Doctors and the Dry Law.

A word may be said on behalf Of the doc
tors, who are themselves divided as to the
merits Of beer as medicine. Much OF the debate
concerning the proposed amendment to the VOL
stead act has proceeded on the supposition that
the medical profession would devote its time
almost exclusively to the prescribing of beer
for patients use. Such an assumption does
great injustice to a noble profession, whose
members as a whole are entitled to be listed
among the really high minded Of society. AS a
rule doctor will prescribe for patient what
may be helpful, or at least not dangerous. If
convinced that alcohol in any form will be Of
assistance in working a cure, the doctor may
employ it, and is wholly justi6able in doing so.
Many of them pronounce in advance that alco-
hol is Of such little use in sickness that it may
be abandoned without loss to the race, while
others vehemently assert that alcohol has no
proper place in medicine. Very few indeed have
so little regard for the obligations they have as
sumed as physicians that they will for sake of
income transform themselves into agents for the
distribution of Intoxicating liquor. So far as the
amendment pending in the senate at present in
terferes with the practice of medicine by UNDER
taking to direct what means may be employed
by the medical practitioner in his service to the
sick, just that far it is an affront to the honor
able men and women who have devoted their
talents to the amelioraton OF the ills that flesh is

Social Conscience and Progress.

Each age OF the worlds history imagnes
it is the pivot on which life is turning into new
regions OF growth or decay. Change has al
ways been present, although its rate OF speed
or Importance oftentimes has been msread.
The present era is one in which everything
seems to be in hux; but what is quite generally
overlooked is that at numerous times in the
history of our own land there has been as much
or more restless and eager anticipation OF mo-
nlcntous changes.
II this could only be realized, matters might
more easily be adjusted, with less panicky et-
forts on the part of the conservatives to repel
the radical forces whose strength IS SO much
overcstimated A sane view is that expressed
at the New Church convention i'll Boston re-
Gently by Charles Sickle, who said:
Social unrest is the legitimate outcome OF
the finest ideasm the world has ever known.
1t is true that alongside the splendid progress
there has risen a radicaism which is deplor-
able. How shall we deal with it Certainly
not through complete suppression.
1t is much better to understand man than
it is to silence him. 1t is altogether too easy
to throw man into Jail simply because we
do not believe in him. There are times when
the penitentiary is the only place tor trouble
maker but this is too easy a way in which
to abolish social unrest
Nothing short of absolute justice will cure
radicalism. Unless complete justice is
granted, social unrest will never be abolished
through the use of armies and navies 1t is
better to talk week than to strike a year
to talk with perfect freedom and open-mnd
edness An attitude Of hard-boiled infallbil-
ity is fcarfully irritating. To build up charac-
ter is the principal function Of the church. 1t
is here that the church will make its largest
tn tha of he
question.
For men to emphasize the fact that all are
dependent one on another is not menacng,
but promising thing. II anything has been
missing from the education OF modern man it
has been training in character and in the cx-
ercse of social conscience. Progress can be
made along these lines and from such course
no evil is to be feared.

Joys Of a Purpose in Life.

The man who admits even to himself that he
is a success must have arrived at his position in
the world by accident rather than by anxious
and persistent pursuit OF an ideal. Once in
while one hears of man who in maturity fa.
achieved the goal of youthful ambitions, but even
such one probably would confess that realiza-
ton leaves him unsatis6ed There is always
something beyond, and any man of spirit always
sees farther than he can reach.
True ideals greater than the person who
possesses them This is the success that lies in
failure, and yet no purpose is worthy that does
not contain an ideal. The effort for attainment
is what brings satisfaction, and not to have
striven toward definite objective is to have
missed the full experience of life.
The man or woman who lets events decide
his fate does not necessarily find comfort in the
final outcome, and in addition has missed the in
spiriting struggle that results from following a
clearly defined plan of action. To conhne the OBJ
ject in life to contentnent is to make of it dull
task. Pain, sorrow, disillusion and regret are not
thereby escaped, and unless there is purpose to
hold one stcadfast, when suffering comes it is al
most unbearable, because it, too apparently lacks
reason.
The search for higher things, to develop ones
usefulness in the world, to respond to an ideal,
is the justification OF life Nothing venture, moth
ing have, is one way OF expressing this great
truth; or in more ancient words: ''Whosoeycr
shall seek to gain his life shall lose it; but who
soever shall lose his life shall find it."

Equal Rights for
Men !?


A case has come up in New York
in which husband is contestiuS his
wife's suit for separation on the
ground that If anyone should be
granted a decree it is he. He makes
the plea that when he got married
his wife promised To give up her
feminist activities and devote herself
to their home, but that she failed to
keep the promise.
We do not know the merits OF
this case. but the frequency of di-
vorce and separation actions under
the new dispensation of equal
rights would make it seem the busi-
ness of the courts in the near future
to determine the marital status as
the practicalities now affect it.
Thus far there has been no legal
departure from the theory that the
husband is responsible for the up
keep Of his home and the support
of his wife. That theory. however.
came into being at time when wo-
mems rights in the modern sense
were not recognized.
Wither thou goest l will go,
where thou lodgest I will lodge.
thy people shall be my people and
thy God my God.
The ancient pledge is rather much
OF a dead pledge now. It doesn't
mean anything. That. perhaps. is
something not to be regretted in
view of the vaster benefits which
flow from the improvements mo-
dernity has made In the status of
women who with their equality of
citizenship have come to demand
a similar equality" in the house
hold. The household equality has
been productive of some rather
curious results in that the husband
is bound as strictly as he ever was
to the upkeep Of hearth and home,
but the wife may feel legally free
to decide her own destiny. IL she
likes, in the great outside world.
That this feeling Of freedom from
the erstwhile domestic restraint has
resulted in wide Emergencies Of
opinion concerning the duties of
the wife in the present generation
there can be small question. The
modern young woman, in theory at
least, recognizes no restraint. The
marriage partnership" as the mod
ern phrase goes, seems to absolve
the male participant from no obli-
cation, but the lady is to go her
own sweet way. In other words, it

Trade Follows Romance.

The South Sea islands, having arrived at
fame through popular fiction, are now being dis
covered commercially. 1t is case, not Of trade
following the flag. but following literature. Ac-
cording to recent issue OF the World Sales
man. it has been found that there is much room
for industrial development in the Pacific. Suva,
the capital Of the Island Of Fiji has recently In
stalled an electric street lighting system and is
now talking OF street cars and electric railways

American firms are said to have won over
much trade formerly held By Germans: Pets

and pans and hardware OF many sorts are
greatly in demand and the sale of bedroom fit
tings indicates that change in living standards
is coming about. The one obstacle 10 the
growth of trade is the fact that it is possible
for natives 10 live without much labor, simply
by doing without modern convcniences and
luxuries However, once these islanders are
sufficiently interested in the beauties OF talking
machines, motor cars, vacuum cleaners and
washing machines, voluntary unemployment
may cease and the blessings and discomforts OF
civilization will follow.

While on a vacation drink no raw

attached to drinking raw milk. but
this is increased many fold when

four cups of water. Put in a bottle
and keep tightly corked. This So
