Streets and Dairy

I am, wondering IL YOU will send me
your ordinances with regard to these
matters. and also whether il will be
possible to secure photos of your
street cleaners at work. OF your best
slaughter houses. (Mrs. Crane says
there are no really bad ones) and OF
your best dairies. The article Is to
be called "How the Municipality Can
Help the Housewife" and the idea
is to show how cities of moderate
size are making progress in santa

given credit for the photos which can
be returned II desired The article

COL. LOCKE ON TEMPERANCE
Regards Restrictive Laws as Only In
tended for Temporary Check
Sums Up Situation.

Illustrative of the thought which in
dividual citizens are giving to the
temperance movement is the following
expression of opinion from Col. Frank
l.. Lock, president of the Boston
Young Mems Christian union. When
asked to sum up the causes of the
present day situation. Mr.. Locke said:
The recent very noticeable interest
in the effort for temperance legisla-
tion indicates, l think, that people are
beginning to realize the extent to
which intemperance reaches into and
affects the everyday life of the com
munity.
ITO those having at heart the inter
est of the city, the state and the ma
ton this awakening to the evil of the
situation and the interest manifested
even by those who are not total alb
s~tainers must be gratifying. While the
present prohibitory legislation may
not offer a final solution of the prob
lem, 1t clearly indicates that the peo-
pie are generally aroused as to the
seriousness of the situation and are
led to take any action which will tend
to improve conditions, even if it be
only to temporarily check the evil
until further investigation and the APP
plication of modern scientific methods
of study any analysis may offer a
more satisfactory solution.
The increased adoption of laws
prohibiting the sale of liquor does
not, | think, signify a growing convic-
ton that such is the only wise or
proper solution of the liquor problem,
but that it is a temporary check, and
helpful, until a better means is at
hand. The study of modern condi-
lions in our penal institutions and of
the general social condition, leads
more and more to a realization that
the remedy for these public ills lies
not In attempting to administer pun
ishment, or to make cures for the
damage which has been done, but
rather in adopting measures that Will
prevent the occurrence of the diff
%culties. More and more 1t Is coming
to be felt that inebriety as well as, In
deed, most of the criminal offences.
are due to some defective mental con-
dition rather than to deliberate dispo-
sition to be bad or mean.
THE treatment of the drunkard, as
we'll as the criminal generally, Is be-
coming more and more to be looked
upon as necessarily more of a hos
pital treatment. The which
has tended the work at the State hos
pital at Foxboro along this line Is In
teresting.
I'm connection with the forward
movement for temperance, wish that
more effort might be made to provide,
amid proper surroundings, the socia-
bility and good-fellowship which Is
found in the saloon. This sociability
and good-fellowship are, to my mind
quite as much the attraction to the sa'
loon as the liquor"

ALCOHOL AID TO PNEUMONIA
Well Known Clinical Fact That Users
of Liquor Fare Badly When At
tackled by Disease.

II Is a well-known clinical fact that
those addicted to the use OF alcohol
fare very badly when attacked by
pneumonia. Indeed, the mortality
among drinkers Is very high In every
disease; but Is especially marked in
pneumonia. DIR. Julius Pohlman was
struck by this fact, and In order to
test 1t performed a number OF expert
ments he has recorded In the Medical
News.
Pneumonia Is considered by the best
authorities as an infectious disease,
and, from its organisms, there is sup
posed to spread through the system a
toxine, called pneumo-toxine. against
which weak bodies struggle with great
difficulty, or in vain, says Health. The
disease is more than a mere conges-
ton of the lungs. DIR. Pohlman, In his
experiments. took some strong and
lusty dogs, and injected into the
trachea, just below the larynx of each
one. some pure alcohol, and noted
the effect.
His work seems to have been done
rather mechanically, but his conclu-
sions agree with clinical experience,
although of much less value. How
ever, his work will give the anti-vivt-
se~ctionists something to talk about.
His theory Is that. II to a congestion
Of the lungs brought on by alcohol a
pneumonia be added, the individual
stands little chance of recovering.
While the study of the blood serum
in pneumonia has not advanced quite
as far and to such practical results as
in diphtheria, still 1t is pretty we'll
agreed that during an attack Of acute
lobar pneumonia there Is in circula-
which may be called pneumo-toxine.
which In fatal cases causes death, be-
ing disseminated all through the body
with the blood, while the organisms,
as a rule. in simple cases, stay In the
lungs. In cases hat recover from
pneumonia there is noticed at the time
of the crisis and after that there Is q
disappearance of pneumo-toxine from
the blood, and there Is found an anti
dote to 1t, which has been called anti
pneumo-toxine, and experiments with
this anti-pneumo-toxine, from a con
valescent patient injected subcutane-
ously into one very i'll with pneu-
monia, have shown that the serum in
this stage has some curative proper
ties.

CRIME AND DRINK IN CANADA
Statistics Show That Convictions Due
to Liquor Has Increased
Considerably.

Criminal statistics for the year end
ed September, 1906. have just been
issued by the census bureau at Otta-
wa They look somewhat %antiquated
now, but as they are the latest avail
able. some of the facts given are still
of interest. The figures deal sep
arably with indictable offences and
summary convictions, the latter refer
ring to cases disposed of by justices
of the peace. British Columbia, Mani
toba and Ontario show a crime record
remarkable figures relate to the mari
time provinces. where the Scott act is
in force in most counties, but especi-
ally Prince Edward island, the only
province in the dominion with pro
vincial prohibition. Ontario's crime
ratio for 10000 of the population
shows a gradual increase: 1S97-1900,
1894 1900-1905. 1898: 1906. 1889.
OF the total number of persons con
vieted during the five-year period end
ing with 1905 there was an average Of
Sc per cent. who used liquor moder-
ately and 33 per cent. who were i'm
moderate drinkers. For the second
period ending with 1905 there was an
average of so per cent. moderate and
20 immoderate drinkers, as compared
with 81 per cent. moderate and % per
cent. moderate drinkers for 1906. The
balance of the 100 in each period were
either nondrinkers or not given.
Dealing with summary convictions,
which are for offences such as as
saults, breaches of the peace, infrac-
tons of various laws, such as liquor
license act, etc, and such other Of
fences as vagrancy, drunkenness, n
d%isorderly conduct, the report states
that the number of summary convic-
lions has increased considerably
throughout the several provinces dur
ing the last five years.
During the years ending with 1905,
drunkenness represented about 35 per
cent. of the total summary convictions,
as compared with 40 per cent. for the
year 1906. Out of the total number OF
persons convicted for drunkenness,
female offenders represented 8.87 per
cent. for the ten years ending with
1905, as against $40 per cent. for the
year 1906.
Taking the year 1906, the following
table shows the percentage OF convic-
tions for drunkenness of each prov
ince, with the percentage of popula-
ton of the provinces:

LESS LIQUOR IN SCOTLAND
Citizens of Edinburgh Congratulate
Themselves on Satisfactory Re-
port of Chief Constable.

Edinburgh people are congratula-
ting themselves on the satisfactory
nature of the report just issued by
the chief constable for the city for
the year 1909. 1t shows that during
that year arrests for drunkenness,
crime and disorders of all kinds were
fewer than they have been since re-
liable statistics of this kind have
been kept by the authorities.
The total number of persons ar
rested for all kinds of offenses, drunk
enness included, was 13.411 In 1909,
as compared with 1929 in 1908, a de-
crease OF 1868. That the poorer
people In Edinburgh seem to be get

fact that whereas In 1908 the mum

THE QUIET HOUR

can, with a little thought, be made
out a reasonable schedule Of work
and study and play for the growing
boy of any ordinary age and condition
a provision which viii tend all along
to fit him for his permanent life work
But mere training after a plan is not
sufficient. The youth must be talked
to about the matter OF a life work
not urged or required to choose
early, perhaps not till after full
physical and mental maturity, but
talked to with a thought of inducing
him with the necessity OF gradually
finding and working out Tor himself
a plan for his mature life.
The ability of the individual to per
form some kind of work %ereditably or
to manage some one of the impor-
tant affairs of life successfully lies at
the foundation of all that is best and
most stable III our modern society.
PROFESSIONALLY every normal boy and
girl is very we'll fitted by nature and
can be still better fitted by training
to perform worthily some kind of
work. Then, let parents and teachers
begin early to make a careful study
of the boys and girls under their
charge with a view to training them
in habits of industry, and finally with
a view to guiding them successfully
into the vocation for which they are
best adapted by nature. Public edu-
cation of the nature just named will
in time lead to the practice of re.
curing candidates for marriage to
pass a test in respect to their ability
to work and to undertake the man.
agement of some sort of business af-
fairs.
Let all persons concerned about
the foregoing matters make eason
able effort to inculcate a proper res
pect for the sanctity of the body of
women By virtue of the strength
and purity and perfection of this
finest specimen of Gods handiwork
shall the race be redeemed. There
is much confusion and perplexity in
the minds of the public today as to
what places in the world shall be
thrown open to woman. She has
proved herself willing and apt and
an efficient worker in practically ey-
cry walk of life, and yet, notwith-
standing her attainment of ever the
these important matters, there is
only n way under heaven whereby
her name may be eternally glorified,
viz, through her preparation for be-
coming the mother of a new race of
worthy sons and daughters.
Finally, it seemsto me that we must
come around to the thesis that the
real wealth of any nation or of any
people consists not in the moneys or
the material goods accumulated SO
much as in the character of the boys
and girls and the young men and
young women who are growing up
and soon to assume control of all
the serious affairs of life. We must
erect a new standard of worth, and
this new measure of value must be
men and women-strong, courageous,
c~lear-sighted, noble-hearted men; and
pure, matronly, sympathetic, spiritual
minded women. Let us promote the
foregoing high standard of excel
lence through definitely planned pop
ular education, seeking first to de-
velop in the young the splendid, God
given aptitudes latent within them
and as yet ~unreached by our sys-
tenn of training; and, second, to give
the fit an advantage over the unfit
as factors in the continuation of the
race.
