BAN ON MODERATE DRINKING
Employers Of Prominent Railway syS
tenn Prohibit Employees From
Touching Alcoholic Liquor.

The use OF alcohol is receiving some
hard knocks these days, A prominent
railway system, not contented with the
general rule heretofore In force on rail-
ways forbiddlng employees TO drink
while on duty now forbids employees
to indulge at all In drinking out OF EN-
ployment hours, or in any other con
duct which will impair their health
or make them less alert and less cap
able while on duty. The owner OF
one OF the nations pets-a prominent
baseball team-announced that mod
Grafton in drinking is not sufficient;
the players on his team must leave
alcohol entirely alone and abondon Gig
arets. The justification for such rules
may be found not only In the difficulty
Of being moderate In indulgence, but
also in the cumulative and after-ef-
fects OF dissipation. The world is
moving; the old fetish Of personal lib.
erty" at whatever cost of danger to
the public at large seems to be losing
its power. The time may come when
every man to whom the life and safety
Of others are entrusted may be eX'
pected or even required to be as alb
stemious as the ball players and rail-
way employees just mentioned.-Jour

Why Maurice Barrymore Conceived

All the good stories which The late
Maurice Barrymore. father Of Ethel

probably never will be. Barrymore was
in Kansas City just prior to his final
collapse and here is a story ae told:
Barrymore was Mrs. Leslie Carriers

actress appeared in Belasco's produc-
ton of The Heart Of Maryland" In
the big third act Barrymore, the hero,

INTEMPERANCE AS A DISEASE
Or. Macmillan orossman Declares the
Question ls One to Be Handled
by the Doctors.

In an address before the last Ina
ternational Congress Of Hygiene in
Washington, d. c., DR.. Macmillan
Grossman, director of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Education
of Exceptional Children, declared that
intemperance was a disease and a
question to be handled by the doctors.
The utterance has been widely quoted
in the liquor press as bolstering up
the arguments of the anti-prohibltion-
lists. What all thinking, common
sense people ask is that the manu-
facture and sale of that which direct
ly causes this disease of intemperance
be forbidden by law. Our national
health is physically our greatest as

president of the United States. TIC
prevent any possible deterioration OF
the American stock should be a ma
tional ambition. The preservation oil
national vigor should be a matter Of
patriotism"
The alcohol question is therefore
national issue.

NOW TIME FOR ACTION
DELAY IN PASSAGE or TARIFF
BILL NOT TO BE TOLERATED.
American Electorate Has Declared
Emphatleally for Revision Down
ward and Placed Democratic
Party In Power TO Garry
II Out.

The tarlff bill now before congress
should be passed without delay SIX
weeks az most should see II on the
statute books.
Congress has assembled In extra SEES
sion, not 70 try a case. but to put Ia
effect a judgment already rendered
by the American people. The Aldrich
tari1 was condemned last fall by un-
animous vote. Not one OF the three
leading parties dared defend that mon.
strosity In platform or on the stump.
by an enormous plurality, the Ameri-
can electorate declared for the Dem
ocratio plan OF tariff revision. That
plan, as stated in the present bill,
should go into effect at once.
The demaia for prompt action can
not be objected to as haste" It Ia
more than four years since Mr. Taft
was elected on a pledge Of downward
revision OF the tariff II Is nearly
three years since the country rang
with denunciation OF Mr.. Taft fol
breaking that pledge by signing the
| Aldrich bill.
1t is more than two years since the
people committed to a Democratic con
gress the work which the Republican
party had refueed to do and five
months have passed since final judg
ment was rendered last November. i
is time, high time. to put that judg
ment into effect.
President Wilson and Democratic
leaders in congress are trying to lif
the burden of government from tn
tired backs Of the poor, and transfer
to the shoulders OF the rich. Stand
patters can hold back this benehcen
work II they will-but they must do
in the open, and bear full respons
bility for every hour of delay.

Matter With the Currency.

THE present banking and currency
system was invented during the Civil
war. AS with the Monitor. 1t was a
case of necessity being the mother
of invention" writes John d. Lamson,
in Harper's Weekly THE Monitor
did good work in ga But times
change. Ericson's invention was a
wonder at the time, but you would
hardly expect the old Monitor to go
up against a modern battleship. No
more can we expect to get today's
business properly done with the help
Of the old currency SYSTEM In fact,
between the old cheesebox-on-a-raft
and the modern dreadnought there is
less difference than between business
conditions In 1864 and business COD
ditions at present"

CARING FOR LITTLE CHICKS
First Duty 10 10 Provide Suitable Coop
for Hen and Brood-Two Methods
Of Feeding.

During the Matching. II you are

will allow the instinct Of the hen to

ly reach under the hen and remove
such egg shells as can be taken out
without disturbing her, but nothing

The first duty is TO provide a coop

laid down TO the most improved pat
ented article, is used See that II Is
clean and the bottom covered with
find sand, or II the weather be really
cold, with oat chan or short fine hay.
When the chickens are twenty-tour
hours old they are ready to be re-
moved TO their new quarters. Up to
this time, writes NJ +. Scully OF I'LL
nois in the Prairie Farmer, they
should have received no food, but they
are now ready for their first meal.
Give them water to drink in a vessel
into which they cannot get their
bodies. A tin vegetable can with
small holes punched around the bot
tom and placed in a deep saucer will
answer admirably. Whatever their
first food may be, give them only a
small quantity, The best rule for
feeding is little and often"
Two distinct methods Of feeding
have their special advocates, the wet,
that is, ground feed molstened with
milk or water; and the dry. ! find
the latter method the more satisfac
tory. l feed cracked wheat, corn and
oatmeal

pronounced against protection and
promised tariff revision on revenue
lines. Let them keep their promise
now. Huggermugger wins, when at

that game twenty years ago, and lost

by a square redemption of a square
promise. than by tricky compromise.

tricky one will be Wash
