The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1908-01-01

Pittsburg is sick with la grippe and
the nation is sick of Pittsburg high
society.
The National Purity Conference at
Dattle Creek, which had an immense
attendance, committed itself by resolu-
ton to total prohibition. The Prohibi.
ton party is committed by platform
to the fight against the traffic in
girls. Thus reformers are getting to-
gether for the supreme struggle with
impurity and unrighteouSnesS.
All newspapers which fail TO sup
press prohibition news hereafter will
not only lose our patronage, but also
that of almost every brewery in the
United States So writes the FRED
Miller Brewing Co., to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, which re.
plies: The suggestion is monstrous-
Discussion of great public question
cannot be suppressed
When union meetings are held in
the interest of our work, effort should
be made to unite the largest number
of churches practicable. The German
and Scandinavian churches are some
times overlooked. The union of all
the natural enemies of the saloon is
an encouragement to our friends and
is calculated to strike terror into the
hearts of our foes.
When the political forces of the land
re-align on the saloon issue, the death
of the saloon is near. To force that
is the duty of the Pro-
o10 To OH
it is to vote only for outspoken enc
mics of the saloon and only for can
ddates of political party which
stands openly, always and everywhere
as the foe of the saloon.
Let Christian Democrats not fail to
notice that the call of their CD ma
tional convention appears over the
signature of Tom Taggart, one of the
most notorious dive-keeperS in the
land There was talk of his resign
ing a while ago on account of the
of his name. But the
Democrats who cared were busy with
their prayers and the thing blew over.
If we weren't on the scent for bigger
game we would just like to see Uncle
Joe Cannon get squarely in the run
ming for the presidency. He could
make a fair showing in
the convention but if nominated, which
is not likely his unceasing profanity,
his advocacy of the return of beer
to the army canteen and some other
things that go we'll with these peculi-
arities of the Speaker of the House
would bury him under an avalanche
of Christian indignation. The Speaker
hardly measures up to the moral stand
ards established by President Roose-
welt and Mr.. Bryan.
A Patriot PhalanX subscriber asks
how PrOhibitionists can clay aside all
political differences" according to the
resolution adopted at the recent
Indiana conference of the Prohibition
party, the Anti-Saloon League and the
w. c. T. U. and still support the Pro-
hibitiOn party. The Phalanx replies
in substance that our cause was bene-
fitted by the Conference But that
doesn't answer the question The
fact is that what passes for liberality
is sometimes very narrow and that
which seems severe is sometimes broad
and practical and statesmanlike. Such
we deem the refusal of enemies of the
saloon to give their political support
to any party not openly committed to
the death of the saloon. What they
want is results; and satisfactory and
permanent results have not been Sc
cured by any other method.

sixteen large hospitals. Several times each day the director of the ambulance service Is notified how many empty beds there are at each reception hos pital, thus preventing the complication that frequently arises in this country of dying man being taken to a hos pital only to find that there Is no place for him. They also have test runs In Berlin. At the pleasure of the director any or all the ambulances are called out unexpectedly, their time noted, and their condition inspected. Berlin is the only city where this practice prevails. A well-maintained ambulance service increases the demand for attention from the really needy. Berlin, virtu- ally the same size as Chicago, responds to four times as many calls. St. Louis, half as large. has more calls by several thousands than Chicago, owing to the better service and the familiarity of the citizens with 1t.
 Persons in city streets are thrilled by the changing of the ambulance gong and fascinated when the horses gallop by. A feeling of horror is oftentimcs followed by one of some comfort at tho thought that, in case of accident to himself, one speedily would be taken care of. In majority of instances this feeling of comfort is not Justified. If you don't believe 1t, watch some one try to get an ambulance in a hurry.

Loveliest of Princesses.

Princess Andreas of Greece, daughte, of Prince Louis of Battenberg, and therefore first cousin to the Queen of Spain, Is now hailed as the most beau tiful princess in Europe, says the New York World
 Like all the BattenbergA Prince Louis is an exceptionally handsome man. and also exceptionally capable. He Is an admiral In the British navy.
 Princess Andreas has the advantage of Queen Ena in figure, as she is di- vinely tall and majestically graceful. Queen Enas defect is that her neck is u,duly short, like her mothers. Thh Is a Guelph characteristic-Qussn yic- toria of England had no neck at ali. In colorins both are dazzling blondes, with the purest pink and white com. plexions and violet eyes.

CANDY NOT BAD FOR TEETH.
Doctor Says Evil of Eating Sweets
 Is Much Exaggerated.

Doctor Says Evil of Eating Sweets Is Much Exaggerated.
 In his lecture at the Harvard med. lcal school yesterday, Dr. Charles A Bracket made 1t plain that eating con. fectionery Is not particularly conducive to decay, says the Boston Transcript He said that the evil of candy eating on the teeth Is much exaggerated, reasonable amount of sugar being need ed in the system for the production of heat, especially In cold weather and for hard-working people. He commended the action of Queen Victoria in send ing large quantities of chocolate to her soldiers in remote places, thereby af. fOrding them an element of diet that they needed.
 That the teeth that last the long, est are necessarily harder than those that decay soonest, he said, does not necessarily follow, and the reverse is often true, the real reason for decay of the teeth being acids in the mouth caused by debris of food that may rest there and become fermented by micro organisms that are always in the mouth.
 Acids thus created, he said, disinte- grate lime salts, and they attack and cause the hardest teeth to decay, If they can but find entrance to the body of the tooth, by means of some nat ural Assure In the enamel, which Is often found in teeth of the very best quality. Hence, he argued, the only sure prevention of decay is the most perfect cleanliness of the mouth, par. ticularly at night, when the opportu. nifty for the microbes to carry on their d!slntegrating work Is much longer than between meals fin the daytime.
 Dr. Bracket commended an Idea of Philadelphia dentist who takes a contract to preserve the teeth of his patients charging them nominal sum to keep their teeth clean by means of a monthly securing with pumice. So salutary is that simple treatment in their preservation that he voluntarily engages to repair without extra charge any evidences of decay that appear from time to time during his care of the teeth.

BEHIND IN HUMANE WORK.

Berlin Affords . Fine Model in Up-
 to-Date Ambulance Service.
 Ambulance service in this country is poor, chiefly because the need for 1t does not appeal personally to the aver age citizen, and there Is no general de mand upon officials for It's betterment, says Leslies Weekly. What has been done has been accomplished through the efforts of physicians and humanely inclined persons of wealth and public spirit. A good example to pattern after is that of Berlin. A private or ganization, the Rescue Society, de up largely of surgeons, looks after emergency cases, and does 1t well. It is considered an honor to be a member of the society, and only surgeons who have practiced number of years are eligible. Each member takes his turn riding the ambulance, for which he gets no pay. This does away with the rep rehensible American practice of In. ternes, and others seeking experience, practicing upon street victims.
 The Rescue society has nine emsrg- ency stations, fitted with all the facili- ties of a nre-engine house for getting out quickly. These Rescue society am- balances are co-opcrated with by at least one ambulance from each of the

Perhaps it is a waste of words to moralize over social scandals, but each new domestic upheaval in what is call. cd our best society (meaning our veal thiest) exerts an evil influence so far beyond its source that the i'm pulse to plead for a higher standard of morals among the richest people Is hard to resist. It must be admitted that little good has resulted from the most earnest remonstrance in the past The young lions of society, In many instances, continue to conduct them selves as If they were unconscious of any public duty incumbent upon them as if they were unaware that the posi- tion they hold, by the grace of tile community, carries all influence which, if exerted for evil, menaces the very existence of the social order. Yet this is the plain truth.

The adoption of a letter postage o, cents an ounce between the United States and the United Kingdom Is an interesting experiment that Is likely to have far-reaching results. The agreement, which will go into effect Oct. of this year, follows the reduc- tion by the universal postal union of the international rate of letter postage from cents a half ounce to 5 cents for the first ounce and cents for each additional ounce. It Is case of the restricted union that Is permissible ua- der the articles of the universal union, of which other exampies are furnished In the letter rate between this country and Canada and Cuba. Naturally, if the arrangement proves to be satisfac- ory, 1t should lead to other arrange ments of the same sort between the United States and countries in continental Europe, and 1t Is con- fidently expected that 1t will be satisfactory both here and in the British Isles. One result that Is ID Ntly iolSC ihNANoSC In business correspondence. The difference on the cost of sending out a large number of business circulars will be very large, and the tendency will be to multiply letters rather than to save the cents. It Is fair to assume, in fact, that ultimately the increase will be larger than the percentage indicated by the difference between the new and old rates, for, as the postmaster general says, it has always been found that a reduction of the letter rate resulted finally In increasing the revenue. The change will mean much, also, to immi- grants, as we should realize quickly enough if we were forced to pay cents instead of 2 on domestic letters, and there are great many immigrants from the United Kingdom. During the last three fiscal years the immigrants from England alone exceeded those from Germany each year, and the total for the three years from the United Kingdom was 353,894. These are only the recent arrivals, but there was a very heavy immigration between 1880 and 1890, that from England alone ex- ceeding sO,OOO h two of the years, and there have been additions, sometimes small and sometimes large, every year since What with the new arrivals and the older residents, all the immigrants from the British Islands would make a populous state by themselves.
