WAR ON LIQUOR WORLDWIDE
Secretary Of State Bryan Tells Unlor
League Club Of Chicago Of
Temperance Work.

May we not appeal to the young
men OF this country to abstain from
the use OF alcohol, that their brains
may be clear and their nerves steady
for the battles OF peace and progress
that lie before u.s."
These ringing words are part Of a
speech delivered by Secretary Of
State William J Bryan-not before a
temperance audience or a young peo-
pies society, but before the Union
League club Of Chicago, company OF
hard-headed business men.
In most OF the countries OF Eu-
rope" Mr.. Bryan said, you will find
that the liquor question is the moral
question of paramount importance.
was In northern Ireland some two
years and a half ago and met the man
who recognized what is known as the
'Catch-Me-Pal Total Abstinence So
ciety. II began with a meeting on the
street between a minister and FIVE
drunken men, and one OF them asked
the minister TO get the other four to
sign the pledge. He invited them to
come to his house when they we're
sober and to sign, and they came. and
when the FIVE had signed they went
out and got five more, each man bring
ing back his pal, and five more sign
ed. and then the ten went out and got
ten more, and they organized this 80
ciety. which when | was there. had
reached a membership of 100000 and
had changed the lives and habits OF
whole communities And a Belfast
lady told me a story that was the out
growth OF the work done by this so
ciety She said that many drunkards
had been reformed and that a minis
ter. speaking to the wife Of one OF
these reformed men. said Your home
! life must be more pleasant now, since
your husband has quit drinking and
she said: oh, yes, yes, he is more
like a friend now than a husband
/ (Laughter) And such a change can
be accomplished and can take place
under favorable circumstances.
France, one of the greatest wine
producing countries in the world, has
decided to teach in the schools the
effect Of alcoholism on the system.
But the most startling piece of news
comes from Germany. Some two
years ago the emperor, speaking to
the naval cadets at Vevey, dared to
attack what he described as the tradi-
tional beer-drinking habits Of his peo-
pie. He told these young men that in
any contests that might arise the
country must depend upon them, and
that 1t could not do so unless their
brains were clear and their nerves
steady, and then he warned them that
alcohol would rob their brains Of
clearness and their nerves of steadi-
ness, and in the name of the Father
land he appealed to them to join total
abstinence societies. and he held up
for their own example the total alb
stinence societies of the British navy
And when | read this appeal of Ger
many's emperor to the young men Of
that country to be strong for war
asked myself: May we not appeal to
the young men of this country to alb
stain from the use of alcohol, that
their brains may be clear and their
nerves steady for the battles of peace
and progress that lie before us!'"

The steamship Of the future will
be provided with a theater, moving
pictures, newspapers and every lux
ury and convenience enjoyed on land.
The only difference will be that the
life of a steamship as distinguished
from life on terra firma will be one
of motion. Even the subjugation of
seasickness is among the near con-
quests of the future, and ambitious
minds may already be indulging
dreams OF line of airships surprising
even the ocean liners in all the com
forts of home.

1t Paws to Save the Manure.

Nitrogen is worth at least eight cents
pound. A horse will produce fifteen
tons of manure and litter a year, con-
tanning one hundred and thirty pounds
of nitrogen. st eight cents a pound, the
value of that manure is 5000. 1t pays
to save it. Experiments have shown
that liquid and solid manures when kept
together deteriorate much more rapidly,
Also the more compact the manure is
stored away from the weather, the least
loss will result.

STEPS INTO HIS BOSS JOB

Representative John A. Key OF
Marion. Ohio, is not the first private
secretary to a congressman to step
into his boss job in the house, but 1t
is a rare enough thing when it does
happen. John Key was secretary OF
the late Representative Carl Ander-
son for four years, and learned
enough Of the practical side of politics
to get twice as many votes as his
Republican opponent last fall.
Key takes his Pace now with
fine and distinguished line of former
secretaries. For instance, Senator
Norris Sheppard of Texas, who went
to the upper house March 4, was once
secretary to his father in the house of
representatives Governor Cox Of
ONO. once a representative, started
in to do big things when he was sec

A New Jersey man, whose automo
bile became stalled while he was try
ing to back 1t into a garage, suspects
that some one had put water into his
gasoline tank. 1t is always easy to
determine whether you are dealing
with water or with gasoline, and the
South Orange man was posted on this
point. He opened the tap, letting a
thin stream from the tank dribble
upon the ground. Then he lighted a
match and threw It into the midst Of
the pool that was forming below the
automobile, knowing that If it was wa

In the interests of the People.

In the past, tariff bills have been
shaped by two leading influences. One
was the direct influence of the men
who wanted a tariff to guarantee their
profits. The other was the influence
of the senators and representatives
who fought to get as many favors for
their states as were given to any other
state. The Underwood bill was shaped
by methods directly contrary to these.
The bill was drawn for the whole
country and by method which grant
ed no favors either to persons OF sec

The whole country was touched by
the loss of human life in the flooded

men and children, and yet, according

the American Underwater, every
year in the United States $4,000 per-

One of the most delightful states of
mind to which the average man is sub
ject is uncertainty as to the exact SEN
timent entertained for him by a wom-
an whom he admires, and whom he
knows to like him, but whom he is
not dead set upon winning for himself.
One of the most unpleasant states is
certainty that a woman deeply loves
him when 1t is inconvenient or impos.
sible for him to reciprocate. Yet often
only a hairs breadth separates these
two states-or only a few minutes In
time.

Destroying Weeds.

A good system of rotation, that in
cludes cultivated crops, offers the best
means of combating the common weeds;
but its success is almost entirely de-
pendent upon the manner and persisten-
cy with which the soil is cultivated. To
insure reasonable success, the disk and
harrow should be used frequently while
the weeds are still small, and the crops
while growing should be given frequent
cultivation.

Senator McCumbers contention is
that the Underwood revision will in

is right about that his prediction
about what the farmers will do at the
polls next year is likely to be fulfilled.
But the Democratic contention is that
the farmers will benefit from the new
revision; and If that should prove to
be true, the farmers are likely to con-
tinue in the new alliance they formed
last year.
