Sub-consciously we remember that which we like to remember and blot out that which we like to for- get. What after all is the real dif- ference between the person whom we desire to forget and the one whom we desire to remember? Isn't It, on the whole, best described by the single word "Character?"

does the saying apply to a great many people, “He dcesf. know where he is goinK, but he is on his way."

Get acquainted with good auth-l ors. Everyone here has awess to two libraries. How many of us fail to read a thoughtfully written letter by a great statesman, a great poet. a philosopher? Yet within reach of our hand such letters addressed to us remain unopened and unread. It is not my desbe to make any suggestions in the matte;- of build- ing character that cannot be easily complied with by anyone here. The printed word is not the only means of communicating thought, it may be done by art and music. Acquire if you can an appreciation of both.

Cultivai: optimism and cheerful- ness. We can all work through the pleasant duties, the easy going straight way without difficulty. but it is cheerfulness and optimism that carry us through the hard places and difficult problems with undisturbed mind. In this way, we frequently add just enough to the total of 0w: accomplishments to make the difference between suc- cess and failure. Practice virtue and control just as you practice any- thing else in which you desire to become proficient, when it is :. question of truth, Justice, right or honour, bring out a character that admits oi’ no alternative in your decision.

ALCOHOL m EXPERT MEDICAL OPINION

CH. Cannon, Lieut-Col. Medical Corps, United States Army, assist- ant Director-General, department Military Reliefz-"The first aid division of the American Red Cross dies not approve of the use of alco-

hol as a stlmulent, a tonic, or a therapeutic agent." Col. l‘... Melvin Haus, Medical

Corps, U5. Army:--"After a careful study of alcohol as a. beverage and medicine. I have been unable to'dis- cover one beneficial or useful Dur- pose it serves in the human econ- omy."

Dr. WA. Evans, former Health Commissioner of Chicago, and now Health Editor of Chicago Tribune: —".My judgment is and quite delib- ertitely. that as a remedy for the cue of disease, alcohol and alco- holic beverages of any kind are Without value."

An international conference on alcoholism was held in London in 1909. Leading scientists and repre- sentive medical men from the great nations were delegates to this oon- ference which issued this statement: -"Exact laboratory, clinical. and pathological research has demon- strated that alochol is a dehydra- ting protoplasmic poison, and its use as a. beverage is destructive and de- generating to the human organism. Its effect on the cells and tissues of the body is depressive, narcotic and anaesthetic. Therefore, thera- peutically, its use should be limited and restricted in thes rune way as the use of other poisonous drugs."

Dr. Howard Kelly, noted surgeon

of Johns-Hopkins University, ad- dressed about 1,500 medical students in Philadelphia and advised them never to prescribe alcoholic liquors for their patients, despite the advice of older physicians, who, he declar- ed, prescribe liquor from force of habit. “Liquor in all Its forms and used for any purpose whatever I believe to be an unmitigated evil. It could be abolished with profit. In

another decade I prophesy that the‘

prescribing of alcohol by doctors will not be permitted anywhere under the flag.’ '

Dr. John Van Duyn, Professor of History of Medicine, Syracuse, N.Y., saysz-“As a rule which might well be regarded as universal in the practice of medicine, alcohol in the treatment of disease is an evil. In ordinary uses and in continuous use the sum of its reactions increases exhaustion which may lead to fatal results. Alcohol should never be given to children."

Dr. A. Van der Veer, Professor of Surgery, Albany, N.Y., saysz-"I do not think you will meet with very many medical men in America who favor alcohol and its use)“

Dr. John B. Murphy, eminent Surgein of Chicago. said:—“I do not consider spirituous liquors at all

necessary in the treatment o! disease." Dr. JH. Musser, Philadelphia:—

"In the medical wards of the Penn- sylvania Hospital, I have found that in acute as well as chronic diseases we odn do without alcohol. It does harm rather than gmd." CANADIAN DISTILLERS READING LIQUOR RING

F"0m Sea/tile. Washington, comes the Associated Press report that criminal charges were made pn July 7 against two prominent British Columbia distillers. H. Reifcl and son, who were accused by the Gov-

ernment of heading an elaboratc combine which during the fut five years has smuggled liquor worth $10,000,000 into the Pacific North- west. F

The complaint amid that the op- eration included formation of special companies and the use of a fleet of boats, which were directed by radio from British Columbia. At least one of the boats was reported to be equipped with a smoke screen to shield the landing of the illegal cargo. The Relfels were also among defendants named in a civil 501F111 which the Government asked $17,- 250,000 in Customs evasions. They were released on bonds of $100,000 each.—Unio'n Signal.

TIPSY? BLOOD WTLL TELL

Blood tests provide an infallible method of determining just how iri- toxicated a person is. Coroner's Chemist C. W. Muehlberger told the American Chemical Society in Chicago, according to press reports.

Furthermore, the amount of alco- hail in the blood, he said, shows just which one of the six stages of in- toxication has been reached. The amount, and the six stages, he des- cribed as:

l-Dry and decent-less than one milligram of alcohol. _ '

z--Delighted and devilish-one to two milligrams.

Cl-Delinquent and disgusting— three to four milligrams. l

4-D!zzy and delirious-three to fcur milligrams.

Fi-Dazed and disqusted-Jour to five milligrams.

6—Dead drunk-anything five milligrams.

However-this may help ln an argument-he admitted that "some people hold their liquor much better than othersP-Ex.

CHRISTMAS ONCE ILLEGAL

Without doubt Christmas is the most popular festival of the year. It is the time when, above all others, the family circle makes an extra- special effort to complete itself. 1t is a time of peace and goodwill.

Yet there is actually a period in our own history when the strong arm of the law intervened to put down what was described as “a superstitious festival," and all Christmas festivities were forbidden. The holly and mistletoe were order- ed to be destroyed, root ma. branch, as "plants of th Evil One."

It was Oliver Cromwell-a re- former in many ways-who tried to suppress the observance of Christ- mas. ordering that "he "hurtful custom." u h: styled It, lhould be ignored in tho principal towns. Ir order to attain this and he master‘ that :11 markets should be held ci December 8th. But the Protecto could not enforce the mbandonmen of such o. tune-honored and his con-mend was honored more In the breech flan the servanoe,
