CORPSES OF DRUNKARDS
EXHIBITED TO CHILDREN
Marched Past Bodies of Two
Men Killed by Whisky.

Kokomo, Ind.-As an object lesson
in temperance 500 school children
were lined up and marched in regular
file past the bodies of two men found
dead in the woods from intoxication
and exposure.
Charles Thresher and William and
Charles Lindley went on what they
thought was a last chance spree be-
fore the Local Option law went into
effect. They bought two gallons of
whisky and went to the woods near
Greentown, ten miles east of here.
Two of the three men were found
dead and the third was in a dying
condition. They were taken to
GreentOwn.
On the suggestion of the Rev. DIR.
Hall, pastor of the Greentown Metho-
dist Church, the school children of
the place were shown a specimen of
the deadly work of intoxicants.

Explaining the Candle Power.


In Illuminating circles one hears a
great deal about "candle-power" and
nearly everyone, If asked, would in
stantly reply that candle-power
was the light given by single can
die. But candles differ in luminos-
ity as we'll as incandescent lamps,
and candle-power is not one thing
but several according to country
where used.
In Great, Britain and the United
States the standard light unit is the
amount given by "spermaceti can
die burning up at the rate of 120
grains an hour with flame forty
five millimeters high" or LIS in. In
France the standard candle Is made
of stearine, and Germany's candle
was, until few years ago, paraffine,
Now the latter country uses the So
called Hefner unit of light, the
amount given by certain form OF
lamp burning acetate of amyl. An
other lamp standard, called the car
eel, was used in France. In this pur-
fed rape seed oil Is used. Because
of this unsatisfactory international
chaos it is now proposed that our
national bureau of standards at
Washington take steps to establish
standard international candle which
would be acceptable to at least nine
countries.
