A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James R. Hanna of Des Moines, la, gives his personal testi- mony to the advantages of prohibition as follows
 'TEe saloons were closed on the 18th of February. All the desirable locations were picked up by other businesses within the next few weeks following. A few out-ofthe-way loca tions are still vacant.
 T cannot see that there Is any ap- preciable effect because of throwing men out of employment and certainly no increase in demands for charity. In fact, it is exactly the other way. The men who lost employment have gone into other lines. Some of them have followed up their former calling in other cities, but the men who were spending in the saloons the money which their families needed are now buying groceries and shoes instead ter tone in every way. In the first place their families are not now in want and in the second place, they are paying their bills for the ordinary necessities. This is making collec- tions noticeably better in other lines so our merchants report
 Our experience proves that a de- cisive policy can handle the bootleg ging very effectually. There will be some illicit sales, to be sure, but they can be reduced to very small mini num-"

HE DID HIS SHARE
How the Rich Man Changed His Mind
 When Tuberculosis Struck Home.

Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri and had made his money in copper and zinc. He had worked hard from boy in the drift up to the rank of foreman, then to superintendent and finally to owner. Sickness never wor- ried him. His six foot giant frame had stood many hard knocks and was good for many more. A year ago in answer to a pretty birl who asked him to buy some seals to help the miners who had tuberculosis he replied That's what l did when I was young. and I've never been sick and have got enough to keep me now"
 1t was different Schofield who ap- preached the Red Cross Seal girl at one of the booths yesterday. In twelve months his daughter had been stolen away by the monster Tuberculosis and his son, just graduating from col lege, had been compelled to drop ev- crything in his search for health from this same disease.

THE PROOF.

A gentleman was riding on the street car the other day when he saw on the advertising spaces, printed in large, clear letters, these words: Pure Rye Whisky-Tones Up the Body, Brightens the Intellect, Invig- orates the Soul" After reading it his eyes dropped involuntarily to the seat beneath the advertisement, and there was drunken man. His eyes were bleared. his face bloated. with red lines of dissipation in it, and his body slouched down in sort of collapsed way common to men under the infiu- ence of liquor. The drunken man was an illustration of the advertisement, and proved the falsehood of 1t. Wine is a rocker"

NO FRIENDS OF J. BARLEYcoRN.

The saloonkeepers of Washington, D. C., were sorely disappointed. 1t is said, because few of the veterans at tending the Grand Army encampment spent their money for drinks. Of the 2O,000 marching only one or two were seen under the influence" One of the old soldiers explained it thus: "The fellows who could drink it or let it alone are not here-nearly all of them are in their graves" It is worthy of note that every one of the 12S members of the post at Hagers- town, Md, is a total abstainer and a prohibitionist. One of the features of the parade which evoked much cheering from the crowds of onlook- CTS was the West Virginia Water Wagon which headed the delegation from that state.
