take the ground that the use OF any
thing containing alcohol Is sinful and

then the question might arise whether
the state could interfere with the In
dlvlduai conscience. The great ma
torlty OF the good and wise men the
world over, men whose characters are
respected, and men whose opinions are
likewise respected. do not consider the
use Of alcoholic drink In itself either
sinful or criminal. There can be no
question about the side ON which the
wisdom and intelligence OF the worlds
greatest and best men is enlisted In
this matter. Here and there wise
man may be found who Is In favor OF
prohibition. but these are the excep-

VALUE OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Prodigious Amount Of Money Invest
I'd In Agriculture in the
United States.

II the average city man were asked
how he thought the price Of domestic
animals In the United States compared
with the market values = year ago. he
would doubtless think first Of the cost
of meat. Then. says the Cleveland
Leader. he would remember that auto
mobiles were much more In evidence
than they we're IL months back In the
history Of the motor carriage business.
He could not be expected to have more
than dim and uncertain notions Of the
price Of sheep. which 10 greatly affected
by the market for wool.
So the average town-dweller would
be likely to guess that cattle were II
least as high ~ they were year ago.
He would have the same opinion a. to
hogs and he would think Of what the
butcher asks for lamb and mutton, and
put sheep tn the same class. He might
estimate the average price OF horses
somewhat less than II Was at the be-
ginning Of 1908.
Once year the American ASrucultur-
alist. weekly paper devoted to farm
interests. takes much pains to ascertain
the market value OF domestic animals
In the United States and the changes
which have taken place In the II
months preceding. This winter its hg-
ures seem to prove that the natural
guess Of the city man would b. wrong
In all respects.
Cows kept for milk are about 5N per
cent. cheaper. Other cattle are report
ed to average 10 per cent. less In mar
ket value than = year ago. Hogs are
lost IN yer cent. OF their market price.
But horses are rated six per cent. more
than they were last winter.
1t IL clear that the automobile has
not hurt the market for horses In any
such sense az might have kept the ad-
vance from being as great a. It would
otherwise have been. As for the de-
cline In the price OF farm animals used
for human food aud the lack OF any
corresponding change in the cost OF
meat to consumers. that 10 q sore point

consider carefully what they buy. II
the great packing companies and the
retail dealers In meats have any good

DROWNING A QUICK DEATH.
Even Expert Divers Cannot Remain

to remain under water for over two

Democrat. No one can remain under
water that long without drowning.

At Navarino. where the sponge divers
are reported TO be able 70 remain un-

were made recently and resulted con-

show every speck Of dust. Even books
could not make her waver. although
she is an Unsuitable reader.

To Restore the Sphinx.

A project is on foot in Alexandria for

accumulations OF sand. 1t is proposed to
clear all these accumulattons away and to
clean the head completely. When the
work has been completed the Sphinx will
once more appear. II not in Its drst
