port Of the commissioner OF internal
revenue. The production of cigars,
chewing and smoking tobacco, ciga-
rettes-and snuff in the United States
last year was valued at $3.50, 100000, or
a little more than $1.000.00O day for
each working day of the year. OF this
amount goods valued at about $10O,000,-
900 were exported, leaving the domestic
consumption about $3.50 per capita, or
a decrease of 80 per cent in the last
decade, -
The only reasonable explanation we
may find for this decrease in the use
of tobacco lies in the probability that
It's Injurious effects upon mankind are

While it is doubtless true that the use
of tobacco does not materially injure

LESS TOBACCO USED

A STATEMENTS made by an Of
N fetal of the tobacco trust, in the
IA course Of recent investigation
of that monopoly conducted by spe-
cial United States commissioner in
New York, doubtless will occasion
some surprise. According to his testi-
mony, which was supported by statis-
tics CLEANED from the company's books,
the use of the weed in America is rap
idly decreasing. The company's
records show that domestic consump-
tion of this product is becoming more
marked every year, though the busi-
ness of tobacco-raising has steadily
increased and more money is being
employed every year in the manufac-
ture of tobacco in various forms The
profits in the business now come more
largely from the export trade than ever
before.
It would be asking a good deal Of the
man Of but average credulity to be-
lieve THIS statement. even with the
trusts looks back of it, If It vera not

SOLDIERS FOOD

N OMPLAINT has been made by
citizen members Of the medical
~ profession that our army medical
service is far Inferior to that of Japan.
This fact is attributed in part by some
to our insufficient control of~army hos
pitals by the surgeons. One cause of
complaint is the authority of line Of
ficers over the hospitals. Another is
the lack of authority of both medical
and line officers over the enlisted men.
In defiance of explicit orders American
soldiers usually eat what they want, IL
they can get it. regardless of whether
it is wholesome or not. Japanese SOL
diers eat what they are commas. ;!ea
to, and nothing else. In all probability
there would be little complaint of tho
army medical service if better dis
cipline touching the care of the stom-
aeh were to be secured.

What Christmas Should
Mean TO All the World
by G. b. ANDERSON

war and the sword of business and in
complete goodfellowship cooperate. one
with another to make the world home
of delight for the teeming millions.
In the old days Christmas was not
day but a season in which all the cares
of life were put aside and men aban-
(oned themselves to unrestrained NOR
ri, .ent. Even the slaves enjoyed tenn
porary freedom, that no gloom might
arise to sadden the season through the
appearance OF an unhappy countenance.
If we could go back to the old Pagan
festival we should find the same spirit
characterizing lie season IS now char
acterizes our one day.
Christmas is prophecy-how could
1t be otherwise? When smile lights
up a human face has not something
been gained? A man may frown on
every other day of the year; but If on
this day his face wears smile 1t is
sign that smiling countenance is ma
tive to hint is harbinger of the
time when all humanity will smile and
be happy. If a man displays spirit
of benevoIence on Christmas one may
anticipate the period when he possibly
will be benevolent every day. If any
of us are induced by the Christmas
touch to believe for one little day in
the possibility of right living, is 1t not
possible that some of us may resolve
TO make every SuCCttulilS udy VI ONi
lives equal to Christmas as day Oh
good cheer?
Why should we agree with ourselves
to be good one day of the week, or
perhaps but one day of the year? Is
our goodness on that one day sufficient
to atone for the misdoings of all the
other days of the week or of the year?
II man can be good neighbor and a
good citizen on one day of the week is
fho+ bo IA auTallV
good during the remaining six days OF
throughout the whole year?
The great lesson of Christmas is. that
the spirit of cheer and peace that pre-
walls among us all, when we stop to
think of the angels song and of the
Hero born, according to the old story, is
spirit that will give us no peace of
mind until we have given it lasting
resting place in our hearts. That spirit
is a rebuke to the perennial hardness
Of our nature. 1t shows us that the
higher light that has dawned upon the
earth is yet foreign to our nature. 1t
assures us that our ideals have not yet
become realized 1t whispers to us that
until we rid ourselves of our meanness
and earnestly strive to atone for the
smallress of the past we cannot hope
to attain idealism,
The time will come when the Christ
mas carols sung 1900 years ago will
become the music of the earth; when
the Hero who the old story tells US
was born then will become the real
ized ideal of mankind; when peace and
good will will be something more than
mere words-a motto suitable for one
day in the year; when the spirit of this
great holiday of all holidays shall have
become incarnated. The text of Christ
mas should be the text for our daily
guidance.

ANENT RESUMPTION

~ ONDITIONS in financial circles of
Los Angeles were never more en-
- couraging than at this time. There
should be no wavering from the posi-
tion taken by the clearing house re-
garding the resumption of payment in
specie and currency. This payment
will be resumed as soon as similar ac-
ton is taken by banks in eastern cities
and in San Francisco. Los Angeles
was the last large city to adopt the
usage Of clearing house certificates
for the transaction of public business.
There has been little complaint about
the general use of the scrip and busi-
ness men are going about their affairs
with full confidence as to the future.
When there is general resumption
the banks of this city will be among
the leaders.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-22

N CERTAINLY there has never been
told a MORE beautiful story than
~ that which has come down to us
from a day over 1900 years ago. when
one evening the heavens broke open
and angels came down singing their
carols of peace on earth and good Will
toward all men. On this night
World-Hero was born, Man Savior,
and in the old, old story the choir celes-
tial and invisible was supposed TO pc
caroling in celebration of the porten-
tous event.
There are many who claim not to
believe this story; there are others
who, while accepting part of IT, claim
not to believe 1t so implicitly as did our
forefathers. We have become skepti-
cal about ancient legends. Modern
scholarship has taught us, too, that
what we call Christmas is a very old
institution, extending through century
after century into Pagan lands, ante
dating the birth of the child of Beth
lehem
But why should we care when or how
this festival originated? What differ
ence does 1t make to us whether 1t was
old when Christ was born; whether
Christmas, as we understand the mean
ing of the holiday is simply an adapta-
tion of prehistoric institution or Sig
nificant solely of the birth of the
founder of the Christian religion? 1t
should matter nothing. 1t should make
no difference 80 far as the Christmas
spirit within us is concerned whether
we accept the legend, the tradition, the
history or whatever we may call 1t.
figuratively or literally So long as
we know that the day is an ancient
one, that it either idealizes the blos-
soming of the human race in prehis-
sooTf.e times MARKS an enoch in Spirit
ual development, that no matter when
or whence the day sprang, hereafter 1t
will forever signify the spirit of good
cheer, of peace, of good will, of good
fellowship-which, after all, is tae
cornerstone of all religion-so long as
we know these things 1t makes no diff
ference whether Christmas dates from
the first or the seventeenth century, or
from centuries so old that they are lost
except to the dimmest tradition.
How many of us have ever sat down
alone and pondered over what Christ
mas should mean to us? How many of
us have thought, on that day, of any
thing more serious than the pleasure OF
giving and of receiving, the festivities
at home or at club, the sermon and the
music, If we make 1t practice to at
tend church? How many of us. have
attempted self-analysis on that day,
endeavcring to satisfy ourselves ex-
actly what the proper spirit of the oc-
casion should be?
This old world of ours is full of beau
tif, myths which are more real than
reality. They are the prophecies of q
good time that is coming, when human
ity shall abandon barbarism, substitute
ing therefor the benediction of the
ideal. Christmas is such a prophecy.
It assures us that the day is coming
when we shall put away the sword OF
