WORSE THAN WASTED.

The liquor men are wasting food.
Last year the waste amounted to
1000, 100000 pounds of foodstuffs.
They are wasting labor. About
100000 men are engaged in the man
ufacture, sale and distribution Of
booze in brewerles, saloons and res
taurants, as brewers, bartenders and
waiters-at q time when every man
Is needed in some useful occupation
to help win the war.
They are wasting life. Bartenders,
brewery workers and walters In
saloons lose an average Of six years
Of life on account Of their occupa-
tions. If the 100000 men who make
and sell booze lose an average OF six
years of life, 1t makes total OF 1,SOO,-
600 years of life. The average man
works about 30 years-s0 that the
liquor traffic is using up the equiva-
lent Of 10000 men in each generation.
And this is too great a price for the
nation to pay.
For these reasons-() the waste of
food, (2) the waste Of labor, (3) the
waste of life-we have right to de-
mand that the liquor business be abol-
ished.-From Publicity Material Sent

prohibition in the organic law will
forever destroy the keystone In the
arch of true democracy" is the charge
by the opponents Of the federal
amendment. They deplore the fact
that a big, populous state like New
York should count for no more than
a small, sparsely settled state like
Nevada in the matter Of ratification of
the amendment. They 90 even far
ther and insist that such method of
procedure is undemocratic and un-
American. It Is certainly too late
in the history of the nation to make
such q claim. As has been logically
said. this method of amending the
Constitution not only Is not opposed
to the American system, 1t is inherent
in that system. If the principle in
volved in this method is wrong, If 1t Is
against public policy, the way to rem
edy ii is to amend article 8, which
provides this method of changing
the fundamental law, rather than to
denounce the provisions of the article
as inconsistent with American instl'
tutlonS.

palm leaves on Palm Sundays did
their usual thriving business. At first
the shells began arriving at intervals
OF twenty minutes, and the detona.

seemed louder than those of Saturday.
Their power to disturb the equanim-

less, the people refusing to be dis

given for the exception Of this pill
grlmage from the lunar calendar is
that the change was instituted after
the final expulsion Of the Crusaders
from the Holy Land as precaution
against any renewed attempts of the
Christians to wrest Jerusalem from
the Moslems.
Rival Pilgrims Meet.
From Chistmastide until Easter pill
grims from Greece, Russia, the Danu-
bian provinces, France, Italy, Spain
and all other orthodox Greek and Cath
Ollie communities used to come by tens
of thousands, all armed, and full OF
religious zeal and enthusiasm, to wor-
ship at the Tomb Of the Savior, the
Calvary, and all other sacred shrines
connected with the history Of his life
and teachings. Consequently the Mos
lem pilgrimage at the same season was
not an unnecessary preparedness.
Religious services were almost con-
tinuous day and night through Lent,
all mosques and Christian churches be-
ing open to the worshipers. The fast
Of Lent is rlgidly observed by the
Greek, Russian, Armenian, Syriac and
Coptic sects. Their diet is limited to
bread, vegetables, fruit and vegetable
oils, and on special days, only little
fish Is allowed. The Catholic commu-
nifty abstains from animal flesh diet,
but not from eggs, butter and milk.
This season is also important in a
commercial sense. The manufacture
OF all kinds of relics and souvenirs
occupies many Of the citizens of Jeru-
salem and Bethlehem during the rest
of the year. These are bought by the
pilgrims in great quantities, not only
for themselves, but also for those at
home who could not make the pilgrim
age. These devotees, who, as n rule,
live in the Holy Land from Christmas
to Easter, visiting all its sacred shrines
and hallOwed cities, bring much money
into the country, also merchandise for
sale, hence the failure of the pilgrim
visitors since the beginning of the de-
vastating European war has caused
unmitigated suffering in Palestine.
Early in the morning Of Palm Sun
day the patriarchs of the above men,
toned Christian sects give personally
genuine date-palm branch to any per-

ciating hierarch and accept 1t. This
beautiful ceremony takes place in the
Cathedral of the Holy Sepulcher In
celebration of the triumphal entry Of
the Savior into Jerusalem.

Save, save, save, These are words

be silenced. What Of the money, the
food, the man-power involved In the
production and use Of beer?
We know from government statistics
that the amount Of foOdstuifs used In
making beer was greater In 1917 than
In 1916 or 1915. We knew the worlds
food supply was low yet we allowed the
brewers to use more foodfstuffs last
year than in either Of the two pre-
ceding years.
A 30 per cent reduction In the grain
used In brewing has been ordered for
1918, but this still leaves an amount
Of food material to go into the brewery
watts, appalling under the clrcumstan'
ces.
Take the single item of barley. The
barley used by American breweries last
year, IL made into flour or sent into
France for bread, would have been
equal TO the normal bread ration Of g.
100000 people for a year. This we

The withdrawal of the British forces
along the battlefront in France was
long ago planned in the event of the
Germans attacking in great force
This announcement comes from the
British front and is described as a
mastery withdrawal, made possible
by gallant shock troops in the front
lines, who checked the advance OF the
Germans, while artillery, machine
gun and rifle fire worked appalling
slaughter among the masses OF Ger
man infantry as they were sent for
ward, thus enabling the main body
OF the British TO fall back deliberately
and without confusion.
This army, It is declared, has been
conserved, and up to the present very
few counter.attacks have been maze
against the Germans. Where the Brlt
ish have stormed the Germans newly
acquired position they have driven
them back.
But each mile of advance makes
the bringing up of supplies to the Ger
man artillery and infantry more and
more difficult, and unquestionably the
British strategy, as demonstrated
since the beginning of the great at
tack, is to let the enemy, so far as he
may, wear himself out againts pow

Both British and French forces,
where their lines meet, south OF st.
Quentin, are watching events with op-
timistic eyes.
The town Of Chauny, southwest OF
St Quentin, situated on the road to
Compiegne, the gateway to Paris, has
been occupied by the Germans, and
according to the Berlin official commu'
ncations everywhere between the
Somme and the Disc River the Ger
mans are pressing their advantage.
In addition to Chauny, the Germans
are claiming the capture OF both
Peronne and Ham and to have In
creased the number Of prisoners taken
to more than 10000, in addition to 900
guns and large stores OF war ma

Its source and note the man
ner in which IL Is commemorated In
Jerusalem. Particularly is this survey
Of interest at the present time as the
attention of the reading public has
been drawn TO the capture of the Holy
City and its occupation by the Brit
ish.
For many centuries the season Of
Lent has been very important period
Of the year In the Holy Land, and es-
pecially in the city of Jerusalem. At
this time the city Is filled, often to
overfowlng, with pilgrlms-Jews,
Christians and Moslems-from all
countries Of the world to worship at
It's sacred shrines.
The Holy City is essentially and
strictly religious every day in the year,
but particularly during Lent. To de-
clare oneself to be without any re-
ligious creed in Jerusalem is to invite
and gain dlstrust and thinly yelled con-
tempt, and an intangible ostracism
from all classes and creeds Of the citi-
Zens.
The Jewish pilgrims are the least In
numbers. Their chief point of sacred
interest is that portion Of the ancient
wall OF the Notifications of their form
cr temple on Mount Moriah, commonly
known as the "Wall of Wailing," or
Jewish Wailing Place" The Mount
Of Olives, the Tombs Of the Prophets,
and other minor landmarks Of bygone
ages when they owned the land are
objects Of veneratiOn. Added to these
is the rare opportunity of celebrating
the Passover among their Hebrew
brethren in Jerusalem.
Moslems From All the World.
