Camp life," said the returned war
correspondent, was not without its
disagreeable features. Frequently we
missed meals because the cookee
didn't know the range. Often our
meals consisted Of hot shot served
on the half shell. Even coming back
on the transport we couldn't get up
card games because the ship had only
a quarter deck. Even the mems wages
suffered, for when our boat landed we
were docked."

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

As old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape.
Nuts, made Of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the outer-coat of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat Of the wheat darkens the flour
and is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-balanced building of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.

Iowa man, "for years and feel as

COST OF THE DRINK TRAFFIC
Some Startling Figures Given Regard.
Ing Expense Of Liquor Business =
to People Of the Nation.

The Union Signal, official organ Of
tho National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, gives some startling
figures regarding the cost of the liquor
traffic to the nation and points out the
need of wiser financiering. 1t has
this to say concerning the revenue
argument:
The federal government collects
some $220,000.000 year from the
liquor business. This includes special
taxes paid by brewers, distillers and
dealers. The estimated amount re-
ceived by state, county and municipal
governments in license and tax is
about $75,000.000. Thus the total In
ter1fal revenue from the traffic Is
something less than $350000,000. 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 1t
abolished were 1t not for the delusion
that there Is financial profit in icens-
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 tho voting
public generally win some time be
convinced that it is very poor finan-
ciering to foster an industry which
makes 80 many people non-producers,
results in the degeneration of fam
lilies, and throws an army of incapables
upon the state and upon charity Or
ganizations. But they will have to be
Shown" 1t behooves US as prohibit
tionists and as public sentiment max
ers to show them that "the cost of the
drink traffic to the United States ap-
proximates annually $5,000,00O,00O In
loss of products, mortality and IN
crime and pauperism." Five billion
dollars as against three hundred and
fifty million-a balance of $4,650, ,OOO,-
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
full and conservative investigation
made by expert statisticians.
We must show further that abolt
tion of the liquor business does not
mean abolition of the money 1t repre-
sents; that under nationwide prohi-
hilton the same s35O 600. 600 will st{ll
be in circulation, still available for
government needs; and that there are
better and wiser ways of collecting
it from the people than through sa'
loonkeepers and brewers and distillers.
The new income tax amendment to
the federal constitution provides one
way. Other ways and means Will
quickly be devised as the brains OF
voters, lawmakers and government
financiers become more and more free
from the benumbing and befogging in
f1uence Of alcohol.
