WHAT LIQUOR MONEY WOULD DO. The American Grocer enumerates some of the benefits which might ac crue to the citizens of this country If the annual drink bill, $1,724,607,519, were turned Into legitimate channels, namely: "It would pay Interest and sinking fund on the amount necessary to buy comfortable homes for nearly nine million families. "It would buy a suit of clothes for every man and boy and a dress for every woman and girl In the United States, with enough left over to buy a pair of shoes for everybody. "if the money spent for drink were spent for homes tenancy would disap pear in the United States within one generation. "If It were spent for education every child In the country would receive a college education. "If It were spent for automobiles, every family In the country would own a car before 1924. "If it were spent for religion, It would within less than a decade carry the Gospel to every living creature. "If It Were spent for railroads, It would boy every mile of railroad tn the United States In ten years. "If It were spent for government. It would pay all the expenses of the United States, with enough left over to pay the bonded debt of all the states of the Union." A BIT OF HISTORY. Experience has shown that the clos ing up of the saloons and the outlaw ing of the liquor traffic nas always proved a great benefit to every legi timate Industry. A chapter In the history of Ireland furnishes a graphic Illustration. During the years 1809-10 and 181314 the distilleries of Ireland were stopped on account of the fam ine, on the ground that these distil leries wasted the grain that might otherwise be used by the people as food. The results were surprising. The consumption of spirits fell off nearly one-half. On the other hand, there was a tremendons Increase In the demand for dry goods, blankets, cotton goods, sugar, hardware, crock ery, groceries and other necessities, thus showing that a year of scarcity with prohibition Is better than a year of plenty without it. ALCOHOL, THE DECEIVER. One medical writer puts it thus: "There Is no use In stsdylng the action of alcohol on ourselves, as It blunts our perceptions and renders us unable to depend on our feelings. People feel that alcohol warms them, and yet the thermometer shows that they are really colder. Teople feel that they are doing more work when they are taking alcohol, yet the result shows they are doing less. People feel that alcohol Improves their sight, hearing and other senses; yet experi ence proves that It really Injures them all. Alcohol not only checks healthy growth, predisposes to sickness, les sens the length of life, awakens hereditary cravings, and weakens the mental powers, but also deceives, making the Injury an apparent Improvement." INSURANCE OFFICIALS TESTIFY. The medical directors of three great life Insurance companies estimated that from 7 to 43 per cent of acci dents are due, directly or Indirectly, to alcohol. Seven per cent of the rail road accidents, 8 per cent of the street car accidents, 10 per cent of those caused by automobiles, 8 per cent of those due to vehicles and horses, 43 per cent of heat prostration and sun stroke, 7 per cent of the machinery accidents, 8 per cent of the accidents In mines and quarries, 13 per cent of the drowning, and 10 per cent of the gunshot wounds are brought about, entirely or partially, by alcohol. NO BEER FOR HER CHAUFFEUR. A certain St. Louis brewer has a number of autos, one of which Is set apart for the exclusive use of his wife. Mrs. Brewer, being a reading and an observing woman, knows something of the nature and effects of the stuff her huHband manufactures and will not employ a chauffeur who drinks that or any other kind of alcoholic liquor. "Safety first" is her policy that Is. personal safety. We venture to say that neither husband nor wife feel happy when they permit themselves to think of the destruction which follows in the wake of the brewing business. MONEY FOR GOVERNMENT. Liquor Man Where will you get the money to run the government If you cut out the sale of liquor? Temperance Man The best answer I know of Is the action of the four great nations, which, at a time when every cent that can be got la urgently needed for the conduct of the war, finds It more profitable to reduce this revenue than to run the risks Inciden tal upon the general use of alcoholic drinks among the soldiers aud, as tn Russia, the general pnblic. SALOON HER GREATEST FOE. What can the Catholic church do If she Is loyal to her professed princi ples, but raise her hand in opposition to the American saloon, and put her self 'clearly on record as Its unswerv ing antngonlstT The Catholic church renounces her own life and principles when she ceases to combat with all her miRht Intemperance In Its causes and alliances. The American saloon Is hor mortal foe; between the church and the saloon therecqh be no truce. Archbishop Ireland. ABSTAINERS IRRESISTIBLE.
