REVENUE FROM DRINKS.
Sale of Liquor Monopoly Of the Rus

The United States received last year
S13i 100000 of public revenues from the tax
on spirits and s47. OOO.OO from the tax on
beer, a total of SITS, 10000
The Russian government estimates at

sale Of liquor. which is a monopoly of the
imperial government, except in Siberia,

In Great Britain the revenue from ex-

The actual contribution of the liquor
trade to the income Of the state is even

there are local as we'll national taxes.

ART OF KEEPING COOL
SOME sEASoNABLE SUGGESTIONS
AS TO DIET AND APPAREL.
Use Discretion in Choice Of Food and

Alcohol.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
If the discomfort and suffering which re-
suit from excessive heat are not so great
this summer as they have been in certain
exceptional years. they are severe enough
to force themselves upon public attention.
and to justify the adoption Of all available
means for securing relief therefrom. For
turately. few hot waves endure more than
three or four days at time. Nature re-
Tents at intervals. and gives sweltering hu-

ought to remember where the warmth
comes from. Part of this is produced In
side the body. The animal organism Is an
engine Food is fuel burned in its fur
naces. II the quantity be large and the
kinds be unwiseiy chosen, there will be
surplus of heat Far less food is needed in
summer than in winter. Hence one OF the
most important precautions to be observed
at this time of year is to limit the diet al
most exclusively to fruits and vegetables.
taking little or no meat. In regard TO
drinks. much can be left to the individual
taste. but the use of iced beverages In any
considerable quantity is Objectionable for
more reasons than one. They check dlGeS-
ton. chill the stomach. and tend to set up
congestion in other organs. Moreover. In
many cases a very cold drink has the effect
of asgravating thirst. Often more lasting
refreshment will be derived from cup of
warm tea than from a glass OF iced tea.
Lemonade. milk, coffee and such beverages
arc more beneficial IL their temperature Is
between % and 70 degrees than II below No.
Humidity ~ Factor.

rarely gives an accurate indication OF is
intensity. There are several reasons for
the failure. One Is that humidity Is varf-
able factor. and its amount Is not indicated
by an ordinary dry bulb instrument Cool
ing IS erected Dy evaporation from the
SKIN. Inc rate of evaporation depends upon
the amount of invisible vapOr already SuS-
pended in the air. When Saturation is near
" reached the atmosphere refuses to take
up any more moisture from any source
not even to accommodate the most desery-
ing persons. Again, heat is often reflected
from walls and paveynents in such man
ner as to raise the temperature in the shade
several degrees higher than in perfectly
sheltered spot like the interior of house

frequently twenty or thirty degrees higher

A Tonic for Old People
Adds Years to Life, Puts Life Into
Years-Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve
Food, the Great Blood and Flesh
Maker, Brain and Nerve Tonic

Keeps you from growing old by
keeping up your vital forces. When
the human machinery begins to wear
out, people grow old and go into de-
cline and decay, the blood becomes
thin and watery, the circulation poor,
and the nerve forces shattered and
weak, showing that certain essential
elements of life are being exhausted
from the blood and nerves. The ex-
haustion usually begins with cold and
numb hands and feet. The stomach.
bowels and bladder lose their power,
often becoming partially, if not
wholly, paralyzed. You grow weak
and feeble and your vital forces so
low that you begin to see that your
health is being undermined. DR..
Chase's Blood and Nerve Food in
creases the action of the heart and
the circulation of the blood, and
builds up the system by replacing the
same substances to the blood and
nerves that have been worn out

JOE LANE REFUSED TO BE
MARCHED TO TOP OF HILL
At the Head of the Local Republican
Army-Flag Raising With Main
Feature Omitted.

The fiag-raising and rally of the
Seventh ward republicans last evening
was a disappointment TO many OF
those present who had expected to be
Mr. Lane was not present, and his
place was filled by w. ~ Meese, of
Moline.
The flag bearing the names of the
republican candidates was raised in
front of the Doering saloon on Four
teenth avenue and ThiTty-eighth
street, in the presence of quite a gath
ering of children and the flambeau
marching club. The first and princi
pal address of the evening was made
by l.. NJ. Magill. the candidate for rep
resentative. who talked for 90 min
utes on his record in the state legis
!ature, and the condition of the cam
paign for representative in this dis
trict. Mr.. Magill referred to his stand
in the house on the WatertOwn hos
pital appropriation. the school text
book law, the compulsory primary law,
the civil service bill, the resolutions
regarding the election of United States
senators by direct vote, the union la
Dor law. the compulsory arbitration
law, the child labor bill. and the bill
requiring the state to employ union
labor wherever practicable
Mr. Magill very strongly urged
straight party votes, and warmly com
mended the socialists for their loyal
spirit in voting for the principal and
not the men, and recited history to
show that to allow an independent
candidate 10 be sent TO the legislature
might endanger the interests of the
party at the time when a United States
senator is to be elected. Mr. Magil
told of his intimate connection with
Eugene V. Debs, the socialist candi-
date for president, during the Chicago
railway strike, and said he had been
dismissed from his position because
he was too active in promoting the
strikers interests.
At the conclusion of Mr. Magill's
address a short talk was given by w.
A. Meese of Moline. The main point
made in Mr.. Meese's address was
that young man should form good
associations, especially politically. and
he then gave arguments intended to
show that good associations were nee
essarily republican. J. F. Witter then
addressed the crowd, taking the leg
islative candidates as his theme. and
very warmly praising Mr.. Magill and
Dr. Reynolds for their political
achievements. J. K. Scott made an
address on the county fight. and with
a few cheers the rally was adjourned.
G. Wash McCaskrin fioated a flag
last evening at Twelfth street and
Seventh avenue. He claims that he
had bigger audience than the repub-
licans had on Fourteenth avenue He
is to have another fiag-raising tonight
at Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street.
