be acquired.
There are other diseases concern

has been remarkable factor in the
upbuilding of Alexandria's moral
growth for years past, and the city
can i'll afford to lose him. BY both
word and work he has been spiritual
Illumination among US. The absolute
sincerity Of his character, the broad
foundation of his Christianity, the
kindly helpfulness of mis- nature, have
eloquently exemplified the teachings
of his Master, whose servant he has
ever been. His absence will indeed
be keenly and sorrowfully felt. That
success may attend him in his new
duties will be the earnest wish OF
every Alexandrian, of whatever creed
or religious affiliation.

III our opinion, before the fiction Of
royalty in England is done away with,

MS Lloyd George calls it, will be a
republic in name as it is now in fact.
Great Britain no longer rules her
colonies, and they are practically as
free as are our States. By the time
that the feudal shell of hereditary
royalty and aristocracy has complete

wealth of Ireland will probably be as
firmly welded to her sisters as Nir-
ginia now is to Texas or Oregon.

Bookkeeping for Boozers

Analytical chemists have been
analysing samples of the stuff sold as
whiskey all over the United States.
They find that it contains certain
chc'aical elements that drive the OK
ygea from the blood, and thus cause a
slow suffocation that is almost sure
to cause death within five years, if
the drinking is kept up.
The victims of the bootlegger may
evade the laws Of Uncle Sam for a
time-but they can't cvade the laws
of nature. Every time they take a
drink it amounts, in reality, to trad
ing off so many hours or days or
weeks of life in exchange. If they
only kept books Of their transactions
in liquor-guzzling, and entered the
proper debit and credit each time they
took a drink, we believe the bootleg
gers would soon be driven to earn an
honest living. For instance, they
might debit themselves one drink and
credit death one hour; the price would
increase, however, and at the fiji
tieth drink they would have to credit
death, say, one week. If they were
at loss as to the proper price to pay
the Grim Reaper, any competent ply
sician could soon make the calcula-
ton. Why. not keep books for booz-
ing? Any business man will tell you
that he couldn't run his business with
out bookkeeping; and that is only a
question of making or losing money,
But certainly human life is not to be
valued in dollars and cents.

Santa Claus's letter-carriers will only

the Merriest Christmases ever held

little color in the statement that

severance of relations in 1921.
Two well known foot ball men were
journeying up from the south, seated
in a Pullman smoking compartment.
