Chihuahua, which as short a time
ago as 1911, was referred to in Terrys
Guidebook to Mexico as the largest
and richest Of Mexican states" has
been terribly impoverished by five
years Of chronic revolution and bandit
ry. The guerrilla fighters-and they
are all that in point of fact-have lived
OF the country. They have got COM
paratively little out OF the mines,
though at intervals they have extract
ed n tribute on ore mined, but they
have driven of great herds Of cattle,
looted stores, wrecked industry.

the desert. Conspicuous among the
birds Of the region Is the chaparral
cock, which attacks and eats rattle
snakes with unbridled gusto. The des-
ert has its own remedy for snake bites.
1t is plant called the sneezewort
The Juice of its leaves contain a strong
alkaloid, which serves as an antidote
for snake poison. Snakes have bit
ter dislike Of 1t, and 1t is trick Of the
Indians to irritate them into biting it,
with the result that they quickly die
in commissions.
One of the interesting products Of
this region Is the Chihuahua dog,
which resembles the sleeve dog Of
China and the chin koro dog of Japan.
They are sometimes called butterfly
dogs" Usually they weigh from one
to three pounds, and are often no
larger than a large rat. Pure-bred
specimens are distinguished by de-
preston about the size of pea in the
forehead and by the possession of five
nails on each foot. Before the tourist
tide set into Mexico these dogs could
be bought for five dollars each. Now
they often sell for hundreds and even
thousands of dollars.

W EFT BRAIN.

WET BRAIN.
DR.. w. A. Evans conducts an "How
to Keep Well" department in Chicago
Tribune. The other day, under the
above caption, he devoted consider
able space to the drinkers brain.
"The man." he said, who takes a
social drink should know of q new
danger that lies in store for him. It
is wet brain. He has probably heard
that drink lowers the moral tone, that
it weakens resistance, that II he in
dulges presently he will be unable to
resist, that 1t makes his judgment
poor, and that, finally. he develops de-
lirium tremens. Delirium tremens was
the veil beyond which nothing lay.
Doctors Sceleth and Beifeld now
come forward with the warning that
beyond delirium tremens lies wet
brain, that only one man in four at
tackled by wet brain RECEIVERS. And
Doctors Sceleth and Beifeld ought to
know, for the former has been physi-
clan to the bridewell for many years
and he has cared for about $500
drunks a year during all of that time.
A great many of these drunks have
had delirium tremens. Many OF them
have had wet brain. Most of the wet
brain cases have died and autopsy has
been made on them. Every drink Is
mixed drink. There are no other
kinds. When a man takes drink,
however simple 1t may be, he mixes in
some degeneration of his nerve cells,
some chance of delirium tremens, and
few other Ingredients. Let him un-
derstand that he also pours into the
glass about one finger of wet brain"

coNsuMPrIoN OF ALCOHOL.

That the use of beer and wines does
not tend to decrease the consumption
of strong liquors. is shown by Gabriel
son. a Swedish statistician who has
published the results Of his re-
searches. The figures are for the pc
riod 19O6-1910.
France consumes more than three
times as much alcohol per capita as
the United States. due to its general
use of wine. Italy consumes nearly
three times as much. Spain twice as
much, Greece twice AS much, Switzer-
land twice as much, Portugal nearly
twice as much. Belgium consumes
considerably more alcohol, although
it is one of the leading beer countries.
In Germany 40 per cent of the total
drink consumption is of spirits. while
in the United States more than 65
per cent of the total drink consumption
ia beer. which seems to indicate that
the Germans, despite their beer preju-
dices, use considerably more spirits
per capita than the United States.

league. Mr.. l. ]. Copenharve of the
Omaha Typographical union.
The league has issued the following
statement:
"The object Of this league is to i'm
press upon the general public that GER
tain labor organizations and Trade
Union Liberty Leagues controlled by
the liquor interests. do not voice the
true sentiment of the labor organiza-
tions of Nebraska In their effort to

Is subservient to the whims of said
liquor industry.
ut shall be the aim of this organ
izatlon to publicly disclaim in every
way possible that union labor of Ne
braska looks upon the use of liquor
as an aid to its welfare and advance
ment, but rather that the use of in
toxicating liquor is the greatest handi-
cap union labor has to contend with
in making its fight for Justice for the
working class.
THE members Of this league resent
any effort of the liquor element to
place union labor of Nebraska in the
attitude OF supporting an industry that
never has and never can aid the work
ingman in his struggle for better con-
ditions for himself and family"
