FUTURE OF THE oRINkER.

What's to become OF the drinker? ?
The railroads don't want him. From
the humblest job to the highest there
is no place for him. He Is not wanted
for any important position either civil
or military: he cannot be elected to
any high office within the gift of the
people; the banks do not want him:
the wholesaler does not want him; the
farmer has no use for him. Who
wants the drinker?
The penitentiary. the insane asylum.
the inebriate asylum. the almshouse
may receive him in due course OF time.
but who would aim to fit himself for
such future as these institutions rep
resent? What's to become OF the
drinker? It is a question to which the
youth OF today may well give some
serious thought-Union Signal

r. NJ. Wetzbarger.-Th Hague Tri-
bunal composed of the brightest minds
and yearning hearts of modern times
tried in vain to devise ways and means
to end warfare and its curses. Some
of our longheaded American savants
advocate the expenditure OF few mil
lion dollars in warships and equipage
the means of ending war. The wisest
heads on earth are working to their
utmost to find some way to stop the
present war which is devastating near
~ half the world. plunging It's inhabi-
tants into the darkest depths Of mis-
cry and woe and burdening future gen

debts without avail. Now the Y. M. c..

SCIENCE SPEAKS.

Science says that we are surround.
ed with myriads and myriads of invis-
ible foes ever on the alert to discov-
er the point of successful attack. and
we are furnished with a garrison of
unseen friends who ordinarily dis
charge the function of police and of
the department of health. but who in
the event of an Invasion mobilize with
extraordinary celebrity and precision.
A struggle ensues and the victory
goes to the stronger. Within the ken
OF science there is nothing which de
stroys the physical defenses as alco-
hol destroys them. just as there is
nothing which brings to the ground
the defenses of the spirit as drinking
does. and as there is nothing to equal
alcohol as n producer OF crime.-Rey.
