DISMISSAL OF THREE CADETS
Official Action of Naval Academy
Officers Will Meet With Gen.
eral Approval.

The dismissal of three cadets from
the United States Naval Academy in
their graduating year because of
drunkenness, will meet with general
approval everywhere, says the ST.
Louis Star. If there is a single place
in the public service where total alb
s~tinence from liquor ought to be
made compulsory it is in the naval
service, where officers have RESPONSE
bility for the lives of thousands of
men and safety of ships whose value
is not reckoned by the cost of their
construction, but by the possible CON
sequences of not having them in time
of war. 1t is difficult to prevent drink
ing by enlisted men of either the army
or navy, and not of SO much i'm
p%ortance, but it can be prevented in
the case of officers, on pain of dis
missal, and few officers would prefer
liquor to their commissions. The
navy has lost much in life and ships
through drink, and in efficiency. and
the army has lost in efficiency, and is
still losing, through the same cause.
Some day it might be of tremendous
importance. Annapolis and West
Point are good places to start the Off
GERS on the total abstinence road as
well as to impress them with the
truth that regulations are made to be
obeyed, and that an officer who can
not himself obey is not fit to command
others who must do so.

Glasgow a Soberer CITY.

The Glasgow chief constable in a
report issued recently comments upon
the remarkable increase of sobriety
in the city. Approximations for drunk
mes totalled 14,167, a decrease of
considerably over 1000. While lack
of money has no doubt contributed to
increased sobriety, the chief constable
states that the growth of temperance
has been a great factor. A great deal
of money has been spent on muse
ments, which was Just as available for
spending in drink. Compared with
two years ago the apprehensions for
drunkenness showed a decrease of
nearly 1000.

TENDENCY TO LIQUOR HABIT
Efforts at Promoting Temperance Nee.
essarIly Slow Owing TO Gus
toms Of Ancestors.

We must not be surprised at the
great difficulty in promoting temper
ance, not to speak Of total abstinence,
when w recall what a strong hold the
habit of using intoxicants had upon
our English and American ancestors.
1t has not been very long ago since
liquors were kept IN the %sideboard in
almost every home where the family
could afford 1t, and were freely offer
ed to every guest az part of the hos
pitality of the day. says Temperance.
It wasnot good form" to refuse what
was offered. and SO the caller at sew
eral homes In the curse Of an even
ing was apt to find his head Keeling
and his feet unsteady as he left his
hospitable friends and made his way
to his own dwelling.
Not many considered 1t a very great
disgrace to be under the influence of
liquor, although hard drinkers we're
apt to speak with contempt of those
who had a limited capacity and were
speedily overcome.
Far back beyond those early days,
In the old country our ancestors made
free use of beer and spirits. These
beverages were taken as matters of
course.
The consumption of beer in an ordi-
nary home vas enormous. Besant in
his London" tells of a family where
p quarts were taken daily, nearly 3
nIInvfr For Anah tNnIcna 2Afa raR1Ef
remember that there was no tea, that
people would not drink water if they
could get anything else, and that small
beer was the national beverage, taken
with every meal and between meals,
and that the allowance was at each
ones own discretion" AS late as
1770 the men in a London printing Of
flee took a pint of beer before break
fast, a pint with breakfast, a pint be-
tween breakfast and dinner, a pint at
dinner, another at 6, and a sixth pint
when they stopped work. The pota-
tions were sometimes continued du-
ring the evening. Ale was also used
in large quantities. Wine was used,
but not so freely because of its great
er cost.
Drinking in England in the 18th
century was a general habit among all
classes. The clergy, merchants, law
yers, judges, tradesmen and working
men all drank. In 1886 there we're
7.044 gin-shops in London and over
5000 other places where gin was sold,
so that one house in every five was
a resort Sor drinkers, to say nothing
of the vast quantities of beer, gin,
wine and other intoxicants consumed
at home.
Gin had grown to be the favorite
tipple. especially with the work peo-
pie, some of whom spent much of their
wages in the fiery stuff that brought
speedy i~ntoXication.
When we think how extensively in
toxicants were employed and how the
old-time usages of the mother coun-
try were transferred to this land. and
how general during the colonial pc
Rod and for many years later here
was the free use of liquors, we must
not be discouraged at the slow prog
ress of efforts at securing sobriety.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

Dir. Jacques Bertillon, the chief OF
the finger-print department of the
French police, has published an ar
ticle on the connection between al
eohol and tuberculosis. DIR. Bertillon
says that of the causes which in
France favor the development of
tuberculosis the most important is the
alcohol in beer and spirits. He de-
clares, however, that the best enemy
of tuberculosis is wine.
In the 2S departments which form
the northern parts of France. where
cider, beer, spirits-especially brandy
are much drunk, the deaths caused
by consumption We're 230 per 100, 600
inhabitants in 1906. while the proper
ton was 40 in the other departments
of France, where wine is the ~favorits

myself how little disadvantage sex is
to a woman who wishes to play a dis
