A CLOSE CALL.

Mrs. A. Road, wife of Pastor A.
Raod Of the Swedish Lutheranschurch
in this city, had close call from SER
ious illness and possibly death the
latter part of last week when she
accidentally mistook lysol for gar
gle medicine with the result that she
was badly burned about the mouth
and throat and has been seriously
i'll from the effects Of the poison.
Mrs. Road was feeling poorly dur
ing the night and had sore throat
and she arose in the night to get the
medicine for the gargle. She acci-
dentally got hold of the wrong bot
tie and before she discovered her mis-
take had badly burned her mouth and
throat, besides getting a small dose
of the poison into her system. She
has been quite i'll since that time but
is now considered out of all danger.

Where Soft Drinks orIoinated,

A Philadelphia writer says that
there is not much inspiration for po.
etry IN soda water.
Let 1t be remembered that another
first to be credited to Philadelphia
is for the manufacture. of soda water
--tliat Is to say, the commonly accept
ed beverage with fruit sirups.
1t was made by Eugene Roussel, who
conducted perfumery establishment
here about century ago.
Moreover, the Philadelphia centen-
NAL finally confirmed the important
place Of the industry and the popular
ity of the beverage in the United
States. Robert M. Green began to
build soda fountains In IA, showed
one at the centennial, and at the
Franklin institute exposition, held not
long thereafter, dispensed his new In
yention, "ice cream Soda to an in

paying $500 q day over the counter

DISCOVERY or HOLY CROSS
Story Goes That the Empress Helena
Was Responsible for Its RecoV-
cry From the Jews.

Through the zeal of the Empress
Helena, mother of Constantine the
Great, was discovered the cross on
which the Savior was crucified, and
the date Is given as May 3. The
story usually told Is to the effect that
the empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring the
cross from its conceament and give It
to her together with other crosses in
their possession. Its identity was es-
tabIished by miracle; The body of a
dead man was placed on each of the
crosses, and when it touched the true
one the dead man Immediately came
to life. Many pilgrims travelling to
Jerusalem received pieces of the true
cross, and the question was raised as
TO the possibility Of supplying thou
sands with those fragments without
entirely carrying away the cross 1t
was therefore said that the true cross
had the power of reproducing itself.
On the capture of Jerusalem in Ga,
the cross we are told, was carried into
Persia where 1t remained until re-
stored by Heracllus, which event is
c0mmemorated in September and Is
usually called Holyrood day. The four
nails were distributed so that two
were placed In the imperial crown,
one brought to France, and another
thrown into the Adrlatic TO quiet its
turbulence.

TO ASSIST CUPID
Movement for MIXED Clubs" in
City of London.
Method Has Been Suggested to Check
Decline In Marriage Rate, Which
ls Viewed With Consld.
~ cradle Alarm.

Social reformers, bishops, clergymen
and physicians are continually remind
ing us that In England we need more
marriage and earlier marriage" The
postponement Of the age of marriage
among men until thirty or the begin
ming Of middle age is not healthy
social sign.
In the middle class this deferment
of wedlock Is attributed chiefly to the
increased difficulty in earning a suffi-
Client income TO support the family
The same factor comes into play among
the skilled craftsmen who wish to at
tain a fair financial position before
they undertake the responsibilities OF
parentage. We find therefore, that
early MARRIAGES. the custom chiefly Of
the unskllled workers, casual laborers
and the very poor.
The economic question is not the
only barrier to early marriage and more
marriage in the great middle class.
Strange as 1t may appear, vast num-
Der OF men and women who wish to
marry cannot find mates. Even in
these days there are a multitude Of
men who have very few women ac-
quaintances, and still larger host or
women who rarely enjoy the society
Of men. We are apt to forget that a
large proportion Of the Inhabitants Of
/ the big cities are practically strangers
| in the gates" Their homes are
bedroom in the suburbs, boarding
house or little lookup fiat. They are
country immigrants to the large towns,
and In many instances they have not
single acquaintance in the place.
If we are really in earnest about the
decline of the marriage rate and the
deferment Of matrlmony, we should set
about facilitating social intercourse be-
tween the sexes. The first practical
step Is the provision Of mixed clubs
under municipal control. Clubs. as they
exist now, are simply internment camps
for men or women, and there Is no
doubt that they tend to a further seq
regation of the sexes.
1t is true that there are clubs in Lon
don where men and women can meet.
But we require a very much larger
number In the metropolis and In all
parts of the provinces. 3maB
7 My own experience of mixed clubs
is that they undoubtedly promote mat
rlmony. They are a pleasant meeting
place for young men and women after
,bthe days work. 1t is appalling that
y thousands of youths and maidens
Should have nowhere to foregather in
the evenings and noGhoice between the
Jllonely lodging and the streets.

Nickel Coins Again.

An innovation in currency has been
made by the Indian government,
which has coined and issued nickel
Sauna and 4-anna pieces. TwO-anna
and Lama pieces have been in circu-
laton in India for many years. but
hitherto no nickel coins Of value
equal to the new Issue have been in
use in any country--in fact, the 8
anna piece Is credited with being the
highest-yalued coin struck in base
metal IN the world, its recent sterling
exchange value being shilling 2
pence, or IS cents, at normal values.
The Indian government was influenced
in It's decision TO issue the new coins
by the high price of silver, and it IS
probable that one result of the inno-
walton will be to cause the Sauna sill.

Another Use for the Alrplane.

Eclipse observation by airplane Is
declared by Paul w. Merrill to be not
chlmerical. A modern plane could
readily surmount any ordinary fog or
cumulus cloud, though cirrus is usual
ly too high, and, aside from cirrus
clouds, the observer would have a
wonderfully clear dark sky. And pho
tOgraphic observations are not out of
the question. A DeHaviland plane
with a Liberty motor, at 10000 feet
altitude, rides more smoothly than a
train, and should permit direct photo
graphs on a small scale especially If
the plane. were equipped with a gyro-
scopic stablllzer.

Finland

DR.. M. Helenius- Seppala. an official
in the Social Ministry, described the
results of Prohibition in Finland. En-
forcement problems similar to those
facing the officials in the United
States were discussed by him. Fin
land is divided into seven districts in
each of which there is temperance
instructor who gives lectures and in
structions to officers relative to up
holding the Prohibition law. The
speaker expressed the opinion that
Prohibition enforcement is possible
only if the government has complete
charge of the manufacture and sale of
alcohol for all legal purposes. In Fin
land illegal distilling hourished most
where legal. distilling was not pro-
hibited. Under Prohibition it was no
longer possible for legal distilfing to
conceal the illegal practice. thus maxi
ing it easier to enforce the law. I'm
der Prohibition arrests for drunken
ness in Finland decreased from 50 to
90 per cent.

Germany

A paper prepared by DR.. A. Holt
scher of Karlsbad, Germany. read by
Secretary Ernest H. Cherrington
states that beer consumption in Ger
many has not reduced the consump-
ton of spirits. According to DR..
Holitscher, beer is responsible for
much of the alcoholism from which
the countries of Europe are suffer
ing. This is particularly true of
France, Italy and Germany. II is not
the form but the alcohol in the bev-
erage that does the harm. More alco-
hol is used in the form of beer than
in the form of spirits. Criminal statis-
tics in Bavaria show that so per cent
of the blood criminality is due to
beer. The fight against beer is diff
cult because the brewers of Germany
are powerful. They control the gov
eminent, Parliament and the press.
Beer Prohibition is as necessary as
spirits Prohibition. Full Prohibition
of every alcoholic liquor is the only
solution OF the drink problem.

Hon William ]. Bryan

William J. Bryan traced the Pro-
hibition movement in America, tell
ing of the part played by various tenn
perance organizations. One of the
most important factors in the fight
for Prohibition was the demonstration
OF the benefits of Prohibition in places
that went dry under local or state
laws. Speaking of the present Pro-
hibition problem in this country Mr..
Bryan declared that we will never en-
force Prohibition through men who
do not believe in the law Mr.. Bryan
declared that the day is not far dis
tant when America will shake the
world with testimony OF the benefits
of Prohibition. These benefits, he
said, will be enjoyed in proportion to
the extent to which the law is en-
forced. On the subject OF world Pro.
hibition Mr.. Bryan said Having
