Swallowing Land.


Capacity of swallow varies.
Most of us have heard of the man
who, after a visit to his doctor, told
his companion that he had found
his saw mill down his throat, adj
ding that he was going to get an
other, but the doctor had advised
him this time to run it by water.
Many a fine estate has gone down
a mans throat, in drink, and it is
about time that working people
took some notice of the value of
what they are swallowing.
In these days the chief desire of
most men is to get a little plot of
ground for themselves on which
to build a house which they can
call their own.
Why not get this plot OF ground?
If you only drink a glass of beer a
day, you swallow enough land in
a year to build your house on and
give you a respectable sized gar
den; you swallow 365 square yards
of land-a good sized feld-for
every time you drink five cents
worth of beer or spirits you swal-
low a yard of good land.
You think this nonsense? Well
listen for a minute. Take the val
ne of an acre of land at 5000 land
you ought to get good land for
that which would give good crops
and feed good cattle year after
year, In 5000 there are 1900 times
five cents, so if a drink costs five
cents you may put it down that in
5000 there are 1000 drinks. Now,
in an acre of land there are 4,84C
square yards; more than a yard a
drink. Just keep this in mind and
next time you want a drink say
"No, I'll keep the land" and put
five cents in a savings box; and
when you have done this twenty
times, put the dollar into the saw
ings bank. And when the dollars
have accumulated you will have
little difficulty in becoming E
landed proprietor. And you car
continue the saving till by means
of your building society, you car
build a comfortable cottage. Anc
then continue it, and lay by TO
old age SO that you can end you
days in your own home, amonI
your own people, and not in
workhouse.-Hard Facts Ledflet.

Bluff by a Brooklyn Brewer.

The brewmasters had q national
convention in Detroit this fall.
When brewers meet and talk in
public, they are not only interest.
ing but amusing, At the Detroit
convention was Leonard Michael,
of Brooklyn. In an interview this
Eastern brewer said:
"We are not fearing the temper
ance movem ent at all. We feel
certain the movement will do us
good rather than hurt us. People
need beer as a stimulant, and where
they can not get whiskey they
will buy beer"
How is that for a bluff? Wonder
If Mr. Michael thinks anybody be-
lieves him? So the temperance
movement is helping the brewers,
is it? This is news to brewers of
the country whose stocks are hard
ly worth the paper they are print
ed on. Wonder how Mr.. Michael's
statement sounds to the brewers
who have had their saloons dis
mantled and who have gone into
other and more stable business?
How does Mr.. Michael make his
statement agree with the figures of
the internal revenue commissioner,
which show a decrease in per
capita consumption?
What do the whiskey producers
think of brewer Michael's inter-
view to the effect that people are
drinking less whiskey and more
beer? The whiskey men have been
bowling that the beer business has
been hurt by the temperance
movement, as beer is bulky and
can not be SO easily shipped into
"dry" territory a ~whiskey, and
therefore the brewers are losing
out to the whiskey producers.
The people know that both brew
cry and whiskey men are blufing
and both the beer and whiskey
business is pretty thoroughly fiat
tened out. If the temperance
movement were helping these fell
lows, they would not be spending
their millions in organizing and
trying to check the movement. On
the contrary, they would all join
the Anti Saloon League and vote
the country dry.
The remarkable thing Is, thai
these foolish men think the people
are not next. The brewers and
liquor dealers do not seem to real
ize the donkeys they are making
Of themselves. They are not pull
ing the wool over the eyes of in
telligent voters. They may influ-
ence their drugged and stupefed
victims, but the great temperance
army is moving on to d greater
conquest-s-to the final overthrow
Of both the beer and whiskey IN
