Chicago in particular. Because 1
know that the sickness, suffering
and misery they come in contact
with appeals to their inner selves for
practical aid and solution.
When parents do not follow their
instructions and advice and care for
their children accordingly, it is no
wonder they cry out: What viii you

Some parents are afraid to apply
a soft brush to the throat and cleanse
off the matter that gathers on the
tOnsils, or battle an infamed part
with just water. Some have no faith
in doctors, medicine or anything else
and some are Indifferent and lazy.
While some children absolutely re-
fuse any and all kinds of treatment,
others submit good naturally and are
helped.
And now you ask me, What will
you do about it," Well, will give a
point blank answer and tell you

other name might convey, the idea
of a community where sanitation,

Help me build this up, and 1 assure
you, all of you, who are Disguised
with the filth and disease in this city

misery you are compelled to witness

WHY PROHIBITION? - When a
man receives pay for trying to elm
mate what he thinks is evil and in so
doing stirs criminal tendencies to &C
ton, think it is wrong. Let me tell
Mr. Sheck that / will not trust the
sincerity of a man who tries to uplift
drunkaTds when he is paid by the
persons responsible for their cOndi-
ton.
Why pick drUnkards for example
when they are very small per cent
of the drinkers? Why not put every
body in Jail because Of the POSSIBLE
ity of their becoming criminals. The
sale Of liquor does not make drunk
ards; it is the lack of self-cOntrol on
behalf of the Individual
Here is some proof that drink is
not the cause of crime: About 80 per
cent Of the adult male population of
N. Y. state uses liquor Of 100000
adults in that state, 100000 drink.
In 1914, 1928 males were SEN
fenced, less than one per cent, Does
drink keep SO per cent virtUOus2 Men
do not engage in burglary while
drunk. It is impossible to conceive
of men planning to commit forgery
or grand larceny while intoxicated.
Extravagant wives and mothers
have made more paUpeTs than drink
has made possible.

state went dry it would increase the
efficiency of his employees Is per

increased the wages Is per cent? Oh,
no, because it would be from So to

SCARCITY OF
MINERALS
IS TOLD
MINING ENGINEERS ARE TO AID
GOVERNMENT IN
WAR

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 9. - The
United States soon will face a
grave scarcity of certain minerals
necessary to the successful conduct
of the war unless the vast mineral
deposits of the country are develop
ed, said W. G. Westervelt of New
York. chairman of the United
States war minerals board, in an
address before the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers. in ses-
sion here.
Nitrates, essential to the manu-
facture of gunpowder and high eN-
plosive shells. are imported in
small quantities from South Amer
lea, he said, because of the shortage
of ships. Manganese, a mineral
used in hardening steel for armor
plate and shells, he said, is impor-
ted at the expense of other neces-
sary articles, while vast deposits of
the mineral in Virginia. Arkansas
and Callfornla are unuer-ueNelOped.
Steps also must be taken at once
to insure a sufficient supply of lead.
tin, mercury, mica and zine neces-
sary to the successful prosecution
of the war" the speaker declared.
The speakers urged the minine
engineers to cooperate with the
board, the purpose of which is I,
insure a supply of minerals and
stimulate production from mineral
deposits now neglected. The II
gineers institute will be asked t.
supply volunteers to develop min
eral deposits that have not been
used. One of the speakers made
the following statement:

element and waste Of capacity. anG

amiably as they knew how.
The crowd swarmed all around
them. Thousands of women -
mothers, wives, sweethearts and sis
ters-eluded the blue uniforms by
seeking protection at the hands of
the khaki clad boys and in that way
slipped through the gates leading
to the ferryboat. They were turned
back, however, at the boat. and only
a few actually crossed the river
with the soldiers. The waiting
rooms on both sides of the ferry
were jammed.
The Jersey Central terminal,
where the regiment %entrained, was
a repetition of the spectacle. The
crowd of parents, friends and rela-
tives was overioyed when the rail-
road officials opened the gates lead
ing to the special troop trains, per-
hitting thousands to say goodbye
to their particular soldiers. Here
farewell receptions were held till

CLAIMS in 1917 AND
1913

The Taylor bill eliminating asses
ment work upon mining claims for
the years 1917 and 1918 has been
signed by President Woodrow Will
son and is now a law.
This information was received
last night in response to a telegram
dispatched to Uniteu States Senator
Key Pittman at Washington, whose
answer reads as follows: bill
eliminating assessment work for
this and next year has become {
law"
With the introduction of the bill
it was intended to exempt only own
ers of claims who had been Gale
to the colors of their country, but
the authorities at Washington went
one step further by relinquishing
all, believing that labor can be pro-
fitably employed in many instances

that war has put the wooden sock

The departure of the Seventh diff

Cattle Shipments Decline

Stock raising is ElkO c%ounty's
principal industry and this year the
number of cattle in the county is
the lowest in many years. The
small number is Offset to a degree
by increased prices, cattle bringing
from seven to eight cents as against
six cents last year. The railroads
have received orders for ATT stock
cars to be used this month. This
means that 1900 head will be
shipped in October, bringing in over
$1,000, 900.

West End Cons.
September was an extremely busy
month at the West End mill, the
records showing that from the West
End mine alone 1000 tons of ore
were received and treated, while re-
ceipts of custom ores from the
smaller mines of Tonopah a%ggregat-
ed nearly 1900 tons. The regular BIZ
weekly shipments of bullion were
made, the first one in September
consisting of 28 bars weighing 49,
3S1 ounces, having an estimated val
uation of $54,457. The final clean
up resulted in the production of
81 bars of gold-silver bullion, with
a total weight of 51,212 ounces.
Based on the present prices Of sill
YER. which have declined materially
within the past two weeks from the
extraordinarily high prices that pre-
vailed, the latest shipment from the
mil is estimated to be worth ap-
proximately $~56,33O.2O.

Boy portion proceeding as vigorously
as ever, while in the eastern portion
of the company's group of claims the
new work of exploration in the Ophir
King section of the mine continues

AS outlined in the report of the
Tonopah Belmont Development COM

Jim Butler company have agreed
with the former company to ship
the product from the latter mine to
the Belmont mill at Tonopah, which
necessitates only a slightly longer
haul by team than is required at
present, and eliminates entirely the
railroad haul from Tonopah to the
Belmont siding at Millers. AS Y
the Belmont mill in Tonopah has
not been fitted up to receive the Jim

doubtedly soon be completed. 1t has
