Rum, Railroads and Real Estate.

The barring of business success to
the drinking man is one of the
weightiest causes in the decline of
drunkenness. Mr.. John Graham
Brooks mas pointed out that the rail
road companies are our greatest
single influence for temperance.
They employ million men, for all of
whom known drunkenness means
dismissal, and to large proportion
of whom saloon visiting is forbidden.
Here are seven per cent. of the adult
males of the country practically
pledged to abstinence.
Another cause which will greatly
| limit the saloon area and influence is
! the number of suburban "parks" and
cottage groups being developed by
private capital, wherein the deeds of
all property sold carry covenants
| against stnuisances" for from ten to
fifty years. In theeyes of thereal estate
man the saloon is the greatest of all
nuisances. He may himself like an
occasional drink, but he will not let it
be sold on his own land. A million
New Workers will soon be living upon
land where no saloon can be main
tanned. And propinquity powerfully
affects habit. The swinging sign of
the saloon suggests thirst; its absence
means sobr1ety. The average man
won't travel far for drink. In time
the influence Of restricted" areas
must be reflected in the choicer resi-
dence sections which are not
restricted. Purely as business
matter, future municipal managers
will inquire why any saloon should be
permitted in a residence section,
where its Inc 7itabIe effect is to
depreciate property all about it. The
money derived from the license, were
it twice as much, cannot compensate
for the loss in taxable values. Is it
good policy for city to thus cheaper
itselt?-New York World.

HOW TO BREATHE CORRECTLY.

1t is strange that so necessary prac-
tice is performed so inadequately.
The newborn infant knows how to
breathe, and many reach adult years
without extending their first knowl-
edge. Breathing simply to exist is
one thing, breathing to live, in its
fullest sense, is quite another.
Deep, voluntary, conscious breath
ing is productive of a far different
physique than the feeble, involuntary
respiration which retains a hold upon
existence.
The air in the bottom of many a
pair of lungs is like the dead air in an
unventilated cellar.
Men breathe from the abdomen be-
cause their dress permits it. A wo-
mans breath is often measured by
her corset string.
A conscious effort must be made to
expel the residual air at the base of
the lungs for chest expansion, blood
publication, radiant health and last
ing beauty.
Deep-breathing exercises, through
the nostrils, never the mouth, should
be practiced night and m orning.
Thorough respiration increases the
red corpuscles of the blood and puri-
fies the entire circulatory system.
Thorough respiration frees the lungs
of the noxious carbon gas and bodily
impurities thrown off in the watery
vapour Of the breath.
Every exhalation of even a healthy
person is rank poison.
What shall be said of the breath of
the sick?
At least ten deep inhalations of
fresh air should be taken upon or be-
fore rising every morning, and the
same before going to bed every night.
These may be taken either in an
upright or recumbent position.
1t lying down, lie fat upon the back,
arms extended, and slowly inhale
through the nostrils. Try to fill every
air cell of the lungs. The abdomen
should rise first, then the chest, as the
lungs become inflated After holding
the breath a little, expel it slowly
through the lips. Fill and empty the
lungs as thoroughly as possible, and
try to realize that health, vitality,
| energy and heauty are in each incom-
ing breath, and impurity, weakness
and disease are being discarded with
every exhalation.
The breath is the life.

THE ETHICS OF THE DISPENSARY.

In these days of solutions that
never solve the liquor problem it is
in point to observe the ethics involved
in the various state monopoly plans,
and we submit the following PROPOSE
lions which no political palaver nor
proud sentimentalism can gainsay:
1. The state dispensary provides
not for determination, near nor
remote, but for indefinite continue
ton of the liquor traffic, and is there
fore violation of the moral law.
Christ came "to destroy the works of
the DEVIL" not to continue them.
2. The dispensary at best aims
only at the regulation of sin, thing
for which there is absolutely no pro-
vision in the moral law.
8. The chief aim of the dispensary
system is revenue, and it is there
fore only another form of barter by
the state in the morals of its people.
4. The system renders the state
dependent upon this source OF
revenue, and so the criminal traffic
tends to permeate the whole social
fabric with it's demoralizing influence.
5. By putting the government in
the liquor business for profit it brings
all the citizens into the demoralizing
position of the saloonkeeper and
under the woe pronounced upon him
who puts the bottle to his neighbours
lips. The great vice of the system is
that instead of private interest of a
private sinner, it establishes com
munal interest in the most vicious
and criminal traffic outside of
perdition.
6. The system tends to govern
mental degeneracy, and to the dissi-
patton of every trace of the desire to
discourage drinking. Wherever it
has been tried the profit feature has
become the buffer against which
every legislative temperance N easure
must strike. Thus temperance legis-
lation gradually decreases and con-
ditions wax worse and worse.
7. The system is high promoter
of political corruption. When the
liquor traffic is run by the state there
is no longer any authority to call that
traffic to account, law is ignored and
politics is debauched. If the state as
liquor seller violates the law, where
is the redress? If, as in South Caro-
lima, the state becomes so corrupt that
it fosters the "blind pigs" that buy
their supplies from the government
and increase it's revenues who shall
say it nay? If, as in that state, the
dispensary becomes a barroom, and
for profit encourages drunkenness,
and fosters crime, and protects crimi-
nails, what shall the people do?
When the state is "the trade" and
its chief business is to sell rum, there
is little chance of any thing being done
to check the evils of intemperance.
I never advise choice of the lesser
of two evils. No Christian has a
right to do that. But as between the
dispensary of South Carolina, and the
vicious license and local option sys'
tenn of Massachusetts, our state is
morally far in the lead. Both systems
are forever wrong and no good man
will consent to either.-Union Signal.
