This is, of course, a very important iubjict. I have worked a good deal tmong women; and you have only to work among women to feel what this ubject means. When the wife is a runkard, the home is truly miserable :>r the husband, the children, and the oman herself. The woman will do inything to get. money for drink, writes Mr& Guy- Saint in Temperance. But it is not only women in that class. t is not oily the ignoraat and the criminal wo give way to this; it Is Dften the most intelligent who have fallen the victims to it. Now, how Is t that this takes place? What Is the reason of this extraordinary power that drink has over people? 'If we are going to work amongst women, we must realize what this extraor dinary power of alcohol is. Alcohol has a great effect upon the liver and other organs of the body, but I want to speak especially of the effect on the controlling part of the mind. When any thought comes Into yQUT mind, that thought tries to express it self in action, and it does not do so because you have the controlling pow er, which says, "No, that is not a thing for me to do." Your power of saying "No!" your power ofexpres sion or remaining silent, your power to make you speak when speaging is a great effort-all that is the con trolling power of your mind; and It Is extremely Important, because it helps to make or mar your character. After all, our character is the thing that we are makipg ip this wqrld-the ono thng that we are carrying beyond I. Therefore our character Is extremely' mportant; and alcohol tps an influ ence over that character; it can in jure It, and therefore it Is an extreme ly dangerous thing. How is It that. alcohol has this power over people? How is it that they can so easily takp It to excess? Now, I think there are three points we might take up. The first is that alcohol is always so handy. It is so handy, too, 'in large houses, for the servants can easily get it in many cases. Then, people can now order. it from their grocers, and la41qs can get It at railway refreshment rooms, and so on; you have no Idea of the harm it does. It Is so handy that the temptation Is always there. Then, secondly, there are so many oc casions for taking It. People are so ready to suggest, "Have a little wine, or spIrits." You know, it is the rush of today. We allow no time for any thing; and among the poor people, too, there is a continuous rush. A reat many of the women in our large cities have to be up early to go and clean offices, and they go back again In the evening. It Is always a rush to and fro, and during' these rushes they think they will have just a little of this and that, instead of taking food, which is what they want. All these women want teaching, and that is what we have to do-try to educate the women. We' do want these women to realize that alcohol is not a thing to fall back upon. .They use it for an emergency, and once you begin to make emergencIes, they come one after another. Alcohol is not the best thing to nurse u'pon. You want plenty of fluid, that is true; only a good nursing mother wants to be as placid and as calm as possible, and alcohol Is not conducive to placidity and calmness. Nursing mothers are much better by taking plenty of milk, even weak tea, or pure water. The third reason is: How do we know in taking aleohol when we have had suf Sicient? "Oh,' you say, "any one with a little common sense knows that." Now, this is a very Important point. You say you know. It is your judg ment or discretion that teaches you when you have had enough. We find that alcohol, even in small doses, in fluences your judgment; your, judg ment Is not so good after you have taken alcohol as it was before you did, so. It is this judgment on which you are depending as to whether you have had enough. Your judgment that you were going by has been altered. I think that, if you consider these points you will partly understand the reason why so many take to drink to excess. Lasty, alcohol is absolutely unneces sary to health. Is It safe to deal with a beverage which has such very real botential dangers? Poverty by Alcohol. General Booth, in his book, "Dark es~t England and the Way Out," In speaking of the drink traffic, says: "Nine-tenths of our poverty, squalor, vice and crime spring from this poi sonous tap-root. Society, by its hab its, customs and laws, has greased the slope down which these poor creatures slide to perdition. "No one fact, other than the hard ract of poverty itself, confronts social workers, in whatever field they may be engaged, so constantly as alcohol Scotland's Drink Bill. When we compare Scotland's drink bill for 1902 with 1910 we are sur prised at the enormous reduction with in the period. In 1902 Scotland was spending on liquor 23 12s 2d per head, but in 1910 it had fallen to ?2 l 2d-19s less per head than in 1902. That is to say, Glasgow saved over ?800,000, and Edinburgh over ?300, 000. None of that mpney went into the drink trade.-Everybody's Month HOME-MADE PHILOSOPHY Fun is not all foolishness. We need sunshine in our hearts as well as sun shine in ot~r homes. The world is a big book. Schools ca only give us the key to solving many of its problems.

TARIFF AND THE TRUST! High Authority Gives Voice to Opin~ .Ions That the Country Will I Do Well to Heed. .Tohn H. Davis, head of the bank Ing house of John H. Davis & Co. beieyes that thec long session of con gress that will convene soon need nol be looked forward to with appreheg slon, for he believes that It will takI rational action upon big public ques tions, including a consideration of legislation to regulate "trust" activt ties and probably a reduction of the tariff. In the November circular o: his house he says: "What the country seems to be los ing sight of Is the obvious truth that the root of the American trust evil is the protective tariff law. Our trusts are effects and not causes. They are the direct outcome of the tariff. The high prices by which they profit and for which they are blamed are the re uts e prohibitive duties upon imports, without which such prices could- not be maintained no matter to tided. It is most unIfortunate that this basic fact is not kept more prom inent before the American people. whose anti-t'rust sentknent is only the expression of a revolt against high costs. "It Is relief from the high cost of living that the country demands, and the agitation should be, first of all, for tariff reduction. With that accom-, plished, the trust question will take care of itself. Without it, neither prices nor monopoly will be con trolled. It may be doubted * that cheaper tobacco will result fram the . disintegration of the tobacco trust, but It is certain that it would follow the lowering of tobacco duties. It is unlikely that steel products will fall much in price if the steel trust is dis solved, but no one will question that they would be materially lower if the duties on imported steel were re duced. Indeed, the proposition is so obvious that It admits of no argu ment. Lower the tariff and inflation will cease. Monopoly extortion, ex- th cessive capitalization and high costs at will disappear. Competition of the tr proper sort-that of America with the si: whole world-will be restored and the hi natural development of our superior tv resources and of our oommercial W ability will follow."-New York Times.

In place of that conceit of our human Importance, we have gained the thought of God as the soul of the universe and made the old doctrine of his presence everywhere something more than a cold dogma. If we can no longer localize the New Jerusalem (there was a man, I re member, who wrote a book to prove that the globe within the sun was our heaven), we are learning to think that this earth Is given us to make as much like heaven as we can.

The French National league against alcoholism declares that France is in danger of death from drink: "Alcohol desolates our most beautiful prov inces. Normandy, Brittany, the Vosges, Picardy, Maine. In Orne the decrease of population has been 80,000 In twenty-five years. in Manche 75,000, In Normandy 200,000. Infant mortal it Is appalling, and conscripts by scores are found unfit for service." In Orn one report states, 57 Der cent. of those summoned to the col prs were rejected, In March, 50 per cent., in the Vallee des Vosges, 60 per cent., and the drink evil is large ly responsible. The military authori ties calculate that France loses an army corps each year through alcohol. Dr. Jaques Bertillon, the famous criminologist, who has made astonish ing researches Into the relation of al cohol to tuberculosis, estimates, In the Revue de Tuberculosis, that a suc cessful fight against alcohol in France would reduce th'e number of deaths from consumption yearly by some 16, 000 more. What steps can. be taken are being discussed by the authori ties in some localities, but widespread scientific education on the subject of the baneful effects of alcohol 4nust be promoted before a radical change for the better can be looked.for In France.
