An Explorers View Of Alcohol.

Sven Hedin, the Central Asia ex-
plorer, says in his last book:
I'm a caravan a drop of wine or
brandy should not be found. To
be dependent on these things is
curse and especially Objectionable on
a journey which demands great ex-
ertion. The people, whether inside
or outside the borders of civiliza-
ton, who abstain from alcohol are
the most competent and effective
workers.

The Growth Of Temperance.

There never was the slightest
ground for the assumption that, be-
cause the political Prohibition move
ment failed in the most populous
part of the country, the Temperance
sentiment of the people was In a
period of decline. Attention Is being
constantly called to the signs of a
strengthening feeling for Temper
ance, especially in the South, where
so many State Prohibitory laws have
been enacted.

CUMBERLAND SUED FOR MILLION
Violations of State Antitrust Laws
Are CHARGED.

Hon. w. p. Shinault of Oxford, spe-
cial counsel for the state of Missis-
sippi, fled a bill in the chancery court
of Prentiss county, on behalf OF the
state of Mississippi on relation or the
attorney general against the Cumber-
land Telegraph &, Telephone Company,
charging violations by the Cumberland
Company of the antitrust laws OF the
state by discrimination in prices be-
tween different localities and persons
in this: that the Cumberland Company
charges the people Of Bonneville the
sums of 81 and $3.50 per month for
residence and business service in
Bonneville, while for the same service
it charges the people of Tupelo, Holly
Springs and sixty-six other towns in
the state the sums of Sligo for resi-
dence service and $275 for business
service per month; and, further, that
it discriminates in charges between its
subscribers in Bonneville, In that ii
charges some OF them 81 per month
for telephones in business houses and
charges others only $3.50 per month
for same class Of service.
The bill says that the Cumberland
Company, with an army of shrewd
operators and a corps of officers
skilled in the business, and with its
great wealth at is command, has
brought every energy to destroy con-
petition that might stand in its way.
The bill states that the state of Missis-
sippi desires to arrest the further yio-
lation of the law and to have in
force the penalties prescribed by law.
The bill further states that the Cum
berla1d Company was warned ard
three times sued for it's violation of
the antitrust law more than two years
before the fling of the suit. The state
of Mississippi prays that the Cumber-
land Company be decreed to pay it as
sta tutOry penalty the sum of 81 ,500,-

Their ,iolatiOns of this law, and that it

Great Britain in Line.

A deputation from the laymen's
missionary movement has just re-
turned from the other side of the wa
project to the laity of the British
churches. The report brought back
is remarkable. The deputation was
welcomed and feted everywhere by
archbishops, church leaders and bust
ness men. They ate enough compli
mentary dinners to give them all
dyspepsia. The serious outcome of
their labors was the definite organi
cation, with unexpected enthusiasm,
of the laymen's missionary movement
in England and Scotland.
The most striking feature of Great
Britain's acceptance of the project is
the fact that the high church party
Of the Church of England has en-
tered into alliance with other re-
ligious bodies in this undertaking.
This is unprecedented. The Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel, the
famous High Church Missionary or
ganization, has Endorsed the new
movement, and it's representatives are
working side by side with men from
the nonconformist bodies. Great
Britain, with less than half the popu-
lation of the United States and Can
ada, already gives sS,973,000 year
to foreign missions, little less than
is given by the North American con-
tinent. The balance needed to make
up the worlds total S3,S27 900 being
given by all other countries. 1t is
expected that the gifts of Great Brit
ain will be stimulated in proportion to
those on this side. In any case, evc:.
Wall street will have to take notice
Of the flow of money into foreign mis-
sion channels.

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people? The answer to that ques-
ton explains why a remedy that acts
on the blood can cure nervous, trou,
bles. 1t explains why Dr. Wlillai ms
Pink Pills for Pale People are also Ior
nervous people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles In the
blood and the health of the nerves

RESTRICTION OF PASSES.
No One Below Certain Rank May Be
Considered.

Chicago. Jan. 13.-The railroads are
considering a recommendation that an
nua1 passes be no longer issu ed Compile
mentary direct to officers and agents of
other roads below the rank of assistant
general passenger agent. To the pres
ent. affirmative expressions have been
received from all the railroads. with
only one or two exceptions. on the ques-
ton OF adopting this rule. 1t has been
objected, however, that so many of the
representatives of eastern lines have
charge jointly of both freight and pas
senger departments that action of the
passenger departments would be prac-
tically nullified by reason of the restric-
ton not applying to the freight depart
ment, through which passes might be
issued. 49,
1t seems that unless restrictive meas
ures are taken the indiscriminate. is
suance of these passes will go on, and
even If the passenger departments are
entirely In accord it would not have
the desired effect unless the freight de-
partments also act on a similar recon-
mendation. This is being called to the
attention Of the railroads before the ex-
change passes are issued for the new
year.
