ALCOHOL AND LIFE INSURANCE

In a number of life insurance com- panies, chiefly in Great Britain, the abstainers were separated from the rest of the policyholders Gall ac- cepted as temperate and healthy risks), and the difference in the death rate determined. In one insti. tuition of London over a period of forty-tive years, the mortality of the non-abstainers, or so-called moderate drinkers, accepted as temperate and healthy risks, was 37 per cent high CT than that among the total ab- stainers. In another association of London, over period of twenty seven years, the mortality of the non-abstainers was 54 per cent high CT than among the total abstainers. In a third life assurance company of Glasgow. over a period of twenty-nine years, the mortality of the non-abstainers was A per cent higher than the mortality among abstainers. In a Canada company over period of eight years the nor tality of the non-abstainers, who had been accepted as temperate and healthy risks was 7S per cent higher than among the abstainers.- Quoted from the Journal of the Am erican Medical Association from the Monthly Health Letter, Life Exten- sion InStitute-AdY

FOOLS AND FOOLS.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said:
 Every one agrees that a man who spends his earnings for drink is not only bad customer for all except liquor dealers and saloon keepers, but he is fool He just as much fool if he spends his earn ings on food alone, or jewelry, or tobacco, or theaters or motion pie lures, yet we do not ask that all people be forbidden these things be- cause fools squander their money on them."-
 To this Golfers Weekly wisely replied:-
 Still, at the moment, we do not recall ever having seen a woman who would not prefer a gold wrist watch to a blow from the fool she married; nor a little child who would run under the bed to avoid the fool who wanted to take him to the movies. And, try as we may, we are unable to recollect ever hav- ing seen two fools or four fools buy ing each other ham in a butcher shop and later on trying to murder one another with link sausage. Speaking scientifically, there are fools and fools,-and then some. - Adv.

DES Laos WOMAN ASSAULT
ED BY DEGENERATE BRUTE

Mrs. John Healey of Des Laos was
assaulted by brute shortly after dark
Saturday night and in her desperate
encounter with the being her mouth
was badly cut on her teeth, caused by
the pressure of the mans hands over
her mouth.
Mrs. Healey had just returned from
the hall, where she had been assisting
with the Catholic supper, when the
brute jumped out from the darkness
and grabbed her. He placed his hands
over her mouth so she could not make
any cutlery. He carried in his hand
what the woman thought was gun,
but later she learned that it was a
flashlight She screamed for help and
her husband ran out, when her assail-
ant ran away. The officers were mott
fed and after many transients had
been examined one fellow known as
Grice, who has been working around
Des Laos for six weeks, was arrested.
He is now lying in the Ward county
bastile.

tria. The doctor states that the COM
mon people Of Germany do not realize
even now the seriousness Of the strug-
gle in which the German nation is en-
gagged. AS a general rule they are not
in favor of the war, and privately ex-
press their doubts as to whether Ger
many was justified in starting the war.
In Germany there is strict supervis-
ion of the food supply. During his
stay there was apparently plentiful
supply and the reports that Germany
is starving are false and misleading.
Bread is portioned daily while meats
are only allowed five days per week,
and later he learned that the regula-
tions in force provide for a meat al
lowance but four days per week. The
daily allowance of bread is $50 grams
and 100 grams, or about three ounces,
is the meat allowance Bread tickets
are issued and the streets are packed
for blocks as the people line up to re-
ceive their tickets. However, there is
a plentiful supply of fish and no re-
strictions are placed upon fish con-
sumption. In Vienna the ration al
lowances are more liberal.

KING OF GREECC

The troubles King Constantine of
Greece has had to bear since Europe
broke into war has been at the rate of
one trouble per minute. He has been
standing between two emotions. First,
his wife, who, being the kaiser's sis
ter, fought against any movement
which would pit the Greek against her
brother in bloody conflict; second, the
greater part of his subjects have in
sisted that Greece join with the allies.
Standing out against his people for so
long, he at last lost most Of the popu-
larity he and the queen held at the
time of their ascension. Then an old
Greek tradition was resurrected which
held that when a Constantine and
Sophia next sat on the Hellenic throne
Constantinople would in time become
their capital. This hope is now lost.

f. g. RIPLEY

Capital is putting up more serious
attempt than ever to combat the pow
er of the labor organization. The
fight to declare unconstitutional the
eight hour law which congress passed
for the brotherhoods has already bee,
started by E. P. Ripley, presiden
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
railroad. He believes the groy
strength of labor will eventually
mand everything in sight until q !,
cial revolution will result. In his de-
fiance Of the eight hour law he says:
Congress, hastily acting under a
threat of four leaders of labor organ
izations, enacted so-called eight-hour
law, which is nothing more nor less
than an advance of 20 to rs per cent
in the wages of the best paid men in
railway service. 1t is only fair to the
public and to our employees to say that
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company does not intend to
comply with the law until compelled
to do so by the court of last resort"
On the other hand, William B. Fitz-
gerald, labor organizer, who tied up
the traction systems of New York
twice, says capital throughout the
country is using every effort to crush
labor organization. In statement he
says: "Mr. Shonts and Mr.. Hedley Of

Dark were the clouds that hung
over the Hungarian parliament when
it reconvened, and red CLEANED the
anger of the people against the gov
eminent, as reflected by large por-
ton of the house. A constant chorus
and refrain, "Abdicate! Resign! Get
out! You have betrayed the father
land!" greeted Premier Tisza in what
was one of the widest and most tu-
multous sessions in years. even in the
most uncommonly tumultuous Hun
garian parliament. The Karolyi, APP
ponyi, Justh and Andrassy parties,
but more especially Karolyi and Justh,
hurled accusation after accusation at
Tisza that the Hungarian nation had
been deceived and misled as to the i'm
minence of the Roumanian entrance
into the war and charged that the
government and it's diplomacy had
been the dupe of Roumanina cunning,
which had brought so much misery,
suffering and loss to the people of the
richest sections Of Hungary, where
thousands of refugees were sudden
" compelled to flee before the unex-
pected invasion when resting secure
under Tisza's assurances of Aug. "a.
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
minister at Bucharest, was called a
traitor. Count Tisza, for his part,
frankly admitted that every branch in
the government, diplomatic and mill
tary, had been misled and deceived by
Roumania. He fell back upon the ere
lance placed in kings word" and
expressed the hope that with Gods
help Roumania would not escape it's
fate" Count Tisza appealed for unity
on the part of the Hungarian people
in this grave hour and in that was
seconded by Counts Apponyi and An
Grassy, despite their scathing criti-
cism.
