A STORY WITH A MORAL FOR
AMERICA

Mr.. Edwards, NJ. p, recently stated
Mt an assembly Of the Scottish Tenn
perance league, Glasgow, that at q
recruiting meeting he was approached
by a young man, who asked whether
government would look after the wives
and children of those who enlisted?
He was assured that government
would. He enlisted, and was passed
on In due course to the trenches,
where, after months Of good service,
he was wounded, and then returned
home on furlough. On his way back
to the front he called at the House Of
Commons and asked for Mr.. Edwards.
He refused to shake hands with me-"
said that gentleman. "and asked:
What have you done for our homes?
left happy home-1 came back to
find my wife a drunkard. my children
neglected, my home broken up. You
expect us to put our bodies between
you and your enemies, but you will
not put even trench between the
drink enemy and our homes"

War and Birth Rates.

In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical society, Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared that the United
Kingdom has lost by the fall In births
during the war more than 100000
potential lives. During the same period
he estimates that Germany has lost
100000 and Hungary 100000. The
great decline In the birth rate In the
central powers is ascribed to the fact
that the poorer classes In those coun-
tries have suffered greatly in health
and yigor on account Of the war, while
the corresponding classes In Great
Britain have actually enjoyed more ia
vorable conditions than in time Of
peace.-Scientiflc American.

PERlLs OF BEER DRINKING.

II is difficult to find beer drinker
forty years Of age with normal liver,
kidneys or heart. These vital organs,
from the excessive burden that is
thrown upon them, wear out prema-
turely. The beer drinker may have
an abundance Of flesh, but 1t is OF in
ferior quality. Surgeons do not care
to operate upon him. because the
chances OF recovery are minimized.
"Should the beer drinker be strick-

other febrile disease that taxes the
heart and kidneys, he would have but
three chances out Of ten to make

CANDY-MAKING SUP

In answer to complaints that while
consumers can get only two pounds Of
sugar at their grocery store, the con-
fectioner's windows next door are
filled with candies, Magnus Swenson,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin,
explained the attitude of the Admins
tfation toward the manufacture OF
candy.
Consumers have no knowledge of
the amount of sugar used by the con-
dictionary industry" he said. The
Bureau of Chemistry and clever con-
fectioners are constantly experiment
ang upon sugar saving formulas con-
tanning corn and maple syrup, honey
and invert sugar.
1--WE have cut their sugar allot-
ment to SO per cent of the amount
they used during corresponding
period last year. Before this ruling
went into effect confectioners used
only s per cent of the total sugar con-
sumption in the United States; now
they consume only per cent. This
averages one-half teaspoonful per per-
son per day.
