Flying fish swim In shoals varying
In number from dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the watar
at once. darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then desc md to the water quickly,
rising egain and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining up
on his prey, which take shorter and

Uncle sam on Temperance

Consulted as to the great increase in
consumption of American bottled
beers, officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau say, There can be no DOUBT
ness is to some extent due to the sub
stitution of beer for strong drinks"
In other words, the increase in the
consumption of bottled beers is one Of
the most potent factors in the growth
of temperance sentiment and practice.
Beer is a mild, beneficial drink which
seems to afford the needed happy mean
between the two extremes-high-h hand
ed prohibition on the one hand and in
temperance on the other.
The percentage of alcohol in beer Is
so slight and so mildly stimulating
effects. but positively salutary and in
vigorating.
If the present-day rush did not make
it impossible to live perfectly normal
rhythmical, well-balanced lives, no
stimulant of any kind would be essen
tial; but in this strenuous age pure beer
is invaluable as an assistant to nature
and overtaxing demands of modern
life; and. owing to the Insignificant
percentage of alcohol in beer, the re-
action is almost imperceptfble.

age. Its use is a commendable habit,
and even when taken freely it is fol-
lowed by no bad after effects. Do not
judge Luxus by any other beer. 1t is
radically different If you have ever
felt that beer did not agree with you,
try Luxus; you will be agreeably sur
prised. Luxus is the result of years of
study and experimenting with the
avowed purpose of producing beer
free from all the Objectionable fea-
lures of ordinary beers. Luxus is made
of the best barley malt seasoned rice

yields of Bohemian hops. and water

several to be as bad as the fetid lodg-

in North Beach we found 500 persons
huddled together in tiny rooms, the
largest of which was not more than
about II feet square. In suite of
three such rooms, upholstered and un-
carpeted. II persons lived
In another tenement, on a lot so by
go feet, 20 persons lived Such a thing
as privacy was impossible and the fact
that these places are multiplying calls
for municipal action.
