Prohibition Brings Prosperity.

Prohibition less taxes wages and
cheaper living. But if we had prohibition it would
throw great many out of work" "Yes, but it
would benefit the majority of the people. If had
a rainfall of shoes from the clouds, people
would say What grave calamity about per cent
of the people would be thrown out of work" Yes
that is but think of the 90 per cent of the people
who would be benefited Immediately. All the people
would get shoes for nothing, and 96 per cent of the
people would have so much more money to spend
which would mean greater demand in other bran
ches of trade, thus giving the per cent who were
thrown out of the shoe industry work So the
argument may be applied to the liquor traffic If the
saloons were closed about per cent of the people
would be thrown out of work. But if the 81 200 OOO
600 invested in other channels of trade it would
mean employment for the 2per cent who would be
thrown out of work, we'll every idle in the
United States This would mean grander opportu
mites for every man, woman and chd.-True Re-

A Funny Paper Talks Sense.

AS the church has never anywhere unit

clear that the majority of it's members not op
posed to the sale of liquor under certain restrctons
therefore it is not surprising that distinguished
clergyman of the Presbyterian Church and member
of the faculty of Princeton University should have
signed petition for liquor license for Princeton
Inn. If the church were unit against the saloon,
such thing would be scandal. But so long

Votes Will Do 1t.

Chairman Stewart, of Illinois, states great truth
in these words How did the money question get to
the front? Was it not the fact that about million
of voters broke away from the old parties and
ganized the Populist party? The Democrats said,
we'll pick up that question and capture million
of voters; it is only hope of winning The Repub
licans sad have got to meet this free silver

the tariff was made the leading issue. You see it
did not take majority of the voters to make the
money question the dominant issue. Let million
of men walk up the polls next year and vote for
prohibition, and just the shines at
midday at the next election it would be saloon and
anti-saloon. Then would prohibition sentiment find
expression as it does not today.

Concerning Typhoid Fever.

Eds. Record Union" On the 18th
of March a statement appeared in the
Bee" based upon the authority or
prominent physician, that the report
of the Health Department. showing
that but two cases of typhoid fever
had been reported during the month Of
February. was worthless, and that
there were then two hundred cases of
typhoid fever in the city of Sacra-
mento. Subsequently the physician in
question said ''he based this estimate
upon the number of typhoid patients
which he had and the number of ply
sicians in the city"
Believing that these statements, as
far as could be ascertained by cur
sorry investigation, were widely at
variance with the facts. and that their
publication was calculated to work
serious injury to the city, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health directed
me to make a careful canvass with a
view of ascertaining the actual con-
dition of affairs.
This was accordingly done between
March 18th and March 18th. The basis
taken was contained in the issue OF
March 10th. eases in their incipiency,
cases which had reached their danger
point (active cases. cases that We're
convalescent'
This is, of course, manifestly unfair
as it classes as leases of typhoid fe-
yer" those in their 'incipiency," which
may not really be so. Again. as typhoid
fever is a disease of long and tedious
convalescence, it increases the figures
by making it possible to bring in those
existing during a previous month.
However, proceeding upon that basis,
every licensed physician in the city was
called upon with the following results:
Cases of typhoid fever now in ex-
lSIence .....-. TX
Cases of fever that it is believed
will prove to be typhoid. ...... 9
Cases of typhoid now convalescent is
1otdl .......... 90
OF these one physician reports eight,
another twelve and one other ten;
others from one to three-a large num-
Der Of physicians having no cases Of
typhoid fever under treatment
In no instance was any refusal met
with in obtaining this information.
Many physicians, however. stated their
belief that there were but few cases
of genuine typhoid fever in the city
These figures, which obtained at a
later date than those of the Bee" cor
/ respondent, do not materially affect the
result, as inquiry at this time shows
that the conditions have not greatly
altered. Respectfully,

HINTS 70 ATHLETES.
Suggestions About Training and Keeping g
the Body in Good Condition.

Never continue exercise long enough to
produce fatigue. Stop when you feel tired.
Don't overeXert yourself to gain mus
Gle. Remember that every muscle has its
limits beyond which it cannot be devel-
oped.
Indian clubs are the most effective for
giving one grace, ease and accuracy OF
movement, features which every athlete
should strive to cultivate
Bicycling has become a popular exer-
else and undoubtedly furnishes, in addi-
ton to muscular development, great ex-
hilaraton.
Dumb bells, if properly used, strengthen
the muscles of the arms and incidentally
those of the body and legs. They also
| expand the chest and broaden the shoul-
ders.
After exercise a cool shower spray or
| bath should be taken, not TO last more
than one or two minutes and should be
followed by a brisk rub to tone up the
system and encourage the circulation of
the blood Some pure stimuant should
also be used. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky
| is used by prominent athletes for this
purpose and is highly recommended.
1t should be noted however, that only
pure and medicinal malt like Duffy S
VIII be of service. Ordinary whisky will
not answer the purpose and you should
be certain TO secure the genuine.
