DECLINE IN OUR BIRTH RATE
Alcohol and Drug Habits Are Con.
stantIy Adding to Degenerate
List and the Death Roll.

An eastern life assurance society
sends out a publication each quarter
to its policy holders. They are en-
phasizing the fact that the health of
every policy holder is of interest to
the company and to other policy hold
ers.
From a recent address of the con-
servation commissioner of the society
we quote these warning words:
with all its blessings modern civil
lization has introduced hazards, hab-
its and conditions of life which not
only invite but which have increased
In many ways physical, mental and
moral degeneracy.
Our birth rate is declining. OF the
100000 school children in this
country not less than Is per cent
need attention for physical defects
which are prejudicial to health.
"The alcohol and drug habits are
constantly adding to the degenerate
list and the death roll.
"The diseases of vice are spreading
and we lack the moral courage to
openly war against them.
Users Of alcohol are especially sus
ceptible to the attacks of pneumonia
germs"

VIEWS OF LEADING JOURNALS
Progressive Newspapers Keep Up
With Times on Temperance as Well
as on other Vital Questions.

In recent interview with Mrs. L.
NJ U. Stevens, president National
w. G. 7. u, a newspaper corre-
spondent asked the question:
How do the temperance views Of
the leading journals Of the country
compare with those of editors and con-
tributors who, ten years ago, were a
power in the journalistic world? 1t
is said that their best thoughts find
their way to your study"
Journalism and journalists have
kept up with the times on the temper
ance question, as well as on all other
prominent issues" was the reply
More than $50 dailies refuse to take
liquor advertisements, and nearly all
of the best magazines now exclude
them. Through the Subtle use Of
money by brewers and distlllers, arti-
cles against total abstinence and pro-
hibition occasionally appear in the
magazines, for money still is power
but truth is mightier than money, and
is evermore making its way. Lead,
ing journalists now recognize that the
nation wide movement to outlaw the
liquor traffic is an economic question,
and public sentiment is fast demand.

Horse lin a Tree

Visitors to Ferry Bar werO much
surprised yesterday morning 10 see a
horse up among the branches of a
tree. The animal had got in its un.
comfortable position by falling ten
feet from bank that overtopped the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
Blocks and fall were fastened to q
tree stump on top of the hill and
leather belts were wrapped about the
horse. When the work Of hitching
the belts was completed it was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs Of the tree
we're cut off. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work of the score or
more of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal Of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re-
vealed that outside of few
scratches he was unhurt.-Baltimore

STRANGE CLAIMS IN COURT
Law Suits Of Peculiar Origin That
Have Been Placed on the Rec
ords by Lawyers.

The recent claim for damages
brought against a great London eng.
land) shop by a consumptive clerk,
on the ground that the insanitary state
Of the office had brought on his dis
ease, drew from the Judge the remark
that this was the first case Of the
sort that had ever come before the
courts.
Cases even more remarkable keep
cropping up at intervals, though, for
tunately, they are seldom Of 80 grave
nature.
Some ten years ago, for instance, a
Birmingham commercial traveller sued
a chemist for compensation for the
damages done by special hair dye
which the chemist, its inventor, had
guaranteed would turn his customers
hair an enduring brown.
What 1t really did was to turn his
hair a curious blush tinge, with
patches Of gray. The chemist had Of
fered to compromise by supplying his
indignant customer with any recog-
nized make Of dye he wished for the
rest of his life. But an action fol
lowed, and the piebald traveller Sc
cured damages.
One of the funniest cases ever
brought into court Of lt.w was surely
that which tickled all Australia toward
the end Of the last century. A young
Sydney business woman had mixed a
secret drink cure with her brothers
breakfast coffee.
The brother found the effect en-
tremely unwelcome, and when he real
lied who was responsible for his fad
ing interest in strong dtink, he was
ungrateful enough to sue his sister for
$4,000 damages for Consequent loss
Of thirst" But an unsySApathetic jury
took the sisters side.
A case that reused great interest in
medical circles, as well IS a good deal
Of amusement, was an action brought
a good many years ago by a surgeon
at London hospital against a col
league for the loss Of an ear.
A diseased ear was 10 be Gmputat

Temptation.

No matter how we may safeguard
ourselves, there is no one of us who is
free from those sudden rushes OF temp
tation which at times seem almost un.
comfortable, as we'll as inexplicable.
Perhaps they are revolts Of nature,
scorning restraint and violently self
asserting. Nearly always they are re-
lated to the egotism that, in its subor.
dination TO social law, often feels itself
limited and irritated. They ought to
make us more patient with one an
other Each day they give us lessons
In humility. 1t is perhaps due to our
egotism that so many of these lessons
are lost We cannot reflect too often
on the speech that moved Wesley to
say, as a prisoner passed him bearing
the insignia of his disgrace There,
but for the grace of God, goes John
Wesley"
Such an attitude is in itself beau
tiful perquisite.-From "Intimations,"
