DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
THE BEER DRINKER GETS MORE
ALCOHOL.

The belief that beer should not
come under the condemnation so fire.
quently meted out to whisky is trace
able to the common impression that
beer drinkers consume much less al
cohol than whisky drinkers. But
those who believe this overlook the
fact that the man who drinks four
per cent beer usually takes ten times
as much as man who takes forty
per cent whisky. The United States
Internal Revenue Commissioner, on
page 675 Of the statistical abstract,
gives the per capita consumption of
distilled spirits and beer in 1914 and
their respective alcoholic contents, as
follows:
Gallons Gallons of
Used. Alcohol.
Distilled spirits -. LAC O.5S4
Malt liquors = ..2O.5l 0.820
1t will be seen from this that the
per capita consumption of alcohol by
beer drinkers in 1914 was forty per
cent greater than that by whisky
drinkers.
Professor Kraepelin, of the Univer-
sity of Munich, says that at one ban
quet Of professional men in Berlin
there was consumed during the even
ing, by four thousand persons, 1882
bottles Of wine, 4,646 pints Of beer,
and 800 bottles of cognac. Profess
sor Kraepelin has also stated that
10000 persons become victims. of al
cohol each year in Germany, and that
one-fifth of all mental disorders are
attributable to alcoholic liquors.
Nor must it be thought that the
less concentration of alcohol in beer
makes that beverage less dangerous.
During recent court trial in Chi
cago a medical witness was asked:
Does the rate or degree of oxida-
ton depend upon the concentration
of alcohol" He answered: Not at
all on the concentration" To the
further question, Would the stimu-
liant and narcotic action Of As drops
of alcohol be greater or less if given
in 20 per cent or 80 per cent dilu-
tion?" 1T would be indstinguish-
able" he answered, Just as the mar
| cotic and Stimulant effect of the same
dose of alcohol is indistinguishable
whether it is given in the form of
whisky or in the form of beer

WAVING THE FLAG.

Nothing Is more common these
days than unfurling the Stars and
Stripes to the breezes OF high
heaven and waving it vigorously.
This is a perfectly harmless and
at the same time a praiseworthy
pastime. Since this country Of
prosperity and privilege has been
drawn into the seething vortex Of
world destruction every man is
anxious to display his loyalty and
his patriotic sentiments by a Wig
orous waving of Old Glory. This
enthusiastic and gymnastic eXer-
else is a perfectly safe proceeding.
Old Glory was born into this
world in the early days Of the
American Revolution. It's object
was to contend for mastery in the
bloody arena Of revolution with
the Union Jack. The struggle was
waged with vigor and fury for
seven long years. Old Glory,
though of humble parentage, sue
cceded in humbling the great ban
ner Of the British Empire. Thus
from the day of its birth down to-
the present moment the Stars and
Stripes have repeated victory af-
ter victory until, having complet-
ed the circle Of triulmphs, the
world today beholds these ancient
enemies, Old Glory and the Union
Jack, in loving embrace united in
a common cause. :.
it were we'll to remember that
the flag as such is an innocent
thing: the waving thereof, an in
nocent diversion. But back OF this
patriotic display is "a principle
founded upon eternal justice.
Men live by principles, good or
bad. The motives Of conduct that
actIate d nation are but the res
Election of those motives which stir
and impel the individual to action.
For this reason the flag is taken
out Of the class of mere objects:
it becomes personifed; it is vital
lied with an active life and breath
1t arises before the gaze of the
whole nation and speaks in clari-
on tones: Il am that spirit that
was born when your fathers kim
died the fires of righteous reNohl-
ton. Your sires demanded liber-
| ty and equality for themselves
and their children and | was chos-
Ell their champion. BY my
strength and might | forced Corn
wallis and Burgoyne to lower
their alien ensign; at New Orleans
with 'Old Hickory [ humbled the
veterans of Waterloo; countless
Indian uprisings were quelIed by
my glare; twice did Mexico bow
in the dust before me, once did
Spain acknowledge my suprem-
acy. When some Of our misguided
brothers sought to fasten upon me
the stigma Of slavery I ~agretful-
lly but firmly convinced them of
their error. Once more, today,

During the past few years local
governing bodies frequently have
raised the question as TO whether
. flags should be displayed on pub
Tic schools At the present time
there can be scarcely any doubt
of the loyalty of our Catholic in

and reverent devotion to the flag
means anything. Throughout the
Whole country the Stars and
Stripes may be seen floating in

lection over the, rising Catholic

On final analysis, the present
world conflict seems to be a war
OF ideas. as Sir Walter Raleigh
has recently said in a lecture. If
this be true. the ideas are not new
but very old, as old i'll fact as the
human race. Their root may be
traced to the period before Eden
when the rebel angel declared, |
will not serve.

thousand. The cause is attribut-
able to the war in Europe which
has withdrawn missionaries, kept
others at home, and diminished
the offerings. The number OF
Chinese native priests has IN
creased, however, so that at
present there are eight hundred
and twenty-eight.

because two or three years ago the

Napoleon, when he annexed Italy,

JUNE SALE BIGGEST
IN COMPANY'S HISTORY
Retail Sales Reported by Dealers
New Records Predicted For July.

During the month OF June. 1917,
all retail sales records of Willys-Ov-
erland. Inc. We're broken. The re
tail business amounted to approx
mately $11,15O,U00 for that period,
the greatest record Tor any month in
Willys-Overland history.
These figures are for the United
States alone and do not include
Canadian nor export sales, which are
also heavier than ever; nor has al
Iowance been made for the ten per
cent of the reports of sales that past
experiences prove are not sent INTO
the home office.
On Monday, June 25th, reports OF
the sale of ] ,O75 ears at retail reach
ed this company -$SSS,2O0 worth
a new high mark for 4 single days
Willys-Oyerland trading.
This proof, furnished by the accu-
rate headquarters in Toledo, demon
strates that the buying public OF the
United States has recovered its pOise
after the uncertainty Of events prior
20 and shortly after the declaration
Of hoStilities with Germany.
During the first two weeks in June
the daily sales averaged about $780,
900. During the week of June l1th
the retail sales climbed to daily
average of about S450,O00.
From June 18th to June 30th the
United States automobile buyers paid
more than half million dollars for
their WiIlys-Oyerland cars.
From one-fOurth to One-slNth OF
the total retail sales for June were
recorded in the eastern district, the
territory which seemed at first to be
most affected by the war scare"
Willys-OyerIand sales authorities
predict new retail records for July.
It is anticipated that 10000 Over
lands and WilIys-knights viii be
sold this month in this country, ap-
proXimately sixteen million dollars
worth.
Both May and June shipments OF
this year exceeded the shipments OF
last year.
