TEMPERANCE FACTS.

Measures to promote temperance in
Swiss towns are impeded by the fact
that in nearly all hotels and restau-
rants guests are expected to drink wine
or beer.
In accepting nomination for the lord
mayoralty of Sheffield, England, Alder
man j. Wycliffe Wilson has stipulated
smoking principles are well known,
his colleagues must not expect him
to make provision in these directions
in any Inequalities that may take
place if he is elected.
Three African monarchs, Emperor
Menelil, King Lewanika and King
Khama. have barred the entrance of
drink into their territories. Thus the
war against alcohol is being waged,
and sober and enlightened heathens
are teaching civilized Europeans valu-
able lessons in wise government.-The
Temperance Record.
The board of aldermen of Elizabeth
City, n. c., town of 5000 Inhabitants,
recently passed an ordinance making
it an offense subject to fine for a
minor to smoke cigarettes upon the
streets. The first offender was w. O.
Saunders, editor of local paper. aged
20, who refused to pay his fine of $50,
and was sent to Jail. He has appealed
the case to the supreme court.
Mr.. Henry II. FaXon, the temperance
advocate of Quincy, Mass. has apain
recognized the services of the Chris
tian church in the work of keeping
the city free from liquor control, and
sent his check for 500 each to the 20
clergymen, with his opinion that 1.-The
church holds the key to the situation;
in every city or town the church or
saloon is the ruling factor in govern
ment, and each citizen is serving one

A Boys INFLUENCE.
story of How Charles SpurgeOn
Drove Member of "A Church
from His Cups.

When Mr.. Sturgeon was little boy
he lived with his grandfather, who
was minister. One of his members,
named Roads, often went to the pub
lie house for a drop of beer" This
annoyed his pastor greatly. Little
Charles saw his grandfather's sorrow,
One day he exclaimed: ''I'll kill old
Roads, that | will"
His grandfather reproved him for
saying such a thing. Charles said that
he would not do anything wrong, but
he was going to kill Roads. A day or
two afterwards Charles came into his
grandfather's room, saying: I've
killed old Roads; he'll never grieve my
dear grandpa any more"
His grandfather was perfectly aston
ished, but his grandson said that he
had been about the Lords work.
Some time afterwards Roads called
at the house and told the following
story: Il was a-sitting in the public
house, just having my pipe and mug
of beer when that child come in, and
says: What doest thou here, Elijah
Sitting with the ungodly and you a
member of the church,"
Roads was so struck that he went out
of the pub and fell Before the Lord,
asking His forgiveness. He never
touched beer again.

iNFANTILE MORTALITY.
Statistics Which show 1t Is Less
Among the jews Who Are Free
from Drunkenness

In the paper read by him at the meet
ing of the British Medical association
at Manchester, Dr. j. NJ. Rhodes drew
attention to the comparative lowness
of the infantile death rate among the
Jews in districts where infantile NOR
tally generally is abnormally high. In
Manchester the death rate among chill
dren up to one year was 1913 per thou
sand, but in the district of Cheetham,
which is largely occupied by Jews, the
rate was but 124-lesS than two
thirds of the average The Manchester
figures are not peculiar in thus eXhib-
iting the relative immunity of the
Jewish population. DR.. Maurice Fish
berg, New York physician. has been
studying the mortality statistics
for that city with reference to races.
and finds that the densely populated
wards which are largely inhabited by
Russian Jews had an average death
rate of only 1892, when that for the
whole city was 1888; while in two
where the population is almost eXclu-
sively Jewish. the figures sank to 1852
and 1923. DIR. Rhodes lays stress upon
the general freedom from drunken
ness among the Jews of Manchester as
an important element in the case. and
DR.. Fishberg similarly speaks of the
temperate character of their coreli-
gionists in New York.-LondOn Daily
News.

The COnserva Season.

This is the season of the year when
the wife of the Italian laborer begins
to think of laying in her winter stock
of conserva. Conserva is dish with
out which no Italian family would
think of passing the winter. Every
year about this time the average Ital-
ian housewife may be seen buying
large quantities of tomatoes. The
tomatoes need not be overchoice and
sometimes the softer they are the bet
ter conserva they make. The toma toes
are taken home, put in a press and
then squeezed until every drop of juice
has been extracted. The pulp which re-
mainsis spreadupo a board and placed
in the sun to dry. When it has at
tanned the consistency of putty it is
scraped together and placed in alright
jars for the winter. 1t is used for max
ing sandwiches and sometimes forms
the staple of the laborer's meal.-Lon-

GOLFERS RAPID RISE.
Due to His Ability to Grasp Every
New Problem.
New YOrk's Democratic Candidate
for Governor Is an Illinois Prod
uct-IIis Splendid Record as
City Comptroller.

Bird S. Coler, who was nominated
for governor by the democratic state
convention at Saratoga, y. Y, was
comptroller of New York city under
Mayor Van Wyck, and his record in
that office made him a gubernatorial
possibility several years ago. He is
a member of the firm of W. n. Coler q
H., 80 years ago.
Since Mr.. Coler has been in public life
he has been well advertised. This in
large measure has been due to the
keen appreciation he has of news" in
the professional sense. When the fight
against the great Ramapo grab of
S200,O00,000 was on. several years ago,
Coler was cartooned as the David hurl-
ing his sling a the mighty Goliath of
Graft. When the movement for rapid
transit began to take material shape
it was Coler who championed tunnels
when Van Wycll, then mayor. tried to
put all the surplus city funds into
! bridges. When disclosures were made
as to the reckless way in which the
Tammany corporation counsel was
confessing judgments and allowing
cases to be settled without trial it was
Coler who went to Albany and secured
the passage of restrainiDgIact.
When the fright over water famine
came, and the demand was made for a
new source of supply for New York
city, Coler paid $1,000 from his own
pocket to John r. Freeman, Of PrOvi-
dence, r. l., to make a survey of all
available water sheds. When the West
street grab" was attempted, by which
a private corporation would have en-
circled the water front with a freight
railroad, Coler, with his own funds, EN-
ployed eX-Judge John f. Dillon to pre-
pare an opinion for presentation a the
hearing before Gov. Odell. During the
far years of his term as a city official
