Reform of this nature began first
with the railroads Above all other

ago, crews were forbidden to drink
while on duty. The interdict is grad

COST OF THE DRINK TRAFFIC
Some Startling Figures Given Regard
ING Expense Of Liquor Business
10 People Of the. Nation.

The Union Signal. Official organ OF
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, gives some startling
agures regarding the cost OF the liquor
traffic TO the nation and points out the
need Of wiser financierlng II has
this to say concerning the revenue
argument:
The federal government collects
some S22O,OO0.O0O a year from the
liquor business. This includes special
taxes paid by brewers, dlstillers and
dealers. The estimated amount re-
ceived by state, county end municipal
governments in license and tax Is
about $75,OOO,OOO Thus the total in
ternal revenue from the traffic Is
something less than S35O.OO0,00O. The
average legislator and many good
citizen is honestly OF the opinion that
these liquor millions are needed to
help meet the enormous expenses OF
government. They sincerely deplore
the liquor evil and would gladly see It
abolished we're 1t not for the delusion
that there Is financial profit In licens-
ing the same. They see the money
pouring into the nations Golfers, see
the amount placed in the credit col
umn of the ledger, and go their way
without stopping to consider the debit
side Of the account.
Government officials and the voting
public generally win some time be
convinced that it is very poor finan'
ciering to foster an industry which
makes so many people non-producers,
results In the degeneration Of fam
lilies, and throws an army Of incapables
upon the state and upon charity or
CARNATIONS. But they will have to be
shown" It behooves US as prohibi'
tionists and as public sentiment max
ers to show them that "the cost OF the
drink traffic to the United States ap'
proximates annually S5,000,000,OOO In
loss OF products, mortality and In
crime and pauperism." Five billion
dollars as against three hundred and
City million-a balance OF $4,65OOOO'
900 on the debit page! 1t requires
more than thirteen times the amount
of revenue received from the traffic
to take care of its consequences! The
figures are astounding, but they are

Liquor Problem" the result of care

made by expert statisticians.
We must show further that aboli

mean abolition of the money 1t repre-
sents; that under nationwide prohi

CORN STALK DISEASE.
By G. r. WHITE,

State Veterinarian.
A fatal cattle disease, the cause Of
which has long been attributed to corn
stalks, has appeared almost every Oeto-
Der and November for half century
throughout the southern states, and par
ticulatly the Mississippi aVlley. 1t APP
pears that this disease is confined 10
that area OF the United States where
the corn is allowed 10 mature in the
field and is then harvested by picking
the ears from the standing stalk, leay-
ing the stalk in the field.
The definite cause Of this disease IL

authorities claim that the cornstalk it.

known that it requires the Indigestion

duee death in cattle under ordinary eli

Corn stalk disease is probably an in

fore its presence is even suspected. Cat
tie that have appeared in perfect health
today may be dead tomorrow.
It appears that from the fourth to
the eighth day after turning cattle in
corn stalk fields is the most dangerous
period. At least most cases Of corn
stalk disease will develop during that
time
Symptoms-It should be born in
mind that the insidious nature and rapid
course of development of this disease
usually results in the death of the ami
NAL before the presence Of the disease il
self is detected At first there is slug
gishness, loss of appetite, great thirst,
trembling and chilly sensation and inco-
ordination of movement. Later we OBJ
serve inability to rise from partial or
complete paralysis, head resting on the
ground and fully extended, constant
movement of head from side to side,

slant movement (dancing) of the eye

and grunt, signifying great distress
Dstension of abdomen with gas (bloat)
is a frequent sequelae of this diseases,
especially is "bloat" observed in most
cases after they have been in a recum'
bent position for several hours.
Treatment-It is far more satisfac'
tory to prevent corn stalk disease than
it is to cure the actual sick animals
It should be remembered that pasturing
in stalk fields is always attended with
certain amount of danger to cattle
hence when animals are allowed access
to pastures of this character they should
be watched closely for the first symp
toms of sickness. If the disease devel
