These Diseases Are PreventabIe

PRICES AND RESTRICTIONS HAVEN'T CURED DRINKING
 IN ENGLAND AT ALI

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 LONDON, June 2O - High prices and drastic restrictions have done lit- tie if anything to curb drinking in England. Some authorities say there has been an increase.
 There has been much controversy over the situation. Advocates of rigid regulation or of total prohibition maintained the new rules has made the country more sober. Their op- ponets denied it.
 The United Kingdom Alliance, a neutral organization devoted to the compilation of all sorts of social statistics which the country suppos- edly ought to know, has finally sub mitted definite figures. Before the war the "pub'-saIoons-were open nineteen and half hours daily, from 3 a. m. until 12:3O a. m. Today they are open five hours and a half daily.
 No intoxicants may be sold before

taken away from the parasites.'
 It is further argued that such a situation would imply an economic readjustment which must make for better conditions except for those who have lived in the past on production by the actual workers.
 The view is not held by socialists alone. A number of men who belong to the class which must do the fnan- cial suffering, should the forecast be borne out by events, think the same thing, or rather, are afraid the pre- diction is an accurate one.
 It looks, as they express it, as if "the aristocracy will have to go to work"
 H. c. Selfridge, the American de- partment store proprietor, for several years now in business in London, for example, in effect expressed this opinion in a recent exclusive inter view to the United Press.
 Selfridge, however, as a man him self actively in business, spoke of the possible development as a thing to be desired.
 A good many others who agree with him want no change because it will be at their expense, but nevertheless they believe the signs indicate that it can not be avoided.

 Treating also has been strictly pro- hibited.
 These regulations are enforced en- ergetically.
 The United Kingdom Alliances records show that drinking was de- creased, in 1915, by 8 per cent, com pared with 1914, and by 10 per cent, compared with the last full peace year, 1913.
 It is pointed out, however that this reduction is offset, or more than off, set, by the fact that from 75O,OOO to 100000 men-the soldiers-were out of the country.
 The increased percentage of re- duction is attributed to the increased number of men sent abroad
 Expenditures for drink have in creased, owing to higher prices.
 In 1914 the total was something over 164 4,OOO,OOO pounds (about $82O,- OOO,OOO.)
 In 1915 it was 182,OOO,OOO pounds (about S9lO,OOOOOO)

 LONDON, June 15.-Somebody is going to lose financially by the war, of course, but authorities are not agreed as to whether it will be every body or not.
 The answer most generally given is the afIirmative-that all classes will suffer.
 Certain optimists, however think perhaps-they are not certain-that the masses will be better off after, than before the war. Their hope is that those who have hitherto been society's parasites will have to foot the bills.
 These theorists argue:

DIVERSIFIED CROPS
FOR GRACE WILLIE
SPECIAL TO THE IouRNAI.l

ESPECIAL TO THE JOURNAIA)
Graceville, Sept. 21.-At this date
last year long line of wagons had
arrived at the gin several hours be-
fore daylight. At this date this year
at eight o'clock in the morning not a
bale was at the gin. Last year 1900
bales had been ginned to date, this
year, TIA. The stock in the ware
house is so bales of this years crop
and 40 bales of old cotton which has
been held there for several years.
Conservative estimates place 90 per
cent of this crop picked. In normal
year Graceville receives 5000 bales.
The shortage is due to boil weevil and
the July storm. Seed are bringing
$4,000 and cotton 15h.
With the shortage in the cotton
crop, the farmers are highly elated
over the velvet bean, peanut, oat, rice,
hay, sugarcane and corn crops, which
are good. They have raised more vel
vet beans and peanuts than ever be-
fore. Inquiries are now being re.
ceived for shipments by car load lots
Eight stock farms have just opened

Violating a custom almost as old

allowed to wave last night atop the
American National Bank building,
though not in the shame of darkness,
but proudly in the steady glare of a
powerful searchlight.
From all parts of the city "Old
Glory" was easily visible, and thous-
ands were inspired, beholding the
Stars and Stripes majestically famed
by a gentle breeze from the gulf.
As though jealous of their earthly
counterparts twinkling in the field of
blue, it seemed the heavenly orbs
shone more brilliantly and made a
spectacle splendid to behold, contrast
ing sharply with the swirling bands
of red and white, darting about in the
breeze.

PENSACOLA To
BREAK RECORDS
FOR TOURISTS

That Pensacola will have the larg-
est tourist season in her history this
year is shown by The number of let
ters which are beginning to pour in
to the chamber of commerce request
ing information concerning the city,
and it's inhabitants. Secretary James
F. Phillips stated yesterday that it
record, as usually no requests are
made for information until late in
October, and then not in the number
which are being received at present.
In anticipation of large tourist
business here this season, Secretary
Phillips has prepared cards which will
be distributed at hotels and other
places so that as many as possible
may be circulated, inviting tourists to
come to the chamber of commerce
for any information they desire.
The Invitation.
Following is the invitation:
Mr.. Visitor:
Pensacola is glad to see you and
wants you to make yourself at home.
If you are stranger and desire
information regarding thfs city, its
factories, fisheries, wholesale houses,
banks or business men, you will be
welcome at the office of the chamber
of commerce, 200 Brent Building,
where Mr.. Phillips, the secretary in
charge, will be pleased to see you.
Pensacola has a deep, land-locked
harbor. 1t is the largest fresh fish
market in the county. 1t is one of the
three primary naval stores markets.
The u. S. Naval Aviation Station and
the largest coast artillery post on the
gulf are here. Our winter climate
is delightful and our summer climate
still more delightful. We want you
to know about these things, and
! others.
Perhaps we may be able to assist
you in your work here by letting you
know who's who, what's what, and
where it is" Make your wants known
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
/ Advertising the Cause.
! The uncommon interest in Pensa-
cola this year is attributed to many
sources, chief of which is the adver
tising which has been carried on. II
this respect the chamber of commerce
has kept in touch with the work anC
to it is given much of the credit o
the undertaking. Much of the adver
tising has come from other sources
including railroads and hotels, whicl
together have created much in
terest in this section of Florida.
Of no little value has been the pub
licity which has been drawn to Pen
sacola on account of the aeronautica
school, for being the only one of it
kind in the union, this offers unlimit
ed points of interest.
Last year the tourist club was
great feature in the successful
season, and it il expected tina
through it more northern visitor
will be brought here this year.
