CALL IS FOR OLDER men
Men Between Thirty-one and Fifty to
Be Given Preference Service Is to
Be for Three neutrality-suspicious.
60 Be Made by July 18th

Bruce Eastman of the First National
Bank force has been named by the
United States army officials as recruit
ing officer FOR the new training camp
fer reserve officers which is to open
on August 9th at Fort Logan II. Roots
in Arkansas. The call to enlistment
is now to the older men of Kenosha.
Men of 81 and over, and up to A
years of age, are particularly wanted
professional men-men now holding re-
s3onsible positions and business execu-
,tives and men of special military train
ing up to so years. The military offic-
ials point out further that the more
mature men, who are ready to serve
their country at war, should consider it
solemn datv to apply for positions as
officers rather than to be content,
through modesty, with place in the
ranks.
Mr.. Eastman who is now in charge of
the local officers recruiting headquar-
tiers of the Military Training Camps AS
ISOLATION, emphasizes the words Of the
Washington office. "Since the best
ideal of service is for every man to do
what he is particularly fitted for, men
of maturity should con-ider that they
are fulfilling their plain duty by quail
flying as officers; that they are serving
their country most efficiently by serv-
ing as commanders.
This is the final call for older men
from civil life, who have fund Of
real, personal experience. Younger
men can rise from the ranks. The train
ing camp is primarily for those over
81 years of age.
The war department makes it very
clear that when the men, who secure
commissions at this last camp, have
taken their places as leaders of the
first 100000, all promotions will bs
from the rank and file.
Qualifications.
In Brief, the following are the quail
fications for admission to the new
training camps:
An intelligent, trained mind. Execu-
tive business ability. Previous mill
tary training is an asset - but not
necessary. The maximum age limit is
fifty years; the minimum, twenty
years mine months. However, in order
to obtain the experienced class of men
desired, preference will be given to
those over 81 years of age, other things
being equal.
The war department expressly states
that because of the anticipated large
number of applications, it will probably
be difficult for men under 81 years to
qualify, except in instances where the
applicants have pre-eminent qualifica-
tions or unusual military experience.
The government viii pay civilians in
training at the rate of 800 per month,
and will also furnish transportation.

biggest part of the liquor business
will fall to the brewers and in the
battle which is now being fought we
must not underestimate their strength
because they have plenty of intelli-
gence for planning their campaign
and plenty of wealth to put their
plans into execution, so far as It may
be humanity possible. They have
natural sympathizers, and they are
able to employ advocates of the very
highest efficiency for the promotion
Of their cause. Their efforts may all
be futile; but no one knows with abb
solute certainty that they may not ex-
claim with the king, in Confessions
of King Alcohol" as follows:
at matters not how these advo
Gates shall succeed, whether in mys-
terious, dark and crafty ways, or in
open courses; but | will say that my
| faith in the integrity and continuity
of my Kingdom, like the faith of ma
tions in their defenses, or like that of
pagans in the efficacy of prayer TO
| their carven gods, remains mistaken
because l am certain-they will Sue
ceed."
The thoughts herein expressed are
not for Encouragement, but only to
impress upon sincere Prohibitionists
the resources and power of the forces
battling to continue the alcoholic
curse upon mankind. All sincere Pro-
hibitionists, whoever and wherever
they are, should be stimulated to their
greatest, and unceasing, zeal by a
true comprehension of the obstacles
which must be successfully met be-
fore the great work can be finished
In the final reckoning the most pow
erful manifestation of Prohibition
sentiment can not be too much, while
even little less than the maximum
may not be quite enough to van
quish the desperate opposition which
must DC ONCltOlilO'
1t matters not how remote the pos
sibility; there is the ghost of a
thought at least that a compromise
on the beer-and-wne basis might
satisfy many who are now tentatively,
if not very actively, in favor of total
Prohibition. And it might also fix
the inertia of many others who might
otherwise, in the logical course Of
events, move over the line to the
Prohibition side.
1t may be pointed out, however,
that on the beer-and-wine basis the
intention seems to be to emphasize
the idea that men shall be deprived
of their time honored and almost
complete dramshop monopoly; and
that places for the consumption of
Intoxicating beverages shall be con-
verted into family institutions shall
be legally encouraged in women and
children as well as in men. This
idea seems to be one of the strong
est of the present liquor strongholds.
If it should predominant the Prohi-
bition movement might come to a
state of comparative rest, for time
at least; and its revival would require
a tremendous exertion to impart re-
newed energy and get its forces once
more into effective motion. Even if
such possibility as is here suggested
is not likely to materialize, there is
a no less imperative necessity that
every possible factor and personal
force shall increasingly express its
maximum power until the desired end
Ishall be safely and surely attained.

EDITION OF 1896

Alcohol first acts as a pow
erful excitant, and afterwards,
when given in very full dose, as
a most active represent and
paralyzant OF the nervous sys-
tenn.
By the primary stimulation of
the brain, it increases the rapid
ity but not the depth OF
thought.
In large doses it produces a
lack of coordination by depres-
sion of the brain. This often
makes drunken man fail to
recognize the angles and sur
faces of distractions.
When alcohol is ingested,
either by man or the lower ami
mails, it stimulates the heart
muscles and increases the rapid
ity as we'll as the force OF its
beat.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1917-01-05
EDITION OF 1916

Alcohol never acts as slim
ulant to the brain, the spinal
chord or the nerves. The in
creased activity of thought and
speech is not due to stimulation
but to depression of the inhib-
tory nervous apparatus. The
activity is, therefore, that caused
by lack of control and is not
real increase of energy.
The effect of moderate doses
differs from the effect Of large
ones in degree and not in kind.

Careful scientific research
has proved that alcohol is in no
sense a true stimulant to the
circulation in healthy persons.

SHALL MEN ALONE, OR WHOLE
FAMILIES, DRINK THE BOOZE
Or Shall Public Sentiment No Booze for Anybody
Ten Per Cent None?
By A. D. Smith

In its Christmas day issue, the Chi
cago Examiner published quite a
lengthy editorial on the subject of
alcoholic beverages. In one para
graph its said:
"The crest of the Prohibition wave
that is cngulfing whole states and
portions of many other states is the
elimination of distinct and wide
spread anti-saloon sentiment rather
than an effort to destroy the manu-
facture and general sale of alcoholic
liquors at single stroke
In another paragraph it also said:
"A II the abuses of saleen traffic
come from the retailing of poisonous
liquors. They do not come from the
sale of the lighter alcoholic bever-
ages. They do not come from sa-
looms that are truly the poor mans
club" or the beer gardens that are
meeting places for entire families
brought up under old world customs"
As suggesting many angles from
which the instant problem may be
viewed by thinking Prohibitionists,
and as discovering outlying fortress
ses which must be reduced before
Old Alcohol can finally be subdued,
it is an editorial not only interesting
but worthy of serious thought.
Undoubtedly one of the best or
ganized, most capably administered
and most efficiently financed CAM
,paigns ever formed to oppose good
and necessary reformation has set it
self resolutely against the nation
wide Prohibition movement in the
United States. Tremendous efforts
are being made to mold public opin-
ion to the acceptance of the brewers
plan to reorganize the alcoholic bev-
erage business so that it shall be con-
fined to the sale of drinks containing
ten per cent or less than ten per cent
alcohol, which would tend to reduce
the drunk-making traffic to prac-
tically monopolistic beer-and-wine
basis.
There is a chance that these eff
forts may succeed, temporarily at
least, in territory now legally wet
unless the greatest vigilance is main
tanned to guard against and counter
act a possible compromising senti-
ment in which might reside the bal
ance of power when the need of il
would be vital to the issue. If there
should be a pause in the great sweep
of the Prohibition movement on the
basis of such compromise; it would
not only mean years of continued
effort to overcome the tendency oil
many to accept an established condi'
ton, but would need much force tc
resist conceivably powerful drift il
the other direction.

nothing short of marvellous, but as
we approach the time of the decisive
struggle it is most meet that we dc

not undervalue the power of the op

sure of victory, and so, from dimin'

ner motored to Georgetown Mon
day, where they met with the
county commissioners and COM
pleted all plans and arrangements
for building the much needed road
from the main Alice road to the
Lombard mine. The new road
will start at point on the Alice
road known as the big rock and
thence along the south side OF the
mountain all the way to the mine.
The distance will be but little
over one mile and at no place will
the grade exceed ten per cent.
The completion Of this road will
afford ample means for the trans
portation of supplies to the mine
and ore from it at any and all times
of the year.

10000 Leagues
Under the Sea

The greatest achievement in
motion pictures, the taking of pic
lures OF human beings playing
their allotted roles in a drama
which is being performed on the
bottom of the ocean, has been ac-
complished by the Universal Film
company in their wonder picture
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
The Sea-. The story of this photo
play is a dramatization of Jules
Verne's masterpiece of imaginative
fiction which has been read by mil
lions of people under the same
title. In the filming of this photo
drama the marvellous Williamson
inventions were utilized to take
the moving pictures under the
surface of the ocean. By this pat
ented device many thrilling scenes,
including the fight with the octo-
pus and the trip through the shark
infested waters /near mysterious
Island" were photographically re-
corded. The taking of this pic
ture required two years time and
the services of 1900 actors. This
photoplay 10000 Leagues Under
The Sea" will be the attraction at
the Opera House, Thursday, March
Is.

Steady Production
AT the Gem Mine

Ihe Gem mine Is one OF the
busiest mines in the county at the
present time and is maintaining its
reputation as the largest producer
of ore in the county. On the GOO
foot level west of the shaft Mccall
and Anderson have about CON-
pleted cleaning out and retimber-
ing the level and will soon be in
shape to take out ore. On the
same level east, Hauquitz and
company are taking out fine smelt
ing ore from a twenty-inch streak
and have besides a streak of mill
dirt that will average three feet
in width.
On the 18th level VIM. Grose
and Co. have a splendid showing
and are sending out a good tonnage
every week. The same company
have a good body of smelling ore
on the 18th level, together with a
streak of mill dirt. Owen Red)
Jones and "Jack" Edwards are
also operating on this level with
good success and are shipping reg
ularly a good tonnage of both
smelling ore and mill dirt.
On the 18th level Hiren and
Company have had a fine body of
ore for year or more and still
have it with no indication of it's
playing out.
The l4th level is the scene of
lively operations. 1t is here that
the Mazda Leasing company have
their big ore shoot, one of the
largest and best ever opened in
any part of the mine. Swan Smith
and Company are working on the
same level and have one of the
best showings in the mine and are
making regular shipments of a
good grade of ore. Brown and
Company are also on this level
and like all of the rest of the
operators, have no cause to COM
plain on account of the size or
value of their body of ore.
A. G. Dart and associates have
encountered body of ore in the
1000 feet level that bids fair to
rival or surpass anything ever
opened in the mine, and as this is
the deepest point in the mine it
goes to prove that there is no
such thing as the ore playing out
in this old reliable vein as depth
is acquired.
The major portion of this ore is
treated at the Newton mills, which
are kept running to their full
capacity of 100 tons every "a hours.
In all of the above named work
ings the ore streak is from three
feet to seven feet in width and the
values range from SIS to $50 per
ton.
