WHY A CHILD LOVES SUGAR.-The
craving of a child Cor sweets is well
known to be one Of tie most imperious
of their appetites. It has reference
probably to that ceaseless activity
which especially characterize the age
of childhood. 1t may be that sugar
performs in their systems the part en-.
acted by fatty substance in the bodies
of adults. AS it undergoes oxidation

Of the albuminois bod upon which
their growth depends. In respect to
these of1ccs it is therefore nearly ~
sential to their well-being. And yet
how strong, for generations, has been
the prejudice against sugar! Under
what difficulties, and in the face o.
what discOuragements and protests,
have our children obtained the luxury.

The Revenue From LIQUOR.
HOW 1T MIGHT BE REPLACED IF THE TRAFFIC
WERE STOPPED.
MRS. GRUMPY.

In the National Temperance Advocate
we find the following from Mr.. j. A. Mo.
watt The question has been raised by
opponents of the prohibition of the LIQUOR
traffic Where is the revenue now raised
by duties and licenses to come from if this
business be prohibited 2 1t is admitted on
all hands-no one questions it-that drink
ing keeps the masses of the people poor.
The more revenue that we raise by duties
on liquors, the poorer we are making the
mass of the population, and the less able
to pay taxes. The duty on spirits is one
OF the lowest taxes in this country that
is to say the Government gets less than ten
per cent of the gross expenditure on drinks
for the exchequer than from any other ont
lay OF the population. Let drinking be
stopped, and those in rags and wretchedness
now willthen wear broad cloth and silks. and
the revenues will derive more from the one
source than from the other. This was es-
tablished beyond doubt in Ireland in Faith
er Mathews day. The consumption of
drink was reduced from 4 900 600 gallons
TO 100000 gallons. 1t was asserted that
the revenue would suffer by this move
ment. The contrary was the fact-there
was an increase to the revenue through
the purchasing and consumption of home
comforts instead of drunkard making
drinks.
The loss to this Republic is so great
through intemperence, and even through
Tue mouerate consumption of Intoxicating
liquor there are SO many hundreds of
millions of dollars wasted in drinks; there
is 30 much poverty, crime, lunacy, disease
and death produced by drink, and left a
burden on the community, that it would he
vast advantage to the nation to wine ont
the entire traffic, root and branch, and for
the people to make up the amount of the
revenue from fairly adjusted income and
property tax. The many millions of the
population now kept in poverty by drink
ing would be able to pay an income and
property tax equal to the whole whiskey
revenue if they We're only a sober, industri
GUS and thrifty people. 1t is CHILLING the
goose that laid the golden egg" to replen-
lsh the revenue through the whiskey still.
better-by far better-encourage and fos-
ter sobriety and thrift amongst the popula-
tion and as they increase in wealth, and
the whole country in capital in conse-
quence, the revenue cannot suffer. A So
Der, industrious people can afford to pay
taxes. Taxes cannot be got from an i'm
poverished community.
