All this revulsion against drinking
has, of course, not been due to the dev
sire for success. Nor has the drink
evil in this country entirely been
stamped out. But the change In the
habits Of men has been SO marked
and it's cause so directly traceable 20
this desire for success that we, being
an entirely practical nation, must look
upon the success craze from more
than one angle. Undoubtedly 1t has
made man more mereenary. Probably
1t has caused much of the graft that
stirs the country at present. But also
it has taught men to take better care,
OF themselves, the physical and mem
tai health, and the results Of this viii

but in the generations that are to
come, when the success bee" will buzz
just as nightly il not mightier, and

the supremacy of politics even over

He was dining one evening at his

ravenous appetite. Impressed by such

Faith in God brings an element OF

has been inexpressibly saddened. ED

when people have risen in the scale
OF living. No man lives on a low

Lord Lansdowne has real help

most gifted woman. She Is keen
politician and such an excellent diplo-
matist that Bismarck, the Iron Chan
cellor, once said OF her that she was
too clever for most OF his amhassa-
doris. When Lord Lansdowne was
viceroy Of India Lady LansdCwne
managed to acquire wonderful
knowledge of native life and affairs.
Her information was not merely gain
ed at secondhand. for. disguised as a
native, she used to visit the poorest
quarters Of Calcutta. She often ran
considerable risks, but she has plenty
of courage, and the information she
gained was something valuable. For
instance, she was once able to save an
innocent man from being hanged for
murder. The judge who was trying
the case was dining at the yiceregal
lodge. During the evening Lady Lans-
dowHe took him aside and said: The
man who Is charged with that muir
der Is innocent. If you will send me
detective | will show the house
where the murderer is." Thanks to
Lady Lansdowne, the real culprit was
caught and the innocent man set free;
but she would not reveal how she had
gained her knowledge of the actual
facts OF the case. The incident made
her very popular with the natives cf
Calcutta.

AIcohol More Fatal Than War.

Prof. Charles Richet, the eel
ebrated Psychologist Of Paris
who is an active factor in
the movement for world peace
in recent publication estimated the
number OF men killed In war during
the eleventh century at fourteen mill
ions According to the surgeon gener-
Al, H. Froehlich. OF Leipsic the num-
ber was only seven millions. But still
more terrifying figures are presented
In the number Of victims Of alcohol
given BY DR.. Helenius Of Helsingfors.
In his recent work, die Alkohol-
frage." This scientist. pupil Of the
celebrated statistician of Copenhagen.
Harold Westergaard, estimates the
annual number Of deaths from alco-
holism in England at 10000. in Bel
GUM and Holland at 5000. In Russia
at 100000. in France at 10000, in
Scandinavia and Switzerland at 10000,
In Germany at 10000. a total OF $780,
600 year. That would make. In thir-
" years, 100000, that Is more than
the victims Of war In century ac-
cording to DR.. Froehllch. And these
figures do not include the victims OF
alcoholism in Austria Hungary, in It,
ally, In Spain, in Portugal. in Greece,
in Bulgaria, In Roumania. etc, be-
cause these countries lack either pub.
lie or private statistics on the ques.
tlon. Moreover. Dr. Helenius demon
strates in his work that part Of the
victims of war should properly be
classed as victims Of drink. since the
number OF soldiers dying from cold in
consequence OF alcoholism or from
wounds whose healing Is impeded BY
alcoholism Is very large. Perhaps
some might object that war takes its
vistims in the flower OF their age
while the victims OF alcohol are re-
cruited from those or less productive

generation and decimatlon OF the pop
ulation are the consequences OF alc0-
holism, and that II is due to liquor that
80 many youths land in prisons, mad
houses, aud beggars' asylums. whose
cost falls on society as a whole. II It
be considered that the amount spent
for spiTituous liquors In the greatest
countries surpasses that spent for the
army and navy by more than four
times Gin Germany, for example. in the
years from 1888 to 1900 we're spent
