AN INGENIOUS THEORY.

Mir. Edwin Reed has put forth little book irf which he deals with the temperance question in rather novel way. He denies that the craving for stimulants is an instinct, as has been claimed, or that there is "ner- vous" belt of country in which it chiefly arises. He thinks it comes from the lack of proper nourishment by adequate food. He states that in the nations where incompetence most fourishes the people live in state of semi-starvation. There is 8 struggle for
 food throughout the incorporate belt of ter
 ritory. Instances of deprivation and statis-
 tics are presented that are appalling. The
 main proof that intemperance is result of
 temperance, is found in the fact that intem-
 perance exists just in proportion as the difi'
 cuIty of obtaining food exists. In the trop'
 les there is cheap and abundant food and lit. tle intemperance. As habitation recedei from the tropics the difficulty of getting { living increases and intemperance increases with it. In the one locality the poorer clss of the population are able to reach that stan dard of living consistent with the mainte nance of the mental and bodily powers 1, full natural vigor. In the other they ar' compelled to the lowest standard of livini which men can endure without fatal conse quences. Baron Liebis is quoted in thi connection as saying: 'It is an exception tt the rule when weli-fed man becomes spirit drinker."
