Thirty Glasses OF Beer a Day
Hurts Nothing but Prohibition

Chicago Mail.
"a brewery is the best place in the
world 10 study the effects of beer upon
the human SYSTEM" remarked the pro-
prietor of one of the big Chicago brew
cries last night. ''All our employees are
p emitted to drink as much as they
pie ase while at work. In every brew
cry with which | am acquainted there
are now bar and bartender. The
latter does nothing but draw beer for
the worknen as they want it. No
charge is made, and the wOrkmen can
drink beer whenever they want in and
in such quantities as they wish. The
amount of beer which is consumed by
some of our employees is SO large that
it seems almost incredible. We
have several men who, at times, reach
the total of 100 glasses of beer day, al
though this is unusual. Few of our men
average more than sixty glasses day,
while the majority of them drink from
twenty to thirty glasses day, and some
of them average as low as five glasses a
day. Brewery employees work ten
hours a day, so, il they sleep eight
hours, they will still have margia of
six hours idleness, in which they can
raise their average outside of brewery
limits. All the breweries keep records
of the amounts of beer consumed by
their employees and Its effect upon them.
Brewery physicians assert that work
men who average twenty-five or more
glasses of beer a day are in better gen.
eral health than any class of workmen
In other branches of employment.
- ccording to report of the physi-
clans employed by the New York Brew
ers' Benevolent bureau, which looks
after the sick and disabled workmen
and the families of deceased brewery
workmen. the remarkably large con-
sumption of beer by their patients has
no deleterious effects. Among 1000
workmen in New York district includ-
ed in the operation of the bureau the
death rate was only seven year during
five years, and the death of only one
patient was attributable to alcoholism.
1.-The average brewery employee is a
strong, healthy and hearty workman.
and If his consumption Of beer has any
harmful effects they are not apparent
upon the surface of the returns"

The Alligator Man.

Whilevisiting at Topeka, Kan, in the

If pleasure it can bs called-of seeing a,

Eskridge locally known as the "Alligator
Boy" Moses was a colored "boy" lin

twenty years of age, and if living today is
probably near his third of century mile
post) of average intelligence and fair look
ing as far as facial features were concerned.
But his skin! Even after ten years it
makes my flesh creep 10 think of it. From
his shoulders down he was rs perfect an
alligator as far as looks and appearances
went as ever basked in the Shiny ooze of a.
Mississippi bayou.
His shoulders, back and sides were as
scaly as the corresponding parts of the
saurian, for which his nickname was be-
slowed. The shoulders and sides were
heavily plated with true alligator scales,
which, he said, were "shed'' during the
summer months. The skin of the spine
and under the arms, as well as between
the hips and ribs, while it bore the marked
corrugation of the aligator's hide, seemed
soft and pliable, and was without scales.
He was born near Grenada, Miss, and had
gone to Kansas at the time of the famous
NEGRO exodus. "-St. Louis Republic.

that it could be made still greater
source of revenue than 1t. is at
present. 1t requires but little at
tention and lives and yields fruit
even when neglected. 1t only re-
quires grating and little digging
up and clearing out, and this done it
yields plentiful crop in return for the
small amount Of pains bestowed upon
it. The fellaheen say that the vine is
sitt-a delicate town lady who requires
great deal Of care and attention. The
fig, on the contrary, is fellaha-a
strong country woman. who can flourish
without such tender care; but the olive
tree is bold bedawje, who, in spite of
neglect and hardship, remains strong
and useful Arab wife.
The olives ripen toward the end of
summer; the trees are then beaten With
long sticks, care being taken not to
destroy the young leaves and shoots.
The fruit is collected and spread out on
the roofs or other convenient places, and
then put into heaps for little while in
order that it may slightly ferment, after
which it is taken to the oil press, where
it is crushed under heavy millstone
and, packed in little straw haskets, is
finally pressed. The oil tzayt) Rms
into little cemented cietern, from
which it ia drawn N leather bottles or
large earthen jars fo carrying away.
The fellah uses it both for light and
nourishment. Ifhe has nothing better he
consents to eat some bread soaked in oil.
1t is also used a great deal in town
cookery, but as means of light it has
been almost superseded by petroleum.
Much inferior olive oil is exported to
France and Italy. The lift, or refuse of
the oil. is used for fuel, having great
properties OF heat.-[Detroit Free Press.

Botanists In California.

California astonished the botanical world
long before it began to play much of a part
in politics or business. Nee, the botanist,'
was at San Diego and Monterey hundred
years ago, and his collections are still to be
seen at Madrid. DR.. Menzies, whose porto
lios are partly at Kew, partly at the British
museum, spent several seasons on the coast
a few years after Nee. David Douglas, one
of the most devoted and successful of boz
tanical explorers, reached the Pacific coast
in 1926 Nuttall sent his herbarium to
Harvard university. Pickering, Hartweg,
Coulter and others were early in the field.
None of them was more typical investi-
gators than the late DR.. G. c. Parry, who
first crossed the country with the Mexican
boundary commission. At intervals for
forty years after he was familiar figure

all sorts Of outdoor people from the Ari-
zona deserts to the Siskiyou pine forests

Afraid to Get n DriiIk.

A teacher comments upon the ease with
which habit may be broken up if the in
centive of fear or gain be strong enough.
The remark was prompted by her school
experience during the cholera episode.
Everybody knows that "to go and get a
drink" is the end and aim apparently of all
school children, and few teachers have
been able to combat the practice success
fully. Cholera, or the fear of cholera,
proved equal to the task. 1t was evident
for the first fortnight of school that an ex-
traordinary influence had been brought to
bear upon the pupils. In lieu of the con-
slant procession of thirsty children the
coolers stood idle and unsought.
Parents, for once in earnest. had i'm
pressed their small people with horror of
any but boiled water and had evidently
seriously warned them Of possible conse-
quences. Some children, unable to endure
the long abstinence, brought bottles Of
boiled water to school every day, keeping
them in their desks for occasional refresh
ment.-Her Point of View in New York

Argus Mountain Mines.

A recent special from Caliente says
George w. Stiles apd H. A. Mills, old
time miners, recently came in from the
Moiave desert loaded with very rich
specimens, taken from a new strike
which they recently discovered in the
Argus range of mountains. The ledge
displayed is s feet wide and assays $136
per ton in gold and also carries ellver.
The mine, which is named "Clare Belle"
is in the southern boundary of Inyo
county, eight miles from Mojave. Stiles
and Mills claim to have found the old
Argus mine, which was worked in the
year 1868, but was abandoned at that
time owing to the savage Indians.
The ledge which they claim to be the
Argus mine is 157 feet thick and 10000
tons of chloride silver ore is said to be
in sight which assays from $45 to 1886
per ton. The Argus mine was lost in
the early daye and has been hunted for
by miners the past 20 years, but until
recently has not been found. The In
dians in 1868 killed the miners who
were then working the rich prospect,
and they have held the country from
prospsctors to some extent. The old,
revengeful Indians having died, and the
younger remaining few have become 60
much civilized that prospectors are per-
mitted to penetrate that desolate and
rich gold-bearing region.

Something of Almonds.

The Tulare Register seems to be
happy over the fact that almonds can
be grown in that county at profit.
The almond is rather peculiar fruit.
1t seeks a home where there are few
changes in climate. 1t comes to the
surface early in the spring, and its
blossoms are the first to greet the sum
shine of the season. By this freak of
nature it dares the frosts that some
times follow the rains of February,
and is subjected to the dangers of being
''nipped in the bud" Notwithstanding
this it is hardy fruit, and, if properly
cultivated, produces largely after it ar
rives at that stage of perfection in age.
The Register says that trees on the
Chaplin ranch, only years old, were
gathered and sold at profit of cents
per pound net to the credit of the trees.
The orchard contains 1000 trees, and for
the first year 3100 pounds were pro-
duced. When the trees are one year
older they will bear double that amount.
There are several small almond or
chards in Ventura county, a few of
which are bearing, and no country can
produce more perfect and better speci.
men than the soft shell that may be
seen at the exhibit which has been Sc
lected for the worlds fair. They are
immense in size and the kernel ia full.
There is not much attention needed to
produce this fruit in this section, and
coil is not scarce. a little cultivation
and careful trimming constitutes the
bulk of the labor, and they are the
easiest to gather when ripe of any
species of fruit. They must be allowed
to get fully ripe, then spread a canvas
under the tree and shake the limbs and
the fruit falls. They must be hulled
with patent machine, after which they
are ready for the market. The outer
hull ia aasilv removed
