Listen. Ten years ago I was, and. had. been for five years, traveling fo r a big diamond importing house in New York, and as usual I carried with me a ;large number of gems, often having a s much os fifty thousand dollars'' wdrtli.

I t is bu t lately th a t we have known enough of physiology to induce ns to believe w hat Rcieneo reveals of the specific poisonous effeate of alcohol. Or, knowing.tlus, we have, no t known enough of chemistry to lunderstand what drinks have alcohol. Temperance has made as rapid progress as the con­ dition of popular education will allow. As i t is, we have to meet the opposi­ tion of scientists, falsely so-called, who have tried in vain to demolish our cate­ chisms fend other text-books. They have often hindered th e work fend b rokeutnp temperance schools. And then we hear learned (?) assertions th a t there is po alcohol in lager beer and none in cider, and when there is this prevailing lack of knowledge among those who ought, to know, how shall the benevolent Workers who have not time for scientific investigation feel sure th a t they are righ t and go on w ith -Confidence? , - Surely th is problems Ifi sufficiently largo and important to w a rran t th e study of th e best m indf I t would pay them to go to the bottom o f th is social ■problem in a scientific-way, for there m ust he a solution somewhere.

T he “drink question" is a large one, and it confronts every nation. .In Ger­ many i t is discussed under the title of “Die Deutsche Alcohol-frage," and the Englishman who knows no language can make a p re tty good guess a t what the German words mean.
