Alcohol as a Cause of Cancer.

1t is suggested in a report from Ba.
varia, lately published by the British
foreign office as a white paper, from
Mr.. Buchanan, the British consul, that
there is a close connection between
alcohol and cancer, for high medical
authority in Bavaria declares that
most of his patients suffering from
cancer are connected with the public
house trade, and freely consume alco-
hol in some form or other. The con-
sui points to the fact that endeavors
made in high as we'll as even in So
cial Democratic quarters-both in Ber-
lin and in Munich-to propagate the
principles Of temperance. together
with the highes cost Of living, are not
without results, as is shown by the
steady decrease in the consumption OF
beer. AS further confirmation Of what
is already an accepted fact-the con-
nection between alcohol and cancer
the consuls report is interesting.

OPEN WAR AGAINST SALOONS
Question Arises as to Why Should Not
Men and Religion Attack Prime
Cause of Social Evil.

THE saloon has everywhere been
found to be prime cause of all kinds
of social evils" This is the state
ment Of a leader in the social serv-
Ice section OF the Men and Religion
Forward Movement. I'VE have in
variably urged" the report continues,
the indirect attack upon 1t (the sa-
loom by such substitutes as school
centers, CONVERSATIONS, and recre-
alton centers." The question natural
ly arises, why not a direct attack?
Not that other things should be left
undone-these substitutes" are most
helpful-but that the liquor traffic be
fought in the open. and without cir
cumlocution. Why should not men
and religion move straight forward
against the prime cause of all social
evil?

Gle, which is a valuable contribution
to temperance literature Sir Thorn
as Whitaker sums up in these words:
The system must be judged as a
whole. Evil is inseparable from the
common sale and general use of in
toxicants-not in every individual
case, but in every community. There
is no nation in the world today-and
there never has been one--of which
this is not true. 1t is in the very ma
ture of alcohol that it should and must
be So"

I.n.ilSSii HOME RULE

SANCTIONS MEASURE WITHA
MAJORITY OF ITO.
DEMONSTRATORS OF Joy
Goes Now to Lords-That Body Sure
to Reject Unjust Be Passed Three
Times-Wild Scenes in House of
Commons-Unionists Crestfallen.

London, Jan. u Amid scenes of
fervid joy by the Irish Nationalist,
which were shared by the other mem
bers of the Government coalition, the
Home Rule bill passed its third read
ing and the final stage in the House
of Commons by a majority of 10, and
was sent Immediately to the House of
Lords. 1t was the climax of a debate
which lasted for fifty-two days. Every
possible vote had been whipped in and
the House was crowded.
Bonar Law, the leader of the Oppo-
sition, and Augustine Birrell, the Chief
Secretary for Ireland, were the prin-
cipals in the final encounter The
Unionist leader, while admitting that
he had nothing new to say, reiterated
his deliberate conviction that no re-
bellion would be better justified than
one by the Ulster orangemen against
the new Irish Parliament. He said he
knew that Ulster orangemen would re-
bel, and they were bound to succeed
because they were ready to give their
lives for the cause. If a hundred men
were shot down in the streets of Bel
fast thousand more would be ready
to take their places and the RESPONSE
bility of the shooting would be on the
Government.
Mr.. Birrell concluded the debate. He
said he regretted that the Opposition
had merely belittled a movement
which for years had been the soul of
Ireland.
When the figures were announced
the Nationalist waved hats, handker-
chiefs and papers, and cheered Justify
for Premier Asquith and Mr. Red
mond The latter, who is usually i'm
passive, was carried away by the en-
thusiasm Of his followers and entered
into the spirit of the demonstrations
as effusively as they.
There were similar scenes in the
outer lobby, into which the public
crowded to hear the verdict Hats
We're thrown into the air, umbrellas
were waved, and cheers, mingled with
few "boos, arose.
Particularly noticeable were the
shrill voices of a large number of
women who were present, many of
them wearing some object in green in
token Of their Irish sympathies
The House of Lords held a special
session to receive the bill, and in ac-
cordance with the usual form it was
read for the first time and ordered
printed. The Lords Immediately ad-
iourned.
The Lords will undoubtedly reject
the bill. Under the Parliament act it
will come back to the House of Com
mons and if passed AT two successive
sessions by that body will become a
law, with the royal assent, without
the concurrence of the House of
Lords. This process may occupy be-
tween one and two years.

Where Rest Is.

There Is no rest to be found in any
escape from the will of God. We may
elude plain duty; We may recoil from
that which We know we ought to do,
and yet which seems too hard for US,
and refuse to undertake the task. But
there Is no rest in this course. Gods
will, II 1t requires work for us, is pro-
viding a rest In and through that work
sufficient for our needs, for his will
is not in conflict with his love. If we
feel the need of rest, let us not be too
sure that We shall find 1t in freedom
from work
