Poisons in Liquors.

Government and private reports tell of
greatly increasing use of wood alcohol
chemically called methyl alcohol. Not
"ithstanding the fact that methvl is
POISONOUS and many states have legis-
.ated AGAINST it. the practice of putting
y INTO wines and cordials goes on mer-
lily. The reason is that pure grain alco-
Hol costs about five times as much as
methyl. y few deaths he~e and there
don't matter
Health inspectors in New York city

Of the dangerous methyl. None was

cent.
The infected drinks included fernet
mllanos. vermuths. Jamaica runs,
cEemes. orange cordials. elixirs Bor-
oeaGN anlsette and many other kinds OF
coTdlais and liquors. y little boy who
drank one of these poisoned drinks in
Massachusetts, a short time ago, died "A

OF course, they were glad of the
chance to go into South Africa to kill
Beers. They didn't mind shooting
down the natives of India. Undoubt-
edly they would consider it patriotic
duty to order their soldiers to fire
upon striking English workingmen.
But here was a different situation.
In Ulster they might have to order
the privates to fire their deadly bull
lets at rich landlords, members of the
nobility-in/ fact, their friends and
associates, their class.
l am not finding fault with that.
On the contrary, am glad they did
just what they did. 1t may educate
the men who carry the guns, who do
the killing and getting killed, when
the rulers of men go to war.
And when these private soldiers
get their eyes open then THEY may
see that there is no more sense in
them shooting down THEIR class,
THEIR friends and associates,
THEIR brothers, fathers and other
relatives, than there is in the classy
officers doing the same thing.
And that may lead the privates in
the English army-and then in all
armies-to insist on having a voice in
determining whether they shall fight
or not; and then refusing to fight
unless they are satisfied they are
fighting for the betterment of hui
mainly and a good cause.
And that means there would be
mighty little fighting, for there is
rarely a good cause for trained
armies of men to shoot each other
down.
It's all rot for English workers to
kill German workers, for German
workers to kill French workers, or
for the workers of any nation to kill
the workers of any other nation, just
because a handful of masters in the

A Pointer for Privates.-I was
glad to read about how those English
army officers threw up their jobs and
refused to fight when they didn't ap-
prove of the cause. The important
thing about it is that they didn't
want to lead a fight against their own
class.

Prisons and Prisoners.-Isn't it
strange when you come to think
about it that man out of work has
to violate law or get some officer
sore at him in order to get place to
sleep and something to eat?
1t is a very simple matter to break
into some prison; and once there So
ciety has to feed, clothe and shelter
the poor.
But prisons are so uncomfortable.
They have iron bars over the win
dows. They have steel-barred cells
for sleeping rooms. And they have a
lot of officers of the law hanging
around in uniforms, drawing pay.
l don't like the architecture of
prisons.
1t wouldn't cost us so much to
build them if we didn't build those
steel cells in them and put steel bars
on the windows
We could save money by building
them farther out from the center of
town, where land isn't so valuable
and where the air is purer.
We could save money by building
them like we build our hospitals.
And then we could admit the poor
and hungry without forcing them to
violate the sacred rights of property
in order to get food and shelter.
And isn't it strange, too, that the
sensitive man, the man who doesn't
want to violate the law, who wants to
be good and all that sort of thing,
who prefers starvation to prison
isn't it strange that, if he prefers
starvation, the rest of us will let him
have his way about it and starve?
Things are upside down sometimes,
aren't they?
