From the fact that much of the evil
flowing from local option is traceable to
the second-class license, some of the
newspapers base an argument against
a system of state control. They allege
that selling by the bottle to be taken
away is more productive of drunkenness
than serving by the glass to be drunk
on the premises. They maintain that
more cases of intoxication come from
second-class stores than from saloons.
They, are probably correct in this, but
such premise does not lead one to the
conclusion that if all selling were done
by persons who were not pecuniarily in
terested in increasing their sales the
same or worse results would follow.
The patron of the second-class store
who is now heard from in the police
court is also commonly patron of the
first. class store. He hoists in about all
he can carry there and then winds up on
a bottle procured at the other place
The combination does not work well.
A single source of supply could regulate
the amount dispensed much better. 1t
will not for a moment be conceded that
a man whose profits depend on the
amount he sells, either by the bottle or
glass. will be as discreet as one who is
paid for his time only and whose interest
lie rather in dispensing the minimum,
instead of the maximum, amount. The
second-class store under the existing law
cannot be made to serve as a "horri-
BILE example" of what state dispensary
would be under public control. a
much better parallel was the well-con-
Quoted agency under the prohibtory
law, which, in spite of the general abuse
of the theory back of it, was really
responsible for very little drunkenness.
The financial scandals that brought the
agency system into disrepute were the
direct product of divided authority and
the opportunity offered for many men
so disposed to use their power corruptly
, with little chance of detection. Under
proper state CONTROL this danger could
be greatly reduced: we will not claim it
could be absolutely banshed. Even the
federal postal system has been used by
scoundrels to their own enrichment,
yet because of few abuses like that

The underlying principal of State con-
troll is the elimination of all private gain

How to Make Good Butter In Sum-

There are many farms with a few
cows, or perhaps only one, which are
not convenient to a city, with ice an
impossible luxury and where for this
reason the housewife believes she can
not make good butter in summer time.
But even then good butter can be
made if one knows how to meet adj
verse conditions and will take the nee
essary trouble, says writer in the
Sunny South. One prime requisite, of
course, is cleanliness. There should be
enough milk vessels so that they need
not be all used constantly. If possible
there should be vessels empty and air.

The milk vessels should be rinsed out
and thoroughly cleaned with tepid wa
ter before scalding. for hot water
would otherwise cook the milk into the
crevices, when it would be difficult to
remove.
A good way is to rinse out each tin
with cold water and then thoroughly
scrub it inside and out with Il gener
GUS supply of warm water. After which
treatment scald each piece with boil
ing water.
Without ice it is quite necessary to
churn every day in warm weather.
keeping the milk in the coolest place,
which is never in the kitchen.
Skim the mornings milk and mix the
cream with the nights milk, and it will
be "set" and ready to churn next morn
ing.
The churning must be done early
by sunrise in fact. The cream is then
at the right temperature, and the butter
will be as firm and nice as one could
wish.
By swinging the dish of butter with
a stout cord drawn into the well it will
remain cool and the butter hard enough
to slice.

STRONG HOLD ON LIFE
Statistics Which Go to Show That
Londoners Do Not Die Early.
Marriages Are Fewer Than Formerly,
Due. to Young People Wishing to
+ Enjoy, Comfort and In
dependence.

The. lowest birth rate in London
since registration began; the lowest
marriage rate since 1895; the lowest
death rate since 1S4O-such is the
story told by the somewhat belated
report of the medical officer of health
for the county of London for the
year 1901. .-. p.
The figures are: Births, 131, 278, or
800 per 1000 of the living population;
marriages, 40,O1O, or 17.6 per 1000;
deaths, 1868, or I'LL per 1000.
The report shows that the number
OF persons occupying tenements of
one room is considerably less, while
there is a great increase in the pro-
portion of the population occupying
three and four rooms.
+ The conjunction of this fact with
the decreased death rate is signif-
cant. The low marriage rate is as
cribed to desire among young peo-
pie to live in comfortable apart
ments, and consequent delay in get
ting married until such can be OBJ
tanned.
A comparison of the death rate in
London with those of other English
towns discloses the fact that the
metropolis had lower death rate
than any of these centers excepting
Bristol and Leicester.

MENTAL TELEPATHY,
Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst De-
clares His Belief in the, Myste-
riOus Manifestation,

Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst declared
his belief in mental telepathy in his
sermon on a recent Sunday. After re-
ferring to the cable and Marconi's
wireless telegraphy, he said: "By and
by, probably, we shall be able to think
across the water without going to the
trouble and expense of setting up ap-
paratus at even the shore ends of the
route. For mental telepathy is al
ready a demonstrable fact, when ex-
ercised by certain individuals.
''The fact that tn ought may be COM
municated from one brain to another
without material connection is the
vital fact to consider. Two men in the
same room may communicate their
thoughts to each other by telepathy
or whatever you may call it. This is
well known, as is the fact that longer
distances have been covered in the
same way. This is very weird field
when you stop to think of it, and I
must say that I never have personally
put the question to the test. But I
have given much thought to the sub
ject of telepathy or drought transfer
ence or hypnotism or whatever it NAV
be called. for many years, and am
waiting patiently a further develop
ment." a.,-,. .,-

clares People Known as Such
Are Really Armenians.

At joint meeting of the Ameri-

Maurice Fishberg, a well-known an

which he made the declaration that
there was no such thing as a Hebrew
race and that Hebrews were not de-
scended from Abraham, Isaac and ia
cob, but We're in reality Armenians.
"The Arians,' he said, "were, up to
quite recently, considered to be
race on account of their linguistic
affinities, although in the light of
modern meteorological research we
know that there is no such thing as
an Aryan race"
After citing opinions on the origin
of the Semites, DR.. Fishberg adj
vanced the theory that they were diff
ferentiated from other races in Afri-
ca, and not in Asia, as was generally
believed to be the case, and reviewed
the physical characteristics of an
Gent and modern Semites.

Renovated Butter.

The renovated butter business has in
creased more than 1000 per cent in
Minnesota during the past six months.
There were $1,000 pounds of the pro-
duct manufactured in the state in July,
1902, but since that time the business
has increased, until in December $751;
474 pounds were made. The output
since July 1 has been 2,Os4, 952 pounds.
The manufacturer of renovated but
ter, under the oleomargarine law,
which went into effect July 1. 1902,
must pay a tax of one-fourth of cent
on every pound produced. Although
there were eight or nine renovated
butter factories in the state when the
law went into effect, only one manu-
featured any of the butter during July.
Another factory took up the making
of the butter in August, and the out
put for that month was more than
three times that of July. There are
now six factories in the state-two in
St. Paul, two in Minneapolis and two
at Duluth-and all are doing an i'm
