INSURANCE MEN DRY.

Speaking editOrially of the waste In
human life due TO drink, the Insurance
Magazine says:
"One of the brightest hopes that this
country had In Its entrance into war
was the hope of the abolition Of the
manufacture and use OF booze.
ut is permissible to disagree with
the president that beer and wine are
in any way more necessary than whls-
ky. Every one Of them Is first aid
to German bullets, an enemy to food
conservation and deliberately unjust
tax upon the entire country in time
of war.
"At some national or perhaps inter
national conference all the chiefs of
the insurance world will put n coop
eratlve ban on intoXicants.
'It is the man who drinks who il
more largely responsible for the pres
cnt mortality tables than any other
factor.
at is the man who drinks who Is
forced to pay greater sum for his
insurance than otherwise would be the
case. E.
''If the man who drinks is still ac-
ceptable as risk at n certain price,
then the man whose system Is free
from the braln-numbing poison is en-
titled to lower rate"

Of Chicago. The poor man sacrifices
his whole life to raise his children
and hopes when they grow up they
will be n help to him In his old age.

The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no sa-
looms can be established, or they Will
have laws made to bar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their CON
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors but when you drive the saloons
away from the rich mans home and
the doors of the church, you drive
them to the homes of the poor people

ages. The poor man cannot drive the
saloon away from his door with money.

lMPoRTANT.AS oLYMPIAN GAMES
OR BALL CONTESTS.

"Supposng our soldiers We're pre-
pairing themselves TO uphold the honor
of their country in the Olympian
games," said the Times. "Thelr friends
would help them and would be filed
with horror If they saw one going
wrong. To encourage him to drink
would be held an act of treachery de-
llberately intended to injure him and
the national cause. What are the
Olymplan games, or any other contests
whatever, compared with this? They
are play make-belieye. This is the
real thing, the true test of manhood.
Is our manhood, then, to be n shame
or an honor TO us?"

SCREEN ACTRESS TALKS.

Those who enjoy good, wholesome
motion picture plays will welcome the
action of Miss Blanche Bates in de-
clining to appear in any production In
which drunkenness is depicted. There
are many reasons she says, 'why all
the plays in which I've appeared have
been on the water wagon, and one of
them Is that l would not participate
in a drunken orgy any more on the

Ghost Revealed Hidden Gold.

A ghost showed asman a hidden store
of gold in Roseburg, Ore, the other
day. This was the story told by a
Chinese cook who recently found 5000
In gold in the house of Hop Lee, who
was victim of the tong wars two
years ago. He says that the ghost
of his murdered friend directed him
to the treasure. The money was found
In paper bag in plain sight of all
who entered room that had never
been occupied since the murder. The
Chinaman said that the dead man
would have killed him If he Rad not
