A National Conference.

Governor J. Frank Hanly, fresh
from splendid fighting in Maine,
writes the International Reform
Bureau: "We'll have to fight for
the retention of prohibitory laws
and constitutional clauses in every
State where they exist" Yes, and
we must make better fights than
those Of the last two years, during
which we have not added a new
prohibition State, and have lost
one, and barely escaped from los-
ing another--Oklahoma being the
only State held by a good majori-
ty. The supreme mistake of these
campaigns, the lack of a National
Union Committee to set against
the national union of brewers and
d~istillers, seems likely to be REM
edied, for o conference Of all tenn

DIR. Wiley on Alcohol as a Food,

Ia his address before the Ameri-
can Therapeutic Society in Bos-
ton, DR.. H. w. Wiley, Chief of
the United States Bureau of Che
mistry, discussed briefly the much
argued question of alcohol as a
food.
SIT has been shown" said DR..
Wiley, shat the average hui
man organism is able to oxidize
with practical completeness a con-
siderable quantity of alcohol per
day. This quantity varies, of
course, in different individuals,
but may be taken pretty accurate
ly at about three ounces of alco-
hol per day. This quantity must
be distributed over different
periods of tbs day, as to take it
all at once would not only defeat
the purpose of the experiment,
but in most cases would probably
produce actual i~ntoxication. | have
stated on the witness stand in an
swer to a question that consid-
cred alcohol to be a food because
a certain part of it is burned in the
body and results in the production
OF heat and energy. In the light
OF the Investigations which have
been made from theoretical con-
ditions, | am inclined to the opin-
ion that the effort to rid the body
of alcohol, sven in the limited
quantities | have mentioned, per-
haps consumes a great deal more
energy than is furnished by the
combustion, and that upon the
whole, alcohol cannot be regarded
as a food even in the limited sense
above described. 1t is, without
question a substance which does
not nourish the body, build It's
sus, or repair waste, and it i
quite likely that it's value either
as a food or medicine has been
greatly overestimated THE Sci

The bottom has fallen out of tho
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,

with cheap John bottoms and a
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for Z cents per square foot
or the better one for ~ cents a

the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again.

TWO MULES WITH HISTORY

that animal transportation was the

there when he was on the mainland.
Now he and his friends will be re-

The work Of the department on that

that where the water runs are not al

It has been estimated that to TO
build the pyramid Of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure of
100000, 900 would be, necessary and
the labor Of 10000 men for two years
required.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 100000
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies space OF
twelve and three-quarters acres, is TAG
feet high and contains about 1895
900 cubic yards of stone and gran
lite.
The material alone represents an
item of s36,00O,0O0, while the labor
would increase this amount to $72,'
100000. To this must be added 49,
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.
The pyramid is built on a solid rock

ton of this character would add to

HOUSE WITH NO STAIRS

Features.

The new residence which Is being
built on the Clearview plan at Mount
Lebanon, Pittsburg, for A. G. Smith
of Pittsburgh, has some features which
are unique and probably not embodied
in any other residence in this section
The house is without stairways or
steps, the slope idea having been sub
stituted. The grade of this slope is
about ten per cent. Entering from the
veranda to the largH reception haEf
ones attention is directly drawn to
the unique method employed OF reach

room, which is probably 20x35 feet. q
large concrete fireplace and urantel
is the principal feature, with wide

the residence are OF the bay type
The only wood used I'm the eomstruc-
ton OF the building is to be found IN
the door stills, windows and floors, the
latter of which will be hardwood The
walls Of the building are OF cement,
finished with white cement trimmings
Even the two bathrooms are fitted
with cement tubs. In all there are
ten rooms. The roof is Of concrete,
surrounded with a parapet. the porch
roofs are of the same type, thus al
fording second story porches in the
front and rear, both of which are Mt
ted up with concrete flower troughs in
which blooming flowers are now to be
seen even in the unfinished condition
of the house. On the front second
story porch a fountain is arranged.
