the outset wish to say that the evening

went over to the Empress, and, between
the two I am frank to say that Sundays
meeting has the Empress skinned city
block. Mr.. Sunday said at his meeting that
he has brought many souls to Christ, but
10 per cent of them are backsliders; and
the clown at the Empress said he
could cut thirty-flve acres Of alfalfa with
a safety razor. Both OF these men are
entirely wrong. especially Mr.. Sunday in

OMAHA. Sept. 2O--To the Editor OF The
Bee: I saw a man sick unto death, and
bending over him was a young surpeon
making heroic efforts to revive him.
Along comes a pompous individual and
says
Here, you had better let that man
alone; the Bible says It Is given unto
man once to die and after that the judg-
ment."
The doctor looks up and says: We'll,
am an assistant surgeon, sent here by
the Great Surgeon TO revive this poor
man, and l intend to do so II possible.
and please remember the same book says.
while there is life there Is hope II you
don't believe in REVEALS, please stand
from under while am doing my duty"
As the knocker passed on the surgeon
asked, who is that man?' why" said
a bystander. that's the fellow who al
ways interferes in work OF this kind.
He spells God with little g and church
with a big c. We all know him and pay
no attention to what he says You are
right, Billy Sunday, go ahead with
your good work. OBSERVER.

Rain and the Corn Crop.


BENNINGTON, Neb, Sept 2O.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Since reading the
article OF Ted Holyoke. in which he says,
Most corn safe from frost" cannot
pass this up without few comments.
l don't give rap IL the article was
written by the son-in-law of George w.
Holdrege of the Burlington. These rail-
road managers take every opportunity
to boost for the bumper corn crop. which
Ia not in existence at the present time.
Just as they did about the billion bushel
wheat crop that rainy weather-but, 10
and behold! The rain almost ruined that
bumper wheat crop-ln fact, there will
be very little wheat that will make good
flour
And that will be the case with the
corn should frost strike II at this time,
for not more than % per cent would be
good enough to grade No. L. Mr. HOl-
yoke says he cannot see why so much
fuss IL being made about the corn from
the frost. And then he suggests the silo
as being the salvation of the frosted
corn, and that every bit would be utilized
without danger OF loss whatever.
Let us discuss this question of loss
worry and silos from tho farmers stand
point. In the first place, let us take into
consideration the fact that according to
statistics renters predominant in this
state. This being q fact. who will build
silos for this great number of renters?
l think the man who pays from IS to
~ rent per acre has just cause TO worry
about frost when his corn is in roasting
ear state. How can this great army Of
renters pay their notes and meet their
obligations should such a misfortune as
frost overtake them? II is one thing for
railroad men 10 cit in their paiatial cars
going at the rate of forty miles an hour
and tell the farmer that 80 per cent OF
his corn is safe, but II Is another thing
TO make him believe II.
The writer has a field that was planted
April p, Just 40 days at the date this
article il written, and only IS per cent
OF the ears well enough dented 30 that
they would not be injured by a killing
frost-the other 70 per cent would be soft
and unfit for the market. There were
no early frosts during the fall OF 1895.
but rainy growing weather which kept
the stalks and ears sappy. and the re-
suit was soft corn which spoiled when
put in the crib.
Last week a railroad manager re.
ported from 100 to 10 per cent for the
different divisions. which is impossible.
l have met men from different parts OF
the state, and their reports differ very
much-some even report that their corn
that was replanted and growth retarded
by cold. rainy weather, was only in the
roasting-ear stage then. In the name OF
common sense, how can We have condi-
tions averaging 1O5 per cent? Nothing but
two or three weeks OF warm, dry
weather can save the corn crop and that
Is not likoly under present conditions.

OMAHA. sept G.--To the Editor of The
Bee: Tho swimming season for 1918 over
ana not one person drowned at Carter
lake since competent lifeguards were en-
ployed. This speaks well for our efficient
lifeguards

paper that the city hire a lifeguard who
could pass a strict examination and prove
his efficiency for the job of lifeguard. |

gestion and hired William westund, a

Swimming Is one OF the most useful OF
athletic sports and also the best exer-
else known. The large eastern cities are
installing natatoriums in all new school
buildings and hope Omaha will follow
this good example and not be the last
to see the good derived from teaching
everyone to swim.
The weather was very unfavorable for
swimming this season, but the municipal
beach and the swimming tanks In the
parks have proved TO be the most popular
places in the city. This shows what the
people want In the parks and now that
we have a good start In the right direc-
ton 1 hope he city commissioners will
keep the ball a-rolling and give us more
natstoriums next year
The city Auditorium basement is not in
use. Mr.. Commissioners. you have made
the right start, and why not turn this
basement into a valuable asset by build
ing large sized natatorium. so we may
swim all winter we'll as In summer?
Money spent along this line would be for
more than value received. G.. p

INSANITY THE CAUSE NOT
 THE EFFECT OF INEBRIETN

Dr. J. W, Astley Cooper, for many years medical superintendent of a large English asylum for in ebriates, writes to the London Lam cet letter defending the use of all cohol as a valuable tonic.
 While" he says, "there is, of course, no shadow of doubt that alcohol in tonic doses, or what a. mounts to the same thing, ins con- tinuously taken moderate doses, acts harmfully on the animal organ ism, I have been unable to appreci- ate any harmful effects from 2 strictly moderate use of alcohol by persons of sound mental and phy- sical health, such as our soldiers supposedly are.
 "Dr. Mercier's statement that asy- lum observations show that insanity produces inebriety, rather than that inebriety produces insanity, is un- doubtedly correct one. Moderate use of alcohol has never to my knowledge been proved to be 2 cause of insanity, but insanity in some degree may, l think, he said to be always present in true inebriety. What matters is not that alcohol should be tabooed, but that it should be recognized by both the public and the medical profession as what it is-namelv a drug of the most powerful stimulant narcotic drugs in the Pharmacopoeia.
 "Df Lyon Smith has apparently satisfied himself that medical doses of f-2 to ? ounces of whiskey or other alcoholic liquor of like strength have beneficial rather than harmful effect on phagocy- tosis, so that it would be well, un- less those scientific temperance lecturers can prove the contrary. that they should cease to use this argument against the use of alcohol except in so far as it applies to large doses.' ,
 Dr. Astley Cooper insists that doctors teach the public that 'al- cohol is a drug, not necessary or beneficial to the healthy individual, valuable in strictly moderate doses on occasion, and extremely harmful in large or in frequently repeated small doses"

POSSIBLE SOURCE OF POTASH

Following Secretary Lanes in structions to put special effort into it's potash investigations, the United States Geological Survey is publish ing the suggestion that possible source of potash may exist in the tailings piled up at the concentrat- ing mills of the big copper mines in the West. The "porphyry' ores which are being mined by the mil lions of tons annually contain sev- eral times as much potash as cop .per and this remains in the tailings at the mills, material already finely eund and in condition for treat ment, as we'll as easily accessible for shipment. This potash, however, is locked up in the form of silicate minerals, and the commercial ex- traction of potash from silicates has been for several years the subject of earnest study by industrial chem ists. If this problem can be solv- ed, it would appear that a large tonnage of potash-bearing material is available in the Western States.
 The brief report issued this week by the Geological Survey, Bulletin 620-J, contains typical analyses of these 'phorphyry" ores from the largest copper camps in half doz- en States, as well as tonnage esti- mates of the ore reserves already mined and treated. A few check analyses of tailings are also pub lished.
 Suggestion of a possible potash reserve in these tailings originated with B. s. Butler, the geologist in charge of the Surveys statisticat stuav of copper, who has based this short paper upon the published an alyses of specimens collected by the Government geologists in their inv igations of the mining dis tri,sa.
 The significant fact regarding this possible source of potash is that in quantity it is more than ade- ouate to meet all the needs of the country as measured by present con sumption of potash. The problem
