Why Salt Causes Thirst.

Salt has been described as a natural
element Of the blood In about the same
proportion as in the water of the
ocean. Under general conditions we
do not feel the existence Of salt in our
bodies because its effect is counteract-
ed by a due proportion of water.
When we eat an excessive amount
OF salt thirst is created by the demand
OF nature that we also take a proper
ionate mount of water and dilute
the salt to its proper relative amount.
ANY food that tends to absorb the
moisture of the body will cause thirst
FOR the same reasOn-that our physical
welfare requires a balanced quantity
OF water.

Between Man and Man.

Confucianism, the prevailing doc
trine of China, is neither a religion
nor a system of transcendental or cos
mic philosophy.
1t is an agnostic system of ethics and
a system of practical and purely tenn
poral common-sense philosophy which
sees no farther than this earth.
1t takes practically no notice what
ever of the question Of an after life,
OF eternity, Of future rewards and pun
ishments, of God.
1t teaches merely that one ought to
do good because it is mans duty to
do good Confucianism is entirely con
cerned with the relation between man

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY,

This is what the Home Life Insur-
ance company of New York has to say
about beer:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, it is the
most animalizing. 1t dulls the intel
lectual and moral and feeds the sens
ual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, it qualities for DELHI
crate and u%nprovoked crime. In this
respect it is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will COM
NIT murder only under the direct ex
element of liquor, a beer drlnker is
capable of doing it in cold blood.
Long observation has assured us that
a large proportion of murders DELHI
erately planned and executed, without
passion or malice. with no other mo-
tive than the acquisition of property
or money, often or trifing value, are
perpetrated by beer drinkers"

OF WHISKY.

Because he report of the internal
revenue commissioner shows an in
crease in the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor interests are using
it to bolster up their yet argument,
"Prohibition does not prohibit"
The reason for this increase is
found, not in the greater consumption
of whisky by the people of the United
States, but in various changing condi-
lions here and abroad. One of these
is set forth by the secretary Of the
treasury in the following statement:
notwithstanding the spread of pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months of the fiscal
year showed an increase over the cor
responding period of a year ago. This
is due in great measure to the effec.
tive enforcement of the internal rev.
enue tax on distilled spirits. It is
estimated that through the campaigns
of the treasury department against
undergauging, equalizipg and blockad-
Ing in distilleries, the revenue Of the
government has been increased by
probably $5,OO0,O0O annually"
A further explanation is that the
large quantity Of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take the
place of the British product now
barred from shipment because of the
European war, is counted in the Gin
creased consumption" During the
year ending June 80, 1915, exports
amounted to 1903. 900 gallons; during
the nine months, July, 1915, to March,
1916, 5.S50,O00 gallons were exported.
Then again there has beer a steady
decrease in the supply of imported
liquors due to difficulties of Transport
tation. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches in this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue of the
United States.
Other reasons might be s,ven but
these suffice to show how alert the
l%1quorites are to seize upon any appar-
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive at
hasty conclusions. 1t is not within
the province Of the internal revenue
to interpret its report or
to explain where or how the tax-paid
liquor is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the internal venue reports prove
that more liquor is sold under prohibit
ton than under license, we shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys;
we shall find them during the anti
campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more

~Jehangir'S tomb is one of the chief
historic attractions of Lahore. The
mausoleum is on the bank of the Raw
river, which is now crossed by Il fine
bridge instead of the bridge of boats
Of old. There are four towers at the
corners of the tomb. The mosaics and
the marble lacquer work are the most
beautiful features of the m|ausoleum.
There is an inscription in the Urdu

of India. But the world was larger
than JehanCir and his contemporaries
knew. and there was even more to In
dia itself than they realized. The
world of India, which he conquered,
did no remain vanquished, and much
of it fell away from his successors.
Nevertheless, the Mohammedan pre-
ponderance continued and the domes
and minarets of the mosques still
dwarf the temples of the jams and
other Hindu sects.
Anarkali's tomb is also one of the
sights Of Lahore. He was known as
"the Lion of Lahore" The dome build

coffin that contains Anarkali's re-
mains Is now occupied as a govern

The English section of Lahore is q
fine and spacious Anglo-Indian town,
with an abundance of shade trees,
wooded arcades and palms. The real
Lahore, the actual city of discomfort,
is something very different. Many of
the streets are as narrow as alleys,
with the balconies and roofs elbowing
n another. In these alleyways are
some unusually fine examples of clay
n wood carving, and of lattice and
lacquer work. 1t is here that the ma
tive life purls and seethes, and resents

d%iscoursing to a group of devout dis.
ciples-a real picture of native life.
The Moslem preponderance, historic
caIly, in Lahore, and possibly numeri-
cally' raises a question why it should
be the city of discomfort, since the
Alohammedans are mostly loyal and
are the malnstay of British rule in
lndla. But there is such a mixture of
native races and religions in Lahore
that no sect has any real preponder-
ahce. Apparently, discomfort CRAWL
tates there because of the medley.
