Sobriety or Extinction.

II will not be Congressman Hobsons
fault if this country goes to ruin. He has
warned US repeatedly of the inevitable con-
sequences of our present evil course, and
once more in The Tribune last Sunday he
summed up the whole case in two SEN
fences: Nations must become sober or
perish. The human race must become
sober or become extinct"
Some of his easygoing fellow citizens
think It fortunate to be free from the
disasters that have overwhelmed the great
nations Of Europe, but Mr.. Hobson reminds
them that Gin the midst Of war Europe is
rapidly becoming dry" and that Gin con-
sequence new happiness, unknown be-
fore. is coming upon the people" Europe,
he is persuaded, might comfortably flourish
for an indefinite period at the present rate,
but America, drinking in peace, must in
fallibly degenerate and die. 1t is true
for instance. that Russia has lost many
men on the battlefield, but Russia has also
been making laws for the restriction of
the traffic in strong drink, and Mr.. Hobson
has satisfied himself that by these same
laws the nation "is saving more adult lives
than can possibly be killed off in war"
In our own unhappy land the case is
very different. Mr. Hobson estimates that
about two thousand Americans die Of drink
every day, and ne can see no possible way
of preventing our utter extinction except
prohibition. The liberties Of Greece and
Rome. he believes, were destroyed as a
consequence of "degeneracy created by
liquor" and unless we grow sober our
destruction is no less certain.
There is but one sign of weakness in
Nr. Hobson's valiant attack on the ma
ional evil. In a moment Of unwonted can
dor ne admits that "citizens may differ IN
Judgment as TO those political policies
which are best TO adopt in solving this
problem" and in doing so he lays himself
omen 20 those who hold that the problem
is solving itself. For it is a matter Of
common observation that the hard drink
ing communities are those TO whom alcohol
is novelty. Thus, when our american
Indians learned to drink they showed an
inclination 10 drink inordiDately, as do
almost ell savage races when alcoholic bcv-
erages are first introduced among them.
On the other hand, the Jews and the peo-
pie OF Southern Europe are moderate
drinkers, and all who have long experience
Of alcohol tend toward moderation.
70 has been contended, with show Of
probability, that all temperate races were
~ one time given 20 heavy drinking. their
resistant power being determined by the
duration and severity Of their past expe-
rionce Of alcohol, and that. as in the be-
ginning alcohol works great mischief, so

race Of moderate drinkers. So that if

Cuba'S National Coinage.

oFron The Precedence Journal
Up to this time Cuba has had no coins of
its own, rather remarkable condition of az
fairs for country that has maintained a
separate political existence for sixteen years.
The change from the old system 20 the use
of the new money of the republic has been
effected without causing ripple on the sur
face Of business, and good results are al
ready being noted. Formerly Spanish, French
United States and small quantities of other
moneys circulated Unfortunately. On near
ly every prominent corner IN Cuban cities,
and especially in Havana, in news, cigar and
lottery ticket stands were money changers
who did thriving business out of the wide
confusion Of values. Many abuses and IN
arose from this condition Of af-
fairs. Banks and business houses had TO
keep their accounts in three moneys Span.
ish, French and American and the values
of the various coins were constant causes Of
Misunderstanding and a dctriment 10 com
merce generally.
The new national coinage, Of which there
will be more than Sl2,OOONOO I'm circulation
by January /, consists Of gold. silver and
hlcheI CONS iHey are on an apsoIutc parity
with the money of the United States. The
gold coins ore 500, $40 and So pieces, and
artistic. The silver coins are the peso
OF 100 centavos (ccnts). the "cuarenta" or
iO-centavo piece; the "veinte' or 2O-centayo.
and the silver 10-centavo piece. There are
nickel 5-centayo, 2-centavo and 1-ccutayo
coins. This national currency is rapidly tax
ing the place of foreign coins.
Perhaps The now coinage will nave subtle
effect in promoting Cuban patriotism.

An Apple a Day.

Eat an apple day" advises Commits
sioner Dillon Of the State Department of
Foods and Markets. He doesn't give his
opinion whether this will keep the doctor
away, but he does declare that if all per
sons in New York and its environs fol-
low his advice they will consume 100000
items of wholesome, nutritious fruit daily,
and a great wastage which now seems
likely to overtakc the community next
spring will be averted. There are now in
storage, he says, according to government
reports. 100000 barrels Of apples more
than the total holdings year ago this
time, and the apples, being larger and
juicier than usual because of the rainy
summer, will not keep so well.
Mr.. Dillon says that by his system of
apple auctions he standardized prices this
summer and greatly helped the growers,
and incidentally those consumers who
brought fruit at his auctions. It is quite
possible that he did help the growers, while
reducing prices somewhat to retail dealers.
The sad fact remains that the price made
by retailers TO the ordinary family seems TO
be no different from the rate Of other
years. If retailers got lower prices
through his system they must have been
too few to affect the ordinary prices for
apples bought from the fruit store or the
corner grocery, or else the retailers must
be taking advantage of the lower prices to
make larger profits.
New York State apples are splendid
fruit-the best specimens are not exceled
by any apples in the world, if they are
equalled. They are, unfortunately, not as
popular as they ought to be, because a
decent apple from a fruit stand costs in
most instances as much as an orange
from Florida or California, and few fami-
lies can buy apples, either from a dealer
or through these auctions, by the barrel.
Eat an apple day" will be a more
popular slogan when this reported over
stocking brings the boarded fruit out of
the storehouses and places it within the
reach of consumers at lower prices.

WHY YOU Are NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreanful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected.
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Hmul-
sion Is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
