can be made to understand and ap-
ply remedies for the cure and preven-
tion of inebriates, except from most
elaborate scientific research.
He would have every inebriate
studied as a sick man. All the facts
of his ancestors, his training, nutri-
tion, surroundings, growth and di-
seases tabulated and grouped. Then
the facts of his use of spirits and the
causes and conditions which lead an
to it, and the peculiar effects of
spirits on his organism
This, with his present condition,
would furnish data from which to de-
termine the best methods of cure and
prevention. No other way would be
more exact and practical. Then hos
pitals, colonies, medicinal means of
every kind could be used with GER
tainty that will overcome the enor-
nous losses entailed on the commun-
ity by the present laundering efforts.
Inebriety must be studied by
scientific means and measures before
we can apply remedies of any value.
That it is curable and preventable are
facts beyond question. The remedies
and means of prevention must not be
theories or sentiments.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Ace.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the charge
in health that Postum can bring. they
are glad to lend their testimony for the
benefit of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
in one OF the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago I was making an
official visit to a distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants OF the place noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning it. lie
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with Il. that after
the meal was over. / bought a package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased with
II, that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi-
tion, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest OF US.
Il know Postum has benefited myself
and the other members Of the family
| but not in so marked a degree as in
the case OF my mother. as she was a

immigration Not to Blame.
Almost invariably when Il is shown
that a city has less credltable
standing in any respect than has been
commonly thought, the immediate re-
sponse is that no surprise should be
felt in view OF the number Of foreign
ers reaching our shores each year.
This claim is not substituted bv
conditions disclosed in the Russell
Sage Inquiry. Careful study has fall
ed to demonstrate that cities having
large foreign populations have less ef-
ficient school systems than most cities.
Among the large cities studied the
contrary is rather the case. This is
shown by reference to the following
table which shows for each OF eleven
cities the index Of school efficiency and
the percent of persons OF foreign pa--
entage in the population:

a remarkable spirit Of liberality to-
ward It's policy holders Is again the
striking feature Of the periodical state
.ment or report OF the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, a summary Of
which is published to-day.
The attitude Of this great financial
organization toward the millions Of m
dividuals who have relations with II in
vites comment. and affords some
grounds for interesting comparisons.
Broadly speaking. the Inducements
offered by responsible life insurance
companies TO lnsurable persons are OF
two kinds. One consists in propo-
sition to carry a definite amount Of
straight" Insurance az low cost; the
other offers innumerable plans By
which in return for excessive premium
payments the person insured Is 10 par
ticipate" in the earnings OF the COM
pany. receiving benefits that are not
definitely stated in the policy itself.
The first plan appeals to the man Of
judgment as a clear-cut business con-
tract under which all obligations are
mutually understood. The other ap-
peals TO the speculative instinct and
demands a higher degree Of confidence
In the insuring company, which care
fully avoids an absolute guarantee Of
benefits proportioned 10 the high rates
demanded.
The Metropolitan Life sells straight"
insurance only; that is IL promises to
pay at death. or at the expiration Of
your policy. a fixed sum plainly writ
ten in the contract. As a matter Of
course II must sell this insurance at a
cost low enough TO secure business in
competition With all the big insurance
companies. Having issued such pol
Icy. the company has no further obli-
cations under it's terms until the speei-
fed Dement'S are due and payable. The
person insured IA satisfied with his con-
tract and expects only that IL will be
exactly carried out
The report just issued makes re-
markable showing.
The Company in ten years has re-
duced the ratio of expense to prem
ium income on its business In all de-
partments 10 per cent In the Indus
trial Department alone the reduction
accomplished in the past five years
amounts to per cent.-this last item
