IDEAL HUSBAND MUST BE
IDEAL LOVER, SAY WIVES
One Hundred Matrons Give Pastor
Details of Model Mate for
Use InSernor

Detroit, Nov. 22.-Happiness in mar
ried life depends first OF all on the abiI-
ity of the husband to maintain as ardent
a wooing after marriage as during the
courtship. This is the opinion of 100 De-
troit wives, expressed in letters to the
Rev. Howard A. Field, pastor OF the
Simpson NJ. E. Church. The letters were
requested by Mr.. Field and the pastor
based a sermon, THE Ideal Husband, :"
on them. All agreed that the ideal hus-
band must be an ideal lover. Other nee
essary qualities Of an ideal husband in
the order Of their importance were fixed
as follows:
He must be a lover OF home.
He must be Industrious even to the
extent of being willing to roll up his
sleeves and help tidy the house.
He must be morally pure-there can
be no double standard Of purity.
He must treat his wife as his equal
not as a servant.
He must be temperate.

Of Course It's a Benefit

Not only has Russia shared in the benefits of
Prohibitory orders Of the emperor in regard to the
sale and use of liquor, but all other nations at war
have also received gain from the regulatory and pro-
%hibitory provisions of their governments.
Dispatches from England tell how drunkenness
has decreased and prosperity has been furthered by
the closing of saloons at certain hours. Here is a
pointer for America, whose people rightly regard it
as the foremost nation on earth.
If England, for example, notes a benefit from
closing the saloons at certain hours, how much more
benefit she might note if saloons were closed at all
hours!
If Russia and England get a benefit from Pro-
~hibition, how greatly America also might benefit!
And, indeed, America is reaping the benefit.
Step by step Our map is growing white. Day by day
Our people are learning that the liquor question is a
national issue as we'll as a local one, and that the
only way to solve the liquor problem is by national
Prohibition.

And seek the Saviours blessing,
\ nation in a day-Old missionary hymn.
Russia, a nation of 100000, by the stroke of the
imperial pen, and almost literally in a day, has been
made a Prohibition nation. The sale for beverage
uses of all sorts of liquor has been outlawed.
Reform movements necessarily are slow and of
ten ponderous. It is necessary to educate the people
up to the moral standard sought to be adopted. Es-
pecially is this true if, in adopting the standard, legal
or constitutional changes are needed. 1t is held to be
beyond human possibility to reform a nation all at
once and in one effort. But the writer OF the old hymn

Brewers Efforts to Invade the Home

Ihe brewers are not going to quit business with
the closing Of the saloon if they can help it. They are
lighting desperately to save the licensed bar, but at
the same time they are seeking to establish a trade
that will not be dependent upon the saloon as a dis
%trlbuting agency. They know that the saloon is DOOM
ed. Some other way must be found to sell beer.
Hence the booming Of this plan-of selling direct
from brewery to the home! This is the order of the
day with the brewer.
Accordingly, billboards, newspapers and circular
letters are announcing beer as the Temperance drink,
good for the whole family; buy it by the case
A special effort is put forth to win the friendship
of the women Of the home.
10 this end a booklet is being extensively circu-
lated, entitled, "A Genial Philosopher" which at
tempts to set forth the so-cal1ed beneficial results of
beer drinking for the mother.
"Have I ever told you" remarks the philosopher "how
my wife started beer drinking up at our house? She and the new
baby hadn't been in the best of health. In fact, we were all more
or less run down. The little woman became imbued with the
idea that we must have bottled beer and drink it with Our meals"
And baby, too" queried Huston. well, obviously the boy
would participate in its benefits" replied Morgan.
And yet no less an authority than the Chicago

mother; SHr0i0ing children are disposed 10 nenrosis, alcoholic
and drug habits and criminal tendencies.
The American home is in danger! 1t is on the
defensive! The brewers invasion Of it must be re-
pulsed. That this is no false alarm is seen in the
following statement Of Hugh F. Fox, secretary of the
United States Brewers Association, which statement
appears in THE Prosperity of the Brewing Industry
Probably twenty per cent of the beer output is now sold in
bottles. Every family within range of the delivery wagon now
has its ice box and can keep beer at a palatab1e temperature,
and, when once a family tries the experiment and finds how
pleasant and harmless it is, the habit is almost sure to become
fixed.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

seems to have had the spirit Of prophecy, and the car
OF Russia is fulfilling that prophecy.
Everybody knows that Russia is a nation gov
erned by the severest autocracy. Everybody knows,
further, that it has been held up as a type of ignor-
ance, oppression and s%tolidity. But it has led the ma
tons Of the earth in a~bolishing the worst foe Of hui
man progress.
All of this being true, it would seem that those
nations which are enlightened and whose govern
ments are governments Of the people, should be slow,
hereafter, to cast aspersions on the name Of Russia.
America has dealt with the liquor problem for gen
erations. There has been remarkable progress, it is
true, but we are still some distance from the goal Of
nationwide Prohibition. That goal will come in
time, but the fact that this, the most enlightened and
Christian nation of the earth, still clings to its bottle,
and not only to the bottle but to the bottles revenue,
is passing strange.
The passing of Russia into the Prohibition col
umn is bound to have a great effect on the other ma
tons Of the earth. Those who have been prophesying
financial ruin and commercial disaster as the result of
Prohibition are going to have to take back their as
sertiOns, and to admit that they are mistaken, or else
to stand branded as false prophets.
For Russia is showing to the world, even in the
short time in which Prohibition has been in effect,
that Prohibition does not kill a country, but, on the
contrary, makes it alive. The benefits received by the
Russian people under Prohibition seem almost in
credible.
What has resulted in the cars domain will re-
suit in any nation that adopts the same policy. It
comes to any community that accepts Prohibition. 1t
will spread over the entire world in the wake of the
prohibitory movement.
