A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James r. Hanna OF Des
Moines, Ia. gives his personal testi-
mony to the advantages of prohibition
as follows:
THE saloons were closed on the
18th OF February. All the desirable
locations were picked up by other
businesses within the next few weeks
following. A few outofthe-way loca-
tions are still vacant.
Il cannot see that there Is any ap-
preciable effect because of throwing
men out of employment and certainly
no increase in demands for charity. In
fact. it is exactly the other way. The
men who lost employment have gone
into other lines. Some Of them have
followed up their former calling in
other cities, but the men who were
spending in the saloons the money
which their families needed are now
buying groceries and shoes instead.
The consequence is a very much bet
ter tone in every way. In the hrst
place their families are not now in
want and in the second place. they
are paying their bills for the ordinary
necessities. This is making collec'
tions noticeably better in other lines
so our merchants report.
Our experience proves that de-
cisive policy can handle the bootleg
ging very efYectually. There will be
some illicit sales, to be sure. but they
can be reduced to a very small mini
num-"

in the day. The plan worked with fair
success and the police had no trouble
in handling the few hundred men,
women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
As soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations. the newly-weds sped
away in a big White House automobile
to the Union station and took train
to the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination

til the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January I. though. because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson

reception to be given in the White
House for the Pan-American repre-
sentatiyes at the national capital.
Moreover, congress will have recon-
yened, after the holiday season. and
Mr. Wilson will have to be back at
his desk.

mony were: Miss Margaret Wilson.

THE PROOF.

THE PROOF.
A gentleman was riding on the
street car the other day, when he saw
on the advertising spaces. printed in
large, clear letters. these words:
Pure Rye Whisky-Toncs Up the
Body, Brightens the Intellect. Invig-
crates the Soul After reading 1t his
eyes dropped involuntarily to the seat
beneath the advertisement, and there
was drunken man. His eyes were
bleared, his face bloated. with red
lines of dissipation in 1t, and his body
slouched down in a sort of collapsed
way common to men under the influ-
ence of liquor. The drunken man was
an illustration of the advertisement,
and proved the falsehood OF it. Wine
is a mocker.'

The saloonkeepers of Washington

said, because few of the veterans at

spent their money for drinks. or tho

seen under the influence One OF
the old soldiers explained 1t thus:
The fellows who could drink 1t or
let it alone are not here--nearly all
OF them are in their graves" 1t is
worthy of note that every one of the

PENNSCROVE Will
FIGHT FOR Wells
Citizens Contend State Health
Boards Condemnation
Order is Unjust
LIVELY BATTLE
is ASSURED

PENNSGROVE. N. j., Nov. 11.-A
lively war is expected here as a re-
suit of the announcement made by
the State Board of Health of It's inten-
ton to compel a more rigid enforce
ment of new sanitary code adopted
since the powder boom more than
doubled the towns population.
Citizens have organized TO oppose
the efforts of the State health authori-
ties to abolish wells. which are the
chief point of contention in the sani-
tary crusade. DIR. Il. c. Knight, for
merly OF Philadelphia, who was en-
gagged in September as a sanitary ex-
pert by the DUPONT Powder Company,
has examined more than 300 wells
here from which families secure their
supply of drinking water. A large
percentage Of these wells have been
condemned.
Property owners have had separate
tests made by outside chemists, who
have reported that there is nothing
harmful in the water. A new board
of health organized a few weeks ago
after DR.. c. J.. Fleming. s. Rushing
Leap and Henry Strimple. old mem
bers of the board. resigned under the
| fire of protests from citizens over
the new sanitary code, has declined
TO bring proceedings against the own
ers of the wells.
The new members Of the board are
DR.. +. Davidson, William p. Denny
and William A. Summerill.
In respect to the State Board of
/ Health's charge that the local Board
of Health has obtained $500 i'm fines
Il for violations of the health cOde with
out making any appropriation to rem
edy conditions, members of the board
say that the bulk of the fines were
collected at hearings held before a
Salem Justice of the Peace.
Citizens have shown much resent
ment over the action of the outside
health authorities in having cases
against residents here tried in outside
courts. To prevent such further ac-
tion and to protect property owners
! from what they declare are unjust
condemnation proceedings. citizens
i committee has been organized, with
h. S. Harris as chairman The men,
bers of the committee have started to
collect funds to be used in care of a
litigation with the State Board of
Health.
With the exception of the wells,
/ the sanitary code is being enforced
according to members of the local
Board of Health. w. A. SummeriH
one of the new members. declares
that it is the intention of the board
to see that the health rules are oh
served TO protect the towns congestes
population from any outbreaks of dis
ease.
