ON SAYING NO.

Mr.. Chauncey DepeW, the we'll
known statesman, Oh the eve OF
his eighty-third birthday, gave
some sound advice with regard to
health and longevity. In speak
ing Of the necessity of will power
as a requisite for health and hap
piness, he said: "You have the
remedy in full: Don't eat too
much, don't drink too much; say
no, cut it out, and take up the
knife at once. II you are not
willing to do this, you will be like
the myriads Of others who have
gone the way of all flesh" In
this formula is to be found the
essence of all happiness i'll this
world and in the next. Say no,

Founder of Christianity used the
same figure when He spoke Of the

may be enunciated as, will power.

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS VIEW,

I'VE should not discuss moderation
with a man." writes Doctor Matthaei,
a staff physician in the German army,
and i'll these words he voices the gen
eral opinion of German anti-alcohol-
lists. "The thing has long since been
settled by science. The use of mar
cotic poisons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline.
to take part in any festival occasion
where drink is used. One who makes
of a well, a slightly alcohol-sick per-
som. e., moderate drinker-should
be punished for it socially until we
can get leave to punish legally. Wills
of men made in an alcoholized or
slightly alcoholized state should be
contested. Drunkards are made by
hospital prescriptions of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legal
ly liable. 1t must be considered in
compatible with the honor of a city
or government to allow the activities
of poison factories, such as breweries
and d%istilleries."

Gus comment:

THINKING STRAIGHT.

Bird S. Coler in a recent adj
dress III New York, said: "The
thing that impresses me most
about st. Patrick and his time is
that he and the men whom he con-
verted thought straight"
This thought is so pregnant
with wisdom that it might well be
enlarged to the ample size Of a
volume. They thought straight.
That is the secret of success that
has distinguished every human
being who ever triumphed over
the narrowness of prejudice and
error. SURROUNDINGS, environ
men, traditions, custom, all are
component parts of the achieve
ments or the failures Of human
beings; but the power to differ
entiate, the ability to distinguish
right from wrong, truth from
falsehood; that is what has given
to the world and to the Church
their most eminent characters.
They thought straight.
Thinking straight means start
ing from a fixed point and ira
versing the road of truth and of
right without deviating OF swcrv-
ing or surrendering to any attrac-
ton until the goal of truth or OF
right has been attained. Column.
bus was surrounded by plausible
arguments that deferred others
from following out the conclu.
sions of science. Columbus
thought straight and he revealed
a new world. Washington had
every reason to submit to England
and thus to ensure his own wealth
from possible c~ontiscation. But tc
Washington's eyes freedom was
preferable to gilded captivity
He thought straight, and thus
crowned with freedom the lane

full to her principles.
Very few men can be credited
with thinking straight on ever,
subject. Prejudice, blindness
narroWness of vision, selfishness
and pride seem to assert them
selves i'll the life of a man. Hi
thoughts may be correct Oh on

there is question of religion or o
