Using can be made to influence this
latter class in a way that will be In
directly valuable to the advertiser"
1t is further stated that newspaper
advertising for beer should be design
ed to attract and appeal to women as
we'll as men, for II beer is to be used
in the home, the women must be won
over to it," An advertisement Of the
Moorhead branch Of the Hennep1Q
Brewing Company bears picture OF
man, his wife. and little boy, all
drinking beer; 1t also bears this verse:
"And now, dear reader, you see,
There is a new branch on the Brau
family tree;
If you want to know why
This kid is so spry,
Just order some Brau, and you'll see."
Letters soliciting the patronage of
women frequently offer premiums OF
chinaware and similar household ar
ticles designed to appeal to feminine
taste.
That portion of the interstate trade
in alcoholic liquors which is the re-
suit Of mail solicitation, imposes the
evils of drink upon classes which de.
serve careful consideration on the part
Of the government Oklahoma, Oregon,
West Virginia, North Dakota, Colo
RADIO, Maine, Alabama, Georgia, South
Dakota, Virginia and Mississippi, is out
of harmony with such great organi-
cations as the Y. M. C. A., which has
requested that publications entering
its buildings exclude drink sales pub
licity, is out Of harmony with such
trade organizations as the Associated
Bill Posters and Distributors PrOtec-
tive Company, is out Of harmony with
the churches, colleges and social vel.
fare societies of the nation.
The Federal government is directly
concerned because alcohol is recog'
nized source of national weakness, be-
cause the extension of the drink trade
is at the expense Of the legitimate
trade, is inimical to health and dan
gerous in times of national emergency
A law excluding liquor advertising
and solicitation from the mails woulC
be in accordance with the precedent
which has excluded obscene publica
tons, lottery tickets, shipments of Ii
Quors and contraceptive devices. Thu
government already imposes restric
tons which are based upon recogni
ton of the peculiar character and ten
denotes of the trade and this add
tional restriction would be a logica
development Of policy, uniform in it,
operation and just to the various
classes of citizenship.

Larger Than All New England VIII
Maryland Added.

Maryland Added.
To those Of us who remember Idaho
In our school biographies as a small
pink block, shaped like an easy chair
facing east, it may be Of interest that
this state, which in 1890 added the
forty fifth star to the constellation of
the dag, is nearly as large as Pennsyl-
van1a and Ohio combined and larger
than the six New England states with
Maryland included for good measure
It is divided into thirty-three counties,
the smallest Of which is half as large
as the state Of Rhode Island and the
largest greater than the combined area
OF Massachusetts and Delaware.
Idaho covers an area Of S3,889 square
miles, divided principally between the
Rocky mountain region and the Co.
lumbia plateau, only small part In
the southeast corner of the state lying
in the great basin. In elevation above
sea level the state ranges from 735
feet, at Lewiston, to 12,O7S feet at the
summit Of Hyndman peak. It is drain
ed mainly to the Columbia through the
Snake river and its tributaries and has
an annual rainfall Of about seventeen
inches, the range in a single year. at
different places being from six to thir-
ty-eight inches.
The industries of the state are chiefly
agriculture, stock raising and mining.
Hay. wheat, oats and potatoes are the
principal crops. A large area is cult
waited by irrigation. The mineral pro-
duction includes gold, silver copper.

DIRT KILLS OYSTERS.

Those 1ivaIvss Are tho c!eansst Of Al
Our Sea Foods.
The following facts about oysters are
given by a member of a family that
has been connected. with the oyster
trade for 800 years:
The average oyster before suitable
for consumption Is between three and
four years Of, age. They are undoubt-
eddy the cleanest as well as the most
nutritious Of fish. for it is a fact that n
anything In the way of dirt gets, into
the shell Of any oyster it Immediately
dies.
The embryo oyster when it Is about
twelve months old is planted In the
most suitable waters. The young oys-
tiers: are taken out In fiat bottomed
boats. shoveled overheard in likely;
spots and allowed to remain there till
they are stable and ready for catch
ing. This is done by means Of dredges,
which 60 over the oyster beds with a
large rake arrangement dragging from
ropes on the bottom Of the sea, the
oysters being thus forced from the bed
into the large nets fastened to the in
side Of the rake.
The breeding powers of oysters are
simply amazing, and it has been CON-
puted that 1000 full grown parents
produce 440,0o0.O00 embryos in the
course of a year. But of these it is es-
timated that only 421 individuals reach
maturity, for the mortality is enor-
nous, millions being washed away and
devoured> by hungry fishes.-Buffalo

Of the most competent English experts
in ophthalmOlOgy calls attention to the
fact that those nearsighted persons
who take of their glasses to read or
to do any near work thereby increase
the convexity of the eye lens. which is
the cause Of nearsightedpess, and thus
gradually create need for glasses of
greater power. He advises them to
wear their glasses all the time and to
use them both for near and for distant
work.

II can understand" remarked the
office philosopher to the visitor to his
sanctum, most Of the feminine traits
and characteristics that puzzle the or
binary man. but when a woman be-
gins to practice economy she leaves
me lashed to the mast and quivering
with helpless establishment.
"Of course, the whole sex is eco
nom1cal. You have to admit that, be-
cause every woman says she Is eco
nomdca1 and no. gentleman would un-
dertake to dispute lady's statement
at least, no gentleman Of my acquaint-

ever she tells me shells going to econo-

and then leap for the tall timber. Her
plan is to think up a whole lot of
things she cannot possibly do without.
and then do without them. BY this
device she saves at single stroke the
cost OF the entire list. Having thus
accumulated a surplus, she naturally
proceeds to spend It, and she is al
ways prepared to prove she has saved
much money in the process.
There is no answer, or no answer
worth making. On occasions of this

LIQUOR ADVERTISING SHOULD
BE EXCLUDED FROM U. s.
MAILS

The following summary of the rea-
sons why liquor advertising and soil
citing should be excluded from the
U. S. mails prepared by the Method
list Board of Temperance is as COM
prehensive and to the point as any
thing we have seen in the line. 1t is a
complete indictment against the pres.
ent use Of federal agencies to create
and intensity appetite for alcoholic
liquors, insult the conscientious con.
victions Of American homes, assail the
laws and customs of states and de.
bauch youth with offensive and vic
ious advertising.
The federal mails are being used to
transmit liquor advertising and soil

them resident In homes where consci

In liquor with the traffic in vice, the
practice of thievery and the most
loathsOme forms of industrial parasit

Advertising and solicitation so trans.
mttted is intended to create a demand
for alcoholic liquors where such de-
mand did not previously exist, to pro
woke the appetite where existent, and
to undermine the American prejudice
against the table use Of such druggeL
drinks. By the compulsion of sugges.
ton, It converts the abstainers into
drinkers and defeats the resolution
OF the drinkers striving to cease the
habit. This is admittedly an evil to the
citizen and q menace to the social
welfare.
