Scientific Temperance ln-

 For centuries human beings have believed that alcohol lS a safe beverage if moderately used, ignorant of the fact that II Is na- ture of this substance If moder- ately used to lead to its immod- crate use and to consequent de- struction. If we are gaining III correcting this fatal popular mis- apprehension we are moving up ward. For the last twenty-five years science has been pouring III her testimony against alcohol, and never more clearly than dur ing the past year. The gist ot this testimony is we'll told in the following sentence i'll an article by Sir Frederick Treves. NJ. D., of England. Surgeon to the King:
 "A1cohol IS an insidlous poison with only one antidote, alcohol again. Another authority comes to the equally terse conclu- sion that We must eXterfninate alcohol as beverage or 1t will tXtermindte us.

 THE MACHINERY FOR SPREADING
 THE TRUTH READY.
 The testimonies of science as to the character and effects of alco- hol as they have accumulated during the past twenty-five years have been, as you know collected in this country and are on file for ready use in our Bureau of Scientific Temperance 1nvestiga- tion and are, and have been of invaluable service both in ad- vancing and defending the truth that is the fundamental weapon in this warfare.
 This nation of so, 100000 peo- ole legally requires that these truths in connection with other laws of health shall be taught their 2,000, 900 children. Care- less teachers who neglect this dc not realize that they are law breakers.
 The action of the British med ical profession, 15,000 strong. who, profoundly moved by the greater sobrlety and consequent greater producing ability of the American workmen, have petiti- oned for such public school study of hygiene and temperance as we have in America, and, acting through a committee of distin- guished scientists, have recom- inended the course prepared by this department to every school board i'll England, Scotland, Ire land, and Wales.
