Missouri is still pretty wet III
spots, but IS counties in tn:
state are now dry. More thai
half the saloons in the state ara
located in the city of St. Louis.
The entire revenues to counties
and state from the liquor licens-
es in 1914 amounted to 81, ,968,
692. 1t is frequently argued
that the loss of revenue resulting
from prohibition seriously hamp-
ers the affected community. This
is undoubtedly true, but the ef-
fects are only temporary, and
the community sooner or later
adjusts itself to the changed con-
ditions. The gain in other ways
far offsets the loss of public rev.
enue derived from liquor licens-
es. More money is thrown into
the general channels of business,
the per capita savings are great
er, and the productive efficiency
of the people resulting from an
sobriety ACIDS more to
the wealth of the community
than is lost in public revenues
by abolishing the saloon.

When a newspaper gives you
q lot Of free advertising in order
to boom some concert or enter

that are printed week by week
and multiply that mum Der by the
regular advertising rates of the

with the actual money value of

into consideration the fact that

Prohibition in Kansas.

Kansas was pointed to as proof
that prohibition actually does
prohibit, in an address by Arth
ur Capper, governor elect OF
Kansas, before the national con-
vention of the intercollegiate
Prohibition Association at Tope
ka one day last week. He asserts
ed that the fact that Kansas is
prosperous and at peace with it
self is largely due to prohibition.
"Probibition is not an easy
condition to achieve or maintain
he said. 1T takes constant Wig
lance and ceaseiess enforcement
of law"
Kansas has reduced it's per
capita consumption of liquor to
ST. .25 annually as compared to
the $21 annual per capita con
sumption uf the average state
having saloons, the speaker point
ed out. He also asserted--that
Kansas has the lowest percent
age of llliteracy in the United
States, largely as the result of
it's thirty two years of prohibi-
tion and compared conditions in
Kansas with those in Missouri
the nearest state with saloons.
I'm Missouri, one farmer in
100 owns an automobile" he said,
while in Kansas one farmer in
five has a car. Missouri has 1000
saloons into which its people pay
$50, coo, ,OOOa year. Missouri has
but $40 per capita in the savings
banks. Ksnsas, with 225,OOO
less population, has more than
500 per capita and about $500 for
every family within its borders
in the savings banks.
Missouri has millions of dol
liars invested in breweries and
saloons, but Kansas lent $50, ,000,'
600 to New York in the panic OF
1907, while Missouri declined te
send a penny. Missouri wealth
has been going into saloons and
breweries to an alarming extent
Kansas wealth has been going in
to silos and banks, into SAT. ga
homes, into educational institu
tions and into town improve
ment.

Explains How to Prevent
Pneumonia.

The person who makes hot
house out of himself is the one
who is apt to take pneumonia,
which is so prevalent at this time
of the year, says the preventive
medicine department of the Uni
versity of Missouri. Living in
artlfcia'ly heated rooms till all
the resistance of the body is low
cred is the poorest way to resist
such a disease. Instead, one
should sleep in the open or in a
room with the windows open and
having 70 artificial heat. In ad-
dition, one should take a cold
bath every morning followed by
a good hard rub.
Pneumonia, which is no re-
spector of persons, is an inflama
ton of the lungs. 1t is caused
by germ that is found in the
saliva of many healthy persons
at this time of the year, especial
ly if they live in cities. These
persons will take the disease any
time that for nv reason the vi
tality of the body is materially
lessened. Such a weakening of
the resisting power of the body
is caused often by the use Of al:
coholic liquors or by sny other
abuse of the body. Overwork,
mental worry, prolonged expos
ure to cold or impure air, expos
ure to noxious dust and gases
are other causes. The disease
is contagious. It often occurs
in prisons or other crowded
places as an epidemic.
Prevention of pneumonia must
come from the banishmentof the
causes of lowered resistance.
Common sense must be used in
caring for the body. Take as
much exercise in the open air as
possible. There is no danger
from exposure to cold as long as
it is not for any great length OF
time.
The symptoms of pneumonis
are sharp pains in the chest fol

played here in many years was that
on Friday afternoon between the Cul-
leoka Public School and the Moores-
vile Training School baseball teams.
The latter won in hair raising fin
ish in the tenth inning, the final score
being four to three. Beasley's home
run in the tenth decided the contest
after ten innings Of the most Cruel
ling play,
In the initial inning each team
scored a couple of runs, in the second
and third neither was able to get a
man past first, but in the fourth
Mooresville took the lead, scoring
one run. This the locals held until
the ninth, neither side being able to
make the circuit until that inning, In
the ninth the first batter up was hit
by the pitcher. In attempting to sac
riice him to second Finney forced
him out, but was himself safe a.
hrst. On the next two balls he stole
second and third bases and scored on
Moore's infeld fly. This tied the
score and the locals were unable to
cross the plate in their half. In the
tenth the visitors were retired in enc,
two, three order. With one man
down Beasley knocked a home run
that ended the contest.
The features of the game were the
pitching of Beasley for Mooresville
and of McKibbon for Culleoka. The
former not only pitched winning ball,
but he led in batting average and f.
nally won his own game. 1t was orig
inally planned to pitch Fry, saving
Beasley for the game with Lynnville
today, but the former lasted through
one inning only and Beasley was sent
to the mound in the second. Mckib-
bon struck out twelve.
