TALK ON ALCOHOL DANGER
British Physician Declares Liquor 10
Brain PoIson-Crime Costs $780,
100000 Yearly.

Or. Albert Wilson, addressing the
Society TOR the Study OF lnebriety on
Alcoholism and Crime said every
year one million persons were ar
rested. Sixty or 70 per cent OF those
arrests were associated with alcohol.
while four out OF five OF the victims
OF execution were brought to the gal
lows by drink.
Crime costs every year about $780,
100000. Criminal tendency was. he
maintained, accelerated by alcohol IN
the parents.
There was no nation which showed
so much mental deterioration as the
British and there was no nation 80
thoroughly alcoholized. They had an
object lesson in the Jews-a non.
alcoholized race. who always came out
on top. while the alcoholized Chris
tians went under There was no
brain poison so subtle or far-reachina
as alcohol, which had the same eject
as chloroform.
1t seemed to him they had been on
the wrong track in dealing with these
questions They must check drink
ing. condemn idleness as crime, and
endeavor to raise the poor by improv
ing them, not, as at present, By
pauperizing them

Advancement Of Berlin.

Az Berlin develops in its education

ping the remains of Its former pro-
yincialism. In many things the
change Is obvious to the resident OF
only q decades standing.
The modern hotel, often run on
American lines, has all but supplanted
the modest Gasthaus OF earlier times;
the street car and the elevated road
and the taxi have driven out the
horse omnibus, and will soon have
driven the ordinary horse droschky
of the streets. Provincial manner,
too, are disappearing with the growth
of metropolitan self-consciousness.
The once popular practice Of man
and wife or sweethearts walking arm

show that she had captured hus.
