NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH

Tt is not altogether for purely eco- homie reasons that industrial con cerns oppose drinking on the part of their employees" says President Gib- son of the Chicago Pressed Steel com pany. The average employer is greatly interested in the welfare of his work-people. He wants to see them prosperous and happy. He also wants to get the largest possible re- turns in his business and there is no conflict between these two aims. Whatever improves the physical, men tai and moral conditions of workmen also increases their efficiency and so brings in greater profits to the em- ployer."

ANTl-LIQUOR SENTIMENT.

In an article showing that the greatest nations in Europe are against alcohol" the Philadelphia North Amer ican has this to say about Germany:
 Is it not disconcerting to find that the great anti-alcohol movement which is sweeping Europe had it's be- ginning in the land of the 14,000 brew cries? A scientific pamphlet written in 1886 by Professor van Bunge, was the start of campaign which has pro- duced an anti-liquor congress in every advanced country on the continent, and biennial international congress that draws delegates from nearly ev- cry considerable nation
 The growth of sentiment against the evil has been almost incredible In the year 1893 there was only one known total abstainer of prominence in the German empire, a noted Ham, burg engineer. In 1897 leading phy- sician undertook to urge abstinence upon members of his profession, and after months of work found himself with total of nine signatures; but ten years later 800 physicians had joined
 Tt was German university. that of Berlin, which first established scien- tific course on the alcohol evil, in 1906. It was the German kaiser who few years ago declared himself an abstain er and enjoined the army and navy to follow his example. It is a noted German army physician who has de- clared: It must be considered incom- patible with the honor of city or government to allow the activities of poison factories, such as breweries and distilleries.' There is a strong anti-liquor movement among the Socialists. For more than three years the sale of beer in the great Krupp works has been for bidden. That and other big industries steel works, shipyards and mines supply tea free to their workers or milk at cost, and forbid the sale of beer. At one huge plant the con- sumption of beer fell from 147 ,000 bar rels in 1909 to 14, 300 barrels in 1911. The Berlin railways have forbidden tho use of beer during working hours, and similar action has been taken by the government railways of Baden and Alsace-Loraine, where anti-alcohol placards are posted in all the sta tions."
