TEMPERANCE COLUMN I
Conducted by the McCook W C T U I
THE VOICE OF SCIENCE
Commenting on the annual address of
Professor Sedgwick of Yale medical de
partment the Journal of the American
Medical Association makes remarks well
worth quoting The words both of the
profossur and of the Journal have spe
cial significance coming as they do from
scientific unfanatical sources In an
editoral The Call to Health pub
lished some weeks ago the Journal says
Professor Sedgwick mentions as one
of the foremost responses of the nine
teenth century to the call for better
living the temperance movement which
started a century ago and which iu its
various other aspects has become so
familiar to us that we are liable to over
look its sanitarv importance When one
considers in detail the relations of alco
holic indulgence to disease the numer
ous and important ailmeuts of which it
is the direct cause to say nothing of
its indirect influence on human misery
and degeneracy one can hardly avoid
realizing that it stands almost if not al
together in the first rank of the enemies
to be combated in the battle for health
In the public miud however the sani
tary bearings of this subject are hardly
considered and it fa satisfactory to have
them thus emphasized by Professor
Sedgwick whose words we quote as fol
lows Under whatever form and how
ever fanatical or foolish or at times
even harmful he may have been the
temperance or prohibitionist agitator ha9
always urged the salvation of the body
as well as the soul the conservation of
the family life threatened with ruin by
drunkenness the social significance and
the economic importance of temperance
and even abstinence as regards alcohol
Any great general movement for sani
tary reform which ignores the evils from
the use of stimulants and narcotics
leaves a vast gap in its line against the
common enemy and whatever may be
the practices or prejudices of some of
its individual members the medical pro
fession as a body should stand for tem
perance as one great essential of public
health That there has been too much
neglect of the matter in the past is all
i iue more reason wuy tuo proiession

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
How do I know that life is worth
liiring unless I learn that somebody else
ias found it so Where will I find
that In a book How shall I know
that victories are to be won unless I
5nd the records in books Men and
women who have been successful in life
are telling us of this on the printed
pages This is uplifting A book is
aothing but an individual If you have
a public library you htve the best men
and women in the world as neighbors
J C Canfield
In the beginning of this new year let
ss take occasion to name some of these
best men and women of the world who
are neighbors to the people of this little
city of southwestern Nebraska
Hero is Prof Heury Drummond who
tells us of The Greatest Thing in the
World in language so simple that a
child may understand yet so vigorous
that a scholarly mind is convinced
Here is Ralph Waldo Trine an ex
ponent of the idea that thought is force
and that every thought good or evil
ias it corresponding effect Thoughts
are causes deeds are results
Notice Henry Van Dyke who deeply
touches our hearts with his Story of
She Other Wise Man and who is
equally facile in reaching our 6ense of
6mor in A Fatal Success
Then Nathaniel Hawthorne holds be-
fere us that splendid ideal of The
Great Stone Face and tells us many
a weird romance in language and diction
aucfr as has hardly been equalled by any
neighbor of any time
Afad here are Clara Barton speaking

That diabetes Brights disease me

You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience
J L Davis living in Arapahoe Neb
says About a year ago I was in very
poor health having suffered from kid
ney trouble for some time My body
was racked with dull nnazintr nains
and I felt nervous and restless all the
time The secretions from my kidney
were too frequent in action scanty in
passage and contained a heavy sediment
My feet and ankles also become swollen
and I suffered from frequent chills
After using several remedies with un
satisfactory results Doans Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention and
I procured a box They relieved me at
once ana 1 continued to ue them until
I entirely received a permanent cure
