Opium Traffic 60 End in 1917,

The date of the final abandon
ment of the opium traffic named
in the new agreement entered in
to between Great Britain and
China is 1917. This agreement
contains a stipulation that China's
pro duction Of the drug and India's
export of it shall be proportion
ately reduced year by year until
the traffic ends.
The London Times ventures the
prophecy that the traffic in Pekin
will cease in two years. 1t is
stated that while during the past
three years Great Britain has cut
off three-tenths Of the shipments
from India, China has decreased
its production by seven-tenths.
China's determination to free
herself from this giant vice is
worthy of emulation in the Occi-
dent. If the Wanted patriotism
Of the men and women of the
land of the free and the home of
the brave could unitedly be con-
verted into a wholesome and ag-
gressive hate Of the great destroy
er Of America, the process Of max
ing white our map would be ac-
complished with speed and dex-
terity. That Is being accomplished
no thoughtful student Of the signs
of the times doubts, but every
years delay means destruction "
thousands Of young men and
women, and little children. In
legal phrase, time Is, indeed, o.
the ssenc 81 this contract.-Us-

LondOn's Lord Mayor on Total
Abstinence.

Sir Vezey Strong, the Lord
Mayor of London, in an article in
Peurson's Weekly, an Eaglish peri
odical, tells why he became a to-
tai abstainer:
eft is not quite correct to say, as
has been said recently, that have
been a total abstainer all my life;
but as | became officially con-
nected with the temperance move
ment at the age of fourteen | sup
pose l may, for all practical pur-
poses, be counted as a lifelong
abstainer. Certainly l do not
think it will be charged against
me that l could have been very
seriously addicted to intoxicants
at that early age.
l have been asked why l be-
came a total abstainer? Well, a
boys reasoning faculties are not
very we'll developed at the age OF
fourteen, so it would be better to
ask why | have remained an alb
stainer for SO many years since
that time.
The reason is simply that have
become convinced that wine or
beer or spirits, or any other form
OF alcohol in N use is un-
necessary. useless, and in many
cases actually harmful.
| do not think | need emphasize
its harmfulness; that is only too
pitiably we'll known in every
corner of the earth.
One has often heard it said that
alcohol is OF great benefit as a
stimulant; 1t is certainly a stimu-
lation, but its lack of benefit is
now, l think, beyond doubt. For
many years this was the last
stronghold of the defenders OF all
coholic treatment: that stimulants
were necessary to those in Ill
health, and that alcohol was,
therefore, of great medical value.
This view was so widely accept
ed that | a remember the time
when, in the older hospitals, a
patient was asked whether he
took stout or ale. Alcoholic slim
ulant was, in fact, regarded as
part of the patients diet.
Now it seemed to one or two
audacious laymen, myself includ-
ed, that this theory of the curative
value of alcohol vas open to grave
doubt, and it was decided to in
stitute a careful and strictly scien'
tifc test as to the possibilities o
a general hospital, where all sorts
of disease might be treated, be-
ing run on Temperance lines.
With this object in. VIEWS hos
pital was started in quite a small
way. That was nearly forty year
ago and to-day the London Tenn
perance hospital is a we'll Enow
and recognized institution.
In all those years, SO far as N!
knowledge goes, one not ounce 0
brandy or beer or wine of an!
description has entered the hos
pital, either for the use of tn
patients or of the stat. Unto

Two Progressive Measures Passed
 By Parliament
Veto Bill Takes From Lords Ancient Prerogatives and ln- duStrial Insurance Benefits 15,OO0,OOO Working People of Great Britain
Especial from United Press. ,

London, Dec. 16.-Parliament ad- journed, today, after having written into the statute books two of the most progressive pieces of legislation In It's history-the veto bill and the indus trial insurance bill.
 The veto measure takes away from the Lords the ancient right to lnullify the will of the people as expresse through their elective reports By the terms of the insurance law, 15,- 0OO, 1000 workmen and working women in the United Kingdom have con- ferred upon them, in the words of Premier Asquith, the greatest al- deviation of the risks and sufferlngs of life that any parliament has ever provided for the people,"
 Just prior to the adjournment of parliament, the Kings speech was read. His Majesty expressed great satisfaction with the provisions of the insurance bill, which, he believed, would induce thrift and self-reliance and would do much toward relieving the miseries and hardships/ resulting from unemployment.
 King George also praised the gov- ernment for it's success in bringing about a peaceful settlement of the Moroccan trouble.

a conversation. It is in debate with the batter that Sullivan shines.
 Recruits, until their weaknesses are discovered, are feared as much as the veteran slugger. Often they break up games because the pitcher, not know ing on what ball they are weak, puts 1t in the groove. To get line on newcomers and keep them from breaking fences, Sullivan engages them on various topics. Meantime the livan's monologue in the incident cit ed went something like this:
 Lets see what league are you from?" asks Sully.
 "I've played in the Southern Mich igan for two years" responds the newcomer.
 "Did you know King Cole when
 "No, Cole was a year before my time replied the recruit. The call of strike one reminds the youngster he is in a ball game.
 Understand you were one of the best hitters in the 1eague?"
 q hit around 300" said the busher. "b,lt the pitching in the big show is a lot different"
 The call of strike two awakens the new man.
 Many spitball pitchers in that lea gue?' continues sully' uo.nonaoa .,o minor leaguer, who had made up his mind he will swing at the next one.
 You won't have any trouble mak- ing good up here,'' continues Sulli- van. This bit. of salve appeals. He is building air castles when the um- pire announces Strike three. You're out'' x
 Don't worry" says Sully, "Lajoie, Cobb. Speaker, Crawford and all the other boys do it now and then"
 The recruit walked back to the bench crest fallen Sullivan smiled, for he has accomplished his purpose. Tn a pinch he had practically talked the youngster into striking out.
