WINGED there were many in whom the
tendency to sugar pluttouy had be-
come so strong in their infatuation
that it resembled the craving of a
drunkard for liquor. says the st.
James Gazette Such saccharomaniacs
showed early disappearances of the
teeth, and other grave troubles. lie
thought future scientists would place
the evils of sugar gluttony on a pedes-
ia! as conspicuous as the drink ques-
ton as causing deterioration of indi-
yiduals and races.
The views expressed by the eminent
specialist, however sensational they
may appear. are amply borne ont by
facts. and medical opinion generally
1lds that the serious deterioration Of
Children is directly attributable 10 the
great consumption OF sweets and 10
the ingredients of which the bulk OF
these are compoun ed. A well-known
doctor said that pure sweets in them
selves, and taken moderately, would
not be seriously harmful. But cOnfec-
tione Y was made so cheap nowadays
that ne poorest ingredients and many
dangerous chemicals had to be used.
one of the largest confect'oners in
London revealed the methods em
ployed in the manufacture of cheap
sweets by the INSCRIPTIONS firms in
the east end of London, who do a
huge business IN these goods at four
ounces a penny,
There is 4 LOT of adulteration in the
sweet trade, unfortunately, and,
strangely. it has never received pro, n
attention. Cochineal is used on 2 We Y
large scale to color toffees and in the
making of several varieties of drops.
Tons of the fruit sweets are quite IN
nocent of fruit and are colored by
chemicals. Chocolates are another line
which lends easily to adulteration, and
some vile substitutes for the pure
cocoa butter are in the market.
Then these firms use cheap glucose,
which. as has been found over and
over again. contains arsenic or some
other poisonous matter, and sinca
brewers have fought shy of the ma
tcrial. huge quantities of inferior GIN
cose have found their way to these
hack-stairs confectioners. Some OF
these people. too, make their toffees
and sticiaw from treacle of the most
injurious kind and much of the butter
toEees and butter scotch sold at abom-
inably low prices contain more bad fat
grease than butter"

THOUGHT AND LIFE.


Right or wrong conduct is based
upon thought As nlan thinketh so
he acts. Believing the world is gov
erned by cruelty and injustice man
himself becomes unjust. Believing
that social progress is largely Il myth,
that evil is stronger than good, he
cea-ses to fight the battle of righteous
ness from sheer desperation about the
issues
In citizenship thousands of men and
women are evading their civic duties
simply from profound disbelief in the
recuperatiye power of social forces,
Politics are corrupt and irredecmaby
so. they say. business is covert form
OF brigandage, commercialism is polite
throat-cutting. WHATS the use
The remedy for much of our civic
inaction is a reconstruction of our
faith ina tie final supremacy of right
things and forces. We shall never
have better things anywhere until an
increasing number of people think we
can have them.

NEED OF BIBLE TRAINING.
BY Rev, william p. Merrill

BY Rev. William p. Merrill.
Human life is tangle of problems.
But one thread has in it the secret of
unraveling the mass; il is the training
of children. Find out what to do with
the little child, aud you solve all prob
lens. The greatest thing that ever
happened TO the worlds life was the
birth of a little babe; we still observe
the anniversary as our happiest day,
Yet we treat the child too often as his
world treated him mo room for
him as child; no Use for him when
he grew to manhood; only TO be cut
off, killed, put out of the way
The great need and right of every
child is a knowledge of the Bible.
want to make clear three propositions
ID every child needs and has a right
to the Bible; (2) the school does not
give it to him; 81 the church and the
home are the only institutions that can
give it TO him.
Every child needs the Bible. He
needs it for culture The best minds
say so. Matthew Arnold and Thomas
H. Huxley, agnostics. pleaded that the
Bible he made part of the public
school curriculum In Great Britain on
account of its incompatible value for
culture. The child needs 1t for form
ing that most needed force, social
conscience, training him in how TO live
helpfully, not harmfully, with other
people. He needs it above all TO Sc
cure to him a sane and real religious
! experience.
Now. the school does not give this
| knowledge II can not. Once it did.
The curriculum in the Boston public
school in 1871 was made up altogether
Of religious and moral studies. We
have separated church and state. 1t
is well we have. Our school system,
| even as It is, is immensely better than
that of Boston. 1871. But our schools
do not and, in the present status of
things. can not give definite knowl-
/ edge Of the Bible or uI Inc Christian re-
| lgion to the pupils.
So we reach our third proposition
/ the church and the school are the only
| institutions that can train the children
| in biblical knowledge. THIS empha-
sizes the Importance of the church
/ Sunday school, kindergarten and other
means of religious training of the
/ young No work is more important
| for the church than this.
But. above all, such work of bibli
cal training belongs to the home, tc
faiAer and mother-both. for the faith
er can not throw the whole burden on
his wife. You, fathers and mothers
can give your child the best part OF
! his education. and you have the sol
emn knowledge that If you do not give
it he will never sc it as he should

The All Star Cast Revival of a Great
Play.

James O'Neill, who plays the Cheva-
ller de Vaudrey in the 1.-TWO Orphans"
which comes to the Valentine theatre
Tuesday, December 27, is widely
known through his association with
"Monte Crlsto." Mr.. O'Neill is con-
sidered one of the best eXponents of
the old school, combined with the more
natural methods of the present day.
He has enacted the title role of "Monte
Cristo" over 1900 times. Another
noted actor in the cast is Louis James,
who has been starring at the head OF
his own company in classic plays for
the past ten years. j. E. Dodson,
noted character actor, who created'a
sensation by his impersonation of ST.
mondes in Klaw & Changers produc-
tion of ben Hur." will impersonate
Pierre Jameson Lee Finney, who
plays Picard, the humorist valet of the
Chevalier de Vaudrey, attained fame
by his portrayal of Lord Robert Ure in
the production of the ", hrlstlan."
The leading women of the cast are
Grace George, Sarah Truax, Mrs. lie
Moyne, Elita Proctor Otis, Bijou Fer
nandeZ and Clara Morris, who plays
the role of Sister Genevieve. Miss
Grace George who plays the character
of the blind girl, Louise, has been a
star during the past five years. This
season and last she appeared in ver-
sion of "Peg Wellington" that OF
"Pretty Peggy" under the direction of
William A. Brady. Elita Proctor Otis
who plays the part of La Frochafd is
perhaps one of the greatest emotional
actresses the America stage has ever
known. Mrs. LeMoyne, who appears
as the countess made her first reputa-
tion as a reader. She was so success
full in this line of work that she was
induced to make her debut on the pro-
fessional stage. Miss Sarah Truax,

new TIME SCHEDULE
T. b. G. & S. Traction Cars will
run over New Line January |,

With the coming of the first of the
new year the Toledo, Bowling Green
u Southern Traction company will
begin service into Toledo oyer its
own line.
To cut down the time Superintend-
ent Will Smith has decided to try an
innoyation in having only regular
numbered stops. He has selected
eighty nine points between the two
terminals of the road and stops will
be made there by every car, beginning
Dec. %.
Although it may be a trihe un-
handy for some people it will greatly
facilitate speed and the company de-
sires the corporation of all its patrons
in its efforts.
Numbered signs will be hung at
each stop, which at no point in the
country will be more than a mile
apart. The innovation will be intro
duced Dec. % to allow the patrons of
the road some little time to get used
to it before the faster schedule is put
in operation.
With the new schedule which will
go into effect the first of the year
there will be hourly service and cars
going north and south will meet in
Bowling Green at the even hour.
Sometime in January limited SER
vice between Findlay and Toledo will
be begun. A schedule of one hour
and fifty minutes will be arranged for
the cars which will probably make
three trips each way day.
Two new cars have been purchased
by the traction company and will be
delivered soon, which will be used on
the fast runs.
The limited ears will only stop at
the following points between Findlay
and Toledo: Mortimer, North Balti-
more, Cygnet, Bowling Green and
Maumee.
Work on the line into Toledo is
progressing swiftly and everything
will be in readiness for its opening by
Jan. l ora few days after. The bridge
has been completed and the track
nearly to the city limits of Toledo or
the west side of the river is about fin
lshed.
With the new arrangements the 7
B. G. & S. cars will not reach Perrys
burg, branching off about one mile
and one-half from the Perrysburs

The JOURNAL is much pleased to
note the improvements of the town
hall as compared with its condition of
a few years ago, but we will respect
fully call the attention of the Trus-
tees to few matters that should be
improved at once. The walls, ceiling
and woodwork that has undergone
great improvement by way of repairs
and re-painting, and especially the
new scenery that has recently been
added is in great danger and is be-
coming much injured ON account of
the SCOT that arises from the old
stoves which are used for burning soft
coal. The heating powers of these
two stoves are inadequate, and the
hall cannot be kept comfortable on a
cold night. The stoves are old and
very unsafe and are in danger of be-
ing the cause of conflagration thai
may result in the destruction of the
building. The hall is a valuable
piece of property, and the improve
ments that have been recently made
have placed it in toogood condition tC
permit of any neglect at this time
We commend the Trustees for what
they have done and hope they vii
finish the work properly.
