The War on the American Saloons.

h'~
In two-thirds of all the territory of
the United States the saloon has been
abolished by law. Forty years ago
there were 100000 people living in
territory where the sale Of liquor was
prohibited: now there are 36,000,0OO
people under prohobitory law. Since
that time the population of the u
try has scarcely doubled, while the
population in prohibition territory
has increased tenfold. There are 90
600, 900 people in the fourteen South
ern States. $4,000, 900 of whom are
under prohobitory law in some form.
In 1900 there were $4,000, 900 under
prohibition in the United States;
now there are 36.000,000. In eight
months Statewide prohibition has
cleared the saloon from an area as
great as that Of France. In that area
there is a solid block of territory 800
miles north and south by 720 miles
east and west, in which on the first
day of January a bird could fly from
the Mississippi to the Atlantic Ocean,
and from the boundary of Tennessee
to the Gulf of Mexico without looking
down upon the legalized saloon.
Great Britain and Ireland could be
set down over this space without COW
ering it; there would be 10000
square miles of "dry" territory left
as a border.-American Review of
Reviews.

COMPARISON OF WEAPONS
Machines Used In Modern and Ancient
Neutrality-suspicious. Have Gre
ated New Conditions.

Paradoxical as it is, subsequent to the
writing Of B. Bloch, nearly every great
nation has been engaged in military
enterprises, and the destruction OF life
has been proportionately less b a IN
any of the great wars Of the past, says
General Homer In Harper's Weekly
What, then, might we well ask, Is the
salient difference between the battle
of Waterloo and the h. tie of Liaou
Yang?
The difference of the ~yard-stick.
The range of musketry and artillery
has only increased the zone Of fire be-
tween hostile fronts; communication
by telephone, telegraph and hello
graph have only extended their TANKS,
while the rapidity of fire has done no
more than widen the interval between
the ranks and the individuals com
posing them. BY these natural and
simple e~xpedients, man has re
stored that invariable equilibrium
which must always exist between the
weapons Of offense and the means OF
defense.
what, then, is the difference in the
fundamental principles of ancient and
modern wars?
There Is none.
Do not new machines of war or mil
itary inventions alter ~perceptibly these
principles?
They do not.
Mankind as a whole almost always
transfers to the inanimate world those
strange conceptions that are the prod
uct of his wants and fe RS. He gives
to mere form his own v~olition and cir
cumscribes the unknown with limita-
tons of his own perceptions. What
ever possesses the potem .ality of de-
structive power or is strange or vast
fills his mind with dread. And now
that man has come to the age of fly
ing, he again turns his eyes heaven
ward with the same credulity that
peopled the heavens with gods and
monsters, he marks out for himself
new hopes and fears. About these
strange craft soaring overhead he has
created a phantasmagoria of unreal
ities.-Gen. Homer Lea, in Harper's

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc

getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,

his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment On him on b~andages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was. n mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the

ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam

Which Do You Like Worst7

This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong-minded wc~n
can ever decide which Of two or three
hats she likes "the best" particularly
If they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do 1 like best is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, Of men, or hats, or
attractive dates you like the worst,
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out in
the grade Of d%esirability, until you
actually find yourself at a decision,

When sewing the hooks and eyes on

On a wash dress the eyes should be

IN working on heavy materials alter

and then a hook on one flap, with nrst
