1t has long been one Of the stock ar.
guments against prohibition that hotels
could not be proftably conducted with
out a bar, remarks the Union Signal. In
some Of the campaign states hotel
keepers associations were formed to
work against prohibition. After a lit
tie more than one years experience in

to build new wing, doubling the
capacity and gross earning power Of

a bond issue of 100000 for this pur-
pose, The manager Of the hotel states !:

during the heavy tourist travel Of the
summer we have been forced to turn

BIG MONEY FROM PUREBREDS
interesting Comparison Made by I'LL
nois Agricultural College on
Dairy Profits.

A comparison of the yearly incomes
of 124 farms where purebred bulls
were kept at the head Of the dairy
herd, with 466 dairy farms where a
grade bull was used, has been made by
the Illinois Agricultural college.
The average farm income for the
first list of farms was $1,102 after de-
Quoting taxes, interest on investment,
etc. Where a grade bull was used the
farm income was $734. On SO farms
where scrub bulls were used the farm
income was only $24S, or only half
enough to pay interest on the invest
ment, ITO say nothing about any pay for
the owners time.

No greater calamity could befall the

A homemade milk stool, serving to

To make the stool cut a board feet

HANDY COVERED MILK PALS
More Important in Dirty Stable Than
In Clean one-Wire Gauxe ls
Sometimes Used.

Covered milk pals are more neces-
sary ina dirty than in clean stable.
Such pals are designed to reduce the
size lof the opening and thereby ex-
pose less milk to the air and the dust.
In some cases, layers Of cotton and
wire gauze are placed over the small
topped pail.
Careful trials have demonstrated
that 60 per cent less dirt and from %
to 90 per cent fewer bacteria get into
the milk when covered milking pals
are used.

pocToRs AoAINsT ALCOHOL.

DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL.
Il shall not soon forget the shock
experienced when a physician Of high
standing in Michigan confessed to me
that time and time again he had killed
patients by the use Of acohol while
still under the old delusion that alco-
hol was a stImulant," says Mr.. Henry
Stauffer, superintendent Of the Fox
River Valley Efficiency league. "The
common sense of mankind rightly con-
dones the practice Of this man be-
cause he did the best he and the pro-
fession knew at the time; but the
time of ignorance on this subject is
past"
Mr.. Stauffer sent an open letter to
the physicians in his state, asking this
question: knowing what You must
know of the tragedy Of alcohol, how
can you for a single day lend the in
fluence Of your example to its use as
a beverage in your community. AS a
result, III doctors willingly signed
for publication the following state
ment, which is being circulated:
1--WE positively condemn the use OF
all alcoholic liquors, including beer
and wine, because, by their effect on
the germ plasm they curse the unborn
child; because even their moderate
use has been proven to reduce the eff
cheney of the user; and, because in
multitudes of cases, the continued use
of alcohol in moderation proves to be
impossible. The moderate drinker is
a social menace"

FAMILY TROUBLES.

Judge William N. Gemmil, Chicago,
formerly Of the court of domestic re-

of all family assertions are due direct
ly or indirectly to the use of intoxi-

press crime in the community will be
futile" he says, 80 long as we license
1880 places where boys are turned
into bandits and husbands into wife
beaters."
