RUM HAS BANNER YEAR
Receipts on Whiskey and Beer and
Tobacco Total S424 ,327,463.

Washington, June 20.--High tide of
whiskey and beer revenue receipts
and, presumably consumption-in the
United States was reached during the
fiscal year now closing. The cigarette
smokers of the nation, figures show,
also smoked more than ever before.
Ordinary internal revenue receipts,
composed chiefly of taxes on whiskey,
beer and tobacco, were $424,327,463 so
far this year, compared with $685., 1885,
544 last year. Gagged by revenue re-
ceipts, the present year probably will
go down in history as the banner year
of the liquor traffic.
Revenue collected on whiskey thus
far in the fiscal year is approximately
$17S,O00,O0O. a record for any year.
although the current fiscal year still
has eleven days. Ordinary receipts
still are pouring in, more than $1,000
600 day At the rate of $1.10 per
gallon, these figures mean that taxes
have been paid on about 154000,00
gallons. This exceeds by 100000
gallons the records of the next highest
year, 1913. Part of these heavy re-
ceipts is accounted for however, by
heavy Withdrawals from the bounded
warehouses in the fact of the 100 per
cent increase in taxes contemplated
in the war revenue bill more than
$6,000,000 increase in April, being at
tributed to this cause Withdrawals
have not been so heavy since April,
Revenue from beer is about S94 ,000,-
900, little less than the record of
1914 when approximately 66,O00,000 |
barrels-taxable at $3.50 per barrel
were consumed. 1t is expected that !
when the fiscal year closed June 80, |
the 1914 record will have been sur
passed.
Tobacco yielded more than 800, 900, !
900 revenue this year The nearest |
to this figure was last years |
revenue of approximately SSS,OOO, 900.
A large part of the Is per cent in |
crease is believed due to the growing |
popularity of cigarettes among wo-

LIVE THE CHEERFUL LIFE.
Look on the Bright Side and Enjoy
What You Have.


When we are in trouble we are prone
to cry out about it, complaining that
we are unjustly used, that no one else
has suffered as we do. When things go
well with us we take it as a matter of
course that so it ought to be. We are
not largely given to gratitude.
We may have food enough, CON-
Portable shelter, be clothed comfortably;
we may have health and employment
in such labor as we are able and like to
perform; we may have a competence
which puts us above anxiety-and still
we find fault and complain.
Some one may have a better dress,
or a handsomer car, or may entertain
more deliberately, or is greater in pop
ular favor than ourselves. There is
something that does not please us. In
stead of being glad that there are so
many things to make us happy we COM
plain and find fault. We let "crum-
pied roseleaf' spoil our Joy amidst a
wealth of things that should make us
glad.
Why not set the mind on the good
things of life? Ignore the things that
are petty and Of really small conse-
quence Cultivate a cheerful habit OF
mind, looking for all that is good and
approaching the blessings that have
fallen to our share.
For every one there is something to
enjoy. The sun ut least shines for all.
When you are heavy hearted count up
the good things of life that are yours to
Post.
