THE KAISER AN ABsrANER.


 (F-rom the Kansas City Times-)
 The German Emperor. one of the worlds leading advocates of efficien- cy, has become a total abstafner. He has given up drinking because medi- cal data and his own. experience con- vinced him that even moderate drink ing impaired efficiency.
 That is the modern trend. Ath- letes aren't allowed to drink while they are in training. It puts them out of condition. Big corporations are beginning to insist that their em- ployes leave liquor alone. Every where the weight of opinion is against drinking drinking-on the ground that it makes the drinker less efficient mentally and is apt to un- dermine his health.
 How strong this opinion is becom- ing is indicated by it's latest distin- guished convert in Germany.
