FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.

s~''s "SS1sNN' SV''Nf>''NNs
From an economic viewpoint the
drunkard is nonexistent. What big
business" is fighting today is mod
crate drinking"-the ounce-and.a-half-
a-day kind of thing. With the excep-
tion of those connected with the trade
in alcoholic drinks-and their hangers
on-the entire world Of business and
industry is lined up against alcohol,
and the battle (since drunkenness is
s~elf-confessed defeat) is being waged
against moderate drinking. 1t is with
the man who can drink and be sober,
thank heaven!" that industry is pick
ing a quarrel. The psychologist has
shown that he is morally detective
poisoned atop; the medico.actuarial
mar has shown that he is physically
depleted, warped, defective and throws
away from ten to thirteen years Of
his imperfect life; and big business"
has learned that economically he is
SO bad an investment that only in
rare cases is it worth while to bother
with tinkering and repairing him.

Sober"

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.

State Senator Peterson Of Mime
sofa, speaking Of the men thrown out
of employment in Moorhead by the
closing Of its saloons, says:
1.-THE election put out Of the liquor
trade probably three hundred men, in.
Guiding the employers. Those who
were welded to the business CT course
had to seek employment elsewhere.
but many of them elected to stay and
60 into other lines Of work. And for
such there has been abundance Of
work at a good wage. There has been
no man in Mocrhead able and willing
to work who could not get employ
ment.
1.-THE banks have not suffered. The
savings accounts have increased In
number and amount and one Of the
banks Is increasing its capital from
$4,000 to 100000"

IN CRIME,

DECREASE IN CRIME.
Five months under prohibition law
have now elapsed and the results are
beginning to be very apparent says
the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun-
ty, Alabama. THE decrease in crime
in Jefferson county is clearly indicat-
ed by the Jail records, which show q
total number of state prisoners now
in Jail of 100, against 1886 December
1, 1914, one year ago today, and this
in the face of the fact that NJ straw
bonds are being taken, and that ev-
cry care is taken to ascertain the alb
solute suficiency Of every bond ap-
proved"
The state pays thirty cents a day
for feeding each prisoner in the JEFF
ferson county Jail. therefore this de.
crease of 176 inmates means a saving
of $3.50 per day, Of s1,5S4 per month,
and of sl9,OOS per year.

NOT HER JOSEPH.
Woman Seeking Husband Here Is
 GrievousIy Disappointed.

Mrs. Blanche Napiecoski al- though not believing that the world necessarily owes her living, is of the
 opinion that there is one or two men in it that does and came to New
 Britain today from Massachusetts in nattempt to collect. The trip was made, she informed the police, was upon information received December 5, leading her to believe that her husband. Joseph, who left her at East Hampton in 1907, five months after they were married, was happily settled In this city and working in one of the local factories. The police brought in the man she supposed to be the missing Joseph and they faced each other at police headquarters this afternoon. Rage, disappointment and a renewed determination to locate Jo- seph some time took turns in express sion on Blanche's face. The one she thought to be him bore a somewhat similar description and the same name.
 She explained that after Joseph left her she lived with a man named Stanley Menchekopky in Wilkes barre, Pa, for year and a half. Then, according to her story, he disappeared for parts unknown, leaving her with a fourteen month old child.
