Kansas Is Soldering Up.

Drunkenness in Kansas has decreased
in the thirty years 5000 per cent as COM
pared with the neighboring State OF Mis-
souri,, says Edwin Locke. ID. d., thirty
years Methodist pastor in Kansas. Ac-
cording to the Brewers Yearbook for
1911 people of the State paid the govern
ment tax on less than one-hundredth OF a
gallon per capita, while our neighbors to
the east OF us paid a tax OF 36.92 per cap
ita. and the one TO the north OF us paid
1928 gallons per capita.
A little more thar one half OF the county
jails are empty, Is out Of the l05 counties
OF the State have no inmates in the State
penal institution and many counties have
not had jury to try criminal In ten
years.
The number of convictions TO the pen
itentiary per thousand inhabitants is less
than that of any other State In the Union
except North Dakota and North Carolina,
and both OF them have prohibition laws;
and large majority OF our convictions
come from the border counties OF the
State, where liquor can be brought IN
easily across the State line.
Illiteracy has in these thirty years been
reduced from 40 per cent to less than 9
per cent. The State has an invested
school fund OF more than $4,000, 900.
There are more than $4,000 children In
her public schools, none of whom ever
saw an open saloon in the State and lew
of whom have ever seen drunken man;
while more than q 900 oi our young peo-
pie are in colleges OF the State.

Inconspicuous Service.

The onrush and pother OF small river
catch the eye and seize the attention even
of the wayfarer. In the great family Of
moving waters its role is that of irrespon-
sible youth. Its elder brother, the great
river that moves changelesslY onward in
sedate silence, is less spectacular. Be-
cause if is not torrential, people take it as
matter of course. Those who live be-
side il are accustomed to look upon it as
no more remarkable than the country
through which it flows. They overlook
not only its influence on their lives, but
the way if binds them to other regions
and unknown people.
"Where does the river 90 ?" asks the
boy in Stevenson's story, "Will O. the
Mill" and the miller answers:
at goes down the valley, and turns a
power OF mills-six score mills, they say,
from here to Unterdeck-and is none the
wearier, after all. And then if goes out
into the lowlands, and waters the great
corn country, and runs through sight of
fine cities $50 they say where kings live
all alone in great palaces, with a sentry
walking up and down before the door.
And it goes under bridges with stone men
upon them, looking down and smiling so
curious at the water, and living folks
leaning their elbows on the wall and look
ing over. too. And then it goes on and
on, and down through marshes and sands,
until at last il falls into the sea, where
the ships are that bring parrots and to-
bacco from the Indies. Aye, it has a
long trot before it as it goes singing over
our weir, bless its hearth
To the old man the river was not only
a thing of beauty in itself, but an agent OF
beneficence; and any one has only to
listen to the unfaing commencement OBJ
servatons about "the river OF life'' TO
realize that there is opportunity for in
Vulnerable comparisons between rivers
and the world OF men.
Some OF the resemblanceS are indivi-
dual. Every one knows the man who
rushes noisily about, and makes such
turmoil that no one can question his act
ivity. He appears to be very busy, as he
hurries along, sputtering and tuning at
every obstacle yet in spite of the noise
he makes, there is no depth to him, and
not much real service to be got out Of
him. He is the little-river type.
Then there is the other person, quiet,
deep, self-controlled. He does not make
nearly so much fuss as the first man, but
in his modest and unostentatious way he
accomplishes great deal more. He may
be so inconspicuous that hardly any one
notices him. None the less, he moves
steadily onward, doing the things that lie
before him, serving the needs OF others
unasSumingly. Whether his fellow men
pay any heed to him or not, he continues
to help them as he goes his way.
That is the big-river type OF person; |;
he moves through life so normally that
few notice ilim, yet he never ceases to be
of use to all with whom he comes in
contact.

Railroad Accidents Blamed on Whisky.

Railroad Accidents Blamed on Whisky.
Whisky is the cause OF most OF the ac-
cidents on railroads.
Booze does more harm in the industr-
al world than all other evils put together.
These were the utterances of c. W..
Egan, general claim agent OF the B. & o.
Railroad, in talk on Safety First" be-
fore the Traffic Club at PHILADELPHIA. In
his lecture he showed pictures of men
who had been injured and killed while
under the influence Of alcoholic drink.
He declared that 90 per cent OF the acci-
dents occurring on the railroads OF this
country are preventable and that most OF
these are caused by rum.
"The railroads have a right to protect
the public" declared Mr.. Egan. "To do
so it is absolutely necessary that railroad
employees who drink be discharged.
"When the liquor business is put out
of commission" he went on. "many Of
the ills Of humanity will be wiped out
and many OF the accidents of the indus
al world will never occur"

Fever.

When a person has fever, the tenn
perature of his body is greater than the
normal heat that il maintains in health.
Therefore fever is not definite disease,
but a physical symptom that indicates dis
ease. Itaccompanies many different kinds
of illness, from a fleeting indispoSition,
such as a cold in the head or an attack Of
indigestion, to such prolonged and severe
diseases as typhoid fever and acute rheu-
matism, which often menace and some
times actually take life.
We have had the clinical thermometer
with which TO test temperature less than a
hundred years, but in ancient times doc
tors well understood the importance OF
the symptom. They judged it by the
pulse rate. and for many years treated 1t
by blood-lettting.
After the clinical thermometer was in
vented there was time when physicians
gave to fever itself too much importance;
the whole treatment was directed 10 beat
ing il down without sufficient regard TO
its exciting cause. Then came a reac-
ton; fever took its proper place as one
symptom among others, and its value as
a means OF diagnosis was at last recog-
nized.
That Can be clearly seen in the case OF
typhoid fever. When high fever per-
sists for days and weeks, or when il sud-
denly rushes up 10 an alarming point, il
means that there is some condition al
work that the physician must search for
and combat.
The fact that something is wrong when
ever any degree Of fever appears suggests
at once what you should do. The first
thing is TO put the patient TO bed in a
well-ventiated room until diagnosis
can be made. A fever patient needs all
his strength merely to sustain his temper
ature, without trying TO do anything
more. Bed is the best place in which TO
preserve his forces.
The room should be well-ventilated
and cool, because the patient is miserably
conscious OF being too warm. The fear
OF Catching cold on fever" often causes
well-meaning friends to torment suffer-
er with heavy bedclothing and stuffy air.
On the other hand, keep drafts away
from him, and watch carefully for any
chillinesS in his extremities. His diet
must be very light. Further treatment
depends upon the cause of the fever, and
is a matter for the doctor 10 decide.

After the Gun Men.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.-The government
today formally took UP the question OF
framing an anti-gun law in Germany
similar to the Sullivan anti-ire-arm
law in New York. The step was taken
because of veritable wave of murders
and crimes committed here in the past
few months by gun carriers. A portion
of the military press has taken a stand
against the proposed legislation on
the ground that forbidding the carry
ing of arms tends to "soften and weak
en- the people of a nation. The arms
industry, one of the largest in all Ger
many, also is raising voice against
such legislation. The Neuste Mach
richten of Leipzig, an influential paper
declares ''the raising and training OF
the German youth is already affected
too much by sickly, sentimental
weakening of martial spirits
