MATERIAL FORCE OF WEALTH
Modern Man Desires Millions Chiefly
for the Distinction Which Il
oonfers Upon Him.

Many factors 60 toward lowering
the tone of this mankind whence
genius should spring as a mailman
or god. One is our intense con-
seriousness of money. The discovery
of money is recent, for the rich men
of the Bible wanted flocks and lands
only so that they might eat well,
drink we'll, and wed fair women the
lust of Ahab was rather unusual. At
other times, in Babylon, in Venice,
wealth brought material benefits
first, later only distinction. Only
with the rise of the middle class did
wealth become the greatest force, for
it alone could make the middle class
equal with their fellows. As they
could claim no lineage, they natural
ly came to want to claim themselves
better than their kind-the mer-
chant princes of the Victorian
period, their sideboards, barouches
and sarcophagi; the American mill
lionaires with their demon cars,
their tz-Carlton dinners, their in
vestments in old masters (guaran-
teed moldy), are natural conse-
quences. Whereas in the seventeenth
century you could impress if you
were a duke, in the twentieth CEN
fury if you become a millionaire you
can stun. And you can stun only
because everybody admires you fol-
being millionaire, because, as Miss
Marion Ashworth perfectly says,
"there are people whom the mention
of great fortunes always makes SOL
emn."-Harper's.

TEMPERANCE
AssNOteSa
HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS BRAIN.
ICohducted by the National Woman'a
Christian Temperance Union(


Alcohol is poison to all parts of
the body, but the part which alcohol
can damage most quickly and to the
greatest extent Is the delicate and
sensitive brain. And that is fuct.
The first effect of taking alcohol into
the system is felt by the brain; the
worst damage is done to the most deli
cate parts of the brain; and so II fol-
lows, that when n man takes u drink
of whisky or beer, or anything else
containing alcohol, 1t promptly mud
dies his thinking, weakens his judg-
ment, and loosens his control over his
actions. In other words, II quickly
steals from him what Is best I'm him
Ii reduces the force of highest brain
control which nature has given him,
which he has developed through ages,
and which marks him out us different
from brute animals.
Now, Of course, we don't mean to
say that when person takes drink
of anything containing alcohol he ut
once Is reduced to brute animal
but very few will dispute that drunk
en- person is not much better than n
brute animal. And the reason he has
been reduced to such n state by alco-
hol Is because, before he can take
enough Of It to kill his body, he has
had enough to paralyze his brain, es-
pecially the highest parts Of his brain.
1t has paralyzed his power to think, II
has paralyzed his power to judge, hns

tions. The amount Of alcohol which
makes n person drunken varies with
different people. Some can stand very
little, others great deal. However,
even very little, though II does not
show itself in drunkenness, has n
damaging effect on the brain. This is
what we want to poipt out particular
ly. Too many people think that II
they drink alcohol In moderation, such
for example, as three or four glasses
of beer a day, or one or two drinks
of whisky a day, they are not doing
themselves any harm at all. Very
many even think that they may safely
drink as long as they stop before get
ting drunk. These are very danger
Gus and mistaken ideas to have.
Drinking even in moderation has dang
ers for the brain and nerves, and
steady drinking is very bad.
One of the most terrible effects Of
alcohol on the nervous system is de-
lirium tremens-the I'D. T.'s." Now,
1t is not necessary to drink oneself
drunk to get the d. It's. Here Is what
n doctor who has handled an enormous
number Of alcoholic patients and who
has made lifelong study Of their
troubles, has to say: "Many men who
have never been intoxicated, but have
for years steadily taken alcohol. will,
after some severe accident, develop de-
lirium remens."-Ofiicial Bulletin, Bu-
reau Public Health Education, Depart
ment of Health, New York City.

FOOD CONTROLLER Of
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
= creased at All Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
1st Of January, Hon. w. ]. Hanna, Can
ada's Food Controller, says:--
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu-
rope Is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve or the part of the pro-
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part of all as consumers, can pos
sibly save the situation.
"France last year had crop be-
tween One-third and one-half that of
a normal year. Women did the work
of draught animals In determined
effort to make the impoverished soil
Of France produce every possible ounce
Of food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency Of essential sup
plies.
"The harvest in Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
ut Is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
foodstuff from Indln, Australia, New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food

export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration Is endeav.
oring to bring about reduction OF 20
per cent in home consumption Of wheat

600 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly five times that

portable surplus of wheat after allow
ance for normal home requirements.
The surplus today is not more than
100000 bushels. A reduction Of 20
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 100000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs in Europe
next year is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such Is the situation-grave beyond
