THE rate of insurance for cargOes

Between 5000 and 5000 foreign
voyages have been undertaken to and

five per thousand. of which have been
caused by merchant vessels taking
everything for granted and proceed

"On the other hand. German over

could have been used as auxiliary

they are studied the greater will be

Ramsay Macdonald, NJ. p, speaking
ut Leicester. He appealed to religious
institutions to see that Sunday is not
secularized. People talked a lot OF
nonsense about the Scottish Sabbath.
and did not know what they were
talking about. II they were only
trained to appreciate the Scottish Sab
bath--it would take some amount OF
training-they would not be sorry II
they had 1t.
All the talk about turning Sunday
into a day Of recreation was humbug
and dangerous. In trying to do It
they were beginning at the wrong end
of the stick. They should not sacri-
fee the blessings they had got.
He looked forward to the time when
everybody would have sufficient time
for recreation during the secular days
Of the week. An enlightened demo-
crazy should value a day Of spiritual
rest SO much that their hands would
be lifted up against any man or move
ment that desired to secularize the

BOGUS ARGUMENT.

From Noah down, men have used
and abused intoxicants, but that sig
miles nothing whatever. From Noah.
down, men have done all sorts OF fool
things, and as to some Of the things
have gradually learned that they we're
follies and so eschewed them. George
Washington drank rum before break
fast. There is no more reason for
sticking to Georges rum than for cup
ping and bleeding patients for every
illness. That normal human nature
does not need alcohol we know from
the millions of men and women who
do without it-and female human ma
ture has always been able to subsist
without getting drunk. The histori-
cal argument is bogus. The moder-
ate drinker need not be considered
at all; for IL a man Is truly a moder-
ate drinker. alcohol is Of such slight
account to him that its presence or
absence can make no difference
