri-ht wb.cn he said "whiskey is a good thing in its place, but hell is its place. Many pr- pie are getting: tired of so much propaganda being dished ( i to the public that is belittling to the efforts of those who are try hag to stop the damnable traffic. We need a campaign to arouse ! public sentiment, starting in the 1 cli-iirch.es and reaching to every [ platform in this country. With very be t wishes for you ■ success this year I am as ever you friend.' O. V. HAWKINS. Will..! c-y As a Medicine. The bill i frcdi-ctd by Senate Person of Franklin courfty at the piescnt session of the legislature - liich will allow physicians to pre scribe .whiskey as medicine is in accord with the 18th amendment end the Volstead law, but we be hove that its passage would be a backward step for North Carolina It would complicate the matter of law enforcement: it would work a ■ hardship upon the- druggists, it would become a temptation to pa , tiwvts, dfuegists and doctors. There .arc doctors who would abuse the ■ p-ivikge. Alrohbl is a habit forming drug. It is a narcotic and not a stimu lant. It is deadly, dangerous and can not be regulated. Whiskey as a medicine is becom ing so old fashioned and out of data that even under the drive of the use cf Whiskey by physicians i dwindling. Although last year a. larger number of physicians 'than ever before were given permits for tire prescription cf whiskey under the Volstead act the amount of whiskey prescribed was noticeably smaller than previously. This fact was related to the committee on appropriations by Dr. James M. Do ran. U. S..♦commissioner of prohibi tion. when he appeared before the committee in December: and is printed in the published minutes of I the committee’s hearings, j Twenty states do not allow the pr :s?r;pt.ion' of whiskey for medical ; i trpeses; in the ether states the use cf whiskey for “medical'’ pur poses is questionable; and leaders cf the medical world look at it : with disapproval: j “Before the days of prohibition no honest doctor ever prescribed 100 pints of whiskey to his patient : in a few months,” said Dr. Arthur Dean Bcvan, cne of the greatest of all American medical men. “To I make it more emphatic no honest physician ever prescribed four hun dred pints of liquor to, his patients in a year.” I Dr. Bevan is a surgeon on the t staff of the great Presbyterian Gen eral hospital of Chicago. He was : president of the American Medical ! society; ar.d has a list of honors and associations that make him I preeminently an authority. The | statement here quoted was made ! by him at a public gathering in ! Chicago, December 20, 1923. "Alchchol has little place in mod | ern scientific medicine, continued Dr. Bevan. “At the Presbyterian General hospital in Chicago, where we take care of twelve thousand ! patients a year, we have not yet , prescribed through the drug room ! rf the hospital a single bottle of alcoholic liquor since the passage of the prohibition amendment; and ! this is not due to any regulation r.ga'nr.t the use cf alcohol. Any at tending medical mm his the priv ilege of using alcohol as he sees fit. ! ft is due to the fact that there is little or no logical scientific reason for thtAinternal administration of ! alcohol in the modern treatment of di-ae.se.” Dr. Bevan concluded his talk by charging “an enormous amount of graft, probably in the neighborhood i f sm.OCO.COO in the writing of pre !: eriptioris by the medical . profes sion for w hiskey.” | „ Recently we visited the great Ford hospital in Detroit and were told that whiskey was never used I in the. hospital. When the hospital was frni bed and ready for business Henry Ford asked his technical men if the use of alcohol was nec c. sary to the successful operation j cf a hospital. They were not sure ! He instructed them to make an in 1 vestigation, to visit the best hos | pitals everywhere, and find out what was the result of hospital experi cnee oh this subject, a thorough inve ligation was made. The re [ suit was that the experts revved the alcohol was unnecessary in the onerr.ticn of a hospital and so it has never .been used there’ in • K 17 pH^rs*o,i j-pcnli' Stricken with Flu David Beldsco (above), dean of Broadway producers, u bo took', to his bed with a severe attack of “flu” recently lbs pin siciansdeclare his conditiirn is not alarming and pred t he wild lie about in a tew- days, tion, which has never been re scinded: ‘'Whereas we believe that the use of alcohol is detrimental to the hu man economy, and its u ■ in thera peutics as a tonic or a stimulant 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 the use of alcohol as a therapeutic agent should be further discour aged." The physician who clings to whiskey'as a medicine, ■ therefore, seems to be a part of the old pre scientific days when the old-wife and the medicine-man ruled the destinies of the community with lit tle else than superstition to guide them. “When 1 was a youngster in med icine in the late eighties.- and for generations before my day," raid Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hep kins university at Baltimore. it was the unreasoning fashion of my profession, to prescribe some sort of an alcoholic drink as a ‘tonic’ in convalescence and this evil habit to some extent still lingers as our worst inheritance from our respected fathers. The good' done about equalled that of pink pills for pale people, while the harm di ne in im planting and fostering a deadly habit was incalculable.” Another authority, Dr. J N. Mc Cormack, secretary of the Kentucky board of heal: h and organiser of the American Medical association, says: “It is time alcohol w is banished from the medical armament; whis key had killed thousands where it has cured cne." Dr. Reid Hunt of the U. S. Pub lic Service, at Washington, D. C, says: “The field of usefulness of alco hol in therapeutics is extremely lim ited and possibly docs net exist at all.” During serious “f!u" epidemics in Ontario) there was a great clamor that intoxicants were bard to get in “Medical Science." The chief I health officer of the province of I Ontario, Lieut. Col. McCullough, ! when asked his opinion as to the j advisability of increasing the facil 1 ities for securing liquor under the i circumstances said : » j "The fact that by the judicious ! use of several remedies on cur iher apeutic list we can safely disp nse with alcohol in the practice of med icine indicates the folly of advising it as a ‘camouflage,' from the very serious evils that arise from its use as a beverage."

Moses can say as murderous thitigs as any man in the capitol building but not j often. It takes him a long time | to .think them up, apparently. Thad utters them as naturally as he breathes and about as rapidly, when he feels like it. Thad's also are a higher type than Moses'. The latter gets per sonal Thad's thunderbolts always strike above the diaphragm. The senate will miss Jim Reed terribly. Still, complete ennui never will I settle upon the solons’ chamber 1 while Thad Caraway remains to enliven its proceedings. MEXICAN JOINED ARMY AT 112 YEARS OF AGE San LUis Potosi.

Kenan pro fessor of rural economics at the University of North Carolina, who has been investigating for the Southern Ucelatmition Conference. The results cf his investigations are made public-today by the reclama tion bir'tan ot the tederul depart ment of the interior. / "It is difficult to make farming a profitable business'," says Dr. Bran son. who blames the one-crop sys tem. the settlement of farmers on solitary homesteads, illiteracy, the poverty of the tenant farmer and the hand-to-mouth living. “It is even more difficult to make farming a satisfactory way of life,’' he admits; but he has a solution. He would plant farmers In colonies and adopt. Henry Ford's system of mass production. Then he would meet the compiiticai of the world and make money. Planned rural settlements of 200 farms in a region of fertility would be the beginning of his proposed reclamation of fanning m the South Buying land by the wholesale and selling it at: retail on long terms Is his idea Credit to help thrifty farm ers to emjitoy experts to look after special features, to Join hands In drainage.' to pool resources In buy ing machinery for large scale farm ing. team work in selection of crops to be grown, and cooperation in numerous other ways. With 22,000,000 idle acres in North Carolina, of which 15,000.000 were once in cultivation. Dr. Branson thinks there would be no difficulty in finding bodies of prime farm land ranging from 8.000 to 15.000 acres for starting these colonies. $5,000 AWARDED STAGE STAR FOR LOSS OF LOCKS Paris —The hair of an actress, If it is free df dandruff, is worth $5, 000. That is the estimate the Paris courts have put on the luxuriant locks once possessed by Gilda Darthy. who starred as Roxanne in Rostand's Cyrano De Bergerac. Miss Darthy lost her hair in an automobile accident. A surgeon had to denude her scalp, injured when she was thrown against the windshield. While new hair was growing, she could not play Roxanne. She j sued the taxicab driver whose car [collided with hers, and the courts awarded her $5,000. GOLDS, INDIGESTION Tennessee Lady Tells About The Long Use of Thed ford’s Black-Draught In Her Family. Rutledge, Term.—1"For thirty years or longer we have been using Black Draught in our home as a family medicine, and have found it to be very handy," says Mrs. John Mc Ginnis, of near here. "Since I have been married and had children of my own, I have found it to be a fine medicine to give them for colds and indigestion. I have three little girls, and when I see one of them fretful and ‘droopy* in the morning, I begin treating her with a course of Black-Draught. It is not long until she Is lively and well again. I make a tea of it and give it to the children, as they take it best that way. "I take Black-Draught for con stipation and indigestion. If I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth and feel sluggish and dull, I know it is time for a dose of Black Draught. "We try to keep a box of Black Draught always in the house and are seldom without it. My health is generally good, but I think it is a good thing to keep a mild, de ndable remedy on hand for spells constipation."
