penitentiary sentence 80 per cent

The liquor traffic is a peril to So

Of man. 1t Is a source of danger to
posterity because the alcoholic taint

CHIEF FACTOR IN NATIONAL DE-

CHIEF FACTOR IN NATIONAL DE-
GENERAcY.
A wave Of degeneracy is sweeping
the land. and its development threat
ems the physical vitality of the nation.
Within a period Of so years the popu-
lation Of the United States increased
$50 per cent. while the number Of In
sane and feeble-minded increased $50
per cent.
What is the cause of this degener-
acy? A hundred different intermediate
agencies may contribute to the undo
Ing OF the race, put back of them all
stands alcohol as the chief degen.
erative factor. Statistics compiled by
the leading insurance companies, and
presented by Sir T. P. Whitaker In a
report to the British parliament, show
that out Of every 1000 deaths among
the population at large, 440 are due to
alcohol. This would mean a mortality
from alcohol in the United States of
100000 year.
The great burden Of drink is not
borne by the drinker. but by the drink
ers' children. In our studies among
school children in New York city we
hnd that 62 per cent. are the children
OF drinking parents, and that 81 per
cent. Of these children of drinking
parents suffer from some functional
or organic disease. II this percentage
holds good over the entire country
there are 100000 children of
school age that are afflicted with func.
tional and organic diseases. and less
than two and half millions of these
are free from hereditary alcohol taint.
A nation half diseased and half we'll
cannot live, but here we show three
ffths Of the rising generation mentally
and physically diseased.-Dr. L. Alex

ONE EXCEPTION.

Legitimate industries favorably af-
feet each other. The liquor traffic
unfavorably affects them all. The more
1t flourishes, the more they must de-
cline. Its profits are taken from the
merchant, and the manufacturers be-
bind him; from the butcher, and the
cattle raisers behind him; from the
farmer. the miller, the baker, the
builder, the shoemaker, the printer,
the teacher. and the preacher. Every
honest producer suffers from 1t. The
country suffers from it. More than low
tariff. or high tariff, or no tariff at all,
1t depreciates American industry.-A.

Christ to show us all these things. He
taught us how to live; and then he

his friends. to show us that. as he
lived after death, SO we should live

made 1t palmer still. He said that we

she had known, she would have kissed
me back again-for she always did.
And, oh, oh-my mother is dead!"
II know it seems SO, darling"
sighed the aunt, whose own heart was
sore and heavy, "but under that still
face there was yet life. Christ showed
US that when he rose from the dead.
He did not answer when his mother
and his disciples called him; but one
day he rose from this seeming death,
to show us that no one really dies.
That was the first Easter day. Men
had always hoped-but they had never
surely known before then-that the
dead could rise again. Is it not beau
tiful, dear?"
The child for a little seemed COM
forted. Then he looked over to the
familiar chair where the sweet mother
had been wont to hold him and pet
him, and again he broke into sobs. He
was only five-and his little mind
could not grasp the great, sweet truth
which his aunt had been telling him
At last she said: Il will show 1t to
you some time so that you will under
stand"
1t was in the early springtime that
the young mother had been laid away
from his sight. The cold winds were
blowing, the trees looked bare and
gaunt and dead.
Out among the leafless woods the
aunt led the grieving child.
See these poor trees" she said to
him. Does 1t not look to you as
though they were quite dead?"
He felt carefully of the branch
which she held out to him.
YES" he answered; 1T is only an
old dead stick-just good to burn in
the fire."
1T seems so," she admitted. "but
wait while, and we will come back
here again"
One warm, sunny day, few weeks
later, she took him to the same spot
and showed him the same bough
again. It was covered with soft.
fuzzy leaf-buds, and little clusters of
tender green leaves were bursting
from them.
"And it is so with our dear ones
who de-" she reminded him gently
"They seem dead, but they really
live; and somewhere they are happy
and beautiful-more beautiful than
they were here-just as the leaves are
more beautiful than the bare tree"
The child gazed after them. Then
he looked back at the once deadlock
ing, bare trees. He remembered well
the queer, brown sticks. How wonder
ful it wasl
