DRINKERS DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence of the effect Of
alcohol on the moderate drinkers is
offered by the Life Extension insti-
tute. The bulletin issued to its mem
bers shows that in one Canadian and
three British life insurance companies
the mortality among so-called moder-
ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
and healthy risks, exceeded the death
rate among the abstainers by rs, 81,
So and A per cent, respectively.
New data was recently compiled by
forty-three American life insurance
companies. covering a period of TWEEN
ty-five years, with the following re-
suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac-
cepted as standard risks, death rate SO

that higher death rate among alco-

expect to find in the light of what we
know regarding its effects on the

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.

To keep young Is to keep healthy,
and to keep healthy is to keep from
being poisoned. Our waste products
poison us, and drink and drugs and
improper food add to it. Perhaps
never before was there so much con-
scious effort to counteract the process,
says the Medical Times. An earlier
generation did it by simpler food and
more constant work in the open air
with less thought to any of it. But
we have grown in invention of every
thing, and with greater wealth has
come greater Indulgence and with 1t
greater danger from the poisons that
make. against health. The defense
against all the poisons that thus beset
US Is the liver, and the purpose of
right living Is to keep it in good con.
dition. The other thing of prime i'm
Our bodies must be fed with oxy-
gen and relieved of waste which is
cast into the blood and carried
through the circulation by central
pump and tubes to be cast out. So
another needed thing is to keep spry
If you would keep young. With bod
lily activity must be mental activity.
The mind can grow permaturely old
as well as the physical system. The
brain must be properly fed. Mental
sloth invite mental decay. Youth is
buoyant, age is easily depressed. To
restore buoyancy is part of the pro-
cess of keeping young and hence OF
keeping in health.
Muscles unused, atrophy and de-
cay, and this is true of the minds as
Of the body. Worry is baneful to the
mind and helps to disturb physical
functions, bringing on the "old" look.
Youthfulness in appearance which is
based on fact depends on digestion,
sleep, work, play. and these rest
largely on food and conduct. The
mind must not be allowed to rust
any more than the body. 1t must
work and play. If nothing better can
be done get hobby. And, above all,
be cheerful and keep occupied.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.


The liquor interests have unwilling
ly given prohibition In West Virginia
much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that deficit In the
state treasury is due to the loss of
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens of the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
ject. In the light Of the moral, social
and economic benefits derived from
the prohibitory law, testified to by
men of every class. a deficiency of a
few thousand dollars seems of COM
paratively little Importance.
AS a matter of fact the loss Of the
100000 year in revenue to West
Virginia as a result Of the adoption of
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi-
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In letter written by the
state auditor, which has recently been
made public, he shows that five cents
additional state taxes on the hundred
dollar valuation will take care of the
money loss on liquor licenses. This
would cost man whose property was
assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; If he
has $4,000 worth, he would have to
pay one dollar, and II he had $4,000,
he would be obliged to oxpend five
dollars. So much for the enormous
load of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners Of the state because
of prohibition! The payment of such
insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to a level-headed business man
as mighty good investment.

Pluck Of Fighting Irish Is Shown on a
Deathbed.

London. THE man who dies at
home doesn't know the pleasure Of
death: and l would much rather die
here than in the most comfortable bed
you could rig up at home"
This is what a dying Irish soldier
in a rough field hospital at Ypres told
Lieut. H. R. Watson of the Highland
Light Infantry.
The soldier came of long line of
fighting stock. His father died on the
battlefield of Abu Klea, his fathers
father at Islandlwhana, his paternal
great-grandfather at Alma and his
grandfather's father at Waterloo. An
own brother fell in the Boer War at
Glencoe and another now lies wounded
in a military hospital.
81 know l am dying" said the
soldier, "but don't mind. It's always
our luck and runs in our family like
wooden legs. There is joy in fighting
that appeals to me-, and l wouldn't miss
this set-to for all the world"
The mans last words to his officer
were: "Good-by, old chap; you were
my superior day or two ago, but at
deaths door all men are equal"

SACRED STICKS
GIVE WAR RESULT
Blocks, Also, Help Son of Nippon to
Forecast Crushing of
Germany.
U. S. WILL BE THE MEDIATOR
Japan, Naturally, Will Gain by Her
Little Argument with
China.

New York.-The spirits of Nippon
descended to whisper into the ears of
Don-Show Kodama, master of the
mysteries of divination by the Songi
blocks, the jeichiku, or sacred bamboo
sticks, and the ancient Japanese num-
bers. They said that before the end
of March a great naval battle will be
fought in the North Sea, the German
navy will be overwhelmed and crushed
and negotiations for peace will be
started with the United States as med
iatOr.
Through an interpreter the prophecy
was translated: II see two great
powers situated as lightning is to
thunder coming into contact" The
seer gnawed his fingers until the blood
showed through the skin to make the
next point. They are the English
and the Germans. The German feet
has come forward to fight, but it is like
the teeth and food. The English navy
is the teeth, the German the food that
is to be crushed. 1t is difficult crush,
however-just like the bone of a
chicken caught between teeth. But
the bone is finally crushed and swal-
lowed Indicating that the English
navy will crush the Germans and sink
all of the ships). The bone will give
damage to the teeth in crushing, but
not serious. After this the United
States will get very busy and negotia-
lions for peace will be started. Amer
lea will bring all together and have
supreme power in the world"
The prophet called attention to the
predictions he made in December that
Russia would be invaded by the
Kaiser's armies and badly defeated;
that President Wilson would be con-
fronted with three serious problems,
and that submarine methods Of war
fare would be used. Don-Show Ko-
dana points out that several days ago
the Russian forces suffered a serious
reverse in East Prussia, where many
thousands were taken prisoners by the
Germans The seer predicted also that
submarines in the Mediterranean
would sink a number of French YES
sells. So far he is somewhat off on the
location, but recent dispatches said
that the Kaiser was shipping subma-
rines by rail to be used in the Mediter-
ranean. The three American problems
he claims to have predicted are the
fight over the ship-purchase bill, the
Mexican question and the situation in
the Orient
AS to the latter question the Japa-
nese seer predicts that it will be set

"The pieces in chess can only move
in certain specified directions, and, in
the case of most pieces, and all pawns,
over limited space. These restric-
lions are regulated by definite rules"
"In war movement, as regards direc-
ton, is limited by natural obstacles
and by consideration of transport and
supply. In regard to space, it is limit
ed by the marching power of the
troops when they are not transported
by mechanical means. None of these
conditions are subject to rules. There
is, however, another difference that
is still more important. In chess the
right to move alternates between the
players. In war the commander, who
possesses the initiative is not obliged
to abandon it at any particular mo-
ment. But it is useless to pursue the
discussion, which is unlikely to make
clearer what seems fairly obvious. Ar
gument from analogy, especially when
analogy is imperfect, is bad logic.
"The initiative in war is gained at
the outset by the commander whose
army is first modified and concen-
trated in the theater Of war. Hence
the importance Of an organization to
insure rapid mobilization, and speedy
transport of the army to the scene of
action. BY the perfection of their or
ganization the Germans secured the
initiative in France at the beginning
of the war. The initiative may be lost
Of

mans deprived the Russians of the in
itiative when they advanced into Po-
lind in November, between the Vistula
and the Warte, because the Russians
were obliged to abandon their plans
and conform to the German move in
order to defeat it. The almost certain
alternative would have been the de.
feat of their army between the Vistula
and Warte by superior forces, which
would, at the best, have resulted in
serious embarrassment. When the
general engagement in Poland began
the initiative fell in abeyonce, and,
the fighting being still indecic;ve, it re-
mains So"

abled the Allies to accept battle on
