PROHIBITION SPREADING.

nous Consumption of Beer.


1t is generally thought that Germany
drinks more beer than any other ma
ton in the world. This is mistake.
Germany comes second. The United
States consumes 100000 gallons
of beer each year which is l00,OOO.OOO
gallons more than Germany's consump-
ton. Russia leads the world in its
use of distilled liquors, and the United
States comes second, with it consump-
ton of 133,000,O0O gallons. Although
the United States is first as beer
drinking nation and second as q con-
sumer of distilled spirits among the
nations of the world, the liquor dealers
of America are having a desperate
fight for the life of their traffic.
The saloon has been expelled from
One-half of the population and from
two-thirds of the geographical area of
the country. In 1868 there were $780,
600 people living in territory where
the drink traffic had been outlawed; in
1900 the number had increased to 49,
100000; in 1908, or only eight years
after, the number had doubled to &c.
000,O00, and today there are 46,029, ,750
persons, or fraction over one-half
Of the population of the country, liv-
ing in no license territory.
In the last five years the no license
population has increased little over
100000, which is more than 10 per
cent Of the total population of the ma.
tion and 80 per cent increase in the
number living In dry" districts. Since
1868 the population of the country has
doubled, while the number of inhab-

KITES IN WARFARE.

France Adopts Them For Both Navr
and Military Service.
In these days Of aeroplanes and dir
igibles, kites seem out of place. But
the French military authorities do not
take that view. Several months ago
the army adopted kites as a part of
air defense, and now the navy has
done the same.
One duty for which these naval kites
is designed is to survey a port from a
blOckading squadron. The kite has one
advantage over the aeroplane-wind is
a help instead Of hindrance.
In using kites from shipboard the
ship can supply the wind, as a speed
of eighteen knots .bles the kites to
raise an observer.
The type of kite invented by Captain
Saconney is arranged to fold up In
little compass. 1t can be assembled In
five minutes, while another party is ar
ranging the windlass and rigging.
In fifteen minutes from the start the
observer can be in the air In his cradle,
and In five more he can reach height
of 1000 feet. He is of course connect
ed with the deck by telephone.-Bo

FRESH AIR IN PUFFS.
That's the Latest Idea For Securing
Perfect Ventilation.

That's the Latest Idea For Securing
Perfect Ventilation.
Puffs Of fresh air, first from one di-
rection and then from another, is the
latest idea for ventilation Of theaters,
schools and even homes-puffs strong
enough so that person would feel
them. The new theory Of ventilation,
which has had fairly widespread sup
port in the last few months, is that
still air is just as uncomfortable as
bad air and that ventilation that
brings into room air in sufficient
quantities is not satisfactory unless
some motion is given to the air.
Experiments have shown that per-
sons In an air tight chamber are as
distressed by still air as they are by
bad air and that stirring up bad air
with fans gives much relief. AS drafts
sometimes cause colds, 1t has been the
practice In most ventilating systems to
bring fresh air into room so as to
cause as little motion of the air as pos
sible and thus avoid drafts.
DR.. Hill of the Chicago bureau of
HOW NuNuHCtS IUG
scheme as method of avoiding drafts,
still retaining all the advantages of
moving air. He points out that In the
fresh open air a person does not catch
cold from frequent puffs of air. but
really enjoys them. and that in a house
1t is not puffs of air. but constant
tlow-perhaps hardly perceptible
low-which causes colds. So he has
planned for theaters pun system to
bring In the fresh mir.
He would have air duets in various
places on the ceiling and walls and
would rush air through these at high
velocity. Fer fifteen seconds he would
have air pulfed out at the people In the
seats from one duct and then have
that duct closed for forty-fve seconds
while other duets were putting. The
duets would operate consecutively, so
that In no one place would there be
a draft.-Saturday Evening Post.
