Alumiv.m platesd non breakable Booze Costs Years of Life Insurance Records Prove Moderate Drinking Increases Death-rate 35% Ee Insurance figures prove that the excess of deaths among moderate drinkers over abstainers runs from 1 1% to 74%. It is the business of Life Insurance Companies to know the risks a man takes when he uses liquor. These Insurance men have no theories to prove and no doctrine to preach. Their figures are as cold as ice, and they make you pay for the risks you run. To them it is simply business—a matter of dollars and cents. But to you it is a matter of life and death. Actuarial Comparison of Death Records From tables prepared by R. H. Moore, Actuary of the United Kingdom Temperance and General Insurance Company, based on Records of over 60 years’ experience. Ages Total Abstainers Moderate Drinkers Excess Deaths Among Moderate Drinkers 20-30 4,221 4,617 H% 30-40 4,201 7,041 68% 40-50 6,246 10,861 74% 50-60 13,056 18,524 42% 60-70 29,078 34,568 19% Are You Willing to Die Before Your Time for Sake of Boose? THE number of deaths among moderate drinkers averages 35% higher than among abstainers. If you have habitually taken two glasses of whiskey per day or the alcoholic equivalent in beer, your chances of dying before your time are double those of total abstainers. It has been costing total abstainers yearly millions of dollars in pre­ miums to help to pay for excessive deaths among drinkers! Can we afford such waste of life and money in the face of the war losses of money and men?

SENATE AND THE PEACE TREATY The Senate of the United States ap­ pears to have as great difficulty in a- greeing to the treaty of peace with Germany and to the formation of a league of Peace as the Peace Confer­ ence at Paris had in framing the terms of the treaty. One can readily understand that in the framing of the treaty there were many conflicting interests to be re­ conciled; why the Senate of the Unit­ ed States should spend months in dis­ cussing it is not so clear. The Sen­ ate of the United States by no means represents so high a level of states­ manship as did the Peace Conference Perhaps that accounts for the trouble. The Senators are politicians, not statesmen. They are not so much con- cerrXd about making arrangements that will insure, or tend to insure per­ manent peace, as they are concerned about the next presidential ekttions. It is significant that nearly all the opposition to the Peace Treaty comes me may Democrats mul Republicans so differently on this important mat­ ter? The answer is, “Politics.” The opposition is not to the Treaty, but to the President. The President is a de­ mt I rat, and the Republican Senators (some of them, perhaps, with an eye on the presidential office) will do what they can to discredit him. Some of them, doubtless, can see nothing in the present or any other business but an opportunity for one party or the ither to win political advantage. The United states Senate, to be sure, never did stand high as a deli­ berative body. Generally there are in the Senate a few of the ablest men in the country; but the great majority are merely rich politicians without and knowledge of world affairs, or even home affairs except in so far as their own pockets are affected President Wilson is at present on a tour of the country, sentiment country to force the speech-making in the hope of creating enopgh in the balking senators to agree to the Treaty as it came from the Peace Con­ ference. Many friends of the Treaty however, have about concluded that the Treaty7 will not be agreed to by the Senate without “reservations.’’ That is there will be certain features of the Treaty to which the Senate will not agree, though accepting the m.|n parts. It will then be necessary for the representatives of Britain, France and the other nations concerned to ac­ cept or reject the Treaty in its re- ’vised form. The Treaty, in all likeli­ hood, will be so much the worse for the changes; but the Senate of the United States will have shown that the world can’t go on without recog­ nizing it. And incidentally the Re­ publican Senators will have prevented President Wilson from becoming quite the big man he otherwise would have been. FACTS ABOUT EDUCATION From a little pamphlet issued by the promotors of an Educational Con­ ference to be held in Winnipeg or Oct. 20-22, we learn that Canadians expend just one million dollars per week on schools; and that the average attendance of pupils is just about one million per day- So that the country spends just about one dollar per week or 20 cents per day, on each boy and | girl who attends school. By Failure of the Liver and Kidneys to Purify the Blood Relief Obtained by Use of Dr. Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills. For thia Chase’s Kidney-Liver world-wide reputation thorough cure for lumbago, chronic in- Too much eating of heavy, highly- eeasoned foods and too little out­ door exercise are the most frequent causes. The liver is upset, becomes torpid and inactive, the bowels are constipated, the kidneys are over­ worked in an effort to get rid of the accumulating poisons and break­ down. Headache, backache, aching limbs sound a warning note, and when this is not heeded the natural development is rheumatism, lum­ bago, and painful and fatal forms of kidney disease. To best overcome this condition Dr- Chase worked out in his private practice a prescription which has come to be known as Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Ldver Pills, because of their combined action on these filtering organs. No treatment has ever proven so successful in awakening the action of the kidneys, liver and bowels, and thereby cleansing the system of all impurities, reason Dr. Pills have a as the most rheumatism, digestion and constipation. " Mrs. Alex. Gordon, Walkerton, Ont., writes: “A few years ago I suffered from kiuney and liver trouble, with pains in my back. I had heard of Dr. Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills being good for this, so I commenced taking them. I had only taken a couple of boxes when the trouble was all lemoved.” Mrs. M. Nickels, 192 Milton street, Sarnia, writes: “I have found Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills an ex­ cellent remedy. I suffered consider­ ably with kidney trouble and back­ ache, but after I had taken five boxes of the Kidney-Liver Pills they gave me relief. Since then, which was about five years ago, I keep them on hand, and use them whenever I feel the need of them-” Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills, one pill a dose, 25 cents a box, all deal­ ers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto.. Substitutes will only disappoint. Insist on getting what you ask for. to in of That doesn’t seem a very great a- m o u n t, though the school taxes nay often seem quite large enough chose who have to pay them. Other interesting facts set forth the pamphlet are that in a total about 40,000 school teachers in Can­ ada, only 6,500 are- men. Teacher’s alaries range all the way from $201 per year to $3,500 per year. It is to be hoped that the teachei who gets the $201 doesn’t have to lay city or town prices for board and lothes. --------« •*-------------- MARKING THE BALLOT It is said that a Toronto woman who is a very enthusiastic supporter of prohibition said that, when she came to mark her ballot, she would write the word “no” right across it. If she does that, her ballot will be spoiled, and her vigorous vote will count for nothing. As the campaign proceeds; every voter in the province will have an opportunity to see and examine fac-similies of the ballot to be used, ‘yes” ballot What “no” or to vote. crosses, remem- It will be scene that the words and “no” are already on the and opposite each question, the voter has to do is to put a moss in the space with the ‘yes” according as he wishes Any marks other than the spoil the ballot and it must be herd that" the voter must make four crosses—one opposite each question, (f one marks only two or three of the questions the ballot will not be coun­ ted. The referemdum campaign will develop largely into a school of in­ struction in marking the ballot. It s fortunate for those voting the first time that one may consistintly vote ‘yes” or “no” on all four questions. PERSONAL LIBERTY AND CIVIL LIBERTY In a letter which he recently wrote to Joseph Gibson, Postmaster of In­ gersoll, Mr. J- C. Mickle of Chesley, points out an important distinction between Personal and Civil Liberty. His Letter follows. Joseph Gibson Esq. Ingersoll, Ont. Dear Sir:— ' I listened with ^reat attention to your excellent address in Geneva Church last night but there was one statement which you made which I believe to be an error and I think you could strengthen your argument if the error is corrected. You stated that it was claimed that prohibition was an interference with personal liberty and admitted that this was correct, but you justified it by illustration. The first temperance address which I gave some 30 years ago was on personal and civil liberty and I had drawn my argument from Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England, the highest author- it>'. en th m uo uh ;h6 pulpii IR gGfjel’&l I have noticed a Strange confounding if personal with civil liberty. As a a matter of fact they are quite dist­ inct. Personal liberty is the liberty of the person and the loss of that liberty is regarded as an untold dis-- aster. The Negroes of South Africa were deprived of their personal liber­ ty when they were carried into slav­ ery. Blackstone defines personal lib­ erty as a “right of locomotion to go where one pleases, and when only so far restrained as the rights of others make it necessary for the welfare of all citizens.” That is the true meaning if personal liberty, and it has no more to do with prohibition than the tiewing of a Manx Cat has to do with the music of the Spheres. When that league was formed at Toronto under the caption of the Citizen's Per­ sonal Liberty League, the motive was to impose upon the public by making it appear that so precious a right as personal librty was endangered It was a piece of clap-trap, and every lawyer associated with the League must have known it. Civil liberty is defined by Black­ stone as “the natural liberty of a mem ber of society, so far restrained thru man-made laws as is necessary for the jood of society.” I note this definiti­ on has been approved by American jurists, and is referred to in American text books. It is the definition of Blackstone, and it is by this definition that every law must be tested. If the .aw which it is sought to impose is not necessary for the good of society and expedient for the general advant- fage of the public, then there is no in­ fringement, and the law in itself con­ stitutes one of the bulwarks of cviil iberty. The arrant nonsense which is so of­ ten talked and written about the at­ tack upon our personal liberty always jars upon me, because it is the purest kind of camouflage. Yours very truly, ' C. J. Mickle. Chesley, Sep. Sth, 1919. ST. HELENS SCHOOL FAIR The West Wawanosh School Fa’r held at St Helens on Monday of last week was successful in every way be­ yond expectation.
