ALCOHOL AND MAN'S SYSTEM
Some Scientific) Facts Plainly Stated for
Fnblio Edification.
EFFECTS OF DRINK ON MIND AND BODY
Dr. Mnlrhend of CrrUbtoii Medical
College l,rclurr Entertainingly
on the Topic at Clifton
11 III thurcli.
I
Dr. A. I Mulrheud, who occupies the
chair of pharmacology and materia medlca
In Crcighton Medical college, delivered a
lecture In Ihe Clifton Hill PrcsbyKviun
church on "The Scientlflc Bldo of the
Alcoholic Question." The lecture was in
nowise technical or argumentative, but
guvc the results of the Investigations by
accepted authorities, who In their experi
ment! and Himlyaea were not Influenced
In anywlw by sentiment, but only by de
sire to reach truthful conclusions aa to
the effect of the use of intoxicating or
ulcohollc liquor on the human system.
Dr. Mulrhead auid that much of the in
formation of the public on the temperance
question la derived from temperance lec
turers and mlacouceptloiiH of the real ef
fect of the Introduction of alcohol Into the
human syatem. llo believed It best that
the simple truth should be known, rather
than some, of the extravagant, deductions
of persons who are not accurately In
formed mid who deal with only one of the
many sides of the alcohol question. In
many discussions which relate to the
social and moral aspect of the question
extravagant assertions are often made, and
young people In the, course of experience,
learning that these assertions are not true,
ure Inclined to view with less disfavor the
practice of drinking. The results of sclen-

The hearty food and overeating, so com
mon in winter, strain the stomach and
digestive organs so that by this time the
average person Is out of health. It may
be a simple headache, possibly sleepless
ness, or a general tired, weak feeling, but
the chances are that the stomach la weak
and cannot proer1y take care of the food,
and as a result there la heartburn. Indi
gestion, lack bf energy and a general
fagged out slate.
The stomach needs health and strength.
Thu various aches and pulns that you have
are the stomach's cry for help and Its
warning that it tins been overworked.
Give It strength by taking a Ml-o-na
tublet before each meal, and it will soon
do Its work so promptly and naturally that
you will not realise you have a stomach.
There will be no acidity, no flatunecy, no
griping ulsjut the heart, no unpleasant
gases, no furred tongue, no inflammation
of the mucous membrane.
A 60c box of Ml-o-na will bring buoyancy
of spirit in place of lassitude and despond
ency. It will help the overtaxed stomach
to start fairly on the road to health. It
will give the sleep necessary to brain and
nerve centers.

title demonstrations go very far towards
establishing a convincing basis for appeals
In favor of strict temperance proceeding
from the social, moral and religious side
of the question.
Dr. Mulrhead first considered the effect
of alcohol on the nervous system. The
progressive effects, proportioned to the
quantity of alcohol taken, on warmth, a
feeling of comfort and of Increased phy
sical and mental vigor; the sense of care
becomes dulled, and then self control be
comes largely or altogether lost. Scien
tific Investigations have proven, he said,
that the cause of these effects is not
stimulation, as Is commonly believed; for
the Immediate effect of alcohol when taken
Into the system, proportioned to the
amount taken, Is the depression of the
higher centers of the brain, the paralysis
of the latest acquisitions of the brain un
til the person becomes as a child and all
sense of responsibility and the control of
the muscles is lost. In other words, It
represents the progressive paralysis of the
faculties In the Inverse order of their culti
vation. He said that alcohol always at
tacks the more highly developed tissues.
The stimulation resulting from the alcohol
Is due not to the drink Itself, but to the
surroundings: conversation, music and all
those features connected with drinking
which go under the name of good fellow
ship. He nsserted experiments conducted
with sclent iflc exactness have proven the
truth of this conclusion.
Home False Impressions.
Functional power Is really lessened, and
this when the power of self-control Is
lessened. He said tho feeling of Increased
strength is false, and cited experiments
made In the German army which resulted
In the cutting off entirely of the use of
alcoholic beverages during marches. He
cited also that In all training In athletics
alcohol is a forbidden luxury. Actual ob
servations .ind comparisons have proven
that in certain kinds of activity, such as
typesetting, typewriting and the adding of
columns of figures, a person having taken
only a nominal quantity of alcohol makes
more mistakes, notwithstanding the person
really believes he Is doing faster and
superior work. Dr. Mulrhead stated It as
being a determined scientific fact that
alcohol Impairs the ability to do physical
and mental work, no matter how Bmall
the quantity taken.
Muirhtnd next considered the effect of
alcohol on the digestion. He said diges
tion depends very largely on the tasta,
smell and flavor of food. If the taste or
smell of alcohol Is pleasant to a person,
It will help digestion, as It will Increase
the secretions In tht mouth and the flow
of gastric juice, nut he said It must be
understood that this fact depends on
whether the alcohol Is greatly diluted be
fore bring taken. If the alcohol Is strong
enough to be an irritant It la harmful to
digestion.
la Alcohol a Food t
The lecture was concluded by a refer
ence to the question, "Is alcohol food?"
Dr. Mulrhead unqualifiedly held that when
added to the ordinary diet of a person In
normal physical condition alcohol performs
no good service aa a food, although the
best scientific authorities of the world say
that it Is a food. The fact Is, he said,
that only about 10 per cent is lost, the
remainder being oxidized and changed Into
energy; but while this Is true It Is doubt
ful If the gain of food compensates for
the consideration of alcohol as a food. Dr.
Muirhcid meana alcohol introduced Into
the system In a greatly diluted form.
When It It strong enough to be an Irri
tant It actually cooks the cells of the
nervous system. In caaea of Imi-alred
health, when food la not assimilated, ha
said alcohol doe furnish energy, and in
such cases may b regarded aa emergency
ood. '
M'KEAS'S MOTOR A SUCCESS
Trial Trip of Union Pacifio No. 1 JProves
All that Was Expected.
CAR STARTS AT HIGH GEAR ALL RIGHT
I'roblem Solved by Superintendent of
Motive Power Who Has Made
Improvement of Whlss
Wagon Machinery.
The dawning of a new era In the his
tory of local passenger traffic was marked
when Union Pacific motor car No. 1 beat
the schedule time of train No. 6 from Val
ley to Omuha. Superintendent of Motive
Power W. R. McKeen'a plan for starting
with high gear has worked out successfully
and In the opinion of the railroad officials
who took the trip the problem of railway
motor cars has been solved.
The run for Valley was begun at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, with Mr. Mc
Keen at the throttle. In the car was a
party of railroad men and business men
und their wives and representatives of the
Omaha newspapers. It was u matter of
much Interest to all, for the car had not
yet been farther than South Omaha.
Misfortune marked the beginning of the
run. In starting the car at high gear on
the grade from the yards to the main line
a set screw was sprung and other damage
sustained. This necessitated the trip to
Valley at low gear, less than twenty miles
an hour, while a machinist waa making re
pairs. Valley was reached at almost I
o'clock and a stop was made for lunch.
By the time for return the machinery had
been repaired and the car was stnrted at
high gear. It behaved wonderfully well
and ran to Omaha at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, beating the time of No. 9
by thirteen minutes. Though the car Is
capable of going between forty and fifty
miles an hour, Mr. McKeen held It Blower
because of the fact that the fan which cools
the water pipes was not in working order.
Realises Ills Dream.
"My dream has come true." said Mr.
McKeen, after allghtltrg at Omaha. "It
has long been my pet Idea that a motor
car could be built which co'uld be started
at high gear. The main trouble with those
which have been built and with automobiles
Is that they have Beveral gears which have
to bo thrown In and out of mesh. They
have to be started on the low gear. Here
la a car weighing twenty tons, with a 100-hnrae-power
engine, which starts at high
gear, starts and stops without a jar and
runs with very little vibration. I am Im
mensely pleased with it."
General Superintendent W. I.. Park, who
made the trial trip, was delighted. He
said;
"It was a pretty run all the way from
Valley. The car has proven a success even
as great as out hopes, of course Improve
ments will be made, but the successful
railroad motor car la now a reality."
The members of the party on the car
were: W. It. McKeen and Mrs. McKeen,
W. L. Park. N. F. Harrlman, A. W. White
ford, A. II. Fetters, George Thompson, C.
H. Smith, Dr. and Mrs. Connors, Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Cummlngs, Dr. W. O. Bridges
and Arthur Gulou.
Other trips will be made from Omaha
with the car. It Is expected to send It ulti
mately to Portland for service.

The girl fled and has not yet been arrested.
Announcements of the Theaters.
Tuesday evening at the Hoyd theater
Miss Florence Roberts, who has been n
great success as the leader of a stock com
pany on the Pacific coast, and who is now
being starred under the direction of Mr.
Frederick Helnsco, will make her first ap
pearance In Omaha. Miss Roberts has
been a great success In her tour so far,
the critics praising her for her excellent
work generally. At Kansas City she won
the highest of praise, and is heralded as
a stur of the first magnitude. She will
begin her engagement here with "7.ma,"
playing that piece on Tuesday evening and
at a matinee on Wednesday. Wednesday
evening she will present a play never given
in the west, "Marta of the Ixiwiands," a
translation from the Spanish used last
season by Mrs. Flake and pronounced a
literary triumph as well as an excellent
piece of work dramatically. The engage
ment will close on Thursday night with
"Tees of the D'l'rbervilles," another piece
that has never been seen in Omaha.
Much interest Is felt by local musical
people in the coming engagement of Pud
erewskl, announced for the Boyd for Thurs
day of next week, April 13. The return of
this greatest of living pianists is certain to
draw a full attendance of the music lovers
to ths theater.
