Loss to One State.

In the State of New York there are
now some 10000 insane in the public
and private hospitals, and 1t Is esti-
mated that twenty per cent. Of these,
or 5000 patients, owe their insanity
to alcohol. In all the asylums of the
United States there are $50, 900 insane,
and assuming the same percentage,
there are 10000 individuals in this
country in whom alcohol has brought
about insanity. DR.. Macdonald calcu-
lates that one insane person is an ap-
proximate loss to the State of $500
per year. Hence the actual loss in
money to the State of New York
through alcoholic insanity is $2,400,-
600, and to the United States $4,000
600 every year.

SWAMP LAND DRAINAGE.

Along no line have the people of Ms
sissippi made greater progress durig
the past few years than in proper dram
age for their low and wet lands. liFl-
dreds OF drainage districts have ben
organized and millions of acres OF ne
richest land in the world brought iro
cultivation. The pioneer in this god
work was the county OF Lee, where ~
a special act Of the Legislature may
years ago the first swamp land dram
age district was formed. The success of
this venture is we'll displayed in TIE
following splendid article from the h.
pelo Tribune of recent date:
Few people realize what has BEN
done for Lee county in the past few
years by channelling her bottom land.
To make the statement that the bit
tom lands in this county which hate
been drained, have increased over sewn
hundred thousand dollars in valle
with an expenditure of a little moe
than fifty-eight thousand five hundred
dollars would sound incredible. Never
theless this is true. Further than this,
the production of cotton in this county
has been doubled. This sounds big, but
we have made a careful examination Of
the records of Lee county, and we here.

The Personal Equaslon.

In one of Ralph Connor's stories
there is an account OF a man who did
not want the good the church could do
him. He was intemperats in his
habits. The day OF the races Is come,
and the minister fears for Sandy. A
temperance lecture would do no good.
An appeal to selt-interest would fall
on deaf ears. But happy thought
came to the minister. Sandy" he
said, II am afraid about Donald to-
day. If he gets in with that company
again they will strip him of all he has,
and what about his home and family?
We must save him from the saloon
to-day; can't you keep an eye on him
and see that he keeps sober?" Sandy
Strengthened himself. He was no mere
sinner to be gathered in" but man
to help others. Il will do my best,
sir" And he did. He forgot all about
himself that day in his eagerness to
protect Donald he was to the minis
ter instead of eyes, and in saving
others saved himself-M. A. Mac

DRY POTATOES
FOR Food.

Consul Frank S. Hannah sends re-
port to the Department of Commerce
and Labor relative to some recent ex.
sHerimonts in the drying OF potatoes
,ander the auspices of the German I'm
regiAl Interior Department which may
m9eer n new Geld for farmers. The
pctatoes are reduced by this process
to about one quarter of their original
weight and can be kept in a good con-
Aatien in this compressed form for an
inAennite length Of time. The mill
tary authorities have made thorough
experiments with this product and
hare become convinced that its
RutgitiOus value is fully equal to
tAAt Of corn, and that toe dried
gQkatoea can take the place OF
oAe-third of the former ration OF oats.
TIE fact that the potatoes are reduced
to one-fourth of their original weight
brinmn about a corresponding reduc-
Hca in the price OF freight, so that it
will pay to grow more potatoes than
has formerly been the case.

SYSTEM
CONDEMNED,
BY George M. Hammell.

The report of the liquor license de-
partment in Ontario, Canada. con-
dennis, on the face of it, the license
system. For, according to the figures.
the direct product of the tavern, shop.
hotel, or places Of retailing intoxicat-
ing liquors, is drunkenness.
Now, If drunkenness is not crime,
it is, to say the least, disease. The
taVern-trafic is source of disease,
according to official statement, and
the provincial government is placed
in the abnormal attitude of collecting
license fees from men who deal in
disease-producing article - alcoholic
liquors. According to this system,
the government is bound to license
the traffic, but not bound to provide
for its disease-products. Four thou
sand seven hundred and seventy-four
persons are found alcoholied-and
"arrested"-that is to say, treated as
criminals. Judged from the stand
point OF the physician they are proper
subjects for medical treatment.
Judged from the standpoint Of civil
government thsy are subjects for civil
discipline. The State, however, mere
ly confines in Jail for a brief period
and imposes a fine. No effort is made
to moralize the offender. No effort
is made to cure him of disease. The
State confesses it's failure in dealing
with the ultimate product of the
licensed liquor traffic, as for though
the number of licenses has decreased,
the number of arrests for drunken
ness has increased. The saloon"
plays double-it yields revenue-and
crime, or it yields revenue and dis
ease. Either way the State ought to
abate the trafic as nuisance. or con-
cede its incapacity to deal with the
situation and re-organize on a moral
basis.

DR.. Peterson's Facts.

Dr. Frederick Peterson, in an ad-
dress before the New York State Con-
ference of Charities and Correction,
made the following stand out in bold
relief:
Alcohol is the chief poison factor
in the production of insanity. Six
thousand patients in the State OF
New York alone owe their insanity to
alcohol. Twenty per cent. Of all the
insane in the United States. or at
least 10000 individuals. owe their con-
dition to alcoholic poison" DR.. Nc
Donald calculates that one insane per
son is an approximate loss to the
State of New York, due to insanity, OF
81, 400 900, and to the United States
S12 100000 per year.

imately ninety miles had been made, it
was possible for many more to be added
before cold weather drove the weevil to
Information.
Thirty counties in the state now have
the weevil and it is important that the
people take an interest in the methods
to be used in making cotton i'll spite of
the weevil Little can or has been ac-
complished in the way of fighting the
pest, but a great deal is being done to
make cotton despite his ravages. Adams
county has had an experience that it
would be well for other counties to take
advantage of Adams is normally
about $4,000 bale county. Last year
the yield was a little less than $4,000
bales. This year, it is eontended by
many of the best posted citizens that
the yield will not be more than 5000
bales. 1t should be considered, however,
that the acreage for this year was less
than half Of that of last year to begin
with and some of this was abandoned
later and put in other crops.
The production of other crops in
Adams has greatly increased and the
general determination is to diversity and
raise some cotton anyway. Consider
able trucking was done this year and
the corn acreage almost if not quite
doubled. Grasses and stock raising are
receiving attention and there is move
ment on foot to build a packing plant
tn Natchez to insure a reliable market
for hogs. Other counties in that section
where the weevil has seriously inter
fered with the growing of cotton are
adopting similar methods.
1t only means few more years I'M
til the whole of Mississippi will. be in
tested and it is time that our people
were looking upon it as a serions propo-
sition and beginning to take advantago
of methods that will become necessary
when the weevil comes. Counties not
yet infested can easily learn of what is
absolutely necessary by the experience
of the counties in our state first infested
and begin now to make preparations for
his coming A great deal can be saved
by this course.
1t is foolish to pretend that the Wee
vii is scarecrow and that there is
nothing in it as many are doing. 1t is
serious proposition and the people of
Mississippi can and will meet it in q
safe and sane manner as they have al
ways done. Begin right now gathering
information as to methods to be adopted
and put them in use. 1t viii save you
multiplied dollars in the near future,
possibly from ruin.
