ked.
Where the Danger Lies.
NO. That cannot be. although
passing near or directly over them,
because the spring water comes
through the ground with such force
that the germs could not possibly
penetrate into the source thirty feet
below the level. The great danger
does not lie there however. The
stream flows directly through great
patches of water cress which many
people of the city are in the halJit of
eating, and which makes very pail
table dish when eaten raw. but in
case the dump is allowed to grow the
germs therefrom will go down the
stream, and will naturally be obsorb-
ed by the wat&r cress, and many peo-
pie unl1nowirtgly or thoughtlessly will
eat of the plant and thereby be sub
jected to those pathogenic germs,
coming from the pile of refuse Then
again. the water from the stream
flows into the lake where the BOYS

a great deal of the water or get il in

Are there any other reasons why
the dump should be prohibited" was
asked.
Yes, the dump cannot be com
pleted for several months and

of the city and to the visitors at the

Yes. decidedly So continued the
physician, just so soon as the dirt is
placed over the refuse, it only goes
to prolong the life of the germs.
Darkness is one of the requisites for
the long life of pathogenic germs and

comMoDorE JOHN BARRY.

Represensstive James T. McCieary. OF
Minnesota. Chairman Of the Committee
ON the Library. has introduced bill,
and Is pressing 1t. to erect a monument
to Commodore John Barry, the father
OF the American Navy Commodore
Barry was born In the County OF Wex-
ford. Ireland, 1745. and bred a seaman.
The records show him in f766 as Cap
tain of a schooner clearing from Phila-
delphia. He appears to have been a
prominent master of that port. and
when the Continental Congress resolved
to fit out two cruisers Capt. Barry was
placed in command of the larger of the
two. He won the first victory of our
Navy in the capture of a prize. which
he brought into Philadelphia. He cap
tured some armed vessels from Great
Britain, and rendered good service in
transporting the Continental army
across the Delaware to win the victories
OF Trenton and Princeton. 1t was he
who devised the plan OF sending kegs
filled with gunpowder down into the
British fleet at Philadelphia. With 81
men in open rowboats he captured the
British war vessel Alert. of 10 guns,
with four conveys, and took more than
$50 prisoners. The stores, that were
captured were sent to Washington at
Valley Forge. and Capt. Barry received
his thanks. Later Barry was placed in
command of the Alliance. the best ship
ever owned by the Continental Con-
gress, and was sent to convey our Com
missioner to France. On the way back
Barry fought brilliant battle. in which
he captured the British vessels Atlanta
and Trepassy. Sept. 81. 1881, Wash
ington placed Barry in command of the
whole Navy of the Colonies, and he
continued I'm that position until the end
of the war. In October. 1881, he wa,
sent to carry Lafayette back to France.
and had the honor of fighting the last
naval battle of the Revolution, in which
he whipped the British frigate La Sy-
billa. He took prizes into French ports.
which sold for s2.S00,000. Upon the
establishment of the independence OF
the Colonies President Washington ap-
pointed him the Senior Captain of the
Navy. and he remained in that position
until his death In Philadelphia. Sept 10.
1893 He was buried In st. Mary's
Churchyard. Philadelphia, and the epi-
taph upon his tomb was written by DR..
Benjamin Rush. one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence.
The National tribune., 1906-06-07

The temperance cause in Germany
has received signal assistance in the
report of the German physicians that
beer was the cause of the poor show
ing the Germans made at Athens in
competition with American and Eng
lish athletes. They say outright what
every observing man I'm this country
knows, that a beer drinker can never
have the taut, hard muscles and flesh
and the steel-like springiness which
characterize the abstemious American
athletes. Beer produces fat of a very
low grade. and particularly affects the
heart. which is, above all. the organ
which the athlete must have in primest
condition. While whisky is bad for
any man, and at any time, beer is much
worse. Bodily condition deteriorates
more rapidly under beer drinking than
whisky drinking. Many whisky drink
ers live to be old men, but exceedingly
few beer drinkers.
The National tribune., 1906-06-07
THE NATIONS DRINK BILL.

Instead of the struggle against intem-
perance being relaxed the facts that
are developed by the statisticians i'm
perativeiy demand that efforts TO curb
the ravages of the Drink Devil should
be strengthened and made effective to
the extent of the ability of every one
who wishes well for his feliowman.
While seemingly the American people
are becoming more Sober. yet 1t Is un-
deniable that the consumption of liquors
is rapidly increasing. The American
Grocer, which cannot be considered
either an aiarmist or prohibitionist,
makes this startling summing up of its
investigations az TO the relations of the
amounts paid out for alcoholics and
those expended for tea, coffee, and
cocoa: ~ 80 -sS
"since 1901 the cost has risen from
s1.273,212,3 3s6 to Si,54S, ,708, ,307 in 1906,
cent. The. population for the same
period advanced from 77.647.000 to
SO, ,143, 900. an addition Of 5.496,000. Or
6 " per cent.
1.-The statements presented show an
increase in the use of malt liquor and
such milder StimuiantS as tea and coffee
and slight decrease in the use of spir-
ituous liquors as compared with 1904,
their use during the past three years
| showing gain of 2H per cent; that of
beer per cent.
The per capita expenditure for all
kinds of stimulating beverages for the
year ending June 80, 1905, as estimated
by the American Grocer. was s1S.63, or
$93.15 for each family of five persons.
The per capita cost of tea. coffee and
cocoa was S2.6S. against $15.95 for al
coholic stimnlants. In 1904 the cost was
S270 for non-alcoholic drinks, against
s15.63 for alcoholic beverages.
1.-The total drink bill is one-fourth of
the total estimated production of the
cotton, wheat corn, hay. tobacco crops
and every other product OF, farms, or
chards. cattle ranches. dairies and eveTyy.
other agricultural industry. 1t amounts
to one-eighth of the Nations total ex-
penditure for food.
During the past 20 years the per
capita use of spirits shows little varia-
ton. 1t is no larger now than in 1888
S4. Since then it has risen to 1.52 gal
Ions, fallen as low as 1.01 gallons, and
shows an average of 1.30 gallons an
nually for 20 years. On the other hand.
the use of beer has risen from 1862
gallons per capita to 1850 gallons, the
statement showing a steady increase in
| its popularity as a beverage
Bringing together into one statement
the cost to consumers of all beverages.
