English Civil Service
Cost $500, 900, 900

: London.-The sum of $500,000,-
900 was expended in maintaining the
Civil Service in Great Britain for the
past year., says an official an
nouncement. This includes the Gums
spent on the Kings palaces. I'M
mense excesses of expenditure over
the amounts originally estimated are
accounted for by war bonuses, in
creased cost of labor and material,
and the higher cost of food.
In some items there are consider
able savings. Members of Parlia-
ment turned back their salaries TO
the amount of $4,000. There IS IL
saving in the estimates for prisons,
due to the decrease in the number of
prisoners. Reformatories and siTni-
lar institutions. however, cost more,
owing to a large number of juvenile
delinquents. There were consider
able savings in the diplomatic and
consular service due to the with
drawal of missions from enemy coun-
| tries.

'sThe will get a glimpse of

charming u n Z
Scandinavian actress, who has regis
tered such notable personal sue
cess in this comedy. Miss Hedman's s
stage life in this country has been
confined almost entirely to New York.
Five years ago she did not know a
word of English; to-day her knowl-
edge of the language is well-nigh
perfect, with just suspicion of for
eign accent which now and then
makes itself apparent. but which is
in itself an additional charm. On
her first trip to London Miss Hedman
set out to learn English by engaging
teacher who knew not a word of
Swedish. But they both knew French.
and by this means the actress gained
her proficiency of our tongue.
Miss Hedman's first appearance in
an English speaking part was in the
American production of the Bernstein
drama, "The Attack" which Charles
Frohman produced several years ago

There is a season just preceding
 spring: A wavering, wistful time when
 everything Stands on light tiptoe, poised for
 promising: As though a pcering soul, as yet en-
 sTrined In uncreated spaces, bent to find Some unguesscd cell within a finite
 mind; As though some spirit strange to
 human ways, Treading a pearly path between our days, Spied a new tint amid a sunset haze: Or as a serap1' s wing had swirled a
 song Where no tone grew before-superb
 and strong, Up wrcathing to the heights in echoes
 long. So do I stand atop a. passing year From the horizon to the willows near My root brown road, I sense 1t sweet
 and clear; And deep within me wells a dear
 desire, Which clings and leaps like saerificial
 fire From some gaunt hillock Or a pagan
 pyre: When I shall sail beyond those dream -
 less seas, Which store no scent of earthly buds
 and trees Give me, dear God, one beauty day
 from these,

WAER ON THE BRAIN.
New Britain, Conn.,,

New Britain, Conn.,,
 March s, 1918. To the Editor of the Herald:
 I desire to take issue with Caroline E. Buell., president W. C. T. U., East Haddam, Conn. Tn regard to g. com munication issued in Thursday nights Herald, concerning a speech on Pro- hibition delivered by the Rev. J. H. McMahon.
 Man is not slave to the use of intoxicants any more than he IS to the use of water. The abuse of both is regulated by mans intelligence One Is as necessary as the other for mans existence.
 From medical point of view, wl1is- key is an excellent stinulant indi- cated in all cases of Prohibition.
 Prohibition being a germ disease, and contiguous, is caused by the clos ing of the brain cells to light due to the excessive use of water. Whereas, water on the other hand in it's nat ural state by reason of it's extensive solvent powers must be more or less contaminated with foreign matter. Thus it becomes variously impreg- mated according to the nature of the strata through which it percolates, causing what Is commonly called water on the brain.
 Alcohol destroys the germs and ai- lows the brain cells to open and brings them back to their normal state. makes the brain more active and broa ders the mind to realize that we are at war for liberty and jus tice, to save our country and fellow man as well as ourselves.
 Is it not time that our government adopted some mode of legislation to destroy this Prohibition propaganda until after the war?
 If we should do away with liquor because some few abuse 1t, then we must do away with many of our most needed medicines and drugs because they also are abused.
 Many business men who get results need a stirnulant to clear their raln They do not use water for this pur- pose Water is not a stimutant; that fact cannot be disputed. Therefore, it is not possible for man to De Prohi ibitionist and remain normal In Oklahoma the law forblds the use of wine for sacramental purposes In Oregon a citizen was sent to Jali because he made wine for family use at his table.
