Excellent Work of Boy Scouts in New

On October l, 1915, all the boy

and heard detailed account Of the
life history of the Tussock moth, one
of our worst shade tree leaf feeders.

may be found in small white clusters
firmly attached to the bark of trees

scouts, so that the entire city might
be covered. For nearly three weeks
the boys secuted around gathering the
egg masses and then the territory Of
each troop was shifted so that the
work might be checked up, triple

during this checking period. Upwards

Selecting site for Home.

AS the prospective home builder
usually has general idea Of the type
of house to be erected, this preference
will have bearing upon the site to
be selected for 1t. For example, lot
totally unsuited for formal structure
might be an ideal setting for bunga-
low. Yet In a neighborhood Of old
fashioned homes the bungalow might
appear SO ineongruous as to depre-
ciate by contrast both its own value
and that Of its neighbors. In any
event, the land and the building should
produce harmonious effect. More
over, If lot is Of unusual shape or Is
not level, home may be SO designed
that these defects are converted into
advantages. The sources Of light,
shade and nearness of surrounding
buildings also have bearing on build
Ing plans.

REVENUE.


In the debate in the house on the
wartime prohibition amendment to the
agriculture appropriation bill, Con-
gresham Rainey of Illinois made a
spirited speech on the revenue feature
of the measure. He said:
"As a member of the ways and
means committee, in obtaining reve-
nue. for this government, have always
voted for the highest possible tax upon
alcoholic liquors. have supported to
the best of my ability at all times the
movement for the increase of the taxes
on alcoholic liquors of all kinds. But
as member of that committee, en-.
gagged for six years and even for a
longer period than that, in solving
these questions of revenue, think
am able to say that we can run this
great government without saloons and
we will find revenue somewhere with
which to carry on this republic without
continuing further this alliance with
saloons. / have seen whole communi-
ties, blasted for years by saloons,
emerge into prosperity when saloons
were banished from within their boun-
daries. expect to see prosperity still
prevail in all sections of these United
States when the saloons disappear,
prosperity even greater than we have
enjoyed in the past"

In the city of New York there Is a

toners who chose to call for II, but
the order of things has been changed,
and the bill of fare now carries this
announcement: "We have discOntin.
ued the wine list entirely. We are not
prohibitionists, but feel sure that, es-
pecially during the war, 1t would be
doing our country great service II
every person who is now selling liquor
could and would discontinue it. The
writing on the wall reads that at no
distant day the state or national gov
eminent will stop its sale entirely.
So why not quit now7"
In this deliverance there is little
comfort for the liquor advocate who
delights to maintain that prohibition
does not prohibit. Maybe it does not,
and maybe 1t never will, but there is
abundant proof that the steady agita-
ton of the prohibition question Is
creating dismay among the liquor
forces and is bringing this nation Of
ours to the dawning of a better day.

THE MAN IN MOST DANGER.

The breadwinner, according to Pro-
fessor Debove, a noted French scien-
fist, is in more danger of being in
jured by alcohol than the man In COM
Portable circumstances, because, with
less opportunity to know the truth. he
is dragged on by the bad example or
urging Of others until he tumbles into
the abyss of alcoholism and its accom-
panying miseries.
I'm my youth" he says, Il saw many
drunken people in the villages and sa-
looms on holidays. Today drunken
ness is less frequent, but alcoholism
has increased. 1t has become chronic.
This is worse form, for 1t results In
diseases Of the stomach, liver, kidneys,
heart, blood vessels and nervous sys-
tenn"
A long list Of hospital evidence is
cited to show the damage alcohol does
to the drinker, his family and his coun-
try. alcohol wounds" says Professor
Debove, "are very difficult to cure. The
alcohollzers liquor dealers - there
fore, are guilty Of veritable crime
against the country"

THE BIBLE AND WINE.

Ferrar Fenton, an eminent Oriental
scholar Of England, says that errors
made by the English translators Of the
Bible have much to do with the addic-
ton to alcoholic drinks OF the English
speaking people. He says correct
translation Of the word given frequent
ly In the Bible as wine" should be
fruit" For example, the Israelites
were promised land Of "corn and
fruit" Again in Deuteronomy 1917,
the people are told not to eat the 1.-THE

shows Enthusiastically that fruit is in
tended. In Numbers 28:7 the author
lied version says: I'm the holy place

word in the original signifying wine at
all; 1t is simply "a liquid, fluid" and
might be of milk, or oil, or water. SO
