ALCOHOL AND THE LIVER

Some mantihs ago a newspaper headline stated that in examining the liver of alcoholics after death there seemed to be no diflereiice between cirrhosis or hardening of the liver in alcoholics and the same condition in those who drank loft drinks. The implication was thnit soft drinks were as hanrniful or as harmless as alcoholic drinks. This was not the idca that those research workers had in mind. lt is like the story of the alcoholic who challenged the temperance lec- turer, asking “If water will rot the sole of my shoe. what will it do to the lining of my stomach?"

The true condition of the wcrk- ing cells of the liver and kidney is determined by the length of time it.‘ takes these cells to remove harm-v ful or unwanted substances from the blood. A piClllIe of the damage done to the liver cells by alcohol is recorded in "Gastroenterology" istcmach, liver, intestine) by Drs. Walter L. Voegtiiii. William R. Broz and Margery H. Moss. These re- Iearch workers performed tests of hhe working ability of the liver (removing unwanted substances, man/ufacturing bile. storing sugar: on $5 male and 35 female ohrcnic alcoholics (average ago about $3) all of vrhoin wieire froitn the upper and middle closes of society. none being destitute or showing ovid- enoes of alcoholic deteiriorizaticn. They found that there was slow- ness or delay on the part of’ the liver cells in ridding the blood oif harmful substances and in doing their other jobs. That is, there was g sluggishness 1n the work being done in the livcr of the alcoholic. In what is known as ii screening procedure they were able to detect in aill patients some degree of liver damage.

This result does not conifI-ict with Mn report of the research workers who did not find hardening of the liver (cirrhosis) more prevalent in alcoholics, because it is "fatty gen- eration," rather than cirrhosis. that is the resultant damage froiwaloo- hol. The lesson for us from above information is that alcohol does damage the liver by causing fatty degeneration, just as serious a condition as cirrhosis (hcibnail. hardening) of the liver.

Remember that the liver is the largest organ and does more jobs than any other organ.

Pioneer Days In P. E. I.

ly F. H. MacArthur

Those of us who have occasion to travel to and from the Garden of the Gulf to-day do so by plane or ferry, and we give little 1f any thought of the hardship encount- ered by our pioneer forefathers who were obliged to travel tile same route in canoes, small sailing ships, or in winter by ice-boat which had to be pulled part of the trip by the passengers themselves.

‘travelling the winter routes was fraught with real danger, and more than one person lost their lives or else became maimed for life as a result of making the winter crossing in an ice-boat.

Warburton, in his history of the Island, tells us that the first win- ter mail service was effected by means of a canoe. The date was February, I775. The crossing was made between Wood Islands and Nois Scotla. Thus Patterson ls ea- titled to the credit of inaugurat- ing the first winter mail service between the Island and the maili- land.

Not uiitil the winter of 1829-1830 was there an attempt made to send mail passengers by Cape Traverse, although this route had long been

After the Confederation of the Canadian Provinces and winter steamers ferries became a reality, the old route gave place to the present Borden-Tormcntine run. this being the narrowest and con- sequently the shortest distance be- tween the Island and New Bruns- wick.

In those days the mails were not

heavy as they are in our time. Even as late as 1827, the post office in iCharlottetown was the

only institution of its kind on the Island.

Letters remained in the captiol until called for, The postage on a letter from Charlottetown to Hali- fax cost eight pence.

On more than one occasion Indi- ans were employed to carry special dispatches between the Island and Nova Scotla by ice-boat.

In this connection the following ek- tract from a letter 1st March, 1807, from Lieutenant Governor Des- Barres to Cihlef Justice Calcough. then in Halifax, sheds some light on the inconveniences suffered by Islanders owing to the irregularity 0f the mails and lack of proper transportation.

"Nearly 5 months have passed since a line from England has reached the Island. ....In this vieiv chiefly, the Indians, who, with my public dispatches, carry this, are lured to proceed in an ice-boat to the Nova Scotia shore and thence to Halifax, where they are to de- liver the bag of letters to Mr. Char- les Hall, merchant, who will put the letters in a course of being forward to their addi-eses."

The Indians remained at Halifnx for about five days to pick up all letters for the Island.

SHROVI TUESDAY I8 PANCAKE DAY

Pancake Day - an ancient tra- dition still flourishing in our mod- ern world—ls observed each yeor in many parts of the world, always on Shrove Tuesday (the day be fore Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins). Shrove Tueqiay is a gala occasion in England. It's Mardi Gras along the Mediterranean aiul in the Scandinavian countries, and most of Europe it is observed by the preparation of special dishes. In the United Slates the famed New Orleans Mardi Gras reaches its gay climax on Slirove ‘Tuesday.

She has a dozen drcsscs where her mother hod one and she generally is more adept in mixing a drink than she is performing on the gas range. Same way with the man. He wants to step out just as much after marriage as he iiid before. And no young couple would think that they could live without an automobile or going to the movies or any other of liie diversions to which they have been accustomed,

We may say this is all foolish and wrong and the young pcople should start whore their parents did, but it isn't easy to go backwards.

It isn't easy for a girl who has always had lots of pretty clothes to go shabby or for one who all of her life has ridden in an automobile to drug iiround in a street cur. It lsn‘t easy for the boy who has al- ways had good clothes and been able to Indulge himself in everything

isn't easy for those who have always lived in beautiful surroundings to have to live in a shabby little house and cut plain mcals.

And so it is no wonder that when so many young couples wt. have married on a shoestring and the proposition that love is enough. find themselves up against the hard realities of trying to scuffle along on an insufficient income, they declare that marriage is it failure and throw up their hands rind quit.
