DIR. Benjamin Warde Richardson,
reporting his practice in the London
Temperance Hospital, says of the
treatment of rheumatism without al
cohol: "Out of II cases of acute or
subacute rheumatism, the large ma
jority acute, and attended with tenn
peratures moving up to 104o Fair,
SO recovered, and 2, although they
were discharged without being put
on the recovery list, were SO far re-
lieved that few days change in
country air seemed all that was re-
quired to induce full restoration.
Comparing the experience of the
treatment of acute rheumatic disease
without alcohol with that which |
have previously observed with alco-
hol, [ can have no hesitation in de-
claring that it is Of the greatest adj
vantage to follow total abstinence alb
solutely in this disease. The pain
and swelling of joints is more quick
ly relieved under abstinence, the few
er falls more rapidly, there is less
frequent relapse, and there is quicker
recovery"
Mrs. Sarah A. McClees, national
supt Of department of soldiers and
sailors, is spending another winter in
Southern California. She is still tax
ing aggressive measures against the
beer saloon, in military reservations
and in the various branches of the
National Homes for Disabled Volun-
teer Soldiers. The central branch
located at Dayton, O., has the largest
number of inmates, having capacity
for accommodation of SIX thousand
men. The beer-hall is 12Ox5O feet in
size, large enough for 300 men. It |
is filed with drinkers nearly all the
time; the quantity of beer sold and
consumed being forty barrels daily, |
which brings in revenue of five
hundred dollars each day to the
Home. Surely, the United Stat es
Government makes drunkards on
large scale, Who can calculate the !
returns from this investment?
When labor is most disturbed |
when the demand for advanced wages
is the loudest, when strikes are the
most frequent, when hunger and
misery are most rife in the homes of
the poor, the saloon fourishes still.
There may be no bread at home, but
there is always beer and whisky at
the bar, and the men who consider
themselves the victims of circum-
stances or the "thralls" of capital,
squander their earnings and spend
their savings in these dens> Can
there be serious labor question
while this state of things continues?
Can working men talk grayely of
their wrongs while it is plain to all
the world that if they only saved the
capital they earn they would be COM
