military authorities that today one

what 1t had never done before-sup.
plying free tobacco to the troops.
Only within comparatively recent
times, however. has this necessity
been ohicially recognized. Wellington
condemned the practice Of smoking a.
being "a species Of intoxication occa-
stoned by the fumes Of tobacco"
Omcial efforts to discourage the use
of tobacco were completely negatived
in the Crimean war. The privationa
suffered then by the troops resulted
in officers and men taking to the
panacea adopted by their French and
Turkish allies. and by its aid their
discomforts were 20 alleviated that
ever since the practice of smoking on
active service has been countenanced
by those In command.
In consequence tobacco has played
. notable and beneficial part in the

Chinese Chops"

American manufacturers who are
seeking to establish their goods in
China are warned in a recent federal
report not to minimize the importance
of the Chop" or trademark. in China.
The Chinese attach great importance
to the chop.
A striking example Of the unwilling
ness to accept a new chop is shown by
the experience of a Shanghai impor-
ter. He had developed some sale for
canned salmon among the Chinese and
had sold a certain brand Of American
salmon.
This brand had q label showing
salmon with the tail turned up. A
change was made In the label and the
salmon was depicted with its tail
turned down. When q new shipment
arrived with the chop showing a sal
mon with down-turned tail the import
er found he could not sell the con-
signment to the natives.

REASONS FOR ABSTINENCE,

It's hard to be a physical adviser
and keep off the subject of alcoholic
liquors when you realize that there
never can be anything like a high
average of physical well-being in a
country where a large part of the
male population insists on poisoning
itself regularly or periodically. l will
simply sum up a few of the reasons
strictly from the standpoint of the
physical trainer-why men should not
drink alcohol.
Alcohol is not a food; it is a drug.
1t Injuries the blood.
1t retards the digestion.
1t is the worst enemy of the brain
worker.
1t hardens the liver.
1t destroys the kidneys.
1t furnishes 40 support to the body.
1t is a depressant.
1t is a most destructive agent in the
state of health or of disease.
1t deadens the body and the senses.
1t affects the mental and moral side
of nature.
Alcohol users show death rate of 20
per cent greater than nonusers.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-06-12
BEER MNED.

After twenty-five years of practice
DR.. S. S. Lungren, a leading physician
and surgeon, has this to say about
beer: at is difficult to find any part
in the confirmed beer drinkers ma
chinery that is doing its work as it
should. This is why their life cords
snap off like glass rods when disease
or accident gives them a little blow.
Beer drinking shortens life. This is
not a mere opinion; 1t is a we'll
settled, recognized fact. Physicians
and insurance companies accept this
as unquestionably as any other undis-
puted fact of science. The great Eng.
fish physicians decide that the hearts
action is increased 13 per cent in its
efforts to throw off alcohol introduced
into the circulation. The result is
easily figured out. The natural pulse
beat is rs per minute. If we multiply
this by go an hour, and "a hours in a
day, and add 10 per cent, we find that
the heart has been compelled to do
an extra work during that time in
throwing off the burden of a few
drinks equal To 1876 tons lifted one foot
high.

True Cause of Disquiet.

Whence comes it that we have so
many complaints, each saying that
his occupation is a hindrance to him,
while notwithstanding his work is of
God, who hindereth no man? Whence
comes this inward reproof and sense
of guilt which torment and disquiet
you?. Dear children, know that it is
not your work which gives you this
disquiet. No; it is your want of or
der in fulfilling your work. If you
performed your work in the right
method, with a sole aim to God, and
not to yourselves, your own likes and
dislikes, nor sought your own gain or
pleasure, but only Gods glory, in
your work, it would be impossible that
it should grieve your conscience. 1t
is a shame for a man if he have not
done his work properly, but so imper-
fectly that he has to be rebuked for
it. For this is a SURE sign that his
works are not done in God, with a
view to his glory and the good of his
neighbor.-John Tauler.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-06-12
THE PRIME CAUSE.

Chicago's recently appointed NOR
ais commission will, it is said, study
the city's vice problem and find ways
and means to solve twill ~"investi-
gate causes and devise methods of pre-
vention." This is another blow for
the saloon. There can be no inves-
tigation into causes of vice and dis
ease which will not show that the
liquor traffic does more than anything
else to produce and foster all phases
of immortality.

Many seem W that only those

The Advocates Only Terms.
With the false idea that the penalty
for sin is eternal torment, many imag-
inc the Lord Jesus sitting dejectedly,
waiting for sinners to show the slight
est sign of repentance, when He would
accept them without terms or condi-
tons. Nothing could be further from
the Bible. There the %repentant sinner
desiring our Lord to make him accepta-
bic to the Father is promptly told that
he can have this privilege only on GER
tain fixed terms. See Matthew 1924.
Misinformed evangelists may, in the
name of the Lord, make different
terms; but they are thus far away
from the authorized Message of Gods
Word. Jesus, on the contrary, advised
some to sit down and count the cost.
duke 9:25-35; 1927 If these views
were generally accepted, Christians
would be of a better standard, more
acceptable to the Lord.-Matt. 7:t2, ID
