INSURANCE TESTIMONY.

Results of the medlco-actuarial in
vestigation based on statistical data
from 40 American life insurance COM
panies covering an experience of %
years shows ~ that individuals who
took two glasses of beer or glass of
whisky or an equivalent amount of
alcohol In any form, each day, showed
a mortality 18 per cent higher than the
average of the group; (2) that the NOR
tally among those who had INDUCED
in occasional alcoholic excuses previ-
GUS to their application for life insur-
ance was so per cent higher than the
average, which means the loss of four
years to such lives; (3) that men who
acknowledged the habit of INDUCING
somewhat freely, but who were still
considered acceptable for insurance,
showed mortality of SO per cent high
er than the average.

BEER MOST DEADLY.

DIR. S. HI. Burger, a practitioner 35
years, % in Toledo, O., says:
Il think beer kills quicker than any
other liquor. My attention was first
called to its insidious effects when l
began examining for life insurance. I
passed as unusually good risks five
Germans, young business men, who
seemed in the best health, and to have
superb constitutions. In a few years
was amazed to see the whole five
drop off. one after another, with what
ought to have been mild and easily
durable diseases. On comparing my
experiences with those Of other physi-
clans found they were all having
similar luck with confirmed beer
drinkers, and my practice since has
heaped confirmation upon confirma-
tion."

TEMPERANCE

LABOR UNION VS.. SALOON.

From an address by Rev. Father
James e. Cassidy of Fall River, Mass.
"Unionism, as 1 conceive it, stands
for brotherly help. Saloonism stands
for brotherly robbery. Unionism stands
for self-protection. Saloonism stands
for self-destruction. Unionism stands
for self and brotherly benefit. Saloon
ism stands for self and brotherly In
jury. Unionism stands for conserva-
tion of strength and increase of wage.
Snloonism stands for the dissipation
and diminution of both. Unionism
stands for the full dinner pail Saloon
ism stands for pocketful of beer
checks. Uni0nism stands for better
homes and the highest standard of
workmanship. Saloonism stands for
wretched homes and ruined workman
ship. Well you know 1t, better than
do !, you whose homes 1t has made des-
olate, whose wives and daughters It
has devoured, whose sons and fathers
it has consumed, whose little ones It
has fed upon. You know what the
saloon stands for. You know it stands
for the fattening Of the few while the
many perish and die. But you will say
to me: If the saloon be such deadly
enemy Of labor, why does not unionism
fight 1t? And I answer, sane, skilled.
disinterested, farsighted unionism has
always fought 1t and the more skilled
the members, the more deadly the con-
fict. And organized labor is slowly
shutting off Its wind and will eventual
ly destroy 1t.

CUT OUT LIQUOR SHIPMENTS.

Big express companies are refusing
10. o. d. liquor shipments into dry ter
ritory. "The reason why we do not
care to transport liquor into dry terri
tory" says Mr.. Simpson, general SUI
perintendent Of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany. ''is because such operations are
nothing more than conducting saloons.
1t does not seem fair to vote out the
operation of saloons and permit ex-
press companies to come right along
and conduct the same traffic"

de Baugis and your orders to convey
the prisoner to Quebec for trial."
Cassion's face went white, and he
struggled madly for breath. De Bau-
gis grasped the paper, so startled at
this new development as to be in
capable of comprehension.
"Under arrest? For what monsieur?
Treason. and mutilation of official rec
ords? What does 1t meanY
Thistle man knows, and will not
deny the charge. False testimony
sworn to, and signed by this Francois
Cassion, charged Captain la Chesnayne
with cowardice and treason. In con-
sequence the latter was broken of his
command, and his estates forfeited to
the crown. Later, through the efforts
of Frontenac, the king was convinced
Of injustice, and the estates were re-
stored by royal order. This order
reached Quebec. but was never re-
corded. This Cassion was then private
secretary to the governor, and the pa
per came into his hands. Later, to
hush up the scandal, he married Cap

JOLIET BOY FIRST
TO DESERT CAMP

Five Joliet boys, members of Co, &,
First Illinois Infantry deserted their
command at Camp Grant, Rockford,
late and were captured in Joliet
They were Andrew Bates, George
Bennett, Ambrose McGee. William W.
freedman. Frank Waltheim.
The boys were captured after
Sheriff Schol was notified by Capt.
Hamlet G. Ridgway, that they had de-
serted. Bates and McGee were pick
ed up in Cass street, while the other
three boys were taken at their homes.
All were clad in army uniforms.
Refusal Of army officers to give
them furlough that they might visit
Joliet, is the reason given by the boy,
for the desertion. The boys said that
they expected to be sent to Houston,
Texas within few days and wanted
to visit their families before going
TO the southern training camp. The
boys were taken to the county jail.
Because of the manner in which
the five left the Rockford cantonment
they are liable to charges of desert,
ing from the United States army. I'm
der military law the death penalty
may be imposed, or lesser punishment
from few days in the guard house
to a term in the federal prison. All
have good records previous to the
present escapade, and for this reason
1t is not anticipated that severe pun.
ishment will be inflicted upon them by
the courtmartial which they will be
compelled to face.

FARMERS BUYING
STOCK TO FATTEN

La Sale county farmers are prepar /
ing to feed more than the usual
amount of stock this winter, buying
range and western cattle on The Chi
cago and other markets and shipping
them to farms for fattening
Farmers from this section are
keeping in close touch with the ship
ments which are coming in to the
Chicago markets and il is expected
the coming months will see a large
amount Of cattle shipped here There
rs much rough feed on the farms in
this section every fall which can be
used for the fattening of stock at
little expense, and the farmers plan
this season to utilize this grain.
The corn crop in LA Sale county
gives promise Of being the largest in
many years, if weather conditions re
main favorable for few weeks long
er If it does not there will be an
immense amount OF soft corn in the
county, which will add to the feed
which will be available for the fat.
tening of cattle. and whichever condi-
ton may prevail the farmers are pre-
pared to take advantage of the OPP
pcrtunity Of picking up feeders on the
market and fattening them.
Consider Feed Sheep.
Some farmers of the county are
also considering feeding sheep during
the fall buying feeders on the mark
ct and fattening them with the rough
feed which might otherwise go TO
waste. 1t is likely the experiment of
turning the focks into the cornfeds
early In the season may be tried in
some sections. In this manner they
will be able to pick large amount
of feed from the lower part Of the
corn stalks at the same time not in
terfering with the ears, these as a
