abstain from alcohol and refuse to

Thirty men were discharged by the
American Car & Foundry company
because they signed liquor license ap-
plications.
These companies do not desire to
influence tho opinions OF the employ.
ees In regard to prohibition, but they
take the stand that tho man who signs
a liquor license application does not
properly appreciate the danger Of la.

He Is, therefore, not a safe employee

Indulgence in the use of liquor Is
a menace to all business interests"

KANSAS TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880. under license, the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was SIS
mills IN the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only 80 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to 5 mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 81. In
1882 the figures stood; Kansas, 4,5;
Nebraska. 81. In 1883 the rate was,
Kansas, 4,3; Nebraska, rs. In 1886 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.S mills.
And yet" says the Portland (Me.)
Evening Express, "the booze represent
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 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. Or. f. II. Cleve-
land OF Flower hospital. New York
city, writing OF these to the New York
Times, says
1T seems that to one group Of stu.
dents a good dinner was given with.
out alcoholic accompaniment, and in
their case, q couple OF hours later,
normal digestion was found we'll ad-
vanced. To the other group OF stu
dents the same dinner was given, pre-
coded in each case by an appetizer
such as cocktail, gin fZz. etc. After
the same interval the digestive proc
esses OF this second group we're 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, so 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 1t Is taken"
