Drink and Health.

Fifty years ago the opinion was FIRM
~ established that alcohol not only
made glad the heart Of man" but was
essential to the health of his body.
The President Of the British Medical
Association, speaking at q meeting,
mentioned that he had been brought
up in the school Of DR.. Todd, who pre-
scribed alcohol s freely that the stu
dents christened him whisky toddy."
Sir Thomas Barlow recalled the days
when life insurance Offices refused
any man who was a total abstainer.
Liebig, the great chemist, said that
wine was medicine for the sick and
milk for the aged" How completely
we have changed all this is shown by
the meeting at which Sir William
Broadbent presided. Its object was to
promote the teachings of hygiene and
temperance in elementary schools.
= On the general question Of alcohol
as food or poison-the average atti-
tude Of the medical profession, said
Sir Thomas Barlow. was that Of the
''open mind" But on II point the
doctors representa- at the meeting
have made up their minds. 1t is essen
tial, they say, to teach the people
that alcohol is q luxury rather than q
necessity, and that in the general hos
pitfalls it should be prescribed as little
as possiDle.-London Chronicle

Attempt Great Things.

It is true, and it is q great comfort
that it is true, that the giving OF a
glass of water can please God, and the
sweeping Of a room can glorify Him.
But woe to US if we are content with
small services. Too much thought Of
little things belittles. We should "at-
tempt great things for God"
Caleb said, "Give me this mountain;"
Mary broke the alabaster boz that was
exceedingly precious; the disciples left
all to follow Jesus, and counted it JOY
to suffer for His sake. Let US not be
easily content. The note Of heroism
should be in our battles with sin, in
our speaking, in our giving, in our
serving. Our King deserves and e1-
poets kingliness.-Dr. Babcock.

The Big Brother.

Through a vista Of years I see the
best big brother I ever knew, writes
Margaret E. Sangster. He had on q
uniform, for he was a young soldier
fighting for his country in time Of war.
And his little brother was a sturdy
chap Of seven, who looked at Martin
with the deepest admiration. What.
ever Martin did was grand and fine in
the eyes of Ted, and whatever Martin
did not do, was a thing to avoid.
Do big brothers realize that one rea-
son among many why they should be
gentle-mannered and obliging, why they
should wait on mothers and sisters and
be respectful and considerable where
their fathers are concerned, is that
they are copied by the younger ones,
in q careful imitation, that Is very fat
tering, but also that entails q great
responsibility.
The youth, almost a man in size and
strength and years, should bear him.
self with dignity and courtesy every.
where because it is duty. His family.
the church, the Sunday-gchool and So
ciety expect this of him. But his ador.
Ing juniors do more than expect. They
copy. If the big brother is bold and
brave, they overcome their fears. If
he tells the truth at any cost, they are
truthful. If he avoids profane words
and shows that lie has the will to owe
come temptation, he strengthens by the
power Of example, all the younger boys
who know him.
Martin, my soldier boy, was n Of
those dear fellows who have time to
listen to the trials of others, time to
help q younger sister or brother with
hard home work, sums, maps, memory
tests or the like, and time to tell stories
in the freight. When he came home
on furlough, he gave q good share of
time to Ted and Teddy's friends, and
when the war was over and he went
into business life, he was still willing
in the evenings to spend an hour with
Teddy.
We always dwell upon the great com.
fort q girl can be in her home. From
the daughter we anticipate all sorts of
little devices that bring Joy, pleasant
attentions to her elders, and numerous
thoughtful acts that make the house
hold O place Of delight. But I some.
times tnlnk mat the DrOtneE HAS dS
much as the sister to do with the deep
tranquil peace and content Of the fam
lily. If he puts his strong shoulder un-
der the daily burdens, the mothers
load will seem less. If he does not fuss
about %trifes, the friction Of the home
will be diminished. If he may be relied
upon to fulfill q promise, now and then
deny himself, and altogether If he be-
have as q big brother should, his home
will be q place Of sunshine.
The Lord has deigned to be our elder
Brother. Is there not in this O sugges.
ton for each Of the boys, who are
growing up; what better thing can they
do than try to initiate Him who
pleased not Himself ?'-Christian In

Neutrality Is Impossible

DOGS AS DRAFT ANIMALS.
Traveller Charges Hollanders With
Unkindness to the Animals.

A traveller who has cycled hundreds
OF miles in Holland has good word
for everything Dutch except the use
OF dogs in carts. He quotes some
rather affecting instances OF very old
or sick dogs used in a certain district
and concludes that the employment
of dogs as draft animals is a survival
of barbarism. The cart" dog Is a
high-spirited, eager creature. which. as
rule. takes great deal of interest
in its work, and needs neither beating
nor scolding. At The Hague. the dogs
which bring the vegetables into mar
ket lie under their carts while the
cargo is being sold. In the afternoon
when the time for going home APP
proaches, they bark excitedly, and,
with their owners sitting in the carts,
often race other dogs home. The carts
are frequently very smart and so is
the harness. Nearly all the milk and
similar commodities in Liege are dis
tributed silently, quickly and early in
the morning by dog carts.
