TEMPERANCE COLUMN
The Mothers Question.

The poem on this page is pub
lished by the New York Anti-Sa
loon League, with the following
introduction, to which no further
comment need be added:
Five little children, worse thar
fatherless through drink, were a.
bout to lose their mother. 1t was
in home of refinement and com.
fort. The mother was a devoted
and educated Christian lady. The
father was talented lawyer, and,
when sober, kind parent and hus-
band. Drink and the saloon were
his undoing. He was another be-
ing when under their spell. Bro
ken with grief and shame, and re-
alizing the approach of death, the
mother, with no word of reproach
Tor him, but In agony of mind and
body, again and again, with heart
breaking emphasis, repeated the
question, "What will become of
my children ?"
The author of the verses, then
her pastor, after calling and giving
such poor comfort as was possible,
left the house with a new and in
delible sense of the ruthless cru
city of the saloon. Down the
stairs, out on the street, for half a
block away, he could hear her
screaming that question after him

in her dying delirium. The whole
village was aware of the facts, bu,
her husband even then had no diff.
ficulty in securing his drink. Al
her open grave his sickening hrea-
thing was horne on the afflicted
spring breeze to those who stood
near by.

he left town. and the children,
though cared for, were left un-
speakably orphaned. A beautiful
home had been literally wiped out.
The community was robbed of a
popular social center; its business
interests of an able lawyer, and of
generous patronage; it's school and
church life, of membership and
support. The saloon was the chief
criminal. The man fought his APP
petite heroically, but in vain, for
the temptation was never absent.
1t is not to be wondered at that
pastors, with such experiences all
too common, feel compelled to
fight this brutalizing institution;
and in some cases to leave the ac-
tive pastorate and specialize as
leaders of the church and the peo-
pie against it. The fight is pecu-
liarly that of the church. God is
calling her to arms, and she must
hear and heed; for she must an
swer to Him, to the home, and to
civilization for the challenge of
that dying mothers appeal.

The vast range of opportunities

gested in the fact that the Manu-.

three months of the year ID, 153
construction items dealing with
industrial enterprises of many
kinds. with steam and electric rail-

including road work, court houses,
Federal and State buildings; mu-

ETC.; mineral development and
divers building operations. The
steady progress of such undertak-
ings is indicated in the advance in
the number of items from 1880 in
January to 4O87 in February, and
to 5l36 in March. The variety and
extent of the news published re-

wide reading which the Manufac
turers' Record has in foreign lands
These statistics do not imply
that each of the ID, 1853 items pub.
lished deals with an entirely new
enterprise or the enlargement Of
existing operations. For, in many
cases, there have been several men,
tions, however, setting forth addi-
tional facts in regard to it. The
grand total, though, throws strong
light upon the vast development
and construction work in the the
South, which is covered day by
day in our Daily Bulletin and week
by week in the Manufacturers
Record.
The mere skeleton of the facts
appeals strongly to men who sell
machinery, build bridges. viaducts
and highways, open coal, iron ore
and other mineral resources, build
clay-working plants, textile mills,
fertilizer factories, iron and steel
plants, lumber mills and wood
working plants Of all kinds, re-
claim waste lands through irrlga-
ton or drainage, build and equip
railways and participate in mu-
nicipal and State permanent i'm
provements. The IL, 153 items ap-
peal strongly, too, to men who un-
derstand that every new enterprise
means more employment for a
greater number of producers of all
kinds and greater activity for the
workers of the country, whether in
factory, in Office. in foundry, in
machine shop, in mill, in the for
est, in the field and IN the mine.

Danger In overstraining.

The chief dangers arising from car
rying athletics to extremes are: First,
uneven development of limbs and
organs, due to special extravagant de-
votion to one form of exercise. This
is especially dangerous in immature
bodies. Second, overstrain on the
nerves and rapid waste of tissue.
Third, and perhaps most serious Of
all, general poisoning by the accumu-
lation of waste products in the body
far more rapidly than they can be
eliminated by natural means.
Lastly, overphysical culture has a
very bad mental effect, for the more
perfectly trained a man is in the phys
ical sense the nearer he approaches to
the level % an automaton-a splendid
ly balanced and regulated machine,
but weakened in the higher mental
qualities. Vital force cannot be in
creased in this way; it can only be
specialized, and what is gained in one
direction has to be lost in another
