...world conferences of both physicians and scientists, alcohol has been pronounced not a stimulant but a poison, and rightfully belongs with strychnine and the rest. Therefore advertising such a poison as a drink for human beings, in my opinion, is not only contrary to the letter of the law, but most of all, to the spirit...
...that can easily fire into German territory, France has added two more monsters, Hackenberg defending the great industrial city of Metz, and Hochwald near the Rhine within easy shooting distance of Baden. Hackenberg is a marvel of underground mechanics, equivalent to ten dreadnaughts buried in a mountain, connected by poison-gas-tight tunnels and served by miles of subterranean railways on which projectiles and even guns can be rushed from point to point.

Vitreous Humor turned out not at all funny, but Helen herself was never more seductive than the index to Wheeler's "Science of Psychology." The subtle poison permeated the Vagabond's veins, and he found himself choosing from the shelf "The Mentality of Apes." By degrees this enticed him to "Man and Woman," to "The Freudian Wish," and then to Ruth Shoule Cavan's "Suicide." No Vagabond could abandon that shelf without a glance at "The Aesthetic Attitude...
