WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union)

WHO Is REsPoNsIBLE7
Judge Pollock of North Dakota, pro-
nouncing sentence upon man con-
demned to spend the remainder of his
natural life in the state penitentiary,
made scathing denunciation Of the
liquor traffic. The man had murdered
his wife while under the influence of
liquor procured across the river in
Moorhead, MINI.
II do not know, and under the pres
ent state of our law never want to
know" said the Judge, "who sold you
the liquor under the influence of which
you committed this unnatural crime.
Let that mans conscience bring such
remorse that its energizing power will
never let go, until the largest possible
reparation be made. Whoever he was,
and wherever he may be at this sad
moment; whether his place Of busi-
ness is in the welladorned and highly
decorated room where tempting viands
appeal to the taste, where sweet music
delights the ear and lulls to sleep the
reasoning faculties; or whether it was
in the lowest, dirtiest, man-abandoned,
God-forsaken and death-dealing char
mel house of despair, where only
abides the thoughtless and sullen
greed for gain, it matters not; be-
fore the bar of God, If not of man,
he stands alike with you morally re-
sponsible for this horrible crime. The
trouble is he is not here with you to
receive merited punishment.
IF your partner in this offense were
here he would plead by way of de-
fense that he did not by fraud, con-
trive or force occasion your drunken
ness-a plea which would have to be
sustained. An enlightened and long
suffering public will some day, and
that day very soon, rise in the majesty
of its power, and demand that the leg
islature strike out the words by fraud,
contrivance or force and for the pur-
pose of causing him to commit any
crime and boldly declare that he who
in any manner sells intoxicating
liquors to another, under the influence
of which a crime, whether of murder
or of some lesser offense is commit
ted, is equally guilty as principal in
any such crime committed

DR.. c. W. Saleeby, F. R. s. E., the not
ed English medical authority, in an
article in the Daily Chronicle Of Man
chester, England. He deprecates the
worse than waste in raising barley to
make beer and whisky, and turning
food material into poison. He quotes
the words of the czar of Russia to his
minister of finance, 'It is not meet
that the welfare of the exchequer
should be dependent upon the ruin Of
the spiritual and productive energies
of numbers of my loyal subjects" and
urges his fellow-countrymen "in this

stead of whisky; bread instead of beer;
life instead of DEATH" adding that
never, perhaps, was there a more
fateful choice for the English nation"

arrested as drunk and disorderly

would be 100000; In Philadelphia, 300.-

Topeka has a high percentage of
drunkenness will not hold water-or
any other kind of liquid.
In this connection It may be noted
that Topeka, with a population of A.

their pride and self-respect If they are
obliged to live in filthy surroundings,
amidst which it Is impossible for them
to clean themselves, their uniforms
and equipment. The conditions in
Flanders throughout the winter have
been about as bad as any troops have
ever had to face. The army medical
corps took the problem in hand and
has shown remarkable skill and in
genuity in its solution.
Bath Every Ten Days.
Scattered over northern France and
Flanders are many factories for MAX
ing beet sugar and beer. These pos
sess enormous watts such as most of
us are familiar with in breweries at
home. AS their legitimate occupation,
in the case Of those situated close to
the firing line. is now gone. they
have been utilized for the purpose of
washing the British army.
This experiment of cleaning every
man in an army several hundreds of
thousands strong once in every ten
days has never been tried before in
war. Yet SO complete is the organi-
zation that. except under exceptional
circumstances, every man and officer
is sure of his hot bath every ten days.
A battalion comes OF duty and
marches to rest in its billets. the men
and their uniforms covered with mud.
Above all, 1t is necessary to change
their shirts and underclothes.
Let 1t not be supposed that the only
enemy our men have to face Is found
in the trenches. There Is another,
who carries on horrible nerve-rack-
ing form Of guerilla warfare in closer
proximity to you after a few days
spent in the mud.
His pertinacity and vitality is
amazing. He requires ten times as
much killing as any German. but our
medical service has proved equal to
the task of circumventing his wiles.
The battalion is paraded and marched
to the nearest bath. Often this is un-
der shell fire, and the shrapnel is
screaming overhead. But no one heeds
such trifies as these. Each man strips
and throws his shirts, underclothes,
and socks into heap. His uniform
he takes on, and ties to it his tin iden-
