BOYS AND BREWERIES.

A man was trying to convince an other that because of the vested inter- ests involved the people had no right to close the breweries. His friend answered thus: Il have three boys. By the time l graduate them from col lege they will have cost me about ten thousand dollars apiece. Every in terest of the brewery and everything that the brewery stands for is diamet rically opposed to and threatens the investment that l have made in my boys. No doubt the brewer has more than thirty thousand invested in his plant, but am going to safeguard my own interests first. l shall vote dry within ten minutes after the polls open if I can get my ballot by that time"

CARRAWAY MAY ENTER GUBER-
 NATORIAL RACE

It is considered practically certain that Congressman T. II. Carraway of the First District will soon enter the race for governor, making total of six contenders. And if he does, it is also certain that he expects later to become a formidable candidate for senatorial toga. It is admitted that his seat in Congress is secure as long as he wants to hold it, at $7,500 a year, but siX-year tenure as U. s. Senator is much more desirable in every way. Hence it does not require a political sage to predict that he will not give up certainty at '$7,500 a year for uncertainty in scramble for a 5000 office, unless he has a plan for further advancement. In this connection it is interesting to note that Governors, Davis, Robinson, Clarke, Garland and Clayton have been advanced from Governor to Unit ed States Senator, and the proportion looks good

WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS.

Life is getting to be too compli- cated for the use of narcotics said Dr. s. P. Kramer, the noted surgeon, in recent address at the Ricketts Research Laboratory, Cincinnati. The time was when the farmer could drive to town and get tanked up and his friends would put him in the buggy and the sober horse would carry him home. But you can not do that now with automobiles We know that most of the automobile accidents are after dinners where alcohol has been served, and that not always in ex- cess"
 After describing the effects of alco- hol as similar to those of chloroform or ether, except for the fact that it works more slowly, he considered it's effect upon efficiency in various fields of endeavor, and showed charts prov ing the lowered working power of compositors, bookkeepers and soldiers after they have taken liquor.
 But friend said to me- remarked Dl llS Sdlne llIle of argument, Doctor, you must know that Mir. Blank, the jury lawyer, is more eloquent in his cups, and that the celebrated actor was more i'm pressive when drinking I asked this man if he would want his chauffeur, his locomotive engineer, his surgeon, to drink. He said he would not. Now the orator and the actor are in vocal pursuits. Alcohol makes them more passionate. But the judge on the bench knows that the lawyer is less capable of keen analysis when in his cups, and the trained dramatic critic will tell you that the drinking actor is not coming up to what he should. These men are like the court testers. The fact is that the higher centers are off the job. The governor is not acting and the engine runs wild. That is all,
 No one nowadays thinks drunken ness is we'll What the public needs is instruction about the destructive effect of moderate indulgence"

Advertising Scheme Stopped.

A novel advertising scheme has been tried in London, England. A we'll dressed young man was standing on the curb at the corner of Aldwych when suddenly letters, apparently of fire, made their appearance across the back of his overcoat, and as quickly vanished. Passersby rubbed their eyes and stared in astonishment as the H. lumination again came and went at ir. regular intervals. It was new de. velopment of modern advertising, the light being switched on from an cleo tric battery carried in the pocket. Tho inevitable crowd gathered, with the inevitable result-a policeman shoul. dered his way to the front, and the agent of an enterprising advertiser had to move on.

THE RATE OF ABSORPTION OF
 ALCOHOL,


 The nature of the tolerance acquired toward such substances as tobacco. opium and alcohol will not be clearly understood until the physiologic be- havior of the active compounds pre- sent in these typical habit-forming products is more precisely known. h. asmuch as alcohol is perhaps the most wildly used of all substances toward which considerable degree of tol- erance seems to be established. it's performances in the living organism deserve careful consideration The conditions under which it gains en- trance into the circulation, the concen- tration in which it travels through the body and appears in the circulat- ing funds, and the speed with which it is oxidized or excreted, as the case may be, deserve investigation. A chapter in this story written by Voltz and Dietrich of the Institute for Fer nation Industries at Berlin is com mented on in recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. They have found that the rate of absorption of alcohol is noticeably higher in animals that have been accustomed to alcohol than in those which have never received any. The differences between the two groups are not inconsiderable. At the end of an hour after the intake, they may be represented by such figures as 66 and S7 per cent, respectively. The speed of disappearance of alco- hol is also somewhat greater in the individuals accustomed to that sub stance. In this respect, however, the differences are by no means so conspi- cuous as in relation to the compara- tive rates of absorption.

He said; My notion is that the saloon will have to go. l believe that the time will come when the people will rise up and smash the saloon, at least as we have it now. The evi- dence in this case showed that the saloons were the center of nearly all the corruption in the election at Terre Haute."

p1ITTERMILK AND BACTERIA

The popularity of buttermilk as d food and a beverage is attested by its widespread sale. Any drink which
 can succeed in invading the precincts
 of the saloon and compete for sale, as
 buttermilk now does, side by side with
 alcoholic beverages deserves attention
 The plan of allowing milk to under
 oo fermentation of such character
 that the products are not unpleasant
 or unwholesome for human consump-
 ton. vet serve as preservativei to pre- |.
 vent undesirable types of decomposi-
 tion. is not new. The fermentation
 product chiefly depended on in such
 cases is tactic acid, although, in cer~
 tain types, alcoholic fermentation may
 also be in evidence. Buttermilk be-
 longs to the acid type; it usually con
 tains from 0.6 to 0.9 per cent, of acid.
 Strictly speaking, buttermilk is by
 product of butter-making; but with
 the development or the milk indus
 tries. the demand for buttermilk has frequently been met by fermenting
 the skim or separator milk which re- mains as a by-product of the cream
 trade. The fermented product is not literally buttermilk, but it may be |ndistinguishable from the latter in |composition and properties. The use |of these fermented milk products has been favored, not alone for their in- | |trinsic food value, but also for acces. |sory reasons. The specific fermeuta- |tion products have been reputed to |have 'tonic" action in the digestive tract. Special virtues have been at |tributed to the tactic acid bacteria, particularly in relation to putrefac- |tive changes in the alimentary tract. |Aside from any alleged therapeutic virtues, there can be no doubt of the |nuerient value of the beverages. Witt |the growing attention devoted to the bacteria which milk may harbor. and the recognition of the dangers which |they may entail, it is not strange that buttermitlk also should demand |pacteriologic consideration. Heine-
 mann, of the Department of Bacterio +osy and Hygiene at the University
 pr Chicago, has demonstrated that the
 presence of tactic acid in milk will
 pestroy the germs of dysentery, ty-

E MPTY JAILS.

The following testimony to the ad- vantages of prohibition appeared in one of the newspapers of Sussex coun- ty, Delaware;
 The county jail at Georgetown is without q prisoner, and Sheriff Jacob West is idle The turnkey is on his vacation. chickens are roasting in the cells and the jail yard will probably be planted in early corn unless another applicant appears The lone prisoner, Elwood Armstrong. who was afraid to stay by himself. was paroled for two years after having confessed to steal ing five dozen eggs"
 Further testimony as to the work ings of prohibition comes from kala- mazoo, Mich. The Gazette of that city on April contains a paragraph headed. Kalamazoo Without Crime for AS Hours-Crimeless Period of City's History Follows Knockout of John Barleycorn," and the item reads:
 Rooms for rent. Apply within This is the text of sign which will likely be tackled on the front door Of central police station in another week if the period of quiet continues. Not cell door in the station house has been opened during the last AS hours. The bull pen is as barren and quiet as an abandoned country church. There has not been a single drunk ar rested since Sunday afternoon. Crime in general appears to be at stand still"

No CRIME TO DOUBT REPORTS
Vienna Judge Acquits Man Who Cues toned Truth of Austrian
 Official News.

Vienna.-The courts are being over worked in trying persons who are ac- cused of violating the governments orders which forbid the dissemination of alarming news. Most of the arrests are the result of reports of police spies.
 The judges are very severe and con- vfctions are inevitable. Up to the present only one person, a hall porter, who was accused of having said that he did not believe the official reports about Austrian victories, has been ac- quilted. In this case the judge ruled that unbelief in official reports does not imply unpatriotic sentiments.
 The military authorities of Cracow are forbidding the entry of refugees from Galicia. This prohibition is a prelude to the evacuation of Cracow by noncombatants, in view of the ex pected approach of the Russians.

USE RUsE 600 YEARS OLD
British Employ With Success, Trick Used by Scots at Ban-
 nockburn.

London.-A correspondent of the London Chronicle in northern France states that the ruse employed by the Scotch to help bring about the defeat of the English at Bannockburn in 1914 has been repeated successfully by the British in the battle of f,the Yser. He says:
 About twenty-five yards in front ot our trenches deep pits were dug. These were covered with branches and loose turf, as at Bannockburn, and into these the Germans fell in heaps, calling out pitiably when, too late, they discovered the stratagem
 Although the Germans more than filled the pits, others came on in great numbers and the pits soon became a scene of appalling horror. The Ger mans struggled. cried and fought one another in their vain attempts to ex- tricate themselves, Many were acci dentally transfixed by the bayonets of those who had first fallen, while oth- CTS were shot by comrades. A shell fell into one pit and the huddled mass within was blown out of existence"

BRAVE STORM FOR LIQUOR
Thousands of Russians Stand in Snow to Lay in Stock Before sa-
 looms Close.

Petrograd. Thousands of men, women and children stood in driv- ing snowstorm before the doors of the liquor shops on the last day in which it was, possible to purchase light wine and beer under the prohibition act of the Russian government, which has now become absolute. Applicants for a final supply of. beverages came with baskets. sacks, carts and wheel barrows, many having pawned their last belongings to procure means to purchase.
 This final prohibition act is the last of three distinct liquor reforms. the first curtailing the sale of vodka and the second abolishing it absolutely The third measure extends the prohi- bition to every form of alcoholic drink in all portions of the empire under martial law. Cities included under the prohibition are Odessa, Warsaw, Mos COW, Kiev and virtually all cities of western Russia
