John Wanamaker Urges Brotherhood
To Forward Movement
At a recent meeting OF a chapter of
the Brotherhood of Andrew and Phil

the merchant prince, called upon the

liquor traffic from the state. This APP
peal for members TO put into the
battle for prohibition greater energy
will be sent out To every chapter. Mr.
Wanamaker said:
THE city has been all upset the
past week over the preparation at the
navy yard 10 get ships ready for un-
certain war. BY that, | don't mean
the outcome of the war would be un-
certain, but the possibilities OF war.
I'VE are not getting ready for a war
that may come, but for war that is
on. This Brotherhood of St Andrew
and Philip is an army of God, and
stands against the power behind the
our homes and taking away our man
hood and spelling the lives of our
women
The Brotherhood of Andrew and
Philip stands against the liquor traffic.
| call on all to enlist in the cause for
which we stand. We must help to
hurry along that great stream that
is coming down the river, for it means
destruction 10 the liquor traffic.
Cod is our commander, and he will
be victorious. We must take another
step forward instead of resting on
the honors already won.
The servant craveth naught
Except TO serve with might;
was not told 10 win or lose,
My orders are to fight.
Brewers Death Rate High
In a statistical investigation covering
fifteen years the Austrian minister OF
the interior found that the highest
death rate was among brewery em-
ployes, according To special cable
gram to the Chicago Daily News. The
inquiry dealt with the illnesses and
rates OF mortality in various occupa-
lions included in forty-one groups.
The death rate of the brewers was
lao per cent, their mortality being
more than double that of the miners,
whose rate was go per cent, and also
much above the rates in what are gen.
orally classed as unhealthful occupa-
tons, such as the glass, porcelain and
stone mason industries. Next to the
brewers death rate was that OF the
textile workers. The sickness statis-
tics Of the brewers made a more favor
able showing than those of some other
trades, indicating that as class the
brewers are healthy enough, fact
which makes their high death rate
all the more significant"

the longest of any infantryman in the

what of it? 1t depends upon whether
