Why NOT PROHIBIT wATERa

A letter clipped from one Of the
New York morning papers has been
sent us for publication. The writer
urges that water should be prohibited
as 1t causes the deaths Of thousands
Of people by engendering typhoid and
other diseases. This reasoning is typ
zeal Of much that emanates from the
liquor traffic. Water does not cause
disease. It has never poisoned any
man. 1t is only when some poison
liEe typhoid pollutes the water that
there is danger. The remedy is to
prohibit or do away with the poison,
not the water. And this, says Tenn
perance, is precisely what modern san
itary science is trying to do. We no
longer cOnfne our efforts to the saw
Ing of the victims of typhoid, we seek
to prohibit or destroy the cause. The
efforts Of temperance people to do
away with alcohol as a beverage Is
perfectly logical because alcohol Is a
poisonous drug. II alcohol were as
harmless as water only lunatics would
advocate its prohibition.

know that this country is aiding the allied nations
in exterminatlng so-caled "kultur" and In estab-
fishing peace on earth for centuries at least. The
boys will give thanks because they have been
privileged to give their services their money for
Liberty bonds and their lives, If necessary, to
bring to close this worst struggle of all the ages.
AT the naval stations elaborate programs have
been prepered Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife Of
the commandant of Great Lakes naval training
station, early conceived the idea Of giving big
Thanksgiving dinner to the 10000 boys now train
ng there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit,
Mrs Moffett confded her wish to some Of her
friends.
Cant we do something to bring home little
closer to the boys for just one day.? Mrs Moffett
asked. Many Of the young boys actually need to
pass Thanksgiving In a real home-they have been
separated from their own people long that their
hearts are calling out for glimpse into home
where there is a mother, father, some noisy
children and home-cooked food"
Mrs Moffett'a idea quickly became popular A
committee was formed to secure the boys who
were to accept the scores Of invitations from Chi
cagoans and other hospitable people along the
north shore of Lake Michigan who showed a de-
sire to entertain the jackies on Thanksgiving day.
Chaplain Charles w. Moore lent his aid In select
ing the boys for the invitations More than 1000
young men were granted liberty to visit the homes
where they are guests of honor for real Thanks

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

If mermaids were no bigger than some fairies
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never seen one alive. Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale-very dead and
dried-at shops that specialize In marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalists say) is one Of the
most ancient Of fishes. 1t is one Of natures
oldest lmitations-a "camoufage," so to speak.
1t has a horselike head, and its body is so
shaped as to resemble the neck of that quadrr-
ped. But really, when one comes to examine It,
the thing 1t counterfeits is the knight piece Of
the chessboard.
The sea horse has tubelike snout, at the end
of which are the mouth and jaws. It's head is
topped by sort Of coronet Clad in a complete
suit Of armor plates 1t cannot flex Its body like
other fishes and Its finless tail Is Of no use for
locomotion.
1t feeds on small shr1mps and other crusta-
ceans Occasionally, uncoiling its tail from the
supporting plant, 1t swims slowly not like other
fishes but always In vertical position, its back
fin vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
air-bladder which Is always distended by guam
tity Of gas so exactly adjusted for equilibrium
that, If a single bubble no larger than the head
of small pin be extracted the creature falls to
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
Is healed and fresh supply Of gas has been
secreted. 2
But the most remarkable point about the sea
horse is that the male is provided with an ex-
ternal stomachpouch in which, at the mating sea
son, the female deposits her eggs The lining
membrane Of the pouch secretes nutritious fluid
on which the young, when hatched, are fed When
they are big enough to take care of themselves.
the father sea horse rubs his stomach against
Wrinkle shell or some other convenient object and
by this means forces them ont into the water.

Rome in the days Of Augustus was city of
more than 100000 persons, and 1t did not have a
single hospital.
The city was built mainly of brick, with narrow,
tortuous streets. But 1t had some broad and
well-paved thoroughfares, the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way, which was the
metropolitan terminus 90 to speak, of one of the
great military roads that radlated from Rome as
center to all parts Of me empire
The houses Of the rich, and even those Of the
fairly well-to-do, we've supplied with running wa
ter. No modern system Of aqueducts surpassed
that of ancient Rome and the water was dis
tributed to dwellings by underground pipes that
furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections
to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals
along the street. From these tanks lead pipes
carried the water to the houses on either SIDE
which were provided with faucets and basins like
our houses Of today.
This In itself is very interesting fact, because
even two centuries ago there was no such ade-
quate system Of water supply for cities anywhere
In the civilized world. In respect of this import
ant item Of civilization, the destruction Of Rome
byawar put the world back about 1900 years.
When julius Caesar first visited Alexandria In
Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured By
the Greek charms Of Cleopatra, he found there so
complete an underground water-suppy system
tndI the city seemed 'nOHOW UNDERNEATH.
The aqueducts Of andent Rome substantial re-
mains of which still exist, supplied numerous
street fountains, at which the people drank, and,
much more important the enormous bath build
Tags erected and maintained at fabulous expense
by various emperors.
There were no street lamps. Soldiers employed
as policemen carried torches through the streets.
It was a method corresponding nearly to that In
use III European cities couple Of centuries ago.

ed with braziers Of charcoal Olive oil lamps and

giving dinner. Most Of the boys are to be taken
to church services before the dinner Automobile

What is being done at Great Lakes, where the
largest naval training station Of the world Is To-
Gated, is typical of the programs at the other
training stations.
On every battleshp guarding our coast lines, in
every submarine craft which bears American
sailors, or every other ship manned by the blue
jackets at least portion Of Thanksgiving day will
be devoted to meditation. Religious services will
be held on many Of the ships.
Turkey dinners with several courses, topped off
with ice cream or other delicacies, are to be
served to all of the navy men. And as they eat
the boys will appreciate as never before the sig
nifcance Of Thanksgiving and the turkey dinner.
They win better understand the hardships which
the Pilgrims endured In order that they might
establish a people who should be at liberty to
worship as they saw fit.
And as they think of the forttude of the men
who fought hunger, and cold, and disease and
death in order that somewhere there should be a
country where people could be assured Of liberty,
the jackies sincerely offer up their gratitude to
the power which has made 1t possible for them
to aid In preserving this nation from the loss Of
that priceless liberty,

BEER MUST GO.

In not one Of the 20 dry states, nor
In the District of Columbia, Alaska or
Porto Rico, does the prohibition law
exempt beer. Beer is not exempt In
the army and navy prohibition regula-
lions, nor in any territory under fed
eral prohibition. In Oregon, Washing
ton, Colorado and Arizona the brewers,
with millions Of dollars behind them,
tried to force a beer amendment upon
the people, and In every case were
overwhelmingly defeated. These facts
and the growing anti-beer sentiment
throughout the country should con-
vince the brewers and their hackers
that any attempt to put a beer and
light wine exemption clause in the res
olution now before congress for a pro-
hibition amendment to the federal Con-
stitution is doomed to failure. They
would better save their money for the
transforming of their breweries into
tood-producing factories.

INDICTMENT AGAINST ALCOHOL

'The medical profession has beer

Of alcoholic beverages" says DR.. w. A.

ternal use rarely is prescribed by
physicians except when such prescrib-
ing is done for, the purpose Of evad-
ing some law,

alcohol for medicinal purposes have
either been discontinued or else they
