the cities Of Piafea and DeIiun were
besieged
Wood saturated with pitch and sui.

J. T. Castleman OF Dyer. Tenn,
suffered from stomach arrangements
for forty years, taking all sorts OF
medicine, following all kinds Of med
ical advice.
In all the forty years, he said, he
never had a real good day-until he

he discovered something. Let his let

ried with pride. But the argument
was a sorry one and In itself would
have broken down the prosecution had
he been a man of better repute. Now,

to see this stick. which still exists at

The pathos of 1.-THE heart-rending

Who Go to Church?

The facts about church member
shin are contained in United States
census bulletin No. 1903. and the per
of church membership in the
total population is given for the year
1906. 26 years after Kansas has be-
come a prohibition state. According
to this tabulation, which is the latest
o~btainable, the lowest percentage OF
church membership was in Oklahoma
including Indian Territory. the rate
being 1872. The rate In New York was
43.7; In Pennsylvania, 43; in Illinois
$50; in Nebraska, 1924; In Maine, 29.s;
and in Kansas, 2S.4. Forty-thrae
states had a larger percentage OF
membership than had Kansas.
Since this tabulation was mad up

A Cardiff correspondent Of an Eng
lish newspaper says:
"Cymric ardor on the battlefield Is
going to be inspired and sustained by
Cymric music. Not the least impress
sive sight today, and during the past
week, among the Welsh units training
at Porthcawl has been the gathering
of the soldiers for choral singing.
When the new Welsh army of 10000
men take the field 1t will go to battle
to the sound of a Cymric war chorus,
which experts have described as the
finest martial music in the world.
The organization just formed is
known as the Welsh Army Male Voice
chorus, and as the recruits include
some Of the finest singers in the
Welsh valleys, men who have com
peted In scores of Eisteddfods, the sol
diers' practice sings at Porthcawl par
take Of the character of first-class
concerts, which attract to the vicinity
of the hall large numbers Of residents
of the town and visitors.
Miss Gee of Denbigh, an ardent
patriot, Is distributing a fine selection
Of Welsh war songs, with a request
for the rendering of these and less
singing of 'T~ipperary.'"

CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.

The Milton Manufacturing company,
the American Car & Foundry ON
pany, and s. 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
dictate 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 nan who signs
a liquor license application does not
properly appreciate the danger of liq-
uor to himself and the community.
He Is, therefore, not a safe employee
for a concern demanding efficiency.
Indulgence in the use of liquor is
a 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 th'

KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880, under license, the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was 30
mills on the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only 39 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to 8 mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 61. In
1882 the figures stood: Kansas, 40;
Nebraska, 81. In 1888 the rate was,
Kansas, 4.3; Nebraska. rs. In 1885 the
Kansas rate had further dropped to
80, but Nebraska, with saloons to pay
part OF her revenue, had been COM
PEELED to raise her rate to ~.
In 1914 Kansas had reached the re-
markably low figure of IL mills, while
Nebraska, whose people failed TO fol-
low Kansas example in o~utlawing
| saloons, was suffering under a rate OF
rs mills.
And yet" says the Portland tMe')
Evening Express, the booze represen'

the effrontery to warn the people
against outlawing the saloons because
You will have to pay more taxes!

DRINKING BEFORE A

At a meeting Of a medical society a
prominent physician read a paper on
"Appetizers,' in which he gave the
results Of scientific experiments made
at Yale university. DR.. E. H.. Cleve-
land of Flower hospital, New York
city, writing of these to the New York
Times, says:
at seems that to one group OF stu
dents a good dinner was given with
out alcoholic accompaniment. and in
their case, a couple of hours later,
normal digestion was found well ad-
vanced. To the other group Of stu
dents the same dinner was given. pre-
coded in each Ease by an appetizer
such as cocktail. gin f1zz, etc. After
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 beer
carried further, so as to include the
efficiency of mental action and nerve
reaction. as we'll as efficiency Of di
gestive faculties, there is no doub
that precisely similar results woulC
have heen obtained.
THE appetizer, SO called, is not ii
reality an appetizer at all, but is
devitalizer, pure and simple, destruc
tive Of the normal processes of tn
digestive apparatus and OF the mer
tai powers in direct proportion to tn
frequency with which it is taken"
