Attacks Justified

I am not going to say anything this morning that
is to you, but what | am going to do is to call
to your minds things that you all know are
true, but that possibly have not been given the
thought and attention that should be given them.
You know that the liquor interests throughout
this country have been attacked repeatedly and
severely, as have all large industries and want to
say that most Of those attacks have been justified.
The system surrounding the large industries of this
country has been wrong and the system that sur
rounds business has been, in great measure,
wrong: and who interested In the bust
ness must put ourselves light before the great honest
public of this country. How going to do
it? Are going to put ourselves right by allow
ing the traffic to be conducted in the old way,
against the wishes of the people in the communities
where we do business? This is serious question.
IF through organized efforts these evils can be
remedied, you going to have the great strong
backing of the public and the great majority Of the
public of this country is honest and sincere and lib
eral If we tolerate, even outside of organiza-
tons, things to which the public is opposed and do
not continue the fight against dives and places of
to make little Roadway in reform For bad
saloon in city damns all the rest.
Against the Dive Saloon but Plan to Promote It
Many of our kindred organizations in their con
ventions pass resolutions that they going to do
away with the dive saloon, and the wholesale liquor
dealers when they met in my state in their national
convention a few months ago spent most of their
time pointing out how they could ship whisky into

It's difficult matter to find who is willing to de-
fend the saloon from moral standpoint. Most of the
saloons defense supported by financial arguments These
fast being nued the public becomes informed with
financial facts regard to the relation of the saloon to the
city individual It's certainly and surely dawnng
upon the peoples intelligence that the egalzed liquor
traffic instead of being producer of wealth, is prolific
source of poverty While few outside the ranks of the
liquor dealers defend the traffic from moral viewpoint it
to be expected that the engaged in the business
would contend that they pursuing legitimate and hon

"A Wonderful Lot of Men,

The national association of which I have the
honor of being president has done great deal for
the liquor interests Of this country. [, it's pres
dent, can do very little I, like yourselves, live
in the West and naturally the bills against
traffic are introduced in Washington but we have
in Washington, gentlemen, a committee which is
made up of wonderful lot of men, and we have at
the head of that committee a whom some of
you know personally, and who is one of the most
capable in the trade today. And we fortu-
nate in having of that character to represent
at Washington. In the last session of Congress
there eight bills introduced affecting the
liquor traffic All of these bills have to be given
attention and [ want to say that chairman has
neglected any Of these bills, and the liquor
dealers throughout the country have also been of
great assistance to him, for when secretary
sends out request for action we do everything
possibly If were organized as should
be, gentlemen there is not member of Congress
that we would not be able to get in touch with,
and we would be able to bring tremendous in
fuence to bear in favor Of the traffic. So you see
how necessary it is for us to support our organza-

My friends, the warning to you this morning is to
let the brewers take of the breweries let the
wholesale liquor dealers take Of the distlery,
and we the saloonkeepers, should take Of the

of this great problem, because [ believe that you

Says Brewers Talk of Reform "All Rot
This talk Of reforming the saloon the part of
the brewers and wholesalers is all rot. It sounds
well in the form Of resolutions but if they were
sincere in their resolutions there would not be a
dive saloon in this country week from today.
Prohibition Wave Not Receding
Many people say that the wave Of prohibition is
receding. 1t is not. The Anti-Saloon League never
has worked hard as it is doing now, but what is
happening is that there is change of public senti-
ment toward the liquor interests. And what has
caused this great change in public opinion is that
you are doing something, you changing public
quence is that the great honest liberal public is
turning toward you and they are going to assist
you. AS [ said the Anti-Saloon League is working
harder than before, and the for it is
that they realize that if this change in public senti

unusual amount Of attention when
Prince Eitel Fritz adopted unusual
methods lately to decrease his weight.

An AFGHAN Trick.

During shooting match in the
presence Of the governor of Kanda-
har the sirdar noticed to his aston
ishment that the heads of sparrows
were the favorite butt of the marks
men, who but seldom missed their
aim, whereupon he declared that it
was far more difficult to hit an egg.
Sir Peter laughed at the suppose
ton, but the sirdar stood his
ground, and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on
a wall, and the soldiers fred at it;
but, strange to say, not one of them
hit the egg. The governor and his
suit kept their countenances and
excused the nonsuccess of the firing
party on the ground of the difficulty
Of the thing. At last ball hap
pened to hit the thread to which
the egg was fastened. and it fell to
the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cum
ming Afghan had used blown egg.
and the feathcrweisht shell had
been moved aside each time by the
current Of air in front of the ball
and thus escaped being hit.

writes an Iowa poultrywoman in the
Western Poultry Journal Here the
hens will work. contented and happy,
through the cold winter days. when
the snow keeps them in. About the
middle Of the afternoon feed a mash
of two-thlrdS wheat bran and one OF
middlings and cracked corn. To this j
add all table scraps and enough hot
water or milk to make crumbIy
mass. The hens always relish this
feed. During the short winter days /
feed but twice. but there is always

to work for it. For green feed l give
them second crop clover hay. mangel
wurzels. small potatoes. cabbage or
any other vegetables can get. The
poultry have oyster shells. grit. wheat

before them in small hoppers fastened
TO the fall OF the shed. There is one
thing more that cannot dispense
with, and that is my bone cutter BY
the aid of this machine all scraps or
meat and bones can be reduced to very
profitable food. and there is nothing
that will start the hens to laying

The father of Florence Nightin-

sumed by letters patent the surname
of Nightingale in 1915. The name,
together with the family property,
came from old Peter Nightingale,
against whom Arkwright, inventor
of the spinning jenny, brought IN
1776 one of his actions for infringe
ment of patent rights. Lea Hurst,
the home of the Nightingales in
Derbyshire, is only two miles from

to Health.
1t has been contended that the
easiest and pleasantest way to keen
in fit condition is to practice Jug,
Cling. the art of balancing and
catching objects.
When exercising at home, I'M
watched by a teacher, one is likely
to perform his exercises in an in
correct or slovenly fashion, thus do
ing himself more harm than good,
but the simplest feat of juggling can
be done in only one way, the right
way. Again, where physical exercise
develops only certain part or parts

enced juggler years of practice to
accomplish. The beginner should,
of course, start with the easiest
feats, such as balancing a walking
stick on his forehead or tossing a
ball from behind his back over his
shoulder and catching it as it falls.
If one is really fond of juggling he
may invent his own problems.
Here are a few axioms:
1t is easier to balance thing on
your head than on your hand.
Up to the point where great phys
ical strength is required the larger
the object the easier it is to balance.
Thus it is easier to balance a walk
ing stick on your forehead than it
is a pencil.
One shoald always look at the top
of whatever he is balancing. Begin
ncrs make the mistake of looking
at the bottom or the middle of the
stick or whatever is being juggled.
Again, when catching things do not
watch your hands. Keep your eye
on the object, Just as you would to
catch a batted ball.
In all balancing feats it should be
remembered that the shape of the
object is immaterial. What one has
to do is to balance an imaginary
line passing vertically through the
center of gravity of the object, or,
in other words, to keep its axis per
pendicular to whatever it is bal
aneed upon. Juggling is said to be
the best and healthiest of indoor
exercises, because it does not weary,
because it develops every part of the
body, because it trains the hand and
the eye and because it makes for
grace.-New York Tribune.
