Are Wine and Beer Harmful?
How do people find out whether
or not a substitute is harmful?
By watching its effects upon
themselves. By watching its effect
upon others.
Have the effects of beer and wine
been tried upon many people?
From the time of the earliest writ
ings in the world to the present day
the effects of beer and wine have
been observed and written down.
The hieroglyphics of Egypt picture
people drinking and getting drunk
on wine.
The Bible tells of the injury wine
did to Noah. He planted a vineyard,
drank of the wine and became drunk
en.
Older sacred writings in China and
India tell of drunkenness caused by
wine, "rice-wine," and other fer
mented alcoholic drinks of that time.
Beer also was known to cause
drunkenness, in olden tim?s. A writer
who lived in Egypt about the time of
Moses wrote that if beer gets into
a man it overcomes his mind and
makes him unmanageable.
If people knew that wine and
beer injured them, why did they not
stop their use?
People thought then, as many still
think, that they could stop the in
jury without stopping that which
caused it, the beer and wine drink
ing.
Rulers punished their subjects se
verely for getting drunk, but did not
condemn drinking. They thought
that the injury came only from tak
ing "t?o much," and by "too much"
they meant enough to make one
drunk.
Why did not the people learn how
much they could drink without being
injured?
The injury from beer and wine is
in proportion to the amount drunk.
The first injury makes no outward
showing, but it is, however, a serious
one, for it weakens self- restraint
and judgement, the very qualities of
the mind that are needed to resist
suggestions to keep on drinking.
The first injury, such as is easily
caused by beer and wine, is also se
rious because it escapes notice. The
drinker does not notice the begin
ning of the "don't care" state of
mind. If they observe any change in
the drinker they interpret it as a
sign of his good spirits, sociability.
They do not see it as the beginning
of the injury that may easily end in
drunkenness.
There are many wine and beer
drinkers who do not become drunk
ards; why are there so many excep
tions if drinking a little leads so eas
ily to drinking more?
Some persons cen, -without becoming
drunken, drink quantities of alcohol
ic beer and wine that would throw
Others into a state of drunkenness.
This is not a sign that such drinkers
are not injured. Instead of "going to
the head" and thereby plainly show
ing its injurious effects, the alco
hol in the beer and wine they drink
habitually day after day slowly poi
sons other parts of the body.
The injury may show itse'f first
as lessened resistance to disease or
slower recovery from accidents. If
the drinker is not exposed to disease
germs, to industrial poisons or to ac
cidents, he does not suspect, and his
friends do not suspect, that he is in
jured by his moderate drinking. He
is pointed to as an example of the
harmlessness of beer and wine.
But there are other reasons of de
tecting the unsuspecting injury. Life
insurance tables have shown that
large numbers of insured men who
took no more than two glasses of
beer a day had on the average a
death rate of 18 per cent higher than
the general average of insured lives.
Another injury from beer and
wine drinking is impairment of work
ing ability. Muscular coordination or
nerve control, necessary for skilled
work, is affected by small quantities
of alcohol, such as one easily gets
from wine and beer. Lack of skill
affects the pay envelope ar.d cuts
down the drunkard's earnings for the
maintenance of his home and family;
or it unfits him for plaaces of res
ponsibility.
It is not the drunkard only who
finds the doors to fine positions clos
ed to him because he has injured
himself by drink. The slighter inju
ries of the more j moderate drinker
make him less clear in judgement,
less able to give close attention to
business, less responsible in matters
that require care and steadiness than
the abstainer from all forms of al
coholic drinks.

Moving From N- Y. to the U. S.
Secretary of War Weeks sees the
country yelling for booze. The use
of the word "sees" in that connec
tion is unintentionally correct; Sec
retary Weeks does not hear the coun
try, he only "sees" it through the
pictures that are drawn for him by
gentlemen who know exactly what
they want him to see.
It isn't prohibition nor beer that is
discussed here: it is the inability of
publicists and officials to see the
United States straight. Here is a
New York editor, for example: may
be the editor of a "liberal" magazine
supported by some International fi
nancier. This editor lives in the mid
st of hip flasks and boozy humor;
he dawdles and games and violates
the constitution in a club where all
the club members assure him over
and over again that the country is
simply yelling its head off for booze
and that unless something is done
to suppress the "blue law tyrants"
that are overriding the country we
shall have a revolution here, man
a revolution here, man, sure as
shootin.'
Clubs are poor places to hear the
country think; you cannot gauge
public sentiment by hip pockets, sim
ply because these things prevent ed
itors seeing straight the things that
they ought to see straight. And they
prevent officials too.
One much needed reform is to
take New York and strip it of edito
rial offices, transportating the edito
rial staffs to the United States and
setting them down in the midst of
Lhe nation, where the voice of the
American people will reach them.
The same should be done with Wash
ington officials. Men who have os
cillated between New York and
Washington all their lives, who
think according to the interests of
those places, are foreign-minded men
and cannot help being foreign mind
ed. They represent a state of mind
that has always been resident of
the mind of the United States. It is
too bad that we cannot arrange
branch capitals throughout the U
tiited States, so that the government
might ride circuit, as the courts
once did, and. thus come in
contact with all parts of bte country,
not on the rare occasions of public
celebrations, but in common ways
and as integral parts of our plain
population.
It cannot be assuredly said that
this would be of very great use to
the country, but it certainly would
be most valuable to the editors and
the officials, and not only on the
prohibition question, either. There
sn't any prohibition question- in
the United States! There may be in
New \ork and in Washington.
