passed by the Legislature of Maine abso-
Iutely rohibltlng the liquor traffic.
The advantage of this law became so
manifest that the demand became general
for similar laws IN the other States.
THE liquor traffic mas assumed alarm
ing proportions. During the last fifty
years the consumption per capita has in
creased twice as fast as the populat ion.
The United STATES Brewers Association
was organized In 1862 and during the first
twenty-eight years OF its existence the
quantity of beer brewed increased from
1000, 600 to $4,000, 600 barrels. Since 1882
the quantity OF beer consumed has doubled.
The English syndicate has already in
vested over $50. 000.0 600 in American brew
cries. Some of the bTeweries have paid Is
per cent annual dividend, and only one
less than 10 per cent.
THE Organized whisky ring is quite as
carefully disciplined for practical purposes
and quite as arrogant as the beer power.
lt is ably represented in Washington BY
skilled lobbyists and unlimited resources,
and II has special representatives in both
houses of Congress. In Virginia there
are from 1900 to 400 brandy diStilleries, in
North Carolina there are 500 whisky distil-
leres. many of which are Illicit. or moon
shine" distillerieS, run without any bond
at all.
1.-The winemakers have not yet taken
rank with the whisky men and brewers.
They are growing at a rate sufficient to
alarm taxpayers. They have increased the
prodActio Of domestic wines from 1.OOO.-
coo gallons in 1860 to 50, 100000 gallons in
1888.
From recent statistics furnished by the
United States census office, we find 50. 800
persons in prison, 1905 paupers in aims
houses, 45, 233 ronvicts, 1886 in juven lie re-
fnrmatories, 1886 charged with murder.
81. $50 insane. This shows an increase of
"a per cent in the number of cases of in
sanity in the last ten years.
The entire expense of running the Gov
eminent in all its branches, including
pensions and interest on the national
debt. is So per capita. The annual cost of
spirits, wine and beer to consumers is now
S15 per head-three times the amount of

almost impossible co sell anything without liberal
and persistent advertising. But no amount of ID

featured article in the world more extensively or
more favorabiy known than Hoods SarsapariIIa
which has been appropriately termed The King
of Medicines" And yet the motto OF the pro-
prietors OF Hoods Sarsaparila is, at is not what
we say but what II Gods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story" The vast amount of advertising
matter published In the newspapers OF the coun-
try BY c. l. Hood d Co. consists almost wholly of
this STORY" OF what Hoods SarsaparHia has
done. and the secret OF the great success of this
medicine is that it is honestly prepared an hon

desired for the worst cases. Do not let it 90

once and have done for you in the next few
months what might not be possible the next

A majority OF patients will only put them
selves under treatment at the season of the
year when they are suffering actual pain and
distress, namely, during the winter season
when at times it is almost impossible 10 do any
thing for them on account of the changeable
weather; then, as soon as the warm weather
comes and the imme date distressing symptoms

HYDE CORRECTED.
He Appears Before the Board With
Figures Which the Chief Said
Were Exaggerated.

The Board of Fire Commissioners issued
an order last night that will fill the men,
bers of the department with dismay. 1t
has long been the custom of their suboTdi-
mates to take a very active part in the
proceedings of primaries and other gather
ings in which the practical politician finds
a field for the display of his peculiar tai
ents, and does yeomen's work for the boss
at whose heels he loves to linger. But the
Commissioners have declared that the
fireman who is seen at any of the primary
meetings that are soon to be held will be
summarily dismissed.
Commissioner Bowen is responsible in
part for the order He, Edwards and Me
Donald were the only members of the
board who were present, and toward the
close of the meeting he arose and read a
tyne written resolution that all fremen
shall remain in the houses of their COM
panies from II o'clock on the night prior
to the day on which primaries are held
until the polls are closed. The resolution
was adopted without discussion and the
Chief was instructed to notify his sub
ordinates that any departure from the rule
thus established will be punished by dis

cation was given permission to address the
board. He came, lie said, to urge them TO
withdraw their opposition to the building
of wooden addition to the Com mereial
High School. 1t was true, he admitted,
that the school was Just within the fire
limits, but the Board of Education had
only $4,000 to pay for the extension and
that was not enough to build an addition
of brick. The addition, he explained,
would be a rough, barn-lke structure
three stories high and would be used for
the accommodation OF $50 scholars for
whom there is now no room in the high
schools.
Mr.. hyde read list of citizens to whom
the Board of Supervisors. on the recon-
mendatiOn of the commissioners. had
granted permission TO erect wooden build
lngs, in violation Of the ordinance. He
thought that if the board had so favored
private citizens. il could not properly re-
fuse the request of the public.
MANY of Mr.. Hyde's statements about
the privileges granted to private citizens
are exaggerated" Chief Sullivan retOrted
l opposed those privileges, every one of
them, and | have opposed the request OF
the Board OF Education for permission to
erect this dangerous building"
Mr.. Hyde waited expertautly for few
moments. hoping that the board would
act upon his petition, but he was civlly
informed that they would talk it over some

Its Distinguishing feature is that the
present motive of the individual dealer to
sell the largest possible quantity Of liQuor

only a small income and the surplus profits

is supported in this policy by his hacker,
who is often brewer anxious to swell his
output. In the Scandinavian countries
the corporation has no incentive to sell
large quantities, and its emplOye not only
has nothing to gain but everything to lose
by pursuing this policy, since he is paid
regular salary and foIfelts his place IL he
breaks the regulations.
