FROM A BUSINESS srANppolNT.
CBy REV. JOSEPH HENRY cRooKERJ

tBy REV. JOSEPH HENRY CRooKER.)
Let us see how the liquor trade
works out as business proposition in
a small village of 1000 people count
ing the tributary country folk), with
four saloons. AS the average per cap.
ita expenditure for drink in the United
states Is over twenty dollars year.
on that basis this village would spend
$4,000 annually for liquor. But, to be
conservative. we VIII cut this In two
and make 1t 100000. That sum, very
large for 80 small a community, we
may set down as the charge against
the saloons. The business gains from
them are practically as follows: For
licenses, $1,000 $3.50 being the aver
age village feel; for rent (the keepers
living above their bar.rooms), s2,50O;
for household expenses OF four fami.
lies, $4,000 "a very high estimate);
making $500 the amount of money
which the business spends In the town
"a very liberal calculation. That is,
for every four dollars paid over the
bar, only one comes back to the finan.
cial interests OF the community. An
outgo OF four dollars and income of
one dollar Surely, not much profit In
that,
or to put the matter in another way:
For every four dollars that goes into
any one OF those saloons, three dollars
never comes out again to do business in
that town; the grocer on one side loses
dollars trade, the market on the 9th.
er side loses dollar's trade, and the
merchant across the street also loses
dollars trade for every hour through.

OPPOSITION TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

This from Pennsylvania hotel
keeper, who for four years was secre-
tary Of the Philadelphia Liquor Deal
ers' association and should know
whereof he speaks:
Liquor men who say that all this
agitation is being created by temper.
ance cranks are not awake. The oppo.
sition comes from many men who have
liquors In their cellars; It comes from
the big corporations who are making
this fight on economic grounds; 1t
comes from big merchants--they them
selves may drink and many of them
do, but they don't want their EN-.
ployees to drink"

that way, why not let Brand In on it?
He could take his chances. He would
understand that: but II he won he
might return the favor.
Well. Brand had won. He had won
$15O,000. and so we find him at least
not groveling.
His quick response to knock at the
door brought his secretary.
"A gentleman to see you." said that
menial. "A Mr.. Meade"

Water Required for Crops.

II takes water to produce a crop OF
weeds. IL that be true. and It is. the
water which the weeds get is that
much taken away from the crop. A
garden crop between the rows in a
young orchard is all right. provided
there be plenty OF water for both the
garden and the orchard. An orchard
under dry conditions needs all OF the
available water. Conserve az much
OF It as possible by maintaining con
slant dust mulch between the rows.

NouRlsHMENr IN BEER.

II is now possible to demonstrate
with mathematical certainty that. so
far as enriching the blood is con-
cerned, the flour that will lie ON the
point OF knife affords more nourish-
ment than four measures of the best
Bavarian beer; and that anybody who
drinks a measure OF beer daily would
thus imbibe in one year about as
much nourishment as is contained in
a pound OF bread-Baron Justus Won

Bronze grass is probably the best OF

areas. When established it will fur

so early as winter rye. but earlier than
