DOES NOT INCREASE TAXES.

A bulletin issued by the census bu- reau gives the financial statistics of cities with a population of 30,000 and over. The 24 cities having a popula. tion of between 45.000 and 60,00O in cludes Topeka and Wichita, Kan.-the only two in this group located in tenn peranCe states. The average tax rate in the P wet cities is S19,28 per thou sand of assessed valuation. The tax rate of Wichita (59,222 population) Is $15.50; that of Topeka (45,47S popula- tion) is given as S13.10. The current rate of the latter, however, including city, county and state, is but $10.50. Only eight of the cities in license states have a less rate than Wichita; none has a smaller rate than the cur rent rate of Topeka Although Topeka stands at the bottom of the list on pop ulation, only two cieies show a larger assessed valution.

DANGER OF MODERATE DRINKING.

Twenty years ago medical science discovered that the white blood cor puscles are the guardians of the body. defending 1t against disease germs, It Las beef! proved the: even alcohol through it's narcotic effect paralyzes these defenders and makes them pow erless to destroy the invading foes this even after very minute doses of alcohol Moderate drinkers are, 1t is well known, prone to diseases of the liver. This Is because alcohol inter- feres with It's functional duties. Physio- logical science tells US that the liver destroys much of the poisonous waste matter generated in the body When alcohol Is taken into the system the liver, it seems, goes to work to elimi- nate that first. The power of the liver being limited, some of the other work is left undone, waste matter returns into the blood and disease Is the re suit.

National Annual Event at St. Lou,s, Wishes Of New York and Chi.
 cago Notwithstanding.


 Americas first display of 1915 mod els of automobiles will be at St. Louis Oct. to 10, inclusive, Yelled Prophet Week. The New York and Chicago shows will trail along months later, as has been the case for several years.
 This difference in time is perhaps mainly responsible for the nation wide interest that centers about the St Louis autumn show. But the uniqueness of the setting likely also is factor in the coast-tocoast and lakes-to-gulf interest as probably is the centrality of St. Louis, where North South, East and West meet. and which has been described as geo. graphically the most central great city in the United States
 Forest Park Highlands, one of the citys largest and most popular sum mer gardens, where Amerfcas initial display of new models has been staged for several years, will be the scene of this, the eighth annual show This, like its predecessors, will be under the auspices of the St Louis Automo- bile Manufacturers and Dealers As sOciation

The Reyman Brewery has been changed into the Reyman Packing company Additions to the plant cost ing at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars are being built and 1t will employ 400 men.

EDUCATION AND SALOON MONEY.

An American saloon worker was trying to persuade an Irishman to vote for the saloon by using the threadbare argument that if you close up the sa- looms and cut off the revenue, 1t will be necessary to close the public schools. And then what will your boy do for an education?" Well, be- gorrah," said the Hibernian, "Pd rath- CT have my boy learn his A, B, c sin heaven than to be able to read Latin in hell."-Vanguard

 Think of the madness of tho whole process. Yearly, giant masses of our most valuable nutritive substances, grains, fruits, berries, are thrown to these yeast fungi to devour. The fungi devour this yeast and what they leave. their poisonous excreta, is collected h vast quantities, stored in bottles Flu purrvip, rvne into ooll countries, 4dtstrthutad ann"n~ -l, -,,en And now
 ~----OAiS al MSu. aIu IlON 1, day after day, all the organs and tis- sues of the human body are flooded with this poison, even those which se- crete the germ cells, and so the uni versal weakening is carried down into all succeeding generations.
 With half measures we can accom- plish nothing. Only the most radical means promise any success whatever. Our aim is the total prohibition of the production and trade in all alcohol ic drinks
 Our real. our chief enemy, Is the giant capital which is laid down in the brewing. distil1ing and liQuor-sell- ing trades. If prejudices still rule among us it is because this capital controls, directly or indirectly, the whole press, and does not allow prop CT information to get to the people.
 Such horrors as great modern joint-stock brewery perpetuates are unrivaled in the whole worlds his tory. Men in past centuries were made chattel slaves. But the slaves kept their health Men have been killed by thousands. But the children of the murdered remain strong Now they make slaves of them and mur- der them at the same time. They kill them with their children and their children's children. They kill them slowly; they torture them slowly to death

Cycle Cars a Feature.

The sensation of the show will be the display Jf the cycle-cars and vol turetts which are attracting the at tention of automobilists and the pub lie. Six different makes of these lit tie cars, now represented in St. Louis, will be shown for the first time
 The Show Committee, in selecting the plan of decoration, has adhered strictly to the al fresco idea, as this is one of the distinctive features of the St. Louis Automobile Show and has been commended by manufacturers, dealers and visitors from every part of the United States, Canada and Europe It Is believed to show the cars off to better advantage than an indoor display It affords a natural setting alike for the handsome pleas ure motor vehicle or the rakish road ster. The ensemble is more pleasing and gives the prospective purchaser 8 more comprehensive picture of the car In actual use.

Why Always at St. Louis?

Why do New York and Chicago al low St. Louis to get ahead of them year after year ill this way?" is a question frequently heard. It may be answered easily and without humiliat ing either of those cities, according o the show manager, Capt, Robert E.
 Lee, who also is editor of an aulomO- bile publication. They are hindered
 he explains, by conditions that they c2nnot control, but that rest with the Ruler of the Universe. These condl- tions are climatic, The open fall and winter in the South and Southwest in- 0icate to the automobile manufac. turers @ chance for a multitude of early sales. And SO they hurry the new shapes to St. Louis and thus give 'he SOuthecners and 9outhWesterners m opportunity to compare the latest patterns of many manufacturers be- fore buying, not model of the sea- son that Is passing, but one of the season that yet Is to begin to pass.
