ment, made a careful investigation into
the effect Of the canteen upon the health
of enlisted men, The result more than
met the expectations of those most in
terested in the promotion of temperance
in the military service.
He finds that the percentage OF de-
SertiOn has been continuously reduced
since the Introduction of the canteen.
Prior to its introduction assertions av-
eraged from 10 to IL per cent. annually.
Since its establishment these have de-
creased as follows. First year, to II;
the next year, to 81; the next, ST; then
to ga, and finally to 20. Further, the
number of trials and convictions for
drunkenness and OffenSeS originating
thereform for the six years preceding
the canteen was 372.5 These decreased
during the following six years of its es-
Establishment to 1.6. Further, seven years
preceding the establishment of the can
teen the average number of men who
deposited their savings with the gov
eminent was 1878. For the seven years
following it's introduction the average
has increased to 1882.
1T has been stated in the public press
that the receipts of the exchange are
nearly all for drink
1.-The official reports of the depart
ment show that the receipts from sales
of beer and light wines are and have
been less than one-third of the gross
receipts being in 1898 five-sevenths and
in 1895 six-seventeenths. Taking the
amount OF the gross receipts on ac-
count of the sale of beer and dividing
it by the total number of officers and
men shows that each officer and enlisted
man for the year 1898 expended on ac-
count of beer only 20 cents a month,
equivalent to four glasses of beer per
month, or less than one glass a week
apiece for each officer and man in the
military service. In 1899 the expendi-
ture on the part of each officer and man
reached an average Of So cents per
month, or but 1.9 cents a day. These
facts make il clear that in COMPARE
son with all other citizens the army
of today is the most abStemious body in
our country. There is no community
of which we have report that shows as
small consumption of drink per capita
This average should, in fact, appear
much lower, for the reason that citizen
employees, of which we have taken no
account, have the privilege of purchas-
ing from the canteen. The number OF
clerks, mechanics and teamsterS en-
ployed with an army in the field is, as
you know, very large. This number,
however, is not obtainable, but would
very materially reduce the average OF
20 and so cents a. month.
1.-The anxiety of temperance people
outside the service about the army is
unwarranted. AS compared with those
existing 20 and 80 years-or with any
community at the present time any
where in civil life-the army is a. model
temperance society, a practical one;
one where reasonable abstinence is the
rule, and where excuses are the excep-
ton; a society whose precepts no less
than its example could be followed by
all people in safety and sobriety-

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning
of a Familiar W Grid.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "Iack
Of ease, uneasinesb, trouble, VEGA
ton, disquiet." 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast major-
ity of TIE "dis-ease" from which
people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood sSarsapsrilla which
puri6es, ehricheS and vitalizeS the
blood. Hoods SarsaparlIla cures
scrofula, salt rheuin, pimples and
all eruptiOns. 1t tones the stom-
ach aud creates a good appetite;
and it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body. 1t reverseS the
condition of things, giving health,
comfort aud lease" in place Of
"disease."

smaller mines and mills The production
in 1898 was 81, 49,, 670 the increase for 1899

the 1900 production will be at the lowest
figures, $15, OO0, 900. If this happens, South
Dakota will jump ahead Of California and
will be next to Colorado in the gold pro-
ducing states. Already the Denver min

the Burlington railroad to build its line
across from Denver to the hills. The
increase of gold production in the hills

is increased emigration to the hills, which
