Black Soldiers Acted Well.
Camels evidently despise bullets.
The camel transport corps was In
action recently, somewhere In Meso
potamia, and received its baptism of
Are. No shell or bullet can excite the
stolid, contemplative animal; but It
might have been expected thnt the
camel drivers, unarmed and untrained
for war, would have run for It at the
first sign of attack. Yet, In fact, most
of them responded admirably to the
call of their British ofllcers and stuck
to their nnlmals while bullets whizzed
around. With characteristic simplicity,
or It may be obstinacy, when told to
bring In their camels to shelter they
Insisted on taking with them the blank
ets which are Issued to every man, lest
they Bhould be stolen In their absence.
Some wanted to mount n hill tinder
Are to get their money from their tents.
Tho contempt which a Soudanese stal
wart feels for the modem long-range
fighting was expressed by one head
manthe more warlike Soudanese reg
ularly act as head-men over the Egyp
tian peasants, who remarked, as the
shells hurst, Ihnt in his country they
"fought it out with knives."

Discipline.
There Is not that thing In the world
of more grave and urgent Importance,
throughout the life of man, than Is
discipline. What need I Instance? He
that hath read with Judgment of nu
tions and commonwealths, of cities
nnd camps, of poaco and war, sea nnd
land, will readily agree that the flour
ishing and decaying of all civil socie
ties, all the movements and turnings
of human occasions, are moved to and
fro as on the axle of discipline. So
that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrib
uted to fortune, I durst with more
confidence ascribe either to the vigor
or the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline Is not only the re
moval of disorder ... but the very
visible shape nnd image of virtue;
whereby sle 19 not on'y sepn ln
the regular gestures and motions of
her heavenly paces as she walks, but
also makes the harmony of her voice
audible to mortal ears. Milton.

BILLY SUNDAY ON AMERICA.
I would like to do this: I would
like to see every booze-fighter get on
the water wagon. I would like to
summon all the drunkards In America
and say : "Itoys, let's cut her out aaA
spend the money for flour, meat and
calico; what do you any?"
Come on; I'm going to line tip the)
drunkards. We will line np In front
of the butcher shop. The butcher sajsj
"What do you want, a piece of neckf,
"No ; how . much do I owe yooTi
'Two dollars." "Here's your dough.'
Now give me a porterhouse steak and
a sirloin roast."
"Where . did yon get all that
money?"
"Went to henr 15111, and climbed on
the wnter wngon."
"Hello! What do yon want?"
"Meefsteak."
Wo empty the shop and tho butcher
runs to the telephone. "Hey, central,
give me the slaughter-house. Hnva
you got any beef, any pork, any mut
ton?" They strip (he slaughter-house and
then telephone for tralnloads of beef
steaks. "What's tho mutter?"
"Tho whole bunch has got on th
water wagon."
And the big packers say to their
salesmen : "liny beef, porlf and mut
ton." und the farmers see tho price ot
cattle iiml sheep Jump up to three
times their value.
Lot me take the money you dump
Into the whisky hole und buy beef
steaks with It. I will tell you what Is
the matter with America: Your chil
dren are going naked and the whisky
gang has your money.
SHALL WASTE CONTINUE?
"The fermented rather than the dis
tilled liquors call for the greatest coa
sumplloii of grain in the liquor busi
ness," asserts the dean of the college
of agriculture, Illinois unlTerslty,
writing in tho Atlantic Monthly. "That
Is to say. about 120,000,01)0 bushels or
approximately the world shortage
are used for fermented liquors, against
some 3r,000,0()0 bushels, practically
none of which Is wheat, used for dis
tillation. "To transport the grain now used for
fermented liquor In the United States
alone would require the entire fleet ot
a thousand wooden ships, such as are
now contemplated for the war trade.
This 120.000,000 bushels of grain Is
the equivalent of over half the wheat
crop of France or of Canada, and It ts
twice that of England. It represents
the entire grain food of over 15,000,000
people, and that is no negligible
amount, it represents In the form ot
meat no less than 750,000,000 pounds,
or the carcasses of more than a million
of the heaviest beeves.
"With people starving ubrond, with,
large sections of Europe desolate, and
with food riots beginning in this
country as u result of high prices,
there cun be but one answer to the
question whether this wastago Shall
continue."

front.
JAB FROM THE LANCET.
"The enormous expenditure out
drink oven If drink wore Innocuous
Implies a corresponding abstraction
of wealth from useful and beneficial
uses. But drink is not Innocuous. It
is the most powerful and fascinating;
of all means of degradation and dis
ease which unfortunate human nature
can find to dehnse Itself. Every med
ical practitioner sees Illustrations of
this almost every day of his life. ...
The bishops have sot us an example,
nnd we of the medical profession have
also our religious duties." London,
Lancet.
NINETY PER CENT ACCEPTED.
Wartime conditions have brought to
light a new and unnnswornble argu
ment In favor of prohibition. It has
been a source of no small concern thnt
no larger a per cent of the yonng men
of the country were abk to meet the
physical requirements of the army and
nn'vy. A Y. M. C. A. secretary has
made a significant discovery. lie has
ascertained thnt while but 25 per cent
of the young men from a certain li
cense Btnto wore accepted for army
and nnvy service, 00 per cent of those
who enlisted from Kansas, the veteraa
prohibition state, were up to grade.
A DELUSION.
Rending blood to the hond, where It
surges through the brain with In
creased velocity, is not Increased vigor,
but Increased Irritation, which comes
just before anaesthesia and diminu
tion of power. The drinker deludes
himself, for he only thinks he Is think
ing. His very first drink hns produced
n definite, mensurable degree of Intoxi
cation. Dr. Edwin F. Bowers, In the
American Mngnzhio.
BARLEY IN SOUP.
The women will economise. They
are eager to. They want to do every
thing In their power to help. They
know. too. that barley Is Just as good
in soup as It Is In beer. Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw.
CAN'T AFFORD TO DRINK.
I have long since come to the con
clusion thnt as a mental worker I can
not afford even a small drink of wine
or boor. I have only a little Intellect,
and I have to ffoep that In working or
der. Prof. Walter Itauscenbusch.
A QUESTION FOR AMERICA, TOO.
"Tho controller Invited my assist
ance In his campnlgn for bread econ
omy," said Rt. Hon. Lelf Jones In the
house of commons, "and I wrote back,
'Why should I ask people to go with
out broad In order that other peoplt
may get drank?' I have no answer to
that question."
NOT NATURAL.
The grent majority of habitual drink
ers are born, not only without desire
for alcohol but with actual repugnance
towurd it, Jack London. ,
