Rushing the Growler

They watched the man who said he
couldn't pay his rent. In one day he
carried 11s"growlers of beer" from a
saloon to the home where his ragged
and hungry family sat in fireless
and foodless kitchen.
There are places in Detroit where
a-gallon of beer is sold for 10 cents.
This low price is meant to promote
the trade known as rushing the
growler," and it does.
A hospital manager is my author
ity for saying that rs per cent of his
most urgent want" cases have buck
cts of beer and cheap whiskey at the
bottom of them.
Little children without clothes,
without food and without fire cannot
compel maudlin father to stop ex-
changing his dimes for GROWERS Of
beer. But isn't a great, strong city,
founded by a man who wouldn't cheat
an Indian, powerful enough to stop
this GROWER traffic?
He would be a stupid farmer who
should put little chickens in one end
of a coop when he saw a pair of
blood-sucking weasels killing them at
the other end. But he wouldn't stop
raising chickens longer than was nee
essahy to seize a club and go after
the varmint.-Michigan Catholic.

Newfoundland Adopts Prohibition

On November A, 1915, the province
of Newfoundland voted for Prohibi-
ton for that country. The vote was
24,965 for prohibition to 1884
against. The law went into effect
January /, 1861 From the earliest
times, the people had tried out the Ii
cense and restrictive policies but
they failed in every respect. They
therefore, voted overwhelmingly for
the national dry policy. There are
more than $4,000 square miles of ter
ritory involved.

Allies Closing In

One-half of the population living
ir wet territory lives in four states.
One-sixth of it lives in six cities. One
half the saloons in the United States
are in IA cities. In a list of SO
states there are fewer saloons south
Of the Mason and Dixon line than in
the city Of Chicago. There are about
1900 counties in the United States
and over 1900 are now dry. The sa-
loon is being crowded into a corner,
and it will be killed in that corner.

A mother should seek to well-equip

the duty of the mother becomes, first
of ALL in my judgment, the duty of
the organizer. I am not very good at

Since the foundation of the world
there have been good mothers and

it will be to the end.
My heartiest sympathies are with
every movement for the education of
mothers to the highest standard of
motherhood. l believe each individu-
al woman has got to think and work
cut for herself the great problem of
how to do her duty to her children.
The suggestions here will bring
forth good or bad fruit according to

If we begin by intelligent learning
how to eat and then develop physically
as we should develop, and dress prop

not eradicate the germs of evil Dis
case is crime, every criminal should
be treated as a diseased person. I
do not believe in punishment but in
correction. See the stupidity of our
laws. We allow the diseased, criminal
and irresponsible classes among lis to
marry and propagate.
We say it is interfering with indi.

There would be some common sense
in demanding that the man who is
going to marry should make at least
the guarantee afforded by health to
the state that his children will not

generally come upon the public for
support. All criminals should be
treated as diseased persons. They
should be given the means for ply

proper food. l believe two-thirds of
the criminals could be fed into de-
cency..
Our duty as mothers, is not to go
around with an electric search-1ight
seeking out the faults of others only
to rail out at them and then have
them to take care of themselves, but
to search in kindly, gentle, christian
spirit for the good in human nature
and then with tender, motherly mo-

The Mothers Congress is different
from the church in that it does not
extend charity but helps people less
fortunate to help themselves, helps
them to become self-respecting and
self-helpful.
1he women here today who are
anxious to do the best for their child
rem do not represent the people who
need the most help from Mothers

There are people who do need such

Scientific cooking, the chemistry of
