What No-License Has Done in Michigan's
One Long Dry County

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich, April 25-(Special cor
respondence)-The city of South Haven is To-
Gated in Van Buren county, which, in 1890,
under the provisions of the Michigan county
option law, voted out its saloons and has main
tanned the local Prohibition policy ever since.
In the recent spring elections the question of
license was voted upon in fourteen counties of
Michigan and lengthy article signed by John
Mackey, who represented to have been three
times mayor of South Haven, was published in
the papers of the various counties and is now
being copied in other states for its influence
upon the Prohibition question in general. In
that article the most startling statements are
made concerning the terrible results of the
no-license policy in Van Buren county and par
ticularly in South Haven 1t is stated as fact
that the policy has been financially ruinous to
this city, that the population has decreased, that
drunkenness has increased that the buildings of
South Haven stand empty that the city is over
whelmed with debt, while the attempts of the
authorities to enforce the law pile up an addi-
tional debt because of the cost though the liquor
business goes merrily on ct Get, ct Get.
The fact that ten of the fourteen counties
that voted upon the question voted for no-license
goes to show that where the document was best

DRINK AND CRIME
Remarkable Experience of Wet and Dry Coun-
ties in Old Volunteer State

NASHVILLE Tenn, April 24-(Special CORE
spondence) )-While the local Prohibition laws
that have been and are in effect in the
state of Tennessee have never produced wholly
ideal conditions, and while the jug trade" from
the saloon cities of the state and from neigh
boring states has cursed the Prohibition towns
of Tennessee and continues to do its villainous
work, this state furnishes some marked illus
trations of the benefits of the no-saloon policy.
Perhaps the most notable of these is the show
ing which is made concerning the commitment
of prisoners to the state prison. Tennessee has
ninety-sx counties. Until recently twelve Of
these counties have been wet while eighty
four have been dry The recent wave" has
carried eight more of these counties into the
dry column, but the figures which are about
to be quoted refer to the time when the saloon
was sanctioned in twelve counties of the state.
In the years 1866, 1850 prisoners were sent
to the state prison in all Tennessee Of these
85I came from the TWELVE saloon counties and
4oo from the EIGHTY-FOUR Prohibition
countless
The thought would flash into the readers
mind that this was accounted for by the fact that
the saloon counties contain the large cities, and
therefore, the greater population This, how
ever, does not explain the case, for the twelve
saloon counties had population of only 1923,
against population of 1,41s,993 in the eighty
four counties The table which follows will
make this perfectly clear:

POST CARD CERTIFICATE
Splendid Response to Commit
tees Proposition to Secure
Ten Thousand
Subscribers

10 ALL PROHIBITIONIsTs: 1t will cheer
all Prohibitionists everywhere to know that
the proposition of the EXTENSION COMMIT
TEE FOR THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT to
get 10000 new subscribers for The National
ProhibitiOmist is meeting with gratifying
response.
1t will be remembered that the announce
ment of two weeks ago was that we would
sell Post Card Certificates, each good for one
new annual subscri ption, at sixty cents.
: From one end of the country to the other
have come quick replies with checks en-
closed to pay for the cards.
Alfred L. Manierre Of New York City sent
his check for $4,000 to pay for fifty; Henry
Johnston, ex-mayor Of Washington, n j.,
elected as a Prohibitionist, also takes fifty
cards; Captain X. w. Brown of Ames, Iowa,
did the same Joel W. Brown of Jersey City,
NJ, bought twenty cards, and Charles Eek
hart of Auburn, Ind, who had already con-
tributed $3.50 to the establishment Of The
National Prohibitionist, sent prompt order
for ten cards.
In announcing the plan [ said that had
taken 100 of the cards and had turned in my
check for $50 to pay for them. In my recent
campaign in Ohio I disposed of the second
hundred of the cards, making all together
200 subscriptions which have been able to
get for the paper, since the announcement
of the plan.
No more important work than this can be
done. It is most encouraging to read the
letters from our people ordering the sub
scription cards and promising to help still
more in getting additional subscribers. Have
you done your part?
The offer which our committee is making
closes at once. If you intend to help, you
should do so NOW [ will forward you one
subscription certificate or card which is good
for one new annual subscription for every
sixty cents you send Do not wait to get
the subscribers, but send on your money at
once and get cards which you can use at any
time later on.
Address all communications concerning
this to Oliver W. Stewart, 315 Dearborn St.,
Chicago. Yours truly,
OLIVER W. STEWART,
Chairman National Prohibitionst Exten-
sion Committee.

Another highly interesting illustration is found
in the states ledger of criminal accounts In
the year ending December 10, 1905, the state paid
$159,S66.9o criminal costs. Of this the twelve
saloon counties received $77965 63, or twelve
cents and nine mills per capita, and the eighty
four dry" counties received $S1 1,9O127, or five
cents and eight mills per capita.

Fat is an Offense

'The female form being capable Of
expressing supreme degree of grace,
should be an inspiration in our
daily lives and lead up to higher
ideals of beauty" said the art lect-
urer. Therefore the fat woman is an
enemy to the artistic uplift, for she
is entirely too heavy for any wings
of fancy to raise.
Il can't understand how any wo-
man will remain fat when it is so
easy to reduce ones flesh. In the
Latin quarter of Paris one never
sees a gross figure. Although the
art models take things easy, sit
around a great deal and eat just
whatever they please, yet they keep
their flesh firm and their figures
beautiful. They have simple fat
reducer that takes the place of starv-
ing and gymnastics. 1t consists of
a teaspoonful after meals, and at
bedtime of this simple receipt: 1-2
ounce Marmola, IL ounce Fluid Ex-

ounces Syrup Simplex That's all,
