Drinks for the Fashion

Canon Horsley gave an address at
meeting of soldiers and sailors at the
Royal Naval Barracks at Chatham,
England. He declared that men did
not drink the kings health because it
benefited him, but because it was the
fashion For all the good it did the
king, they might as we'll eat gallon
of peas as drink a gallon of beer.
There are some regiments in the
British army in which fully half the
men are total abstainers, but he
thought the navy had some leeway to
make UP.

An "Inalienable Right"

"The inalienable right to get drunk"
is matter of countrywide discussion
in England, growing out of the strike
of locomotive drivers to secure the
reinstatement of a driver who was
discharged for intoxication The in
terest extends to this country, because
it reminds one of the recent action of
several railroads in making "anti-
booze" rules more stringent This fol-
lowed bad wreck on the Lackawanna
Railroad that brought out evidence
that an engineman on duty had been
drinking heavily.
The "inalienable right to get drunk"
perhaps can be conceded if it is modi-
fed by the restrictions which the in
terests of the community and the do
nestle circles require. The question,
then, becomes one not as to the right,
but by process of elimination, under
what circumstances man-and, of
course, in these advanced days that
includes woman-may exercise this
inalienable right.
The right to expend money for in
toxication needed to pay debts or sup
port family will be denied at once
The right to ruin ones health with the
possibilities of becoming burden to
others or communicating or transmit
ting bad health must be swept away.
It is absurd to claim that, having
accepted responsibility of any sort, or
undertaken to furnish manual or men
tai labor, one may righteously permit
the brain or the hand to be weakened
by bad habits.
The right to make ones self nui-
sance in public, in society or the home
circle will not be affirmed. A hundred
other considerations limiting the
claimed privilege will suggest them
selves These limitations, of course,
bar the furnishing of an example
which will lead others to transcend
the limitations of intoxication as they
may be enumerated.
Persons whose indulgence in the
"inalienable right" encounters none of
these bars will be entitled to go ahead
and argue their case The claimants
will not crowd the court, however

Rash ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ltched So He Could Not Sleep

ION July ~, 1903, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with US. After being in ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind Of Disagreement, and baby

why PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the.
number Of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases In the rates.
that 1t does, would not be so surprfsed,
were they to accompany one Of the
numerous excursions that are being.
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several Of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets,
onto the free ~homesteads, which, as.
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the.
U. s. senate the other day, comprises
$50 acres Of the most. fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results.
whether it be on this free homestead
of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre..
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land Of his native state, and
which his mean will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
bers of the u. S. Senate and Congress-,
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire is shown
In their remarks, that they pass legis-
lation, (Which il very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws Of the.
United States much easier.
It is the Gee Of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others.
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" Is it any wonder that increased
interest Is aroused and a determine.
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and. health and all that
accompanies 1t.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one Of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the,
United States says: I'VE have had no
failures of crops during our nine years
in Canada. I threshed 1908 bushels of
wheat and 1883 bushels of oats in 1911
on my 100 acres. This is a beautiful
country. I keep six good work horses,
and milk seven cows, getting good
prices for butter and eggs. We get
u coal for $500 per ton at the mine.
about n mile from the farm. Am
about one and a half miles from a fine.
school. As for the cold weather It is.
much milder here than in Minnesota,
where l lived for 81 years. Our we'll
is IS feet deep and we have fine wa
ter. Wild land is selling for SIS.
to $25. per acre. Improved farms are
much higher. I am well satisfied with
the country, and would not sell unless
l got a big price, as we have all done
we'll here"
Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.

side the detectives are said to be at
tempting to secure information of the
hiding place of the two men by pay
ing $1,000 or more for knowledge that
would lead to an immediate arrest.
The detectives have learned that
there are, among the IS or more fam

Aliens, some who would not be averse
to seeing the outlaws captured, but
would demand in return for the in.
formation absolute silence on the part

10000 People Homeless.
st. Louis.-Thirty thousand persons
homeless; two thousand square miles
of country inundated, 80 persons
drowned and a financial loss of $1O,-
100000 constitute the result of a two
weeks flood in the Mississippi valley.
These figures were arrived at by gov
eminent engineers and officials of
state levee boards engaged in fighting
to maintain the Mississippi leeves
from Illinois to threatened points in
Mississippi and Arkansas.
Railroad traffic in these sections is
paralyzed. Hundreds Of persons still
are menaced by the river al points
in lower Missouri, northwest Tennes-
see and Arkansas. .
The most dangerous point in the
flood situation is at the Golden Lake,
Ark, levee. A break at Golden Lake
would mean the inundation Of a sec
ton as large as that flooded by the
collapse of the wall at the st. Claire
loop, which was 700 square miles.
Hourly the danger zone is working
southwark.
Three More Breaks Occur.
Three more breaks occurred south
of Memphis. The first was at "24-
mile post 16 miles south of Helena.
Ark, the levee at Laconia, 60 miles
below Helena, went out and the levee
gave way at Henrica, neal Laconia.
The water is pouring rapidly over
several hundred square miles of rich
farming lands.
Laconia Circle is inundated. Prob
ably water from the two c%revasses
will join, flooding the entire southern
half of Phillips county, in which is
Helena, and all of Desha county. The
overflow will find it's way back into
the Mississippi through White river.

The Ohio river at Cairo will remain
