A NATURAL HANDICAP.

The Life Extension institute is an
organization which is fighting disease
through publicity. Its membership
includes some of the greatest living
scientists and educators. These au.
thorities have put forth many rad
ical statements concerning alcohol.
They declare that the present antag-
onistic attitude of several European
monarchs towards this "deadening
drug" is fully warranted by scientific
evidence. alcohol" they say, is a
handicap for a nation at war. 1t is a
handicap for an individual in the strug-
gle for existence. This is not the
judgment of scientists alone. nor Of

COST OF JOHN BARLEYcoRN.

COSI OF JOHN bAhEE 1CORN.
The credit side of the account of a
city with John ~Barleycorn is very wide
ly advertised by the liquorites. They
endeavor to make the public believe
that there is no debit side and far too
few communities take the trouble to
investigate and discover what is paid
out of their treasures to Offset the Ii
cense money paid in by the saloons.
At the instigation of Governor Brum-
baugh of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia's
account with the liquor traffic has been
carefully figured up and given to the
public. 1t shows that John Barleycorn
costs the city each year more than
$4,000 900; that more than one-half of
the expense of the police department
of the great city is made necessary by
the liquor traffic; that the per cent of
expense of other departments of the
city government, due to alcohol is, sui
cides, rs per cent; home for the in
digent, 60 per cent; general hospital,
30 per cent; county prison, 80 per
cent; district attorneys Office, 80 per
cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, 80
per cent; juvenile court, so per cent.
Such figures certainly reflect upon
the common business sense of the mar
voters of Philadelphia, especially in
view of the statement in the report,
that "the sum of SO, 000, 900 Is far in
excess of the money paid into the
treasury for liquor licenses"
A similar problem in civic economy
should be presented to the voters of
every city which tolerates the liquor
traffic.

by dreams would not signify a lesser
interest In their affairs, but rather that
He had otherwise provided for their

~ OLOMON initiated his reign by
80 making a great feast for his
~ people at Gideon. The account
tells that he offered a thousand
burnt offerings unto the Lord. This
does not signify that the animals were
burned entire, but that certain por-
lions, particularly the fat, were burn
ed as an offering to the Lord, while
the food portions became the basis of
the feast. We a see the wisdom of
such a general acknowledgment of
God and His inauguration of a new
king; and the feast signifed the kings
good will and his desire to make his
reign one of blessing to the people.
The Divine ordering of the matter was
recognized by the Israelites, who per-
ceived that all things were to be done
with an eye to Gods approval.
Are Dreams Significant
During this feast, which probably
lasted several days, King Solomon had
the wonderful dream narrated in our
lesson. That 1t was supernatural there
can be no doubt. Similarly God re-
vealed Himself to others in ancient
times, and especially to His people
Israel, who had come into covenant re-
lationship with Him at Mount Sinai
through Moses. Bnt He was not In
covenant relationship with the people
of other nations, who were, we read,
strangers, foreigners, outcasts-not In
covenant relationship with God.
Although the Christian Church is Pc
culiarly in relationship with God, and
In a much closer relationship than that

Suspicious Characters.

mia a number of young ministers, pro-
ceeding to religious conference in
Philadelphia, boarded coach where
in there was dilapidated young
woman smelling of beer. For some
time the young men in black garb con-
versed gravely on conference affairs,
while the berry young woman nodded
in her corner.
The train approached long tunnel.
The young woman reused herself. She
pinned back lazily long strand of
hair that had fallen on her shoulder,
and fixed her gaze upon the ministers,
Then she produced from her basket a
huge bread knife. Making a few un-
steady lunges in the air with this i'm
plement, size addressed the reverend
gentlemen thus:
Don't none of you boys try no
tricks on me in the tunnel, or, mark

But the man put them on just the

started down the street. Everything
went fine. He could see everything In
sight with clearness and distinction.
He turned into Winter street and
threaded his way through the throng.
Suddenly something seemed to go
wrong. Standing out from the rest Of
the crowd appeared an enormous man.
He lowered high above everyone else
on the street. The man again focused
his gaze, thinking it was trick of
fancy. But there doomed the big man,
feet above him. With a startled ex-
clamation he jumped to the conclusion
that his glasses were the trouble. He
snatched them from his nose and with
his naked eyes looked again.
There he saw the giant man still APP
proaching-on high stills and bearing
placards of invitation from his en-

ITALY UNDER MANY RULERS
Fertile Land, During the Centuries,
Has Been Prize Worth the Ex-
penditure of Blood.

Charlemagne tackled Italy to his un-
wieldy empire and left it to his weak
ling son, Lothaire, by the treaty of
Verdun in S43. The peninsula en-
joyed a measure of peace for some
years, then petty counts and dukes
began a series of internecine wars
which continued until Ohio the Great
marched into Rome in 962 and forced
the pope to place the imperial crown
of gold on his head. That was the
beginning of the Germanic holy Ro-
man empire. 1t established a prece-
dent for the German emperors, and
they continued bringing their armies
across the Alps to feast on Italy's
plenty until Conradin, the last of the
Hohenstaufens, was defeated in 1868.
The Hapsburgs then took up the pur-
suit of Italy.
The feudal system never gained q
firm hold In Italy, which lightened
the labor of Germanic commerce. In
1885 the pope and the free CONNER
cial cities made common defense
against the emperor. They had more
or less success until Frederick Bar
barossa swept down on the land and
buried all opposition. The Lombardy
league collapsed in 1167, and Italy
became as much a German province
as Alsace is today. No German en-
peror in those days rested content I'M
til the pope had placed the imperial
crown on his head-first the silver
crown at AK la Chapelle, then the
iron crown of Lombardy, and then
the one at Rome.
