DRINKING DISCOURAGED.
The men who drink alcoholic
liquors, even II they are not known to
become drunk, are not advanced to re-
sponsible positions. "A. M. Byers
Company, Pittsburgh, Pa.
I'm our work we cannot use man
who drinks liquor. Men who use 1t at
all are not in a condition to work any
where in 1t with the man who lets 1t
alone. We hope the traffic in liquors
will soon be voted out of existence
McInnes Steel Company, Ltd. Cory,
Pa.
THE efficiency of man Is reduced
in exact proportion to the amount of
alcohol he drinks. The total abstain
err ranks above the moderate drinker
in reliability and efficiency in all
classes of work nearly as much as
the moderate drinker does above the
heavy regular drinker. "-Follansbe
Furnace Company, Follansbee, w. Va.
I'VE give bonuses to abstainers
among our foremen. Our aim is to
keep our organization free from
liquor and we base this upon its COM
mercial value to u.s." = Delaware
River Steel Company, Chester, Pa.
Moderate drinking is detrimental
to efficiency and reliability."--Penn

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.
Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
ton was asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had investigated the
report of W. J. " Deacon, state regis
trar of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.8
per 1000. The answer of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel l.. Rogers, direc-
tors of the United States bureau of
census, gave this reason among 9TH
ers:
Kansas is prohibition state and
has been for generation, and in Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. / do
not mean by this there is no alcohol
consumed In the state, but the abb
sence Of the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who, in the absence of any bar room,
find more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition is that the
wage Of the laborer or mechanic is not
dissipated, but goes to supply those
necessities of food, clothing and nous
ing most essential to the wellbeing Of
their families and themselves"

State College. y. NJ. Aug. I0-New
Mexico boys who plan to attend college
during the coming year. and who are
wondering just how they will get
through school on limited money al
lowance, Will be interested to know
that the New Mexico College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts. through the
assistance of the United States govern
ment. will be in a position TO offer a
decidedly attractive proposition in the
way of financial help.
The bill which recently passed con-
gress signed by the president. reOr-
ganizing the army of the United States.
directs the war department to provide
uniforms and equipment TO the students
in agriculture and mechanic arts col
leges. who viii take military drill three
times a week. This will mean a saving
in clothing alone of about $50 a year
TO the boys attending the New Mexico
Agricultural college. thus reducing
greatly an already very low educational
cost for the year While the war de-
partment is Overburdened with work
just at present, il is believed the legis-
lation viii be in actual operation be
fore Christmas
Cadets Entitled TO Salaries.
Another important provision of the
bill is that boys who will drill five
times a week during their junior and
senior years OF the college course. will
receive a salary of s. a month. in adj
dition TO their uniforms Upon gradua-
ton. such boys may, upon application.
be assigned by the president of the

4 month.
The provisions Of the bill make
very bright prospect for the boys at

college. especially inviting to those
who might otherwise have difficulty in
raising money for their clothing and
incidental expenses.
