PROHIBITION BENEFITS MiLkMAN

A Massachusetts man, investigating
the dairy business in Denver, found
that during the first four months under
state prohibition there was an increase
in milk sales of over $21 200.
One dairy had milk route In dis
trict where AZ saloons had been its
best customers, and the proprietor ex-
pected to take that particular wagon
Off. But with the closing of the So
looms came the opening of more lunch
counters and milk sales in that district
increased about $15 a day.
There has been little increase In the
better residence districts-Park hill,
Capitol hill and the well-to-do parts Of
the North and South sides, where, IL
people drank, at least they could also
buy milk. But a route around the
stockyards has an increased business
of So n day. one around the railroad
shops an increase of so n day; one In
the district between Curtis and Lari-
mer street. an increase of So u day.

BEER pRINkER AND HIS FAMILY.

ut Is difficult to find heavy beer
drinker 40 years Of age with n normal
liver, kidneys or heart" says Dr. ID.
III. kress. "These vital organs, from
the excessive burden that Is thrown
upon them, wear out prematurely.
The beer drinker may have an abund-
ance of flesh, but 1t Is of inferior
quality. Surgeons do not care to OPP
crate upon him, because the chances
of recovery are minimized. Should
the beer drlnker be stricken down with
pneumonia or some other febrile dis
ease that taxes the heart and kidneys.
he would have but three chances out
of ten to make recovery"

GERMANY WILL NOT
ATTEMPT BLOCKADE
DECLARES COMMERCIAL WAR
OFF AMERICAN COAST IN AC-
CoRDANcE WITH RULES.
Holds That German Sea Forces
Are Entitled to Carry on Cruiser
Warfare and viii Not Infringe
Upon American Rights.

Bcrlin.--In answer to the report sent
cut by the British wireless that the
German submarine U.53 "torpedoed in
some cases and sank" ships, compe
tent German authority, says the Over
seas News agency. makes the follow
ing statement:
THE commercial war near the coast
of the United States is being carried
on according to rules and the Ger
man promise, which means that a mer
chairman can be stopped and that
after the vessel has been searched
and the crew and passengers are In
safety, the vessel can be sunk, under
certain conditions.
"These conditions are, for instance
when hostile steamer or a neutral
steamer carrying contraband of war is
involved, or when the military situa.
ton makes it impossible to bring a
steamer which has been captured into
port as prize.
I'm no case, however, can this be
construed to mean that merchant.
man may be sunk by a torpedo with
out previous warning.
According to further reports from
Washington. the American authorities
are said to be afraid that very compli-
Gated questions Of neutrality may
arise If the German submarines oper-
ate so near the American coast and
that such submarine action is equiva-
lent to blockade"
To this 1t is stated that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry on a
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters of neutral
states are carefully respected. A
blockade, Of course, is out of the
question.

RAISES STANDARD OF LIVING.

Miss Gertrude Vale, executive Sec
rotary Of the bureau of charity and cor
rections, says In the Denver News:
1--WE have been asked many times
whether prohibition has had any eff
feet on the work of the city relief
office. We feel that IL has very great
ly helped us. The number of fam
lilies asking relief from the city Office
has been about hundred month less
than for the corresponding month last
year.
Most Of that difference Is account
ed for In the employment problem.
We have had very much less trouble
with unemployment this year than
last. That may not be due to prohibit
ton, but at least, prohibition has not
created hard unemployment prob
lem, as some people anticipated. We
can recall only two cases in which re-
lief has been asked because the man
had been thrown out Of employment
by the closing of the saloons.
Men are using their wages more
for their families. Among us all In
tle oihce we Gull tiilHk OI only TWO
cases since the first of last January
In which woman has complained
that her husband did not bring home
his wages. Last year that was
frequent and bitter complaint.
"Grocers tell us, without exception,
that they are better able to make their
collections, and that people are buy
ing more and better quality of food.
One grocer commented that 1t was
worth great deal to see the in
creased manner of sef-respect with
which the women did the buying since
they could buy better things.
$50 we are convinced that how
ever much or little actual drunk
enness may have had to do with the
poverty we meet, at any rate, since
the closing of the saloons people are
being better fed, and that will go far
to reduce some other cause of pow
erty.
"They are doing better about meet
ing their just obligations, and that
will go far toward raising their self
respect and their general standard of
living"

Try Again and Again.

If you fail once in an enterprise or
undertaking, try again, and you fail a
second time try again. The builders
of the bridge across the St. Lawrence
river at Quebec did not stop when the
65O-feet span fell in the river. They
made another effort and only the other
day the second great span fell just as
it was about to be adjusted. But the
engineers will not stop. They will try
a third time and fourth time, if nee
essary. Building your fortune is not
less important than building q bridge
across the st. Lawrence.
If you fail in an undertaking, great
or small, try again, and if perchance
you fail second time, try again and
again and again. Each succeeding eff
fort will the better fit you for the
final mastery.

"Accept Result in Good Faith"

Whether we were disappointed or
elated over the election last week, as
the Yorkville Enquirer says, let US
"accept the result in good faith. " The
Enquirer has all along been an ardent
supporter of Mr.. Blease and while 1t
would have had the preponderance OF
votes on his side, yet it hopes that
"both sides will accept the result IN
good faith" :" This is what The En-
quirer had to say about the election:
"It will have to be admitted that the
Meaningless have won great victory.
Although The Enquirer never makes
predictions as to what is going to hap
pen in politics, we do not mind saying
that in view of all the circumstances
the outcome of Tuesdays second pri-
mary was a surprise. There was no
good reason to believe that all of the
Cooper vote would go to Blease, but
there did appear to be good reason to
believe that enough of itwould go to
him to give him at least small ma
iority. However it has not turned out
that way, and the probable secret is
that the Meaningless were the hardest
workers. We are not disposed to
charge or even intimate fraud, for we
have no evidence of anything of the
kind. and it Is to be hoped that both
sides will accept the result in good
faith -
