ENSLAvED BY LIQUOR HABIT
One Million Men in United States Pay
Daily Tribute to Saloons for
lntoxicants.

The saloon business cannot exist
without slaves. You may smile at
that statement, but 1t is absolutely
true. Is not the man who is addicted
to the drink habit a slave? There can
be no question about 1t. There are
100000 such slaves in the United
States. They are slaves of the sa-
loon. They go out and work a week
or month. draw their pay, go into
the saloon and hand the saloonkeeper
their money for something which
ruins their lives. Is not this slavery?
Has there ever been in the history of
the world a worse system of slavery?
Think of 100000 men, enslaved by
the liquor habit, carrying their earn
ings to the salOonkeepers every day
In the year, 1t is quite natural of
course that the Shareholders should
not care to liberate these slaves

Following the publication Of an &C.
count Of a disaster which has recently
befallen a great colony Of herons
which occupied a small island of about
three acres in the marsh near Charles
ton, S, c., a philosophical woman has
contributed 800 toward the purchase
of the island
On the island from one thousand to
three thousand herons Of five different
kinds-including the snowy egret, the
rarest and most beautiful of all the
heron tribe-hac their homes and
reared their young. A brief time ago
the owner Of the island An Atlanta
man, practically wiped out the. heronry
by having the bushes which covered
the place cut away and the island
planted in oats.
Today two or three hundred herons
still breed in the few bushes that re-
main on the island, while it is believed
that the greater number of the birds
have established themselves on anoth
er island near by.

PREVENTION OF DRUNKENNESS
While Sale of Liquor Is Permitted
Money Must Be Spent in Fight
Against Alcoholism.

Within the past few years the cam
paign against tuberculosis has been
waged with such remarkable success
that many people are hopeful that 1t
will, in another decade, cease to be
menace to the public health Why"
asks the student OF social conditions,
cannot an equally successful cam
paign be carried on against intemper-
ance and the use OF alcoholic liquorsr
One Of the speakers at the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
ton in Boston. stated the reason. in
a convincing way, when he said We
don't organize anti-tuberculosis cam
paigns and then open places in the
same community for the sale OF
tuberculosis germs"
So long as We permit the sale of
drunkenness germs. we must needs
spend money and energy in fighting
alcoholism-in places high and low.

FILLING AND CARE OF SILO
Greater Danger of Putting UP SiIags
Too Dry Rather Than Too Moist
Keep Out Air.

Corn is ready to be cut for silage
when the grain is in the dent and
glazed but can still, be broken with
the thumb nail, says a University of
Missouri press bulletin At this stage
under normal conditions the two or
three bottom leaves will be turning
brown and the shuck will be turning
danger of putting up silage TOO dry
rather than too moist. In a stave silo
the slaves should be frightened up to
exclude the air and generally loosened
little after the silage sWells the
staves. The inside wall OF a concrete
silo should be washed with a thin mix
ture of cement and water every two or
three years. This fills the pores and
keeps the air from the silage.
1t will take at least six teams to
keep the average silage cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too far
ahead or it will dry out too much. Two
men should work in the silo distrib-
uting the silage with forks Where a
silage distributor is used one man is
sufficient. They should keep the silage
higher at the walls than in the CEN
ter and should continually tramp the
silage next to the walls. The tramp
ing is especially to keep out the air
When possible allow the machine to
stand two or three days and refill to
make use of all the capacity. Finish
filling the silo by running in a load of
grass and weeds. This will rot and
seal the top and prevent having to
throw out the same amount of spoiled
silage.
The silage should feel wet after it
is cut in the silo. If the corn is very
mature when cut and is therefore too
dry add water. A small stream may
be run into the blower from a barrel
or tank. 1t is especially important
that the silage be we'll tramped. The
blower should be run few minutes
every morning in order to clear the
atmosphere before anyone enters tina
silo.
The above instructions cover the i'm.
portant points in filling silo.

LARGE ANNUAL LIQUOR BILL
States Estimated at About Two
Billions of Dollars.

The annual drink bill of the United
States is estimated at about $4,000
100000. 1t is absolutely impossible to
grasp the significance Of this state
ment. A few comparisons will give us
perhaps a better idea of the magni-
tude OF this sum. This is an age of
mllitarism. The enormous cost Of mod
ern ornaments, and the burden of the
military establishments of the great
nations OF the world, cause great con-
Germ to statesmen everywhere. And
yet the sum total of the combined mil
ltary budgets of the ten leading ma
tions of the earth, Germany, France,
Russia, Great Britain, Japan, the
United States, Austria-Hungary, Spain,
Italy and Turkey, for 1910 was only
Sl,665,8S9, 900, or about $350,0O0,O0O
less than the drink bill OF the United
States for the same year If the
money spent for drink in the United
States in one year could be trans
ferred into one dollar bills, it would
be SUFFICIENT to give a one dollar bill to
each inhabitant of the earth, and still
leave a surplus of s500,O00,OOO. With
1t We could have paid off the interest
bearing national debt, twice over. Our
total exports in 1911 were valued at
2,Ol3,549,000. Our imports in the
same year amounted to $1.527, 945, 900.
Comparing this with the amount spent
for intoxicants we begin to realize the
great drain upon our resources caused
by the drink habit and the drink traf-
fic.
