Industrialism and Drink.

The use of alcohol to drown trou-
BILE and to make a man forget the
worries of the day, as suggested by
Prof. Munsterberg, Is not favored by
the industrial leaders in Germany
and Austria. A resolution passed at
the Fifth Industrial Congress, held In
Vienna, declared that alcohol weak
ems the thinking power of the labor
ing man so that he is not In a condi-
ton to consider means of lettering
his condition, and that in that
country alcoholism IS one Of the
greatest hindrances to the physical
and mental advancement Of the
working classes. This Congress re-
solved, says Der Abstinent, to en-
gage in an active campaign of lee
lures and literature to teach the peo-
pie the destructive consequences of
the use of alcohol for the workman
and his family.

in the mop-wringer attachment de-
signed by a Colorado man.
BY means Of this device the yarn
end of a mop may be squeezed COM
p%aratively dry by the mere turning OF
a crank. At the bottom Of the handle
is a wringer device, consisting Of two
parallel wire frames operated by a
strong spring. One end of the mop
is placed in the jaws of the device,
and by turning the handle, which OPP
crates the wheel, the yarn is drawn
through the wires like clcthesthrough
a clothes wrirger. The advantage of
being able to squeeze most of the
moisture out Of a mop to make it
damp, instead of dripping, is we'll
known. This cannot be done salts
f~actorily by hand, and the only other
device for that purpose is an attach
ment for a bucket, but this necessi-
tates the carrying around of the buck
ct wherever the mop is taken.-Bos-

An inappropriate Blessing.

. Is not God, Who made the SUI to
shine, also willing ard able to let
His light and His presence so shine
through me that I can walk all the
day with God nearer to me than any,
thing in nature? Praise God, He can
do it. Why, then, does He do it so
seldom, and in such feeble measure?
There is but one answer; you do not
permit it. You are so occupied n
filled with other things-religious
things, perhaps-that you do not give
God time to make Himself known,
and to enter and take possession

The Curse in France and Switzerland.

AN u1o Ia CSlhO oWItLCIluhU
A poster prepared in 1900 by the
Medical Society of Nancy and signed
by nearly all the physicians in that
Department, stated that more than
eleven per cent. Of Frances 36,000,-
600 inhabitants, l. e., 100000, are
alcoholists.
Figures given by Magnan for the
Partisan (Insane) Hospital of st.
Anne for the year 1894 show that
30.11 per cent. of the men received
and 9.05 per cent. of the women were
alcoholists in the true sense, but If
all those are included "for whom al
cohol opened the door of the insane
asylum" the corresponding numbers
would be 1912 and 1881 per cent.
| France stands third on the list Of
countries where suicide Is the most
frequent, her rate being 246 per
100000 inhabitants.
During the debate on the abolition
of the death penalty in the French
Chamber of Deputies, July, 1908, Jo-
seph Reinach, vice-president Of the
anti-alcohol group in the Chamber,
said:
ut is not the penal laws that are
responsible for the increase in crime;
it is alcoholism. OF that statistics
allow no doubt. And why should
not crime increase with the increas-
ing consumption Of alcohol, which
Weakens the will and dulls the intelli-
gence, delivers the brain up to un-
moral responsibility that 1t becomes
only a fiction? 1t is much easier to
rub the rust from the guillotine and
set. it up again in our public places
than to institute an effective fight
against alcoholism, this scourge Of
our time, this destroyer of u mill
tary strength, this annihilator of our
vital energy; and it takes less courage
to set up and maintain the guillotine
than to touch the privilege of the pri-
vate distillers to reduce the sale OF
alcohol"
I'm 1884" writes DR.. r. Hercod,
of the International Temperance Blu
reau, "the Swiss Federal Council was
of the opinion that moderate beer
drinking was an antidote against
spirit-drinking. 1t afterward recog-
nized this as a mistake, and in the
message of March is, 1901, admitted
that we were threatened in Switzer-
land with a beer and wine plague"
Switzerland has been for a number
Of years the centre of an active scien-
tifc investigation of the alcohol prob
lem, and is the only country thus far
that requires in her mortality statis-
tics definite information. regarding al
coholism as a contributing cause Of
death. Her official statistics for 1901
gave the rate of deaths due wholly or
in part to alcohol as twelve per cent.
For the. decade from 1892 to 1902
the average rate was 1912 per cent.
These statistics have furnished the
basis for the often recurring state
ment that in Switzerland every tenth
man dies from alcohol.
DR.. Herman Blocher says the alco-
hol question is the question OF exist
nee for the Swiss people.

in t~wo-by-four rooms, with no closets,
the advantage of the invention here
presented looms large. In the first
place there is a grooved bracket, with
hooks by which it may be quickly
screwed fast to the wall. A shelf
hinged to the bracket fits into the
groove and along the bracket under
the shelf, and on the bottom of the
shelf are rows of hooks On which to
hang clothing. Depending from the
shelf and inclosing the clothing is a
large bag which effectually protects
the garments from the dust and other
dirt that is bound to accumulate.
For persons who travel to any extent
or who summer in resorts where room
is at a premium, n of these portable
wardrobes will be found invaluable.
When folded for carrying they occupy
little space in the t~runk.-Washing-

Beta-naphthol is a most powerful, yet
