THE GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE.

The New York Tribune asserts with sober serious
ness that the great insurance companies of the United
States are preparing new form of policies to be
issued to persons who are total abstainers from all
Intoxicating liquors. with reduction in premiums
of from 10 to 20 per cent over the premiums exacted
from those who admit to moderate use of intoxl
cans This according to the Tribune is based on the
tables of aetuaries, showing that the average dura
ton of life of the total abstaners among the insured
is sufficiently greater than among the moderate users
of intoxcants as to justify the reduction given in
their favor.
The business concerns of this country are doing
more temperance work of highly effective character
and purely for commercial reasons than any other
agency, prompted by any other or more exalted
motives, says the tIntelligencer, commenting
the Tribune statement. Great transportation COM
panes have made rule to discharge peremptorily
any employee using liquor while on duty. Some of
them carry the rule still further and make it cause
of discharge if a man uses intoxicants at any time.
They viii take no chances with employees of that kind
The man who uses intoxieants to excess at any
time finds it more and more difficult to secure to
keep employment. The moderate drinker, who never
goes the line is also falling under suspicion in
many lines of business and his opportunities for EN-
ployment will grow less as the business sentiment on
this subject stiffens more and more, as it WILL
The moderate drinker has heretofore taken CON-
fort in the fact that physicians disagree to the
effects of moderate indulgence in intoxicants upon
the system; and that the great weight of medical
opinion has been with the proposition that moderate
and temperate indulgence in intoxcants is not in
furious; many medical nclining to believe that
in cases it is actually beneficial Now come the in
surance actuaries and shatter this, with the cold
weight of figures.
This is worth quite number of temperance ser
mons. The young man of today finds that he has
difficulty in getting and in keeping employment in
many lnes if he is known to drink at all and now he
finds further that if he desires to carry life nsur.
ance he will be compelled to pay an additional pre-
MUM if he desires to continue to use liquor ntoxi-
cants In any form, even in the utmost moderation It
is quite safe to say the number of total abstainers
will grow proportionately larger year by year.

HAWAII'S RACE PROBLEM.

there is not the same prejudice against the Asatc

against the European immigrant Moreover, it is
difficult to induce Europeans to come to the islands
and settle. Again, many of these Asiatics are Amer

DECREASING USE OF MEAT.

1t probably wasn't entirely due to the arrogance
of the beef trust, of which everybody has heard so
much, that, os Callers has been at pains to show
in recent article Americans are eating less meat
than they did so years or so ago. and are taking more
to the of vegetables cereals and dairy products
The fact that this people altogether too prodgal
in the use of animal food and neglected the cereals
as well as the vegetables by which the food of civ
ilized man is varied We could all afford to eat less
meat, even though we had the price, as the saying
is. There is no doubt an active race, like ours
needs some stimulating food, such as meats afford
for although the japanese are cited as conspicuous
example of what people can do who eat sparingy
if at ALL of meat, it must be remembered we are not
built on the plan. But, again, it must be re-
membered that meat is heating Diet and too liberal
use of it is likely to make the user feverish and
restless That Americans are coming to recognize
that fact is doubtless the true explanation coupled
with the other fact that we have come to know the
nutrtve qualities of the other foods particularly the
cereals. We all remember the story of the Scots
mans retort to the Englshman when told that in
England 1--WE feed oatmeal to the horses" "Aye
and what fine horses ye hae in England, and what
fine men we hae in Scotland"
1t is the testimany of the writer in Golfers
that Americans have grown healthier in the half
century that has seen this change in the national diet
but that much of this result is no doubt do to more
out door life, better sanitation and cookng all of
which is without doubt true He estimates also that
the total use of meat is reduced in the last half
tury to 36 per cent Some of his figures of the con.
sumption of meat in the past are certainly startling

viii watch sugar Conference.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Treasury de-
partment officials are considerably in
terested in the meeting of the perma-
nent sugar commission begun at Brus
sells today. The announced purpose of
the meeting is to draw up regulations
for the control of sweetmeats, and the
treasury officials fear that an attempt
will be made to discriminate against
the American product on the ground
that the drawback allowed by the
United States on refined suger manu-
factured from imported raw materi'
ais is equivalent to bounty. This
view will be resisted by the United
States.
The exports of manufactured sugars
from the United States are small, but
they are constantly growing. In the
fiscal year ending June 80 they amount
ed to 15,3O4,560 pounds, valued at
$52s,616. In 1908 they amounted to
1O,42l ,O55 pounds, valued at $35s,537,
and in 1902 to 7,213,O50 pounds, valued
at $292,7l5. The treasury officials
take the view that no matter how small
the trade is, vigorous effort should
be made to protect it from undue dis
elimination by foreign governments.
