ITO the Club Women of Americaa:
I'VE are asked to assist in the
American Red Cross drive to raise
100000. zoo for war relief work. We
must do so.
The Red Cross must have this
money. 1t needs 1t because there Is
a nation in need Of relief which has
stood as a buffer between the Eng
lish-speaking people and their arch
enemy-a nation to whom we owe
blood debt, whose women have
given everything and whose little
children have been starved for over
three long years.
I'VE need 1t for our soldiers and
when we say our soldiers. we mean
not only American men, but our
English, our Canadian and all our
allied brothers.
"We need 1t because we have a
great military duty to perform, both
we must build up what the Hun
has torn down.
by caring for the children OF
France, we increase the morale. and
fighting spirit in the trenches. The
better these men fight. ( the fewer
of our boys as well as other moth
ers' boys will be sacrificed.
I'VE need 1t for the great can
faans ubose service is SO unremit-
ting and so necessary.
I'VE need it to help in that great
anti-tuberculosis campaign in which
France has begged our cooperation
that we may save not only the chill
dren of a nation but our own fight
ing men
I'VE may sacrifice our boys in ac-
ton, but we cannot endure that
they shall die of something We may
prevent.

CHILDREN PROFIT BY DECREASE
In HOURS OE DRINK TRADE.

The children in Great Britain have
gained, even under such measures Of
restriction Of the liquor traffic as have
been introduced by the board Of con-
troll. A recent book written by Henry
Carter, member of the board. states
that the number Of deaths Of infants
from everything decreased by 40 per
cent in 1915 as compared with 1914.
The number steadily declined with the
decrease in arrests for drunkenness.
Cases of cruelty and neglect Of chill
dren due to drunkenness dealt with by
the National Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children decreased
from 400 per cent in 1914-15 to BIZ
per cent in 1916-17. With it went q
general Improvement in the homes
and nutrition of children, better rest

Such conditions were, of course, detri-

has won for her children merely by
diminishing the hours Of the drink

BEER NOT ArEMPERANcE DRINK

Alcohol is alcohol, either in whisky
or beer. It is nonsense to claim that
beer is a hygienic drink. 1t is drunk
chiefly for it's alcoholic effect, and IL
the alcoholic effect is produced, the
danger Of alcohol exists. Any one who
doubts that beer can produce a certain
form Of intoxication need only visit
the saloon and watch the beer-drinker
in various stages of befuddlement or
excitement. If beer does not intoxis
cate or produce any alcoholic effect,
what becomes of the "racial craving
of stimulants" which 1t is said to sat-
isfy? Furthermore, heavy beer-drink.
ing, as In the case of brewery em-
ployees, adds the danger of excessive
fluid intake, entirely apart from alc0-
hol. The heavy mortality Of brewery
employees is sufficient evidence that
beer, SO far as its effect ON masses Of
men is concerned, is not hygienic
drink.-Eugene Lyman fisk, M. D., in
Atlantic Monthly.

A CATHOLIC PASTORS OPINION
OF THE SALOON.

"The modern American saloon. with
Its gambling den, wine room, and back
parlors, Is nothing more or less than
living part of hell. It is the hang
out for all loafers, toughs, sapheads,
and would-be sports in town. The 20.
liceman in every town will tell you
that murders, suicides, robbe-ies,
thefts. and all crimes, originate at the
saloon bar, and any lawyer can tell you
that the bought perjurers who crowd
courts and make justice Impossible, can
be secured from any nearby saloon.
The upto-date barroom, whether we
like to admit it or not, saps the vitality
of our manhood, steals the blood mon
ey from the laboring man, starves the
innocent, drives women to despair,
makes beasts out of men. and sends
countless souls to eternal perdition."--
Father Henry Mcclure, Joliet, Ill.
