BAN ON MODERATE DRINKING Employers of Prominent Rsilway Sys tem Prohibit Employes From \ Touching Alcoholic Liquor. The use of alcohol is receiving some hard knocks these days. A prominent railway system, not contented with the general rule heretofore in force on rail ways forbidding employes to drink while on duty, now forbids employes to indulge at all in drinking out of em ployment hours, or in any other con duct which -will impair their health or make them less alert and less cap able while on duty. The owner of one of the nation's pets-a prominent baseball team-announced that mod eration in drinking is not sufficient; the players on his team must leave alcohol entirely alone and abondon cig aret6. The justification for such rules may be found not only in the difficulty of being moderate in indulgence, but also in the cumulative and after-ef fects of dissipation. The world is moving; the old fetish of "personal lib erty" at whatever cost of danger to (he public at large seems tc be losing its power. The time may come when even' man to whom the life and safety of others are entrusted may be ex pected or even required to be as ab stemious as the bali players and rail way employes just mentioned.-Jour nal American Medical Association. INTEMPERANCE ?S A DISEASE Dr. Maxmillian Grossman Declares the Question Is One to Be Handled by the Doctors. In an address before the last In ternational Congress of Hygiene in Washington, D. C., Dr. Maxmillian Grossman, director of the National As eoclat'on for the Study and Education of Exceptional Children, declared that intemperance was a disease and a question to be handled by the doctors. The utterance has been widely quoted in the liquor press as bolstering up the arguir.c-nts of the anti-prohibition ists. What all thinking, common sense people ask is that thc manu tacture and sale of that which direct ly causes this disease of intemperance be forbidden by law. "Our national health is physically our greatest as set," wrote Theodore roosevelt, when president of the United States. "To prevent any possible deterioration of the American steck should be a na tional ambition. The preservation of national vigor should be a matter of patriotism." The alcohol question is therefore a national issue. WHAT HIS FAMILY RECEIVED In Making Temperance Speech Eng lish Workingman Makes Startling Illustration With Bread. In Manchester, England, a working man was making a temperance speech. He held in his hands a knife and also a loaf of bread. Drawing the knife across the loaf and taking off a slice of moderate size, he said, "This is what you give to the city govern ment." He made another and larger section, and added, "And this Is what you give to the general government." He now made a tremendous slash with his knife that cut away a quan tity of bread equal to three-quarters of the entire loaf. "This," he said, "you give to the brewer." The rem nant after all this amputation was only a thin slice. The larger fraction of this he allotted to the public-house, and of the few crumbs left he 6aid, "And this you keep to support your self, and your family." The drunk ard's children know this well. What Is Wanted. What the temperance men want is not the regulation of the liquor traffic, but its destruction; not that ita de struction; not Its evils should be cir cumscribed (idle fancy), but that they should, to the full extent of the state's ability, be utterly eradicated. No 6hilly-shally legislature can endure, and it would be good for nothing if it could. Stave in the heads of the barrels, put out the fires of the dis tilleries, confiscate the demijohns, bottles and glasses that ha ve been pol luted by the infernal traffic.-Horace Greeley. What Temperance Bringa. More of good than we can tell; More to buy with, more to sell; More of co .nort, less of care; More to eat and more to wear; Happier homes with faces brighter; All our burdens rendered lighter; Conscience clean and minds much stronger; Debts much shorter, purses longer; Hopes that drive away all sorrow; And something laid up for tomorrow. Before and After. There are now hundreds of children in i Knoxville with clothes and shoes to wear and something to eat who went naked and hungry when saloons were here.-W. P. Chandler, Chief of Police of Knoxville, Tenn. Great Barrier. "I can desire nothing better for this great country than that a barrier, high as Heaven, should be raised be tween the unpolluted lips of the chil dren and the intoxicating cup."-John B. Gough. ALONG THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY Magnificent Idea Would Be to Plant | Fruit cr Nut Trees or. Each Side of the Road. Away back in 1769 the Bavarian government isued a decree requiring all land owners to plant fruit trees along the public highways bordering their estates, and the work was sys tematically under way about the mid dle of the last century. And new it is said that Bavaria has a weaith of fruit trees, amounting to something like $170,000,000. Such a requirement might impose something of a hardship upon small estates and farm lands in America, but one wishes that public sentiment might have influenced the establish ment of so gracious a custom a hun dred years agc. apportioning the bur den wherever it belonged. Fancy the pleasure of a walk or a drive alor.!? public highways in the gala spring time of the year, with trees just bursting into blossoming glory! Our grandfathers and our great-great grandfathors failed to leave us the beautiful r.r.d valuable heritage, but it is never too late for a beginning. And without any consideration of the prac tical end of it, its feasibility or ora-, erwise, why could not such a move- ? ment be started in America, jun a j movement, based upon pride rather ; th;?n compulsion? We have our dreams of the coun-1 try beautiful and we expect that j sometime we shall have reason to, grow glad and proud of the wonderful stretches of land that can hold their! own throughout tho world. And in j those dreams nut trees are just a? riotously abundant as the mr: t luscious, but not more tempting, fruit trees. FOR THE LAWN OR PARKWAY | The Crnn=. cs an Ornament, Way Truly Be Considered as Abso lutely Indispensable. As an ornament In the lawn or park way the canna has become ir.:::; pensable. I: is noted for its endurance of the hot sun. Its leathery fol?ale- \ always looks fresh and green: t.*:<; hotier the sun the more abundantly the cannas flower. Cannas aiso do well in the shade although they (lower far less freely under such conditions. Cannas shou'J be p?an?ed in very rich garden soil, which should be mixed if possible in equal proportions with well rotted manure. When the plants axe growing freely they should be watered freely. ?<t the plants IS inches apart each way and if more than one kind is used be careful to plant the taller varieties in the center of the bed-if it be cir cular-with the dwarf varieties outside or in front. Varieties may be obtained which will reach the height desired. Canna beds as a rule should be plant ed to a single color. An excellent bor der for a canna bed is salvia. There are hundreds of named varie ties of cannas, with large flowers and with small, tall and dwarf growing. A large variety in color both of blossoms and foliage may be obtained. Should plants which have been started in a greenhouse be set out. they should not be transplanted until ali danger of frost is passed. Artistic Park Building. In small cities and towns we And but one park, as a rule, and this ot very limited extent. Scientific plan ning and planting will make this area appear several times as great and pos sess at the same time the highest ar* tistic value. Gracefully winding reads and paths, with changing views and vegetation at each new turn will make a very small park or garden seem of unusual interest and extent. It must not be thought from iiiz foregoing that the very best effects may be gained in this way or that the fundamental elements of a fair sized park are its roads, paths, and other accessories, for these are really its necessary evils. The essential ele ment in an ideal park is its natural landscape beauty, the undulations ot surface; canyons, hills, long level stretches, or water, etc. All these, In proper combinations and modifications work the, ceaseless change and give a fresh charm to every part. After this comes the vegetation, and last of all those most distinctly man-made things, as: walks, drives, bridges, buildings, etc. Don't Expect Too Much. Though this is the land of big things, of marvelous growth and de velopment, even in plant life, T\e must not expect to have a finished garden In a day. An attractive picture of a park or home grounds cannot be built In a day, week, month or year. Prop erly to plant-the proper stuff, in proper place and at proper distance apart-requires much knowledge, ex perience and 6tudy, with not a lil tie I Ingenuity or genius; also an artistic taste. Now that we have all of i* put down on paper, it must appear that this work should be dene only by or. j experienced in the work. The wor - in too many gardens is absolute!., meaningless; there is no good reaso.: why the plants are placed where they are. Such places have no character. -Los Angeles Herald.
