ILLINOIS GOING DRY.

Illinois had twenty-eight prohibit
ton counties. when the women we're
asked to assist in destroying the sa-
loon by their votes. They responded
by driving them out of twenty-three
additional counties at the first cleo
ton. Four more counties were made
dry this year, making total of fifty
five. Seventy county seats are dry;
1924 out of 1870 townships in the
state have outlawed the saloon. Not
one foot of dry territory has been
changed to wet during the two years
from May 1, 1918, to May 1, 1915.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR Pow.
ERTX7

EMIL
So long as the belief prevailed that
poverty was merely symptom of in
herent viciousness and thing for
which the pauper was directly and
solely responsible, the public took
though of Adams sin, shrugged its
shoulders, and resignedly left the indi-
vidual to face his penalty, tempering
the rigor of sins discipline the while
with the mercy of penitentiaries, re-
formatories, jails, poor-houses, charity
and training-school hospitals. But one
scientific investigation after another
conclusively showed that children
born in poverty are peculiarly subject
to early death or to incurable defects
of mind and body, that large proper
ton of all apprehended criminals are
boys and girls whose criminality is
directly traceable to their adverse eco
nomic environment, that large ma
jority of the unemployed are idle be-
cause there is no work for them to
do, then public opinion began to per-
ceive that to penalize the poor for
their poverty was to impair the pro-
ductive power of the nation and thus
to transfer the penalty to the nation
itself. Poverty came to be regarded
not so much as an indictment of the
individual, but rather as prima facie
evidence that as a people we are not
making the most intelligent use Of our
resources, that there was something
wrong with the management Of both
public and private busiress.-Har-

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.

The political strength of liquor Is
furnished by the wine and beer drink.
ers. Whisky interests may be better
organized than the brewers and inter-
fere more actively In politics, but
the votes which make possible the
sale of intoyicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers, who do not al
ways vote as they drink. The beer
drinker generally will vote to protect
his habit, because he Is far from con
WINGED Of its malignancy.-From Edi-
torial in Chicago Tribune.
And that is why the w. G. T. u. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and it's malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti-
tute says in a published statement
"One-half- of one quart of beer Is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory,
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition of simple figures. This mar
cotic or deadening influence is first
eXerted on the higher reasoning pow
ers that control conduct, so that the
lower activities of the mind and nerv-
Gus system are for a time released.
The everyday, well-poised, self-eon-
trolled man goes to sleep, as it were,
and the primitive man temporarily
wakes up. Eventually, the nervous
system is narcotized, and the drinker
becomes sleepy. Muscular efficiency
is at first increased a little, and then
lowered, the total effect being loss
of working power"

Was ever picture so fair, recon-

but this is absolutely true to His
whole Interpretation of God and in
perfect keeping with His own spirit
and attitude toward mankind in His
dear efforts to reveal the mighty mira
Gle of love. But 1t is loves reward of
love-the Great Heart of hearts an
swering the cry of hearts afiame, the
hail of the Divine oversoul to souls
ennobled everywhere and always.
Far on this side the Judgment, it is
for us who pretend His spirit and
path to both sincerely follow Him
and emulate this magnanimous inter-
probation of service in our estimate of
fellow men and our appropriation
of the things they do for us. A Sena-
tors wife was surprised to find three
faded roses in an old broken pitcher
by the bedside of rich woman friend
who had been stricken with fatal
illness. Tears came to the invalid's
eyes as she kissed the withered flow
ers and said, Nothing that ever got
in all my life was greater, or finer, nor
sweeter than these roses, for they
were sent me by poor little Grip
pied girl whom came to know in my
drives; with her entire savings she
bought them and sent them in this
old pitcher, but l know her heart
came with them, and so l think 1t is
the greatest gift any friend on this

heaven, for she had caught some of
the enlargement of the spirit and ap-
pretended something of the breadth
and length and height and depth of
the love Of Christ, and she had been
filled with the "fulness of God"
This personal Interpretation of SER
vices rendered by us to even the
meanest and weakest in His kingdom
serves also to suggest the holy identi-
ty of the Lord with His people, as is
taught so strikingly in the parable Of
the vine and the branches-as if He
urged Serve men and you serve Me;
harm them and you hurt Me=-4touch a
hair of his head, and take care!--but
lift a brave finger in his behalf, and
behold, My kingdom is laid at your
feet!" This is called the age of ma
terial. but with Christ it is the per-
sonnet that counts most in all ages.
And in what other attitude could He
be so supremely great and good and
so much the Redeemer that He is as
in that of brother and champion and
friend to "all that labor and are heavy
laden?"
An old sailorman who had left his
savings in the Seamen's Bank in Wall
street for years was greatly overjoyed
to find all of it there and as much
more besides from accumulated inter

treasure in heaven, where neither
