DRINK AND POVERTY
Rev. Earl E. Reisner

The liquor traffic is at the root of
most of the poverty in our country
1t has been computed that the man
who spends 80 cents day in the sa-
loon for one year could buy with that
amount of money, if he had saved it
and would spend it for food stuffs, the
following groceries: Fifteen fifty
pound sacks of flour, 20 bushels Of
potatoes, 100 pounds graduated
sugar, 10 pounds salt, so pounds OF
butter, 20 pounds of rice, so pounds
oat fakes, Is pounds coffee, S pounds
tea, so cans tomatoes, 10 dozen or
anges, 20 dozen bananas, 50 cans
corn, Is pounds beans, 100 cakes
soap, one pound pepper, four gallons
molasses, 20 gallons oil. This would
be sufficient to run medium sized
family for nearly year.

And there is kind of fun in it; that's
the trouble. In the first place, the

Is, for the time, more content, and
almost anything may seem a joke;
laughter is reader. Then, with the
relaxation, with the dispersal of eau

gruous things are said and grotesquc
things are done. Men ordinarily dull
through reserve or timidity dare to
speak whatever comes into their

A DRY CHICAGO
SURELY COMING
Federation of Anti-Saloon Forces
Prepare for Winning Fight
BIG MEN JOIN

That dry Chicago is on the way
was the conviction expressed by sew
eral speakers at recent meeting of
the Dry Chicago Federation in the
Hotel Morrison. The President of
the Federation is Bishop Thomas
Nicholson of the M. E. Church who
believes in doing big things in big
way. The Superintendent is Rev. Phil
lip Yarrow, one of the live wires
among the drys of Chicago. On the
Board of Directors are number of
distinguished citizens, among them
Capt, Richmond P. Hobson, who re-
Gently moved to Chicago in order,
largely to take part in this very fight.
Plan Big Advertising Campaign
The Federation has secured the CO.
operation of the Chicago Advertisers
Association. A committee of ten of
the best advertising men in the city
will have charge of the general publ
city of the campaign.
They will show up the lies which
the Chicago Brewers Association
and the so-called Manufacturers and
Dealers Association and other liquor
organizations have published recently
in the city papers.
Big Meeting Staged
The Federation will hold another
important meeting in the Auditorium
Hotel, February l, at p. M, when all
the doctors and lawyers of the city
will be invited to consider phases of
the campaign of special interest to
them.
Judge VIM. N. Gemmill of the
Municipal Court, and DIR. w. A.
Evans, former health officer, have
consented to speak. Former Govern
or Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts,
has been invited, and will probably be
present. No one who has attended
these meetings doubts that this is the
most determined and efficient move
to put Chicago in the dry column that
has yet been made.

The following excerpts from a
story entitled "Nipskillions" by the
popular writer Booth Harrington, is
characterized by the editor of the
American Magazine as zone of the
most extraordinary things published
anywhere in recent years"
Mr.. Harrington puts the words
quoted below in the mouth of ia
nous painter, but makes it plain that
they also express his own convic-
tons:
"My drinking was all for comedy.
That's what nine-tenths of American
best-class drinking is for-comedy.
In our hearts most of us really as
sumo life to be tragedy. The ego
is in opposition to the law; it can't
do what it wishes to do, and never
even discovers what it really does
want.
"You put happy ending to your
stories for precisely the same reason
that the thinking kind of man drinks
to get away from life, to make
moments that are bearable.
"Well, there is laughter in alcohol.
There are morose drinkers; there are
people who want the warming ply

drink to conquer timidity, whether
for burglary, rendezvous, or a

OCEAN PARK, Cal, Aug. d
Miss Peggy Burke. Pacific coast
champion sport Fish" rider, is
training to defend her title in a ma
tional meet to be held here in Aug
ust.
Introducing the fact that the
new fun of sport Fish" riding is
not mere fad. 1t is now general
ly' recognized as the latest of
ocean pleasure stunts.
This queer sea-going novelty was
evolved by John b. McCarty, in
ventor of the wireless telephone.
1t is built in the shape of a gro
tesque fish and is inflated with
air when ready for action. II
weighs only 10 pounds but will
hold up a quarter-ton weight.
The sport-fish was introduced
to water pleasure seekers as a sub
stitute for the Hawaiian surf
board.
The rider coming in on the crest
of the waves attains the terrific
speed of SO miles and hour.
Any slip of balance means a
dangerous head-end plunge into
the sea.
Miss Burke won her title Of
western champion in contest with
both men and women swimmers.
She has developed an uncanny
ability in mastering this tricky,
wobbling ocean steed.
"In the ocean the sport-fish
bucks like broncho when a wave
hits it," said Miss Burke. 1.-THE
rider must time the break of the
waves carefully in order to be-
come expert.
Keeping your balance is the
hardest part"
