Tho' liquoriteS hath fallen upon this to cry:. “JVe told you so,” And to urge that ^the. sale of liquor should never be prohibited.' In oth er words while the minds of, the peo- ■pllp^are torn by thfs dread and fatal epidemic, they would prey upon the ‘4 minds of the uninformed to endeav or to Impress the dire necessity, as thqp ^jjgue* for the use of liquor in these cases. • •* . Fortunately one does not have‘to depend upon their aay so in the mat ter, nor upon the advice of tboah few phyaiciana who adhere to th* antiquated theory that alcoholic stimulants are essential in the treat- ment of pneumonia. The arffument has been made that car loads of liquor have been Shipped to the can tonment camps for the. use of tho surgeons in treating.this disease. Of this have no information. But we quote from Sutgeop General idgitHuf i Governor Manning is to he com mended upon his foresight in ifrii ing a meeting' of the commissioner.' •of agriculture, the governors of the cotton producing slate*, hankers, merchants, planters and others in tert-sted in maintaining the price of ^vtjtton this fall. ,\t this meeting it. is proposed to arrange'for holding cottonN<ff the market- af^-ast t'jij. the pric,. hstch*^ the poirft wheie ^ ,wni pay the r>*jvt dif production.

' It does m-em that, perlally in this time of war thq go\- ernment would see the wisdom of protecting the grower of col top, and conserving the produrtiqa of so es- aenUal a commodity. It ts as es- centlal that cotton growers be pro- done by the 'eettd against the remilta of eamb. lin* Mthe wheat producer, the meat ■‘producer, the spear producqr and other producers. Cotton cannot ho»v h«» sold aL th« low'prices to which the speculator has brought it, e.v- cept at a financial loss to the pn- ducer: Certainly it should he held olf the market, and held at least till the cottdn producer gets cost and a -f*i/profit upon ft,,, resttlts or h!-» tabor We J*t rh,.

Dr. C, V. Akin, of the . United States health service, {Wired Surgeon General Blue, stating that several newspapers had requested a state ment as to whether or not he thought the use of alcoholic stimulants es- 7 . f ‘ k \ aential in the treatment of Influenza- pneumonia cases. Surgeon General Blue wired Dr. Akin as follows: ' "In (public healthl service, -the opinion is that the there- anntic vqlue of whiskey or any other alcoholic for treatment of p r, “iii'i.pnia doubtful.

One says; "In my opinion the use of alcohol in pneumnoia 's clearly contra indicated because of the dilation of the small blooti ves sels that is caused, by .this drug\ ad ding burdens to the circulatory sys tem.” The same or stronger hleas are advanced by others of the phytsi cians. and several who use it jusW it with difficulty.
