Applying this figure to the whole nation, the esti
mators believe that for the country as a whole 1923 deaths
from liquor poisoning have been 10,000 so far, and they
call that a conservative reckoning.
Think that over. Think of it when you lift the illicit
glass to toast the yuletide season. Ten thousand dead
so far in 1923, and the holiday harvest still to be gathered.

THE OMNISCENT GUIDE— The steps of a good man are order
ed by the Lord.— Psalm 37:23.
“ all haste” and investigate a new motor fuel he has beard
exists within his kingdom. Out of the waste products of
paper mills it is possible to recover sulphite alcohol. When
tried in automobiles, this material had the disadvantage
of requiring a special engine and a new carburetor, and
even with these conveniences it seems to have clogged the
engine. By redistillation, however, the possibility of use
appears to have been developed.
At this point, however, the Board for Control of Al
coholic Liquors stepped in and threatened to destroy the
prospects of a country without petroleum rendering its
motor cars free from dependence upon foreign supplies of
fuel. Being highly suspicious by nature, the Board held
to the view that the liquid must be inebriating. It has now
concluded that there is no danger on this score to the pub
lic, as the stuff cannot beused as a beverage. Thereupon,
the King expressed his official interest.—The Nation’s
Business.

C hristm as had its spiritual side, which deserves and
receives attention annually not only in the pulpit and press
the world over, hut also in the hearts and minds of mil
lions of believers in the mission of the Child who was
horn amid such depressing surroundings more than 1900
years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
It has its material side too, for around the celebration
of the great Christian festival there has grown up a cus
tom of sending greetings and gifts which give an extra
ordinary impetus to trade and to the circulation of money.
Manufacturers, retailers, transportation agencies, tele
graph companies, the postoffice department—all benefit
by these outward manifestations of the Christmas spirit,
which thus discharges a most useful function in the body
politic. The cheapest Christinat card or the most ordinary
toy gives employment to various persons all the way from
the factory to tlie recipient.
