OUTLOOK FOR DRINK.
All Sig,s Point TO the Oecadence Of the
Alcohol Habit.

The present century nears the
close with every evidence that tn,
twentieth century will witness the
iruition of this present terminating
period OF public opinion in regarc
to drink, says The Union Signal
The foundations for total abstinence
by the individual, and prohibition
for the state, are well laid. They
become all the stronger, all the more
impregnable, year by year Th'
most discouraging condition in thii
country is the extensive beer drink
ing. The amount consumed war
rants the use of the epithet "beer
guzzlers" to Americans as well as tC
Germans, but the world is fas
learning hat beer is an intoxicant
lust in proportion to the amount o
alcohol it contains and the amount
drank. Our army canteens mus
have convinced thousands that mer
can get fighting and numbering
dunk on beer. Science has Ions
taught this same truth, and such ar
object lesson as we have had on a
great scale ought to convince "a
wayfaring man, though fool.
On the other hand it is no longel
polite to show the effects of liquor
| 1t is disgraceful. The use of alco
hol at social pleasures is now wei
nigh discarded except by the two
great extremes of wealth and pov
.rtv.
The medical profess ion will abol
ish alcohol from its pharmacopoeii
in the oncoming century, or at l,as
exclude it as a dietetic. Modern
schools of medicine are all trendinc
that way, and the London Temper
ance hospital and several in this
country are demonstrating the fac
that they secure better results thar
other hospitals. Scientists declar,
that il is not a food nor a requisite
Life insurance companies bring pos
tive proof that the healthiest anc
longest lived are those who are to-
tai abstainers. British and Amer
ican and even barbarian armies have
proved conclusively that the best
fighters in the world are those who
are perfectly sober, and that men
can endure more exposure, more
hardship, longer marches and re-
pell disease more readily without
alcohol. The movement cf armies
in battle and otherwise are fast be-
ing reduced to degree Of scientific
accuracy which precludes anything
except the use of mans best intel
lectual powers at their best, and
this is diametrieally opposed to both
dull sluggishness and wild frenzy.

or they add to the confusion by alb
surd rawlings and ridiculous running
to-and-fro. They fall all to pieces
metaphorically SO to speak, and the
pieces get in everybody's way.
Now, my dear reader and fellow
citizen, you may not know what to
do in an emergency, but rest as
sured that if you keep cool, conceal
the anxiety that is natural for you
to feel, speak a kind reassuring
word to the victim of the emergen-
cy, unless he is beyond speaking ac-
quaintance, prevent kind Dut in
discreet friends from crowding
around too close to the unhappy
one, and throw ignorant curious by
stanGers out of the window, you will
prove to be a friend in need to the
victim of the emergency, and il he
gets over it, he ought to kiss you
for it, that is il he is sweet sixteen
and a nice little girl.
Remember, first, not to get ex-
cited; second, not to be in hurry,
bat make haste slowly; third, if YOU
know wHat to do, do it; fourth, il
YOU don't know what to do, retire
from the scene and go for the doc
tor, who is waiting for you in his
Office, his horse saddled and bridled
and ready for race.

Disp0ses 10 Crime.

Few people realize that the poi
son of alcohol in moderation or ex
cess falls most heavily on the high
er moral brain. A fit of intoxica-
tion is like a blow, a conclusion
from which it is very doubtful il
full recovery follows. The fine
sense of honor and high ethical
moral conct ptions are injured; a
change has taken place, which is
Increased by every glass of spirits.
The continuous use of spirits per-
mits no recovery to follow, the an
aesthesia and depressing effects
grow and deepen, and all power to
Judge Of higher claims in life be
comes feebler. Criminality may
not appear, but the conditions are
favorable. The soil is prepared and
only awaits a favorable opportunity y
to break out into criminal acts.
This fact is recognized in part by
many great corporations, who re-
fuse to put moderate drinkers in
places of trust, thus acknowledging
their moral weakness and inability
to bear temptations. Thus in many
ways the stupor, or rather the
action of alcohol leads up
to crime with absolute certainty.
Crime not noted alwaTs in the
court rooms, but crime in the fam
lily, in business, criminal acts in the
everyday's association Of men and
women, in the church and school
and everywhere. Every reader will
recall instances and every year 5 ex
perience brings out the fact with
greater prominence. Union Signal.

From the office of the postmaster
general emanates an order which will
be of interest to the many business
men who for the purpose of advertis-

custom Of using private postal cards.
Heretofore the size, color and general
appearance of the private cards were
restricted by the government. They
could not be out of certain color,
could have but one side covered with
printing, and were other wise restrict
ed. Hereafter the user can have
them printed in any or all colors he
pleases and the card can be written
on both sides provided the address
is plain. 1t is a great improvement
over the old style.-Ex.
