The f + principal direction of the motion i, f was from south southeast to + + north northwest. + + The remarkable feature of this !. + earthquake aside from it's inten- i, + sity, was it's rotary motion.

THE FLIGHT.
The People Have Been Stunned Into
 Stoicism.

From Grant avenue the procession moved westward. Men and women dragged trunks, packed huge bundles of blankets. boxes of provisions-ev- erything. Wagons could not be hired except by paing the most eXor- bitant rates. But there is no panic. The people are calm-stunned.
 They seem not to realize the extent of the calamity. They hear that tae city is destroyed in so far as toe busi- ness section is concerned. They tell each other in the most natural tones that their residences were destroyed by the flames, but there is no nyateria, no outcry no criticism.
 DRIVEN ABOUT BY FLAMES.
 Mayor Schmidt and Chief Ot Police Dinan have been forced from place to place by the onrushing flames. Day break found them directing the n,uni- cipal council, which is a committee of safety, fro mthe Fairmount hotel, the beautiful structure that stood pn the top of Mob hill, but that caught fire and they retreated to the Cushing, at Larkin and Sutter streets, then to tbe north end police station in Sacrlmento street Here the council, composed of the financial leaders of the city, met them and decided to resort to the most heroic measures yet undertaken since the city has been in the path of devas- tation.

national revenues, and the use of beer
itself as a means to temperance and
sobriety
1--WE believe that sooner or later
beer will be recognized at it's true worth,
as food beverage of splendid tonic
effect and high nourishing value. Noted
men and women of this country are
already alive to the situation and be-
sides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DR..
Joseph Feisler, of Northwestern Univer
sity, many others of note give their en-
dorsement to beer as a means to national
temperance.
miss Cousins, for a quarter of
century the most eminent woman suf-
frage advocate in the west said in
recent interview: There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women's
Christian Temperance Union to do is
to aid in the substitution of mild,
nourishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produce drunkenness. A prom
inent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, who found
beer satisfying their demands, that he
actually ran all the low dives OF the
surrounding neighborhood out Of bust
ness
''Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for a mild, healthful, refreshing bev-
erage such as Miss Cousins suggests.
1t is made of the exclusive Pabst eight
day malt, choicest hops and pure water.

ated. No phase of work in the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union has in
it such strong elements of self-perpetu-
alton as this. 1t is the "Cry of the
Children" reduced from a poetic to
prose form. 1t is the "Star of Hope"
to point the way and keep young lives
from the awful dark of the liquor traffic.
Mrs. Hunt lived to receive the recog-
milton and appreciation her work de-
served. Especially was this true during
the last year of her life, when, pris-
oner almost through weary months, re-
peated tokens of success came to cheer
her waiting soul-the endorsement of
her carefully prepared textbooks by
medical associations, as in Maine and
elsewhere; Germany's imperial decree
that they should be introduced into the
elementary schools of the empire; the
petition of Is, 900 medical men of Great
Britain for the enactment of the law;
above all, the recognition, widespread

1t is surprising to find liquor adver-
tisements in almost all leading dailies
in cities of twenty thousand population
and upward.
Many of the papers do not suspect
that these ads come directly from the
liquor dealers. Cunningly couched in
temperance garb they reach the columns
as news articles, cheating the publisher
of his advertising rate and fooling the
public, while in a number of instances
they enrage the readers and set them
against the publication in which the
material in question is found.
Of course some publishers get good
remuneration for inserting articles
favoring the liquor business. The senti-
ment against this kind of reading ma
terial is becoming very strong Many
papers are losing money by using it,
and so refuse this Objectionable kind
of literature.
The following from the Danville Com
mercial-News is sample:
Judge beer by it's true worth. Pro-
gressive men and women consider 1t
means to national temperance.

Der of articles on the food value OF beer,

and far-reaching, of men of scientific
attainment of the scientific accuracy of
her latest books. Her interview with
the Empress of Germany is we'll known,
but, perhaps, not SO we'll known is the
fact that the empress is a total abstainer
and ardently espouses the cause of saw
ing the people from alcoholic drinks;
she has brought up her own sons as
total abstainers
The Boston Transcript, in an editorial
tribute to Mrs. Hunt, says:
"She has imbedded in the statute
books of Congress much of her own
handiwork, and West Point Academy
and the Naval Academy and all the Ter
ritories and the District of Columbia
are obliged in any teaching supported
by federal funds to give prescribed
quantum of instruction upon the physi-
illogical effects of alcohol.

Eight-day malt, which is the only per-
feet malt, gives Pabst Beer its superior
food value and richness. Strong In
nourishment the body requires, it is
refreshing and satisfying.
Perfect in age, purity and strength,
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent of alcohol,
Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is so healthful'
Miss Cousins is known by this time,
not as a temperance worker, but as
willing tool in the hands of the liquor
dealers. She is today to the advocates
of rum what Miss Willard was to the
advocates of sobriety and temperance.
New York had not single woman
of which fact all decent New York
women were proud-who would take
her stand with the whisky crowd and
against home and virtue in the con-
f1ict last winter before the legislature,
and so Miss Cousins was imported by
the liquor dealers to do the unwomanly
act of pleading for the un-American
liquor saloon.
Her testimony to the value of beer
will weigh little with the hungry and
abused wife of the drunkard, whom beer
has ruined and whom beer will finally
kill and sink into a disgraced drunkard's
grave.
Beer kills. Beer puts people to
death. It's true worth is in it's absolute
certainty to kill. All beer kills. Pabst's
beer kills. 1t is no better than other
beer in spite of it's boast. Beer kills.
