" Every branch of legitimate trade has a direct pecuniary interest in the absolute suppression of the liquor traffic. Every man engaged, directly or in- directly, in the liquor trade, whether he knows it and means it or not, is an enemy to society in all its interests, and inflicts a mischief upon every in- ' dividual in it. The trade ' is an infinite evil to the country and an infinite misery to the people." 2 — — ! After Forty Years.

The faith that goes on fighting—through the night It notes the gleam of each far distant star; It sees the glimmer of the dawning light Deep in the dark that shrouds the things that are. It has done much, this faith serene and strong, Unmindful of the ashes of defeat, But, trusting in the right against the wrong, Has been as trumpet call or drum's loud beat.

To drive out fear for cheer in children's hearts.

The American Prohibition , Year Book in its issue for -1910, comes before the public for the tenth year. Its cir- culation extends to all parts of the world. The Year Book is generally conceded to be the highest authority on the American liquor problem. Business men, Clergymen, stu- dents, and temperance workers everywhere, receive its facts and arguments as coming from one who speaks with au- thority. Great care is taken in the compilation of statistics and facts, so that they may be used with safety by those who want to circulate only the truth on this stupendous Governmental question. This volume is not perfect, but its friends will probably declare that it is an improvement over previous editions. The book iiis been enlarged again this year, in order to cover the many phases of the battle for prohibition. The managing editor of this volume has been Fred D. L. Squires, the capable editor of the Associated Prohibition Press, who has prepared and arranged the splendid material in this book. We are indebted to United States government officials, governors of states and other distinguished citizens, in- cluding scientists and temperance workers throughout the world, who have heartily cooperated in making the Ameri- can Prohibition Year Book a complete and authoritative compendium. « It is hoped the American Prohibition Year Book for 1910 will be as kindly received in America and in foreign coun- tries as have been its predecessors and that it may be helpful in building up the Prohibition Reform throughout the earth. The contents of this Year Book, as heretofore, are copy- righted, but permission is at all times freely given to editors, speakers, writers, campaign committees and field workers for the use of any material herein, upon request.

In the present opinion, the CONTAM Panel 16 concluded that this ARfD is applicable for acute effects of CN regardless the dietary source. Estimated 17 mean acute dietary exposures to cyanide from foods containing CNGs did not exceed the ARfD in any 18 age group. At the 95th percentile, the ARfD was exceeded up to about 2.5-fold in some surveys for 19 children and adolescent age groups. The main contributors to exposures were biscuits, juice or nectar 20 and pastries and cakes that could potentially contain CNGs. Taking into account the conservatism in 21 the exposure assessment and in derivation of the ARfD, it is unlikely that this estimated exceedance 22 would result in adverse effects.

  • July 29, 2013 Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History
    July 29, 2013 Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History No single aspect of Wisconsin’s history, regulatory system or ethnic composition is responsible for our alcohol environment. Many statements about Wisconsin carry the implicit assumption that our destructive alcohol environment (sometimes called the alcohol culture) has always been present and like Wisconsin’s geographic features it is unchanging and unchangeable. This timeline offers an alternative picture of Wisconsin’s past. Today’s alcohol environment is very different from early Wisconsin where an active temperance movement existed before commercial brewing. Few people realize that many Wisconsin communities voted themselves “dry” before Prohibition. While some of those early policies are impractical and even quaint by modern standards, they suggest our current alcohol environment evolved over time. The policies and practices that unintentionally result in alcohol misuse are not historical treasures but simply ideas that may have outlived their usefulness. This timeline includes some historical events unrelated to Wisconsin to place state history within the larger context of American history. This document does not include significant events relating to alcohol production in Wisconsin. Beer production, as well as malt and yeast making were important aspects of Wisconsin’s, especially Milwaukee’s, history. But Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, its late President, Edmund Fitzgerald, industrial giant Allis Chalmers, shipbuilding and the timber industry have all contributed to Wisconsin’s history. Adding only the brewing industry to this time-line would distort brewing’s importance to Wisconsin and diminishes the many contributions made by other industries. Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History 1776: Benjamin Rush, a physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, is considered America’s first temperance leader.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Carry A. Nation Hatchet Brooch Catalog #: 1975.1.80 Donor: Marjorie Bryant
    Donation of the Month Object: Carry A. Nation Hatchet Brooch Catalog #: 1975.1.80 Donor: Marjorie Bryant Legend has it that in May 1881 the first business to open up shop in the newly founded town of Rogers was a saloon. Even though it only consisted of a couple of jugs of homebrew sitting on the back of a wagon, the new business was sure to have pleased some and dismayed others. Over a century later alcohol is still a hot topic in Benton County as leaders, business owners, churches, and residents debate the wet/dry issue. Should the county remain “dry” and continue to prohibit the sale of alcohol except in private clubs or should it go “wet” and allow liquor stores to open up shop? The late 19th and early 20th centuries were troubled times. Laws weren’t enforced, corruption was epidemic, and there were few social services for addicts or the poor. Women became reformers because of their perceived societal roles as moral guardians and defenders of the home and family. Female activists used speeches and demonstrations to educate the public and encourage male lawmakers to legislate morality at a time when women didn’t yet have the right to vote or serve in public office. Carry Amelia Moore Gloyd Nation (1846-1911) was one such reformer. Born in Kentucky and raised in Missouri, in 1865 she met and married Dr. Charles Gloyd, a medical practitioner and school teacher. His love of drink, picked up during times spent idle in Civil War camps and continued during social activities with the Masons, caused a rift in their marriage.
