For God and Home and Natipe Land

The nonsense that "beer is better
than milk" has received a stab this
time, not from prohibition paper
but from the Wine and Spirit Gazette.
It says: "The less said about the salu-
tary effect of our modern beer with it's
various chemical ingredients, the bet
ter it will be for the interests of our
big brewers, many of whom are but
too anxious to draw out of the bust
moss by accepting the offers of the
English syndicates. 1t is notorious
that our brewers seldom drink their
own beer or the product of any other
brewery. At the places which they
frequent, and at which they take their
meals, or at public picnics and sum-
mer nights festivals which are attend
ed by brewers, it is generally noticed
that these men drink anything but
beer" If beer is healthy, why do our
brewers refuse to drink beer7 When
we have such testimony from liquor
paper, what shall be said of the prac-
tice still adhered to by some temper
ance physicians, of prescribing beer as
a remedy in disease? This same pa
per says, Modern beer taken in ex-
cess tends to develop liver and kidney
diseases; and yet we knew case late
ly where physician recommended the
free use of beer to a poor sufferer by
rheumatism, disease where, above all
things, the liver ought to be kept free
from such filthy intruder in the sys-
tem.--Union Signal.
AS to the personal liberty so highly
lauded by foreigners, it is within the
last few days, that an American on the
streets of Paris tore a letter in pieces
and dropped them on the pavement,
as is done here thousand times
day; moment later he was stopped
by policeman who compelled him to
turn back and gather up the fragments,
which he wisely did rather than suffer
an arrest. And also that in Germany
a man cannot cut down a tree on his
own land without permission from the
government. If he desires to cut one,
the inspector of forests" comes and
decides whether it be proper. If ia
vorable, he hews away place on one
of the roots and afixes stamp with
red-hot iron seal. A stump found
without this would bring the owner of
the land into very serious trouble. The
German idea is that the present occu-
pants of the land are leaseholders for
one generations; that the property be-
longs to the German people; that the
Emperor is the only custodian of the
rights of the future, and he must not
permit this generation to waste what
belongs to the next. It is easy to see
how strong a hold the monarchy thus
secures upon the confidence and affec-
ton of the people. They realize that
but for the foreseeing care of Freder-
lex and William, their forefathers might
have destroyed things that are now of
inestimable value to them, both for
beauty and use." What a commentary
is this when applied to the saloon sys-
TEN of our country. We have here too
much liberty, and wise craftsmanship
would restrain not only an encroach-
ment on the rights of the living, but
also upon the rights of those who are
vet to ive.-Union Signal.

The Need of Good Country Roads.

College professors, civil engineers,
and magazine writer's are directing
public attention to the subject of coun-
try highways, and the Vanderbilt IN
iversity, Tennessee, has gone so far as
to provide for the free instruction in
road engineering of one person from
each county in that State. The Bal
timore Sun, which is agitating the
question in Maryland, points out that
the power required to draw a wagon
weighing, with its load, one ton on q
level, macadamized road of broken
stone is sixtyfive pounds, which is in
creased to two hundred pounds on q
common dirt road. Prof. Ely, of Johns
Hopkins University, estimates that
poor roads cost the farmer, on an av-
erage SIS per horse, and Prof. jerks,
of Knox College, Illinois, argues that
with good permanent roads freight
could often be hauled ten miles on
wagons cheaper than it could be taken
one mile on q dirt road to railroad
station, unloaded, put on the cars, and
carried to its destination. Of the so
clal influences of good roads, he says
that "a large part of the mental in
SEPARATION of the farmers depends on
their ability to attend church lectures,
concerts and social gatherings at a
distance; and really good roads, by
enabling them to 60 SO much more
easily, would doubtless raise the whole
intellectual tone Of the farming com
munity, besides keeping within the.
healthful influence of the farm many
who are now forced into the towns"
