The per capita consumption OF aico-

and tiny keg represents the amount
used in Kansas.

A RECENT CONVERT.

The announcement OF his conver
sion to prohibition was made at exer.
cises at the Franklin union in Boston
by Ex-Governor Foss, who has been
three times elected chief executive Of
the state OF Massachusetts,.
Il have been thinking that it's about
time for me to stop voting for the H..
censed saloon" said Mr.. Foss. so
long as ! make 1t a rule to have my
superintendents and foremen dis
charge men who are addicted to
liquor, how inconsistent 1t is for me
to support an open saloon near my
manufacturing establishment, where
the men have to go back and forth
two or three times day.
This question Of prohibition is a
very large one. II may be the most
important social, political and moral
question of today. Certainly 1t is an
economic question. From an econom-
ic viewpoint, why shouldn't we have
national prohibition?
Abraham Lincoln said: You can't
have nation half slave and half
free We can't have a nation half
wet and half dry. 1t is impossible per
fectly to enforce prohibition in a
state surrounded by liquor states.
Il believe national prohibition is in
the interest of public health. In my
three years as governor OF Massachu-
sets | saw 10000 or more people
locked up in this state and $5,OOO,OOO
year appropriated for their support.
They were there on account OF liquor,
mainly, II is ridiculous to stand in
the way of this movement. The large
cities get comparatively small fund
from licenses. Aside from every 9th.
er consideration, economically, we
here in America must come to ma.
tional prohibition"

NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPMENT.

NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPMENT.
Many interesting facts are being
brought out concerning the states that
have been under prohibitory laws for
some years, that they may help and
encourage other states that are now
meeting the wet or dry issue and that
will at coming elections have the ques.
tion to decide. The 1910 census shows
that prosperous development along
all lines in North Dakota is startling.
Not only did the population increase
so per cent in the decade from 1900
to 1910, but her wealth increased 2S1.9
per cent, or from 1925, ,166,75l in 1900
to 976.S14,205 in 1910; the value of
farm products increased 211 per cent,
or from s64,252, 900 in 1900 to $500, ,0OO,-
600 in 1910. Its live stock increased
in value in the same period 1876 per
cent, probably larger increase than
any other state. The crops increased
234,4 per cent, or from s53,911, ,419 in
1900 to S1SO,279,S72 in 1910, a per
centage exceeded by no other state.
North Dakota's agricultural wealth is
greater than that of the seven com.
bined New England states. Her bank
deposits from 1898 to 1918 increased
by more than 1000 per cent.

CLEANS THEM OUT,

Alcohol" it is said, will remove
stains from summer clothes" That is
true, but 1t also removes the summer
clothes, the spring, the autumn and
the winter clothes, not only from the
one who drinks 1t, but from the wife
and family as well. 1t removes the
household furniture, the eatables from
the pantry, the smiles from the face
of the wife. the laugh from the inno-
cent lips of his children and the happi-
ness out of his home. AS a remover
OF things alcohol has no equal.

lures Of the discussion recently be-
fore the Association Of Life Insurance

Of a committee which studied the
cases of 100000 policy.holders in an
investigation for 4S life insurance
companies into the causes OF prema-
ture deaths. said that alcohol played
a leading role in Fastening death.

Assurance company has passed

out the loss Of single life of total

insured lives are total abstainers.

Veil Attached to Parasol.

A novelty of the season is the para
sol with veil attached. Yes, the veil
is draped from the edge OF the para
sol rather than from the hat. The eff

help wondering what will happen to
the veil when the parasol is closed.
OF course, one would be able to man
age It at home. but suppose one tried
to close 1t in a crowded shop. 1t
is a same wager that the veil and the
owners temper would be damaged In

so largely with themes of everyday
life. that they lose but little in the

The modern drama began with lb-
sen, and was pushed forward in
England by Rinew and Jones', who
profted much by the reforms Of the
great Norwegian, and in bringing
the old French melodramatic forms
to the highest possible perfection,
paved the way for the great school
of dramatists who are the glory of
our present English literature.
