Failure Of the province of Quebec to
recruit more than COCO men, despite its
male population Of one million, has
sliarpened the desire for CONSUMPTION
in other provinces. At recent meet
ing here, Chief Justice Mathers, presi-
dent Of the Recruiting League. pre-
sented some striking figures and said
that the 100000 men required for ac-
tive service from Canada represented
13 per cent Of the total male popula-
ton of Canada, which is 3,S21,07O, ac-
cording to the last census.
Quebec had male population Of L.
011,247 at the last census Chief JUS
tive Mathers said. Thirteen per cent
equals 131,462. AS only 1897 have en-
listed, the province should enlist an
additional 125,525.
In Military District No. 10, in which
Winnipeg is located, the census shows
5S4,079 males, 10 per cent of which is
1880. Since this district has re-
cruited 63.196 men, it needs but 1874
to contribute its proportionate share.
Ontario province has recruited more
than $4,000 men.
A special committee is considering
six different methods whereby an en-
forced military service might be OBJ
tanned. They are:
Dominion wide conscription.
Conscription insofar as Canada is
concerned, exclusive Of Quebec.
Local option; CONSUMPTION by prov
inces.
Local option: CONSUMPTION by mum
cipalities.

Tea and Meat.
indianapolis News.)

\1ANA"AAeApotao A>S"oJ
A recent inquest held at Crewe, Eng
land, has started lively discussion
between users Of intoxicants and tee
totalers with the argument apparent
ly in favor Of the imbibers Of other
than soft drinks. The inquest was
held on a man who had made his
breakfast on lamb chops and tea,
which one would consider an altogeth-
err innocent repast. At midday he
took for his refreshment a fair portion
Of beef and a cup or SO Of tea. And
in the afternoon he dropped dead.
The coroner in summing up the
case advanced the suggestion that tea
was not the proper thing to drink with
meat" He even went further and
suggested "a glass of beer or bottle
of stout to meat" as a wholesome ad-
dition to the feast, and a physician
consulted in the case agreed with the
coroner. To this there was also added
the opinion of a noted councillor, a
Mr.. Pemberton. who remarked: We'll,
this is a warning to u.s."
DR.. Samuel Johnson, himself an in
VeteTdte tea drlnker, nevertheless con-
demned it's too lavish use by others,
and denounced it as "a barren super
fluffy. proper only to amuse the idle,
relax the studious and dilute the meal.
AS it neither exhilarates the heart nor
stimulates the palate 1t is commonly
an entertainment merely nominal. a
pretense, for assembling to prattle. for
interrupting business or diversifying
idleness"
