CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.

The Milton Manufacturing company,
the American Car & Foundry COM
pany, and 8. J. Sinner & Sons of
Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued or
ders demanding that their employees
abstain from alcohol and refuse to
sign license petitions of otherwise in
dicate sympathy for the saloon.
Thirty men were discharged by the
American Car & Foundry company
because they signed liquor license ap-
plications.
These companies do not desire to
influence the opinions Of the employ
ees in regard to prohibition, but they
take the stand that the man who signs
a liquor license application does not
properly appreciate the danger of liq-
uor to himself and the community.
He is, therefore. not safe employee
for concern demanding efficiency.
Indulgence in the use of liquor is
q menace to all business interests" :"
declared Mr.. George s. Sinner, presi-
dent of the Milton Manufacturing
company. IF the employees should
be protected by the employer, why
shouldn't the employer be as well pro-
tected by the employee? Our employ
ees have congratulated US upon the

the belief of the physician that all will

victuals. so that her English were in
no danger of starving.
But English soldiers do not live by
food alone-they like their tobacco.
Now. according to the regulations OF
the invaders, each inhabitant of the
place had the right to buy two sous
worth of tobacco cay. She found
a way to evade this regulation and
to keep her ten in smokables. She or
ganized an army of boys, who ten or
twenty times day would purchase at
different shops the meager penny
worth.
But there was always the danger
that the hiding place of the ten might
be discovered by some German. For
tunately, their dormitory communf-
floor of the building, and precisely
with room on that ground floor
which gave on the garden. So she
procured long rope, with which she
advised her prisoners to practice a
sort of fire-drill
Just imagine" she said to her in
teryiewer. that my Englishmen after
few attempts were able, the whole
ten of them, to strap up their haver-
sacks. get ready for all eventualities,
and slide down the rope noiselessly
in less than five minutes"
But these desperate measures were
not necessary. The Germans tempo
rarily evacuated the place, and the ten
English soldiers were able to regain
the allied lines in safety. They have
all given her their names and ad-
dresses, and sworn that she must
come to England when the war IS
over, where they promise her royal
Welcome. One of the grateful ten is
a nobleman, and a relative OF King
George-Lord Smith is the name
given, but never mind! The girl left
the town only when the Germans
were about to re-enter it, and after the
town had been subjected to fierce
bombardment for r ny days.

HIDES 10 FROM FOE
French Girl Keeps Soldiers From
German Clutches.
BY Dint Of All Sorts Of Courageous
Ruses She Feeds and ConceaIs Eng
lishmen While Teutons
Occupy Place.

Paris.-The invaders would not
have been SO charitably disposed to a
French girl had they known that for
three weeks by dint of all sorts of
courageous ruses she had been feed
ing. concealing, and keeping from
their clutches ten English soldiers.
She was servant in girls board
ing school. When the war broke out
the pupils all returned to their homes,
and she was left alons, for her only
companion was an old deaf and par.
TALLY paralyzed woman. When the
Germans entered the town they went
through the girls school from attic
to basement, collecting all the linen
bedding they could lay their hands
on. For some reason or other they
did not install their wounded in the
main building, but in the chaptc. an
mex.
These wounded the girl tended with
the utmost devotion, in the first place..
because she is tender-hearted, and in
the second, because she had every rea-
son to desire to stand we'll with the
invaders. For her conscience was
quite clear. She knew that down in
the grotto at the end of the school
gardens she hai concealed ten Tom
miles," who had come. hungry, foot
sore and worn out just one hour be-
fore the Germans.
They will be here in a moment"
the English officer had said, not wish
ing to put the girl in danger.
Never mind" she said, I'll hide
you somewhere, and afterwards we
shall see." So she took them to the
grotto. But the quarters were mar
row, damp and intensely uncomfort-
able. Her heart bled for her pro-
teges. Then she had an idea, the
very daring Of which was to insure its
success. She installed her ten Tom
mics" in the unoccupied top floor of
the school itself. Then came the
question of the commissariat At first
she gave up her own ration to her
ten refugees-but that was not
enough among SO many. So she COL
lected from her friends and relatives
in the village here a piece of bread
and there vegetable.
When the Germans, seeing her sus.
piciously laden basket, asked her for
whom were all these provisions. she
would answer. For your wounded in
the chapel" Better still, she ap-
pointed herself cook for the German
ambulance, and in this capacity was

Weather and Crop Bulletin.

Denver-Director Brandenburg, in
the weekly weather and crop report,
says that the past week weather con-
ditions were generally favorable for
crop growth, but unfavorable for
farming operations over the greater
part of the state. There was more
than the seasonal amount of heat,
and, except in the north-central and
northeastern counties, the rainfall was
considerably above the average. The
sunshine was generally deficient.
There was some progress made in
blowing and planting in the north
eastern counties; in the other Sec
tions of the state but little progress
was made in the preparation of the
soil for seed. Small grains and
grasses made satisfactory growth.
The prospects for fruit continue good.
In the southeastern part of the state
plums are beginning to bloom, while
in localities in the western part of the
state peaches are beginning to bloom,
pears are partly in bloom and apples
are opening.

KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

NfAbNSAS I'M HN S6S"SNS|Ss
In 1880, under license, the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was 5.5
mills on the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only 3.9 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 81. In
1882 the figures stood: Kansas, As;
Nebraska, 81. In 1883 the rate was,
Kansas, 4.3; Nebraska, 7.s. In 1885 the
Kansas rate had further dropped to
SO, but Nebraska, with saloons to pay
part of her revenue, had been com.
PEELED to raise her rate to II.
In 1914 Kansas had reached the re-
markably low figure of IL mills, while
Nebraska, whose people failed to fol-
low Kansas example in outlawing
saloons, was suffering under a rate Of
7.8 mills.
"And yet" says the Portland (Me.)
Evening Express, "the booze represen-
tatives in local option contests have
the effrontery to warn the people
against outlawing the saloons because
You will have to pay more taxes!'"

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.
At meeting of medical society
prominent physician read a paper on
"Appetizers." in which he gave the
results of scientific experiments made
at Yale university. DIR. e. H. Cleve-
land Of Flower hospital. New York
city, writing Of these to the New York
Times, says:
"It seems that to one group of stu
dents good dinner was given with
out alcoholic accompaniment, and in
their case, couple of hours later.
normal digestion was found well ad-
vanced. To the other group of stu
dents the same dinner was given, pre-
ceded in each case by an appetizer
such as cocktail, gin fizz, etc. Afte.
the same interval the digestive proc
esses of this second group were found
on examination to be imperfect. Ger
tain chemical elements in the food
taken showed that the digestive juices
had failed to act upon them, owing to
the presence of alcohol in combination
with these elements.
Serious and permanent interference
with normal digestion was clearly
proved by these experiments in every
instance. Had the investigations been
carried further, 80 as to include the
efficiency of mental action and nerve
reaction, as well as efficiency of d.
gestive faculties, there is no doubt
that precisely similar results would
have been obtained.
"The appetizer, so called, is not in
reality an appetizer at all, but is a
devitalizer, pure and simple, destruc-
tive of the normal processes of the
digestive apparatus and Of the men,
tai powers in direct proportion to the
frequency with which it is taken"

definite hold on their jobs, are af-

hopes through a statement made by
Mrs. Alice Adams Fulton, secretary of

With the exception Of a remarkably
few positions, according to the COM
missions secretary, there is nothing
in the present civil service law to pre-
vent-a wholesale removal of incum-
oents and their replacing by new ap-
)ointees. This is due, it was stated,
to the fact that there are no eligible
lists established in strict conformity
to civil service except for clerical and
