sand to Queneh Her Thirst,
Figures Show.

DIES MONIES, Sept. 9. Sixteen
thousand dollars worth OF liquor OF
various kinds was shipped into Des
Moines in the month OF August by
freight and express.
The estimate is made by u L.
Crawford, who has been compiling
complete statistics at police / head
quarters Of those who are having
liquor shipped to them and how much.
Mr. Crawford's information is taken
from the records of the express COM
panies and he is keeping an elaborate
card index record OF liquor shipments.
Mr.. Crawford finished making his
totals for the month Of August on
Tuesday afternoon. 1t shows that q
surprisingly large amount of liquor is
coming into the city, though Of course
it is only a fraction of the amount
consumed monthly in the days OF the
saloons. More than 1000 persons
have had liquor shipped to them in
the past month. Here are Mr. Craw-
ford's totals:
Beer-S93 cases. 621 barrels, kegs.
Whisky, 1872 gallons, 1867 quarts,
1879 pints, Z barrels, Q kegs, drums.
Wine-3 kegs, 3 barrels, 1s5 quarts.
Gin-74 quarts.
Alcohol barrels, gallons. !

Rum-44 quarts.
Brandy-12 quarts.

sees NationaI Menace.

ROCHESTER, N, Y, Sept. 9.-vari-
GUS alarms were, sounded today by
speakers before the annual session of
the American Public Health assocta-
ton, attended by public health ON
GERS and medical men from all parts
of the United States. Probably the
most startling statistics presented
were those offered by 3. p. Ritten-
house of New York. on INCREASING
Organic Disease" which he declared
.is the new public health problem.
THE increasing waste OF American
vitality and life from the degenerative
diseases among wage-earners and
other classes is rapidly reaching the
magnitude OF a national menace" said
Dr.. Rittenhouse. Surely the doub-
ling of the mortality rate from this
cause should be matter Of serious
public concern.
I'm three decades the death rate
from the breaking down or wearing
out Of the heart, arteries and kidneys
has increased 100 percent. In the
period from. 1900 to 1910 the increase
has. been as high as 80 percent In
some states and no less than II per-
cent in every state. In the preceding
ten years the increase was 81 per-
cent among the more than four mil
lion men In mechanical industries and
in the laboring, servant and agricul
tura1 classes combined"
The condition described, said DIR.
Rittenhouse. is local to America. not
being found in European countries.
There are constantly approximate
~ $4,000, 900 Americans in the de-
velopment period said the speaker.
This period ranges from a few weeks
to several years In which the disease
may be checked or cured. Most of
these people are drifting into disease
unknowingly. They are uniformed,
unwarned II the state can afford to
fight germ diseases. why not degene-
rative disease? II 1t can teach COM
munity hygiene to check one, why
not individual hygiene to check the

the actual total of those assisted Will

ELECTRIC CURRENTS.

Probably the most accurate method
for the determination of the value OF
the strength OF an electrical current
in absolute measure is by means of
the Rayleigh current balance, in
which the current to be measured is
passed in series through two parallel
circular coils Of unequal radfi, one Of
which is suspended from the beam of
a balance. The distance between the
planes OF the coils Is varied until the
force OF attraction between the two
coils Is a maximum, and the value OF
the force is obtained by adding
weights to the other arm OF the bal
ance until its equilibrium is restored.
Since the maximum force obtafnable
depends on the ratio of the radii Of
the coils alone, and not on their in
dividual dimensions, 1t is only .neces-
sary to determine further the ratio of
the radii of the coils, and this may
be done with great accuracy by cleo
trical means
that is, the maximum force per unit
current for the coils in question, has
been obtained in the past by interpo-
lation between values OF the force,
calculated for various assumed dis

hood of the critical value for which
the force is a maximum. For, although
the general formulas of Maxwell and
Nagaoka give the value of the force
for any two given coils. at any as
sumed distance with great accuracy,
no formula has been heretofore pub
lished for calculating at what dis
lance the force becomes maximum
To supply this lack there is derived

reau Of standards. department of COM
merce. entitled The Calculation OF

formula which gives the critical
distance as function of the ratio of
the -radii. The latter part Of the
paper is devoted to the development
of methods for facilitating the calcu-
lations. The formulas are illustrated
by numerical examples and tables,
and the new formulas are shown to
give results in agreement with those
derived by more indirect and labori-
GUS method OF Interpolation.

Kennedy and kopp,

Donnellson Review: The Des Moinss
Register and Leader is Quitting into
first district politics and predicting
that "Kopp may beat Kennedy" The
democratic papers of this district are
assisting the Des Moines paper in
spreading the GLAD tidings Of great
joy" over the district Just why our
democratic friends would prefer to see
Kopp nominated instead of Kennedy
we can't figure out on any other basis
than that he would be an easier man
for them to beat in the election.
They say that Kennedy works the
garden seed and public document
game. Sure he does, and his consti-
never yet had congressman from the

I They claim that Kopp has always
been loyal TO the party and worked
for the ticket. He also worked for a
government salary as postmaster at
ut. Pleasant. and history records the
astonishing fact that postmasters. as
a rule are loyal to the party in power.
Another thing favorable to Kopp.
according to the Register and Leader,
is that for twenty-eight years of re.
publican rule the two river counties
have had the congressman They
might have gone further and said that
the last two democratic congressman
from this district, 3. j. Hall and J. j.
Seerley, were also from the river coun-
ty- OF Des Moines. The location won't
have any weight in the matter. We
have to divide these honors up over
