Cloran, member of the senate of Canada, fifty-seven years old today. Why Are Breweries Odious. The following editorial, which ap- peared recently in the Minneapolis Tribune, outlines a situation which is not only true of Minneapolis but of every other city in which the breweries have come to exert a big influence through their saloon traf- fic. “Many plain citizens cannot under- stand why the brewing business should be odious. The breweries can- not understand it themselves. In its proper field the business satisfies a natural want in a healthful way, and affords a broad market for important products of the soil. “Why, then, should a great religi- ous body denounce it? Why does a member of the cabinet lose moral standing before the country by taking the nominal chair of its national meeting? Why do members of the Minneapolis city council refer with bated breath to the “great business interests involved” in a mere police measure to make the city cleaner and quieter? “A walk through the restricted dis- trict of Minneapolis writes the an- swer large. Here and everywhere the competitive zeal of the brewing business has transgressed its natural commercial limits to become the en- emy of decency and peace and quiet, of health and sanity and life itself, of family comfort and the moral or- der of society. e “From satisfying a natural demand in a healthy way, it has come to pro- voke a morbid appetite with exces- sive supply. ~ To increase wholesale trade, it has debauched the retail their frequenters. “In many blocks of Minneapolis saloons financed by competitive breweries cannot pay their interest, rent_and beer bills without forcing illegal sales on minors, women and drunkards, and without complicity in destructive vices. The upright and pious owners of brewery stock shud- der to refer to these in meetings to improve public morals. “That is what has made the brew- ery business odious in Minneapolis and elsewhere. The remedy is in its own hands if it chooses. If it do not, it must take what is coming fast.” A A A A A A A A AP s Style or Nothing. “Excuse me, ma’am,” said the fash. fonable lady’s new cook, “but would ye moind, now, if I had this address printed on my card?” “Why, not at all, Bridget,” replied the lady. “Of course, it is unusual; but this is your home now, and if you you to use your address on it.” “Thank ye, ma'am,” said- Erin’s have a card it is perfectly prober for | slated for delivery tomorrow after- brawny daughter. “An’ I moticed ve got printed on yer cards, ma'am, ‘At home on Thursdays’ Wouldn't it be proper for me, ma’am, to have printed oo moine, ‘Tuesdays off?’ "—Ideas. A8 TO LUCK. * First Pessimist—I wonder if any- d0dy’s as unlucky as I am. I never nave any luck at all. Second Pessimist—Huh! You're lucky.

For 384 years, the strongest na- tions of the earth have had it in their minds to build a Panama canal, but they never achieved what they felt, would be a world benefit. It is just 384 years since Spain made the first exploration for a canal across the isthmus. The engineers of Charles V. reported favorably after the survey. At the time, Spain, the richest nation in the world, dared not attempt the’ task.

Mr. Barrie even in a theater housing one of his own suc cesses has more the manner of an ob. scure understudy in thejcompany than the author of the play. ' But this day, catching sight of him, a prominent actor in the company trgtted over to the playwright with this idea on his lips: . “I say, Mr. Barrie, I have now been playing this part forreight years; gram during this tour; say, as a re ward, a sort of - cordon bleu, . you | know?” “Featured?” asked Mr. Bar rie, who in reality is not at:all familiax Absolutely Pure Economizes Butter, Flour, Eggs; makes the food more appetizing and wholesome The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar might I not be featured on the pro | plete illieit whisky distilling plant. | _ WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1912, with the ldioms of the stage. “Yes) continued the actor. “Can’t I have the word ‘and’ before my name so that the program will read ‘and Mr. Blank?” “Why not ‘but?” replied Mr. Barrie without moving his eyes. a hair's breadth from their steady, far- away gaze out into the dark, empty auditorium. “Moonshining” in Scotland.
