What We Drink.
Philadelphia Record.
Once a year The American Grocer
tell* us what we drank the previous
twelve months. We drink a lot. We
don't drink quite so much as some oth
er people*, but we drink pretty liberal
ly, and the statistic* give little indica
tion of the tidal wave of total absti
nence that is supposed to he sweeping
over the country. In fact, the tidal
wave seems to be beer, with a little
whinkey and wine on the side.
Last year The American Grocer com
putes that we spent a little more than
a billion dollars for beer, $b<19,000,000
for distilled drinks and $128,000,(Ml for
wines. The sum of the three items is
just under a billion and three-quarters.
In 1913 the sum spent was a little
greater, hut not much importance can
be attached to a decrease of 2.3 per
cent. There are always small fluctua
tion* from year to year.
The tea, coffee and cocoa cost about
• quarter of a billion. In round fig
ures we spend about two billions a year
for drinks, of which seven-eighths is
for alcoholic beverages and one-eighth
for cup* which cheer, but not inebriate.
The coat comes to about $20 a year for
each person, male and female, old and
young, and as the adult males do most
«f the alcoholic drinking, and a good
many of them drink nothing, or very
sparingly, it is not an unreasonable in
ference that a great many men drink
very much more than is good for them.
The economic significance of the fig
ures is aboat as important as the moral
significance. Of the two billions a year
it is not unreasonable to assume that
one billion and a half is the cost of
drinks that are of little or no food value,
and that are not even food rel shers,
taken with meals. An expenditure of
$100 a year per family, far the greater
part of which is merely the indulgence
of an appetite, has a very considerable
bearing on the material welfare of the
country.
During the five years 1010 14 the per
capita consumption of spirits varied be
tween 1.42 and 1 50 gallons, the quan
tity reaching its maximum in 1913.
The per capita consumption of wirie
varied from two-fhirds to a little over
one-half gallon, but here there Beems
to have been u nearly continuous de
cline. In only one of the five yeurB did
the tier cnpila consumption of malt li
quor drop below 20 gallons, and then
only by a very minute fraction The
figure for 1914 was higher than in any
of the previous four years, except 1911.
The consumption is very constant at a
fra ctiun over 20 gullnns.
When it is considered that these fig
ures are bused upon the entire popula
tion, three-quarters of which consists
of women and children, and that a good
many men do not drink at all, and oth
ers only drink with their meals, the fig
ures are impressive, to say the least.
The per capita consumption of dis
tilled and mult liquors and wines in 1914
was higher than in Hny preceding year,
except 1907 and 1911, und while the per
capita consumption of spirits has de
clined from 2.24 gallons in 185(1 to 1 4(i
gallons in 1914, there has been a very
large increa.-e in the consumption of
malt liquors in 04 years. In recent
years the consumption of distilled li
quors shows no tendency to be dis
placed by beer.

Need of Capital Punishment.
Savannah Newa.
Special interest is felt in the State
in the effort that is being made in
Tennessee to abolish capital punish
ment, except for certain crimes, be
cause of the probability that an effort
will be made to abolish it in Georgia at
the approaching session of the State
Legislature. Governor Rye vetoed the
bill passed by the Tennessee Legisla
ture, although it provided that death
should continue to he the penalty for
rape, and for murder if committed hy
a person serving a life sentence in the
penitentiary, arid said in his message,
"To remove from the statute books
the death penalty would in my judg
ment increase crime and encourage
mob law. The death penalty in Ten
nessee as punishment for crime is rare
ly meted nut to criminals, but there iH
it serves to prevent
that
no doubt
crime."
At this time, when
wide movement
there is a very
to improve conditions
under which convicta serve their terms,
when it is so often ssid that the pur
pose of their sentences is not so much
punishment as their reformation, it
probably is not amiss that the govern
or of a State finds in the death penalty
a deterrent of crime. That penalty of
course is punishment simply, so far as
the man who suffers is concerned.
Men cannot be reformed after they are
dead. The fact that the bill that
Governor Rye vetoed retained death as
the punishment for rape Bhows that
sentiment in Tennessee has not yet
reached the point where it would
countenance any but the severest
punishment for that crime, and it is
doubtful it the Georgia Legislature will
for many years, if it ever does, pass a
bill doing away with capital punish
ment altogether.
The danger of mob violence would be
increased if the limit of punishment for
crime was life imprisonment. There is
no sympathy for the man who wanton
ly takea that which is dearer than life,
and there should be none. He deserves
nothing better than death, but he de
serves it at the hands of the State and
not of an irresponsible mob. And bo,
as long as men like him commit their
terrible crimes, there ought to be capi
tal punishment.
The theory lhat juries are loath to
convict men of murder because they do
not wish them to be hanged is weak,
because in Georgia a jury that wishes
can prevent the sentencing to death of
the man at whose trial it sits. The
truth in, it is not the death penalty
that causes so many juries to free men
with lilood on their hands, but the lack
of a stern, juBt public sentiment that
puts u high value on human life. It is
lolly to say that the juries value life
so highly that they refuse to return
verdicts of guilty of murder in the first
degree when, by their habit of turning
Blavers loose, they decrease the value
of tile.
Bilious Attacks.
When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This inflames the stomach
and causes nausea, vomiting and a ter
rible headache. Take Chamberlain’s
Tablets, They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach, and you will
soon be us well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.
He Desired It.
A boy walked into the office of the
telegraph company at Chicago and
asked for a job, relates the Kansas
City Star He said his name was
Missouri. ”
The mBnBger happened to want a
messenger boy just at that moment and
gave him a message that had to oh de
livered in a hurry,
"Here's your chance, my boy," said
the manager, "these people have been
kicking about undelivered messages.
Now, don’t come back until you have
delivered it."
A little while afterward the tele
phone rang. On the other end of the
wire there appeared to be an office
building watchman, somewhat terrified.
Have you got a boy they call 'Mis
souri?' " inquired the watchman.
We did have ten minutes ago,” re
plied the manager.
The watchman continued:
"That ‘Missouri’ feller came over
here and said he had to go to one of
the offices. We don’t allow no one up
at that office at this hour and 1 told
him he couldn't go."
Yes, yes,” said th_* manager.
Well,” said the watchman, “he said
he would go, and I had to pull my gun
on him."
"But you didn't shoot him?” ex-
claimed the manager.
"No," meekly came back the re
sponse over the wire, "but 1 want my
gun back."
The Higher Patriotism.
John Grier Hibben.
Mme. De Stael has said that “the
patriotism of nations ought to he
selfish." This must be interpreted,
however, wi h certain limits And it
is the office of the higher patriotism to
define and to transcend these limits.
As no individual dare live unto him
self, so also no nation dare live unto
itself: it fails to fulfill its destiny if it
is wholly self-centered and self-
absorbed.
But is it natural to love a stranger
and an alien as we love our own kin
and kind? Most assuredly it is, if we
are discriminating as regards the
sense in which we use the word "love."
The word indeed has two quite dis
tinct meanings. There is the love
which is identified with affection —
that affection which is bred in in
timate intercourse and community of
interests and desires. It is the love
we cherish for the inner circle of fami
ly and friends. There is, however, an
other sense in which we UBe the term
love.” It is in this sense that we
a-e exhorted to love our neighbor as
ourselves — nay, to love even our
enemies. This type of love is quite
another matter. It signifies a certain
attitude toward all mankind, showing
itself in a two-fold manner in a dis
position to respect every man’s rights
and a willingness to minister to his
needs.
“To do justice, to love mercy,”
these are cardinal doctrines both of re
ligion and morality, according to the
old Hebrew prophet. It iB easier to
obey the first than the Becond of these
commands. It is easier to respond to
the appeal—especially when it comes
to us at a time of calamity and wide
spread suffering—to love those in dis
tress and to give them true sympathy
and substantial aid, than it is to main
tain both the spirit and the letter of
justice in our dealings with those who
are not in distress and who neither aak
nor need help of us. Nevertheless,
the love of our fellow-men is only a
name, and therefo e a mockery, unless
it recognizes and respects the law of
just and fair dealing, not only be
tween man and man, bnt between
nation and nation as well.
Home-Making.
Youth's Companion.
A home is not merely a house; it is |
an atmosphere, a feeling. It is a place \
of beloved associations, where you can
wear old clothes, and think old
t’-oughts, and hear familiar vioces with
out hearing them You can be happy
there, and be comfortably unhappy, he
thoroughly unpleasant even, and know
that those you love will think no leSB
of you than they do already. Luxury
cannot make a horn -, nor can books, or
pictures, or rugs, or bric-a-brac. A
cat, a canary, two geraniums, a bible
and an old rocking-chair may make one
of the loveliest homes in the world At
the same time, a home is not neces
sarily happy because it is the hou9“ of
poverty, aB some would have us be
lieve.
The art of creating home atmos
phere is wholly the art of woman, and
she has none more charming. Mere
care will not do it, or mere neatness
and tidiness; indped, those thingB
sometimes work the other way. The
love of prettiness will not do it; good
cooking will not do it, although it is a
mighty help. Even being gay and
merry and kindly yourself is not quite
enough, although it helps even more
than the co king. Success in home
making, as in everything else, re
quires that you shall feel a real joy in
your work. If it is a drag, if it is an
irksome duty, you cannot make home
what it should be. Not that the home
maker should think of nothing else.
That iB neither desirable nor possible.
But the woman whose first pleasure is
to create that beautiful thing, home,
will be a precious and permanent in
fluence not only to her own family,
but to all her household, to all her
guests, to the whole community in
which she lives.
A man who is tied to his v
strings certainly isn't fast.

A Prayer for Women Who Toil.
Walter RauschenbuBch.
O God, we pray thee for our sisters
who are leaving the ancient Bhelter of
the home to earn their wage in the
factory and thesttre, amid the press of
modern life. Save them from the
strain of unremitting toil that would
unfit them fur the holy duties of home
and motherhood which the future may
lay upon them. Give them grace to
cherish under the new surroundings the
old sweetness and gentleness of wo
manhood, and in the rough mingling of
life to keep their hearts pure and their
lives untarnished. Save them from
the terrors of utter want. Teach them
to stand loyally by their sisters, that
by united action they may better their
common lot.
If it must be so that our women toil
like m.’n, help us still to reverence in
them the mothers of the future. But
make us determined to shield them
from unequal burdens, that the women
of our nation be not drained of strength
and hope for the enrichment of a few,
lest our homes grow poor in the wifely
sweetness, motherly love, which have
been the saving strength and glory of
our country. To such as yearn for the
love and sovereign freedom of their
own homes grant in due time the fulfill
ment of their sweet desires. By Mary
the beloved, who carried the world's re
demption in her bosom; by the memory
of our own dear mothers who kissed
our souls awake; by the little daugh
ters who must soon go out into that
world which we are now fashioning for
others, we beseech thee that we may
deal aright by all wemen.
Not for Men Only.
Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are not as
insistently demanded by women as by
men, because this particular cathartic
is not so well known among women.
Women suffer as much as men do from
indigestion and constipation, and they
also require this scientific remedy to
keep the stomach sweet, the liver ac
tive and the bowels regular. Foley's
Cathartic Tablets are wholesome and
thoroughly cleansing; do not gripe or
cause nausea. Stout people say this is
the one cathartic that takes away that
over-full and ;logged-up feeling. J. F.

The barber|was very bu9y and the
shop was full of men waiting for him
to practice his tonsorial art upon their
heads and faces.
One man, Mr. Blank, became tired
of waiting for his turn to come and
started to leave. Although his beard
had come out pretty heavy, he thought
no one would notice it and that he
could come hack the next morning
when the barber was not so very busy.
The barber, not wishing a customer to
go away unattended to, accosted him
by saying; "You're not leavin’ us, is
you, Mr. Blank?”
Mr. Blank felt of his face and re
plied: “Why, I don't need a shave, do
I?”
Thereupon the barber looked his
customer over critically and answered
him assuredly: "No, you don’t need a
shave; all you needs is a hair-cut on de
face.”
A Mistake Made by Many.
Don’t wait for rheumatism to indi
cate diseased kidneys. When you suf
fer pains and aches by day and sleep-
disturbing bladder weakness by night,
feel tired, nervous and run-down, the
kidneys and bladder should be restored
to healthy, strong and regular action.
It is a mistake to postpone treatment.
Foley’s Kidney Pills put the kidneys in
sound, healthy condition and keep them
active and strong. Begin taking to-day.
Good results follow the first dose. J.

Little Jack was inordinately proud of
the big round badge which his father
had brought home from the automobile
show, according to the Literary Digest.
It had a picture of a famous auto
mobile on one side, and a motto in
large golden letters on the other. He
wore it to Sunday-school.
The pastor walked down among the
“scholars,” smiling upon each bright

honored fashion of pastors on such er

“Ah, my Bon, what have you there?”
“That’s my golden text,” answered
Jack eagerly, beaming like a Chessy-

“Your golden text? That’s very
nice indeed. And what does it say?”
