Costly though it be thetemper-

rope is feeling it's good effects. 1t
may be that the war there will
be the death knell to liquor as
we'll as thousands of men. We
ardently wish the men might
be spared but that the LIQUOR
may be completely annihilated.
The press dispatches a few
weeks ago told us that actual
and complete prohibition was in
force throughout the entire
Russian empire, and that not a
drop of vodka, whiskey, brandy,
gin nor any other strong drink
could be had from one end to
the other of an area populated
by $50, 900, 900 people and COM
posing one sixth of the habitable
globe. The dispatch sta tie d
further:
The results are already seen
in the peasantry. They are be-
ginning to look like a different
race. Marks of suffering, the
pinched look of illness and inn
proper nourishment have gone
from their faces. Their clothes
are cleaner and both men and
women appear better dressed.
Homes Of the poor, formerly
destitute, now present something
like order and thrift.
When France can declare for
prohibition; when the Russian
Gear can prohibit the sale of
vodka; when the German En-
peror DEGREES against alcohol,
may not we in South Carolina
call for prohibition? Read this:
Paris, November s.-Perna.
nent prohibition of the sale of
absinthe and kindred alcoholic
beverages in France may result
from the war. Transpo1 tatlon
and sale of absinJhe were for
hsSden when the war began and
the government now has for
hidden the sale of any alcoholic
drink similar to absinthe. There
is a marked movement in all
parts of France tending to per-
petuate the prohibition. +"
The war that America is to
wage against liquor should be

Raising money for the suffer
ers in Belgium women and
children who are homeless and
without foods right and prop
er; but don't lose your heads,
please. It is now suggested that
money be raised in America for
the benefit of Belgian prisoners
of war in Germany. That's
Germany's duty. Of course,
America can feed the world, :"
but we can not afford to feed
some else's prisoners; it's asking
too much. Try raising a few
dollars for our vast army of or
phans at home, if you just must
give to some cause; and we know
of no better cause right now.

The Temperance Cause Spreading

without blood. It is a moral is
sue and should be settled in a
free, open contest upon principle
and not by force of arms. And
we are fast approaching the
day when it will be a nation
wide issue, indeed tits that now.
Secretary of State w. j. Bryan
sounded the war tocsin soon
after the election in November.
Have gave the Democratic party
two warnings, the first was that
the Republican party is still a
factor in politics and must be
reckoned with in 1916 and the
second demands that Democracy
divorce itself from any and all
connection with the liquor in
terests of the country. Would it
be at all surprising to see in the
next Democratic platform a
prohibition plank? Such a dec
iaration backed up by such men
as President Wilson, with him
self on it as a candidate for re-
election, and Secretary Bryan,
with the prohibition sentiment
now prevailing over the nation
would mean sure victory.
But let South Carolina not
wait till 1916. Let us have the
question voted on, and liquor
voted out in 1915 SO that we may
more fully be committed to the
cause when the National Demo.
cratic Convention meets that
our delegates may help in put
ting this plank in its platform.

 Was Opposed to AsyIums For the ln-
 generation of the Insane.
 The late Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell, the famous Philadelphia author and physi- clan who died in his eighty-fifth year, long ago achieved distinction that made him conspicuous in contempora. ry history as a man without either predecessor or compeer ill the varied quality of his genius. He was the most celebrated Philadelphian since Benjamin Franklin.
 Dr. Mitchcl's fame both as physi- clan and author was international, al- though he probably was more widely known as a writer of fiction. His last

book appeared a few months ago un der the title of "Westways." His first novel. "ln War Times" was publi ,hed ! when he was f1fty-three years old. In 1862 he began his three years work as an army surgeon, having spe' cial charge of soldiers suffering from nervous disorders and wounds involv- ing the nervous system. This was per haps the beginning of career that gained for him q worldwide reputa- tion as neurologist.
 Dr. Mitchell explored fields hitherto untrodden by any member of the med. ical profession.
 Health through repose" was Dr. Mitchell's idea of curing nervous pros tration.

 Whats that?" inquired the patient.
 What! You don't know the treat ment of Dr. Weir Mitchell?"
 And the Italian sent the American home to be cured.
 The story as related by friends of Dr. Mitchell is to the effect that the physician himself while visiting Paris suffered a recurrence of nervous ailment attributed to overwork. With out divulging his identity. he called on a specialist with whose name he was familiar as being that of a man famous in both hemispheres.
 "I see that you are an American" " remarked the French physician.

 In 1894 Dr. Mitchell began crusade against insane asylums, saying they were the worst possible places for the insane. Life in them was deadly; they were like prisons, Ne said.
