Did you ever think how much more
pleasant Il would be to work twelve
months in the year than 10 work six
and spend the other six looking for
new place for the next year? With
the coming OF statehood there will be
great demand for competent book
keepers and stenographers, and young
men and ladies' who are qualified to
teach can find ready employment as
bookkeepers and stenographers and
make better salaries and secure po-
sltions that last twelve months in the

The taking of testimony IN the case
Of Capt W. II. Matthews and Lieut. J.
L Mullhall, charged with conduct unDe-
coming an officer, was resumed this az
ternoon in the gymnasium OF the FIRST
precinct stRtion.
The case was adjourned yesterday I'M
til this afternoon, owing to the fact
that Attorney Charles Bendhelm, repre-
senting the Brotherhood OF Engineers,
which is pressing the charges against
the two policemen. had an important
case at the Alexandria county court
hOilse and could not appear this morn
ing Attorney Burke, who Ii associated
with Mr. Bendheim, this morning said
that the board probably viii be In ses-
sion about three hours this afternoon
and an adjournment VIII then be taken
until Monday
The trial board VIII have the regular
routine cases tomorrow. MI Burke
stated that the prosecution sul had
about fifteen or sixteen witnesses 10 De
heard.
Attorney Easby-Smith, representing
the accused policemen, says the deTense
will have about twenty witnesses and
Capt. Matthews and his brother oft1cer
will also go on the stand.
The taking of testimony and argu-
ments OF counsel probably will carry
the case through the whole of next
week.

More Beer, Less
Strong Drink.
Temperance Workers See Signs OF
Progress In Increased Sales
of Reer.

Active temperance workers say the
greatly increased consumption or beer
IN this country is good sign of prog
ress toward real temperance. II shows
that beer, a healthful beverage, is fast
taking the place OF strong alcoholic
drinks.
Anti-SalOon LeaPue. one OF the best
known temperance workers, says the
great increase in the consumption or
beer does not show any falling on in
temperance sentiment Indeed. 1t Is
proof OF more real temperance senu-
meut that ever before existed in this
country. Interviewed by Cleveland
newspaper. Superintendent Williamson
said:
1T is doubtless true that there have
been l6O, 900, coo more gallons of beer
consumed during the past year than
ever before. There is a steady decrease
ia the Ger sumption OF splriJuous liquors.
such as brandy whiskey and wine. and
a tendency TO drink more malt liquors.
such as beer. The decrease Is doubtless
as marked in the one as is the increase
in the other. Never before has temper
ance sentiment had such a strong grip
on the people. l do not think there Is
any cause for Worry because the beer
consumption has jumped
Superintendent Williamson takes the
| logical view, for statistics prove that
when a community or state or ma
ton drinks more beer II drinks less
LIQUOR. This is important because beer
is beneficial TO the health, a nutritious
and strengthening food drink The
small percentage Of alcohol in beer only
a little over three per cent In Pabst

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Is the most

wholesome beer because PaDst exclusive
eight-daV malt IS produced from the

velOpment instead OF by the quick, cheap
process used I'm many breweTies, and
thus retains all the food value of the
barley in predigested form.
Richest IN food strength best TO the
