times whiskey was regarded as the
sovereign remedy for snake bites and
bad colds. Few of us are likely to
be bitten by snakes aind even in such
a contingency much better remedies
are available. And for colds whiskey
is more likely to make a bad condi-
tion worse than ta accomjplish any
good. This is even more true as re-
gards penumonia. Formerly whiskey
was supposed to be of some benefit
in certain stages of this disease. Now
it is well recognized that alcohl is one
of the most efficient allies which pne-
umonia has. A person addicted to
the use of alcohol, even im so-called
modcTBito quantities, is botli mcr:

more likely to have a more severe
attack The germs which cause
pneumonia are everywhere present.
Our great safeguard Is not in keeptaK
them out of the body, but of keeping j
up the resisting powers of the body j .
so that they can do no harm. Alcohol \ ^outPutbelnK a **ln of more tham

"Again copper Lands out as the
best illustration of how American
mines can meet a world demand. The
outputu of nearly two billion pounds
of the red metal Is double that of
ten years ago and its value is twice
that of the copper produced in 191-1.
Add to this the fact that in value the
copper now contends with iron for
first place among thu metals and that
together the amount of these two
metals produced last year had a val-
ue of more than one billion dollars
and we have a measure of what this
country can contribute in useful met-
als.
