THREE YEARS OF REPEAL, AND
WHAT HAVE YOU?

The newspapers, most of them, get
ting rich off of liquor advertising, but
very few bothering to publish the
truth about what the business is do
ing to us. 1t is not news in the
sense that it was when it was essen
.ial to prove that everything that was
wrong was due to the 18th Amend
ment. John Haynes Holmes in
very convincing article in the Chris
tian Century of November 25th
throws some light on the situation, as
gathered from the public press dur
ng the year. In regard to the in
crease in drinking, the following fig
ures tell their own story. In 1888,
the last year of prohibition, six mil
lion gallons of distilled spirits were
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
while in 1884 this amount increased
to forty-two and half million AMI
in 1885 to eighty-two and half mil
lion. During the same period with
drawals of fermented malt beverages
increased from six and half to for
ty-two million barrels. There are no
records of illicit sales during these
years, but from the ever mounting
cost of attempts at control this is
still in circulation. The National
Civic Federation under date of March
6, 1886, published the statement
that no less than fifty per cent of
distilled spirits consumed goes tax
free. This would mean "a tax loss
to the government of S360,000,0O0
annually.
On July 81 last, DR.. Karl M. Bow
man, of Bellevue Hospital, New York,
stated that excessive drinking was in
creasing by leaps and bounds"
The official figures of the institution
showed that in 1884, the first year
after repeal there were 7,640 admis-
sions for acute alcoholism; in 1895,
9,139 admissions, and In the first six
months of the current year, such ad-
missions were at the rate Of 1878

the making of calls.
There is a distinct western touch to
the observance of the season by this
most cosmopolitan city. Shanghal's

ners and dances as early as the mid
die of November; Immediately reserva-
tons are checked off on the calendars

exact form of observance varies with
the nationality divisions of the city.
In the Russian section, the day is OBJ

the wax dolls have to be brought far
from the Champs Elysees. The Jap

plum pudding and holly.

Made Best of Worst of
Christmas Time Mishap

THE snow began nearly week be-
l. fore Christmas and when the great
day arrived, folks were trying to re-
member the time when 1t didn't snow
In Morton City. Barnes, the only mer-
chant, had put off getting his shopping
supply so there were no gifts in town
to be bought for love or money. But
when news got about that the train
down on the railroad siding was snow
bound In Morton City, old and young
sort Of forgot about the lack of gifts.
Too, the president of the road with his
party had a special car on the rear
Of the snowbound passenger, and
wasn't that a great honor indeed?
Folks got over the novelty Of their
visitors in time for the organization
Of huge choir of carol singers that
went down to the train and paraded
through the length of the coaches, even
to singing for the chef and the porters
and, of course, all the train men.
They had remembered to take along a
tree decorated with the makeshift Or
naments they had on hand from pre-
vious years. But somehow, they made
a great hit with all the strangers who
Joined heartily in the fun.
The passengers dove into their bag
gage and brought up books, boxes of
candy, candy bars, ties, fancy soaps
and bath salts, highly perfumed, beau
tiful towels and even lovely baby
clothing, wearing apparel and jewelry.
In fact, not soul in the little settle
ment was without one of the impromptu
gifts. The passengers received old
fashioned roasted fowls and all trim
mings of a generous feast. What one
hath not, the other had, seemed the
most terse explanation of the happy
condition Lucia B. Lyons.

ASKED TO HELP
KEEP KRIS KRINGLE SOBER


1t looks like red-nosed Santa Claus
and old John Barleycorn are headed
for a big spree together Christmas
Eve, in spite of anything the liquor
control boards in the various states
can do about it.
A nationwide campaign to prevent
beer and liquor interests from lex
plotting the children's patron saint"
was launched recently by Miss Ethel
Huber, member of the National
Temperance Council. liquor con-
troll boards in many states immed-
lately pledged wholehearted support.
Now, wholesalers and retailers in
many states are openly iefying the
action of officials, according to Miss
Huber, who predicts that "a storm
of public indignation is sure to re-
suit"
From the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board in the District of Column
bia comes this statement which
seems to express the sentiment of a
majority of liquor control boards:
1.-THE attitude of this board is dis
tinctly against any advertising copy
which links liquor to the Bible or
which pictures Santa Claus dealing or
carrying alcoholic beverages. We
feel exceedingly strongly upon the
latter because of the fact that it
would be an advertisement which
would be attractive to children"
Newspaper publishers throughout
the country will render distinct pub
lie service in the interest of good
taste if they cooperate in this effort
to keep Santa Claus for the children,
and not to get him mixed up in the
beer and liquor business, Miss Hub
Ter, sponsor Of the campaign, said in
a plea to newspapers to assist in the
effort.

A TRUE STORY

Here's a story-a true one-told
by DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, Of the
way in which the Tuberculosis
Christmas Seals opened the way fer
medical attention and sanatorium
care for whole family in one of the
counties of Maryland.
The family CONSISTS of father,
mother and six children ranging in
age from 10 years to 10 months. The
father has been in ill health and un-
able to work for the greater part of
the year; the nineteen year old. who
has job in another part of the
county, has been the main source of
support. The family was brough.
to the attention of the County Health
Department through the request of
the family physician for aid from
the Christmas Seal Fund in securing
an X-ray examination for one of the
children.
When the family was visited it
was learned that the mother was ex-
amined fifteen years ago when the
second child was born, was found to
have tuberculosis and was advised to
go to a sanatorium. The advice was
not followed. This occurred before
there was full-time health service in
the county in which the family lived
and there was no agency to follow
up reported cases of tuberculosis.
In the meanwhile the family had
moved several times and they were
comparative new corners in the COM
munity in which they had settled.
Under the circumstances it was de-
cided to have the entire family ex-
amined. The father was found to
have tuberculosis in an advanced
stage. The mother has the disease
in the chronic form. The five youn-
active type of the disease. The nine
ger children are all affected with the
teen year old is to be examined later.
After much careful planning the
father, mother and five children were
all sent to a State Sanatorium. In
all of these arrangements. the friend
ly aid of members of local clubs in
supplying necessary clothing, in stor-
ing the family belongings and in
helping to keep up the family morale
was of great assistance.
The experiences were described in
a recent report of the full-time coun-
ty health officer of the county in
which the family was found. The
record could be duplicated. DR.. Riley
said, wherever the Christmas Seals
help to furnish the funds for tuber-
culosis work, and it shows only one
of the many ways in which the funds
derived from the sale of the Tuber-
culosis Seals are used to relieve suf-
fering, and If possible, to restore
health.
The seals will be on sale until the
end of December. They are only a
penny apiece, and every penny spent
for them. counts in the fight against
tuberculosis.

THE LIGHT ON THE GOLDEN GATES
EVANGELIST JOHN MOSES BAKER
Baltimore. Maryland

There is light shining bright on the
golden gates,
Of that city, SO wondrous and fair.
The light of Gods love and His glory;
Oh, what must it be to be there.
There is light shining bright on the
golden gates
And streets paved with purest gold.
Saints arrayed all in white over yonder,
And will never no never grow old.
There is light shining bright on the
golden gates,
Scattering forever all gloom.
Fullness of joy overlooking;
Sweetness of flowers in bloom.
There is light shining bright on tile
golden gates,
Set there in the jasper walls.
And angels striking their harps of gold;
Ring out as the welcome calls.
There is a. light shining bright the
golden gates,
We are nearing home, sweet home,
And the meeting with our loved ones;
Never never more to- roam.
