GRAVE CAUSE FOR ALARM.
sickness" j. on the Increase in Montcalm
County at "A Rapid Rate.

According to the Montcalm Herald
sickness" is on the increase in the
local option county at rapid rate, and
il is feared, that as the warm weather of
summer comes on and thirst increases
also, there will soon not be we'll
person in the whole county. The pro-
visions of the local option law require
each druggist to file with the prosecut-
ing attorney each week sworn state
ment Of their liquor sales. In the coun.
ty there are 20 druggists and their re.
ports for the week ending May II show
that the sale of medicine" increased 20
per cent, therefore we are to believe
that sickness" has increased in the
same ratio. The number of sales Of in
toxicating liquors for the week were re-
ported as 1898. This is an increase of
2SS sales over the previous week, or
more than 20 per cent. There were 964
quarts of beer sold, an increase OF 1923
quarts more than was sold the week be-.
fore. There were 9S4 pints of liquor
and wine sold, an increase of 297 pints
more than was sold the week previous.
1t is conservatively estimated that a
pint Of liquor is equal to at least eleven
average sized drinks as sold over the bar,
and that quart of beer will make five
average sized glasses of beer as served
in a saloon. According to these figures,
the drug stores OF Montcslm county sold
that week l0,4l7 drinks OF liquor and
1890 glasses OF beer

AN ISLAND WHICH
IS LOSING ITSELF

BERLIN. May 27.-Heligoland, the
historic little island in the North
sea, Is fast wearing away and will
soon be blotted out altogether. Mel
son captured 1t for the English in
1907 and 1t was used as headquarters
for smuggling goods into the CONT
nent in violation of Napoleons edicts.
England held 1t until 1890. when she
coded it to Germany in return for
substantial concessions in East Afri-
ca. Now it appears that Germany
got very bad bargain.
Only recently it was reported from
Heligoland that considerable masses
of land had fallen into the sea dur
ing the winter storms and the kaiser
visited the island to see for himself
what effect this was likely to have
on the Qualifications His majesty
evidently regarded the situation as
serious, for shortly afterward a num-
Der of government officials crossed
