GERMANY DRAFTINGLAWTO CON: H'BOL RAPIDLY INCREASING LIQUOR SALE BARLIN, July 21 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).—Con- sumption of wines and liquors has been increasing so rapidly in Ger- many since the war that the reichs- tag has directed the drafting of a law, to be introduced at the Septem- ber session, to regulate the traffic. The law also will check & growing increase In the number of saloons which, in Berlin particularly, has been 80 rapid that even the mod- erates say the health and morals of the people are endangered. The crime wave which has been sweeping the country for many months, filling the jails of every city and severely taxing the re- sources of the police, is attributed by many to the “drink craze” and especially to the more general use, among the poorer Germans. of cheap cognacs, green whiskies, gin and other “hard liquors.” The Germans, in fact, are gradually losing their old reputation as beer drinkes, although an abundance of beer 'is obtainable. Practically all the cafes and winerooms of Berlin are installing “American bars” and even the high-priced cabarets, where once only best wines were served at tables, for which a charge was made, now have long mahogany bars, against which the customer may lean, with his feet on & brass foot rail, and drink as long &s he has the price of a drink or the bartender will trust him. There is no charge for a place at the bar, but to sit at the tables it is compulsory to drink cham- pagne, or some other wine of sim- , ilar price, with proportion profit to the proprietor. ‘The consumption of champagne has outstripped all previous records during the past twelve months, mounting_to more than 12.000.000 bottles. The principal rendezvous of the heavy and habitual cham- pagne drinker is the “night saloon,” which does not open until late afternoon or early evening, but continues serving its custom- ers until early morning, although the official closing hour is 11:30 at night. Publication of the statistics of ° champagne consumption recently brought a prompt demand from radical socialists and labor organ- izations for more rigorous control ' of this traffic, which, It was ai- ° leged, represented the “privileges” secured by the profiteers and the , moneyed foreigners who frequent the capital. ere is %150 a wide- spread demand for enforcement of the closing law. THERAPEUTICS OF RRAYER‘ Influence of the Calm and Hopeful | Mind on the Body. From the New York Herald There might be nothing more un- jusual in a doctor advocating prayer than in any man of any calling. There is something unusual, however, in putting prayer on a scientific basis as a therapeutic agent. The propo- sition is that prayer has, or at any rate, may have, a physiological effect upon the body as well a8 an influence upon the mind and soul. It is, there- fore, a means at the disposal of the hyglenist for preserving and restor- ing heaith. In “Why Die Bo Young?' a book newly issued from the press, Dr. John B. Hubee of this city takes the ground that “the urquestionable trend of modern thought is monis- tic.” He Indorses the concept of a “cosmic oneness, In which all phe- nomena, however diverse they may appear, are most intimately interre- lated, quite as it i{s now unquestion- { ably ‘agreed that all forms of energy are interchangeable.” Perhaps this may be straining the analogy a little from the point of | view of strict science, but there can be no doubt of the reflex #ction of | | body and mind upon each other. De- | pression of the physical condition {certainly causes despondency and healthy bodily conditions tend to high . spirits. Conversely, anxiety, grief, ! worry, evil expectation slow down . such functions as breathing and heart action—probably digestion and other processes, too—while confidence, ease of mind, hope are pretty sure to be | accompanied by desirable and healthy physical reactions. Doctors have long taken account of this reciprocal action of mind and matter in humanity. The well known “medical manner” i8 a by-product. | . The skillful practitioner aims by | cheerful suavity to create a will to {live and a will to recover in his pa- | tient. Nor can it be denied that the | | vogue of Christian science, faith | cure and similar forms of mental; heallng have attracted attention in! the profession and given a certain color to practice, especially along lines where nervous conditions are involved. Much has been written ini recent years about clinical psychol- ogy, and the hopeful. carefree mental attitude has clear recognition as a condition favorable to recovery from! tliness. | In doubtful cases, doctors some-: 'times say, the patient has his best i chance of getung ‘well just after he has completed preparations to die. The soothing ministration of relig- ion, the sense of peace and hope re- gardless of the outcome of the dis- ease, are apt to create a feeling of content and wellbeing extremely fa- | vorable to physiological rebound. 'May Restrict Billboards in Maine. | From the Christian Science Monitor. | Many people, especially those that; go down to the country in motor cars, will welcome the efforts that are being made in Maine to deall more faithfully than ever with the billboard. If an amendment to the state billboard regulations. now be- fore the senats, is carried, no bill- board or advertising sign may in fu- ture be erected at any point where it can obstruct the view of a curve or jangle. It is a good amendment, as far as 1t goes. A better one would be | to abolish the billbosord in the coun- try, altogether.

Whipple in “Essiys and Reviews." The first playhouse built in England was erected in Blackfriars, in the year 1569 or 1570, about twenty years before Shakespeare commenced writ- ing for the stage. Previously to this establishment of the “regular drama,” there had been three different species of theatrical representations—mira- cles or mysteries * * * —morali- ties, which sprang from the mys- teries, and approached nearer to reg- ular plays, their characters being composed of allegorical personifica- tiors of virtues and vices—and free. translations from the classics per- formed at the inns and court, the. public seminaries and the universi- ties. In 1574 the queen licensed a com- pany of actors, called the Earl of Leicester's Servants, to piay thréugh-- out England, “for the recreation of her loving subjec:s, as for her own solace and pleasure when she should think good to sec them.” Theaters rapidly increased. In 1606, there were Seven in Lo. . e there were seventeen. They were op- posed, in an early stage of their career, by the Puritans and the graver counselors of the sovereign. In 1583, @t the time that Sir Philip Sidney publishcd his “Defense of the Poesy,” he could find little in their performances to approve. Though forbidden, after the year 1574, to be- open Sunday, the prohibition does not appear to have be-a effective during the reign of Eiizabeih. ¢ ® ® As the taste for theatrical exhibi- tions increased, the task of provid- ing the theaters wilh plays became & profession. Most of the precursors, c ai = 2 4 Shakespeare were young men of edu- cation, who came down to the city from the universities to provide them- , selves with a living by whatever cunning there was in their brain and ten fingers. Some became actors as well as writers. The remuneration of the dramatist was - e eaving Buck- hurst and S:ill out the list) are yly, Kyd, Nash, Gr.ene, Lodge and arlowe. Much cannot be sai raise of these, if we except the lat- ter. Lyly is full of daintiness and conceit, with sweet fancy and senti- ment occasionally thrown in. He translates everything into quaint ex. pression. Thus, his Endymion pro- fesses that "his thoughts are stitched to the stars.” He Wore Well. From the Edinburgh Scotsman. Two country women were &rguing - . on the matter of thrift. “D'ye see that purse?” demanded one with a triumphant air. *“It's the one I bought when I was married twenty years ago, and it's as good a8 new yet.” “That's nothing!” sneered her friend. “You know my husband. John?* “Of course I do. What about him?" “Well, he's my firsi husband, and you've had three. Donm't you preach thrift to me!” An Incipient Colyumist. From the Boston Transcrin® Johnny (with picture book)—What made ‘em put people on the rack in the old days? Tommy—1 suppose they wanted to draw 'em out.
