The Pacific Wine and Spirit Re-,
view says: The liquor trade may as
well come to the conclusion, sooner
or later, that a great clanger is found
in woman's suffage. On general
pr:neiplcs, nine out of ten of' the
American women are opposed to the
saloon as an institution. The liquor
trade need expect no
p quarter from
unreasoning'women. They must be
beaten by votes.

Miss Willard says : The economic
view of prohibition is one that ap-
peals to the largest number of our
people, and none will deny that more
and more they are separating into
two camps, the industrious and thrifty
favoring prohibition, the idle and
spent -thrift class opposing it. This is
no doubt the most helpful report that
can be made upon the present situa-
tion. As a great statesman in Eng-
land has said, the flowing tide's with

Alcohol Hurtful in Medicine.
Dr. Charles G. Davis, of Chicago,
in a paper react before the National
Temperance Convention and printed I
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association, speaking of the
National Temperance Hospital of l
Chicago, says:
The basic principles upon which
this institution rests may be for-
mulated as follows:
1. Alehol is a poison.
2. When taken into the system it
is not assimilated, but passes the
round of the circulation, and is
finally thrown -off through the organs
f of excretion unchanged.
3. While passing through
the body
it disturbs the various physiological
- processes and in this way lays the
foundation for disease. •
4. It does not stimulate or strength-
en, but it depresses and weakens.
5. As it is not assimilated, it can-
not be a food.
li. As it disturbs every physiologi-
cal'process, it cannot be a medicine.
7. 'there is no disease afflicting the
body that cannot be more -success-
fully treated without than with the
use of alcohol.
Speaking 'of the success which has

and medical cases without alcoholic
or fermented drinks, he says:
The lesson already taught has been
sufficiently convincing to impress the
most sceptical that alcohol is not only
unnecessary as an active medicinal
agent, but that, in a majority of

recovery of the patient. Slowly but
surely, eery year, this great truth is.

China and .Tapan•
Now that an outbreak of actual
hostilities between China and Japan
has taken place, it is interesting to !
take a glance at the fighting power
of the two nations, There are rea-
sons which render it difficult to make 1
an accurate comparison bCtween 1
them. In the first Mace, the named-
cal strength oi' the respective ariniesI
is not known with precision, and hit
the second, there are no available;
clata on wlliolt to form a judgment as 1
to.the advantage accruing to Japan i
Iron the thoroughness with which she
has modernized her forces.
There are, however, ono or two
points connected with the subject ,
which appear to be beyond dispute. ;
The first of these is, that if' counting
heads were an infallible method .of j
predicting military success there
could be no doubt that China must
inevitably triumph. There is an
enormous ,disparitybetween the two I
populations ---between the 3(10,000,- j
000 of China and filo fewer than
41,000,000 of Japan—and this diff-
ference is reflected in their armies. j -
It has been estimated that the Man- I
slut or "eight banner" soldiers of
China, forming the imperial army
proper, are about 280,000 strong, of 1
which perhaps one-third or about I
90,000, including the Pekin corps,
13,000 strong, are drillecl in modern
tactics and proviclecl with modern i
arms. Tho troops of the " green
flag " are put at 540,000, yielding,
however, probably less than 2(30,000 I
in condition and fit for war. There I
are also troops in Manchuria, with i
militia in Mongolia and Thibet. In
round numbers the Chinese military
establishment might be put at from
1,000,000 to 1,200,000 now prepared I
for service 111 war' and a Still sinaller
